Case #26: Video

[19centconstable]

[George is stood in his room. If it seems more well lit than usual...it is. Because ghosts can't haunt you in the light; too see-through.]

I think the obvious solution is to hold one to several seances. Whom on board is the most sensitive?

We might also try to catch one of the spirits mid-haunt and try to communicate with it there, but that would require everybody turning out their lights and being quite quiet, luckily, rather late at night. Would anybody else be interested in taking part in such an investigation? ...because I wouldn't like to undertake one alone.

[long pause] ...I'm gonna let that slide George. Because...it's not something..You're trying to play Paranormal Activity and it's not going to work.



[Gonna let it slide.]

Why not?

Re: Private.

Bad things happen.

...It's about a guy and a girl who fuck with things that should not be fucked with. It's called Paranormal Activity.

[He saw it before shit got real. Paranormal Activity is clearly Saw's "SAW". There are eight of them and they have long since stopped making sense.]

It's a story, you mean?

Re: Private.

[expectremorse.livejournal.com]

It's a story about seven movies long. Later it gets a little convoluted-a lot like...

[Hoffman shakes his head] A lot like the movies I'm from.

It's a story about this man and this woman who live in this house. This woman is being followed by a thing-a ghost-demon-whatever you want to call it. She and her boyfriend are in the house and she's hearing noises-things are bumping and they're bothering her. Eventually she gets possessed by these demon and goes running around kidnapping people to fufill an ancient family curse.

It gets a little convoluted and the cops in it are totally fucked and there's this priest who's trying to direct this cult and human sacrifices but the first one had a huge impact. Broke the mold so to speak. Everybody was smiling and staring creepy around halloween at mirrors...

...you're from a ghost story movie?

Private. I love George. Just saying.

[expectremorse.livejournal.com]

No. I'm from a piece of shit circlejerk horror film where a bunch of self-important hollywood people congratulate themselves on warping the youth of America with John's message and...

[Hoffman pauses, breathing deep and taking a breath.]

...I want in. On your Seance thing.

Private. He's the loveable-est.

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Oh. Uh. Oh?

Well you're welcome to come, of course.

Private - Hoffman is just...headdesking. Cops should not be loveable! they should be SCARY.

[expectremorse.livejournal.com]

If you're ever interested I'll show you it sometime and you can laugh at how shabbily I was portrayed.

Yes, but I want you to watch this movie first okay?

Private - George lulls people into a false sense of security.

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

That seems rather rude.

I don't know where I'll find the time to watch all of these movies you're suggesting. How do modern people manage?

Re: Private - Awwww.

[expectremorse.livejournal.com]

...Yeah you know something? It was. They showed all of her humanity and all of the good things that she did and left nothing for me.

[he might sound a little wistful at that. It's what he believes at the moment unfortunately.


I've never thought to ask. Something I do for fun.

Private - And then he punches dudes.

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Who was this?

You must have more time in the future.

Re: Private - And then he punches dudes.

[expectremorse.livejournal.com]

...Her name is Amanda Young.

She took everything I mattered and despises me because I killed her serial killer father and his wife

Re: Private - And then he punches dudes.

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Oh, Miss Young.

I find her very frightening.

Private - Audio

[expectremorse.livejournal.com]

She's a manipulative bitch who wants to be loved without any care to anyone else's feelings. She's a self-centered egotistical bitch who doesn't see anything beyond herself or her father.

Why do you find her frightening? Did she say something to you?

Re: Private - Audio

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

No, we've never spoken, she simply gives me the shivers. Like this girl we arrested once for murdering her parents, only she hadn't, it was the brother. Anyway: she was simple in the head, but it turned out she had multiple personalities, due to a horrible trauma. She bit me. It was terrible.

Private - Audio

[expectremorse.livejournal.com]

....She stole the guy I thought was my mentor. She's proof that I threw away everything everything for the sake of one bastard and his philosophy. He manipulated me, lied to me, used me, and she...

Bitch is smarter then I am.

She's better then I am clearly.

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

It sounds as though the two of you have a very complicated relationship.

Private - Audio

[expectremorse.livejournal.com]

[He doesn't like talking about Amanda. :|]

She's nothing. Deep down. Not important.

...So when are you holding your "activity" session?

Re: Private - Audio

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Right.

I'm not sure. I need to do some reading up on it first. Perhaps around the weekend.

Private - Audio

[expectremorse.livejournal.com]

Fair enough.

[he licks his lips] Can I ask you a question?

Private - Audio

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Yes, of course.

Re: Private - Audio

[expectremorse.livejournal.com]

Do I scare you?

[Hoffman can't keep the emotion out of his voice. He sounds...anxious? Anxious. That's anxiety. He likes George. George says nice things.]

Private - Audio

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

No.

But thinking about you committing murder does make me...sad.

Private - Audio

[expectremorse.livejournal.com]

...

Because I was a cop and I did it or because I was me and did it?
