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?

Entirely appropriate for you.

But my point still stands.

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Everyone thought it was quite strange that time I did sleep in my trousers.

[thebestnose.livejournal.com]

I don't think it was the trousers. I think it was the fact that you were sleeping in them because of rats.

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

It was only because I'd had that trouble with weasels before.

[thebestnose.livejournal.com]

Yes, I remember what you said.

But rats are not weasels.

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

But it's better to be safe than sorry when it comes to tender areas.

[thebestnose.livejournal.com]

I suppose you're right about that.

Try and keep your trousers and shirt on next time something like this happens.

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

I would like nothing more, believe me.

[thebestnose.livejournal.com]

Good.

[And a bit later.]

Can I take you up on your earlier offer of letting me read your Rulebook?

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Yes, of course. Anytime you'd like.

[thebestnose.livejournal.com]

I can come pick it up this evening.
