Case #10: Video

[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.))

And how would it be different than...say...having dinner with me?

Well it wouldn't be terribly different. I suppose I just wouldn't say any romantic things.

Well, I would hope not. But you shouldn't say romantic things if you don't mean them.

[Pause.]

Do you even know anything romantic to say?

Of course.

And I'm no slick wordsmith, but I can turn a phrase or two.

If you need any other ideas, I can think of ones for you.

It's what I did in East Carmine.

What, said romantic things?

Yes. You should probably plan these things in advance so that you don't sound like an idiot later.

Who did you say romantic things to?

[A laugh.] No one, George. I help other people say romantic things to people.

Ask Eddie.

Ohhhhhhh. I see.

What sorts of things do you recommend a man to say?

Normally I get paid for this advice.

Would you accept barter?

Of course. What do you have to offer?

Let's see...well, if you need any posters made, I could do that. Or: I have a certain flair for gift wrapping. I also have a very fine collection of bath oils, if you like that sort of thing. I...could teach you to ride a bicycle? Oh! I could have you over to tea. ...I could build you a shield to protect you from Death Rays...

I don't need posters, gift wrap or bath oils. I do know how to ride a bicycle. So I suppose the only option left is tea.

What's a Death Ray?

It's a gun that shoots a sort of...beam that cooks you from the inside out.

Are you sure about the bath oils?

Quite sure, yes. I'm not sure what I would do with them.

I'd rather learn how to stay away from that Death Ray.

You get behind the shield. Or you can try going underwater, but it gets hot.

I thought you were supposed to tell me that over tea.

It would have made for a terribly short tea.

The advice I have to give will make for a longer one.

Oh? I'll dig out the good biscuits, then.

I'll pretend to be flattered.

I don't think you'll have to pretend very hard: they're quite delicious. With chocolate bits!

You have to tell me where, George, remember?
