Case # 12: Video

[19centconstable]

[George is in his room. He looks slightly dazed and has a damp washcloth pressed against his head. There is a bruise blooming underneath it.]

I'm afraid I was...indisposed.

[George shuffles his feet and there is the sound of broken glass crunching.]

But I've managed to find my trousers now. Has something happened?

[Dick looks like he just rolled out of bed and run a hand through his hair as he answers, wish musses it up more than it already was.] If I'm reading all this backlog stuff correctly, I think Sveta cursed us by accident and Cooper killed her before the ship could go down. Or something. I've been mostly asleep for the last forty eight plus hours, so I'm not exactly sure what happened.

You just concentrate on not dying, Howie.

[Her own camera flickering on, Fred notes the bruise first. Then the distinct sound of crunching.

Indisposed. And trousers?]

...is everything all right?

Yes, miss. I'm afraid a light fixture fell on my head, and I'm not sure how long I was out for. But I seem to have stopped the bleeding.

I got nearly eaten by a plant.

Turns out that wasn't the worst thing that could happen. You alright?

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Oh, come now. Plants haven't even got mouths.

I'm going to bruise.

[leadsthestars.livejournal.com]

Have you been injured?

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

My light fixture became...unfixed. Onto my head. I've been out all day.

[thebestnose.livejournal.com]

Why is it, when these things happen, you manage to be in some state of undress?

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

I'm not! I said I'd found them!

[toldastory]

You should come into the infirmary and be seen too.

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you're all quite busy with the truly injured, doctor.

[so-meretricious.livejournal.com]

Indisposition seems to be quite contagious of late. I hope that you are now found well.

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid I'm not, Mr. Holmes.

[what_ho_jeeves]

Oh, there you are Constable! I think someone's been hurt. [Bertie is a bit slow on the uptake. (He also thinks that George and Howie are the official ship's bobbies, to whom such things should be reported.)]

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

[Bertie...you are so right.]

I'm afraid we're too late, Mr. Wooster. Someone's been killed.

[young-idealist.livejournal.com]

This was a terrible mess. Are the ladies taking care of your injury? [Meaning he did see Fred and Martha's offers.]

I never did show you the laundering facilities did I?

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure at all how it can be rectified.

I've gotten a hang on the washers myself, but I don't trust the drying machines: they cook meat.

[sirius-is-a-dog.livejournal.com]

How did you lose your trousers?

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

There was a...rash of bad luck going around and I misplaced them between my bath and my bed.

Private.

[acertifieduser.livejournal.com]

I need a fucking new chair.

[The looooooongest pause.]

I don't believe it's healthy to do that with furniture...

after he's a little more coherent. written, cause talking sucks.

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

A lot of things have.

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Yes, Sergeant. I've been told now.

I'm...I can't begin to apologize enough for failing you.
