Case #8: Video

[19centconstable]

[George is COMPLETELY DRESSED. So dressed. He also looks slightly pink and wrinkly, like he's spent too long in the bathtub.]

I've been in the tub.

[For two days, apparently. And still so unclean. His hair is also not parted and slicked down as usual, and is currently making a sort of wild, fluffy, dark halo around his face. The ends curl a bit. George's hair may eat combs. George is too sulky to do anything about it. This flood has tested even his unwavering positivity.]

I want to apologize for...

...

...everything.

[A curt nod, and the camera is switched off.]

...

[Then switched back on again.]

I would just like to say, also, just so you know, that I am never...unclothed, not even underneath my clothes.

...I'm getting back in the tub.

[The camera is switched off.]

...

[Aaaaaaand switched on again. He's here, he might as well. George clears his throat.]

Who...does...the art?

I know. It is Coyolxauhqui.

You can call me Coyo. Some do.

Miss Coyo.

And I'm terribly sorry again for any inappropriateness.

[leadsthestars.livejournal.com]

That man was strange, but amusing. I was not offended.

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

I appreciate you saying so.

[leadsthestars.livejournal.com]

Do not feel guilty over the things you can't control.

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

People still deserve apologies for them, though.

[leadsthestars.livejournal.com]

Yes, the apologies are good, but you do not need to feel guilty too. It has happened to all of us.
