Case #10: Video

[19centconstable]

[George's hair is being untamed again. It may actually be plotting something. I wouldn't trust it not to fake left and then dart right, that's all I'm saying.

More importantly: George is wearing this. And jeans.]

My tea shirt [and you can hear the t-e-a in his pronunciation] has a mustache.

[George looks confused. And a little enthralled. And slightly suspicious.]

And Mr. Spinola has an interest in working with the infirmary.

[George glances down at his shirt again.]

I do believe it's staring at me.

((George is not affected by the flood, so if you would like your character to be overwhelmed by optimism, youthful enthusiasm, or a distrust of modern underwear, feel free to spam away.))

[Private] OPTIMISTIC WICHITA IS A GO. A LOLGO.

Hi, George. I think you look great in that getup.

My name's Wichita, and I don't know if we've been introduced yet. I think we're going on a date, though.

Why would one put a mustache on a shirt?

Oh, yes, of course: Miss Wichita. It's very nice to meet you.

[Private]

[wichita-kansas.livejournal.com]

You probably shouldn't tell Eddie we've been introduced. I just thought it'd be fair since I know who you are. Besides, nobody really enjoys completely blind dates.

Nice to meet you too. I like the mustache, it's uh... funny?

[yourunichase]

Well god damn, George, you clean up good. See, I told you t-shirts were for drawing attention.

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

How does my not brushing my hair and going around practically half-naked constitute cleaning up?

[yourunichase]

It means that you look fucking good.

[everylittlegirl]

[brb dying of laughter.]

The mustache was a nice touch. Maybe the Admiral does have a sense of humor.

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

But what does it mean?

[everylittlegirl]

It doesn't mean anything. It's supposed to be funny, which it is.

[thebestnose.livejournal.com]

[Friends are supposed to be blunt, right? Truthful...not so much.]

That's not a good look for you.

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

I definitely agree. My arms are all...visible.

This isn't for your date, is it?

Private.

..What are you wearing, George? It doesn't look bad, but it might be better if you tried some of my clothes if you're going to be staying like that. And, if you want to have your date in modern clothes? You're definitely wearing some of mine. I'm not saying you look terrible like that -- you really don't look half bad -- but modern dates are about dressing up nice and trying to make a good impression. I'd guess it's always been like that, actually. A mustache shirt doesn't really do that.

I don't know! I made a pact with Miss Haley to dress modernly if she would dress like young ladies do in my day, and this is what the Admiral supplied me with. There is another shirt with some sort of octopus on it. I don't understand it at all.

Private. Preferences on doing date before/during/after flood? Also, you okay logging it w/ Wichita?

[acertifieduser.livejournal.com]

That's.. not modern. Jesus. I don't even know what that is. I'll come by later with some other clothes so you don't embarrass yourself.

You'll need to talk to Martha about him working in the infirmary, but I have no objections to it.

Does he have any experience?

Private

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

I don't believe so, but he's got a very keen mind.

Infirmary filter.

[toldastory]

I've no problem with that. Does he have any training?

Infirmary filter.

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

No, but I trust you'll find him a very quick study, and he's used to being kept quite busy.

(Bertie is affected, but there wouldn't be much difference. Except maybe the distrust of underwear.)

[what_ho_jeeves]

[Bertie is staring at the shirt, brow furrowed in confusion. Stare stare stare.]

I say...

I say...

I say...why does your shirt have a moustache? For that matter, why is it called a "tea shirt?" I'm quite sure Jeeves would never speak to me again if I wore such an abominable thing to tea.

Underwear: what does it want from us?

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

I believe I agree with your Mr. Jeeves.

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

...That is a very odd t-shirt.

I think I prefer your... normal dress. No offence.

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure I trust it.

None taken: I agree. You can nearly see my armpits.

[doctor-scarf.livejournal.com]

I have some spare clothes in the TARDIS if you don't want something that stares at you.

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Have you got any from the early 21st century? Only that was the deal.

Perhaps I should have worn the octopus.
