Case #29: Video

[It's an extreme close up of a Victorian constable! George has accidentally turned the camera on himself while picking up his communicator in an attempt to figure out what the strange device is. He looks a little older; a little stockier, because no one escapes the ravages of aging, and 1898 has been kind of a stressful year, what with all of the meth, and Draculas, and outwitting the American government. All of the brass on his uniform is also particularly shiny, and he's wearing a pair of white dress gloves and an expression of general confusion.

And then you can see it slowly dawn on him. And then there's a dizzying shot of the floor flying past as George hurries to make sure that...

Yes. The toilette remains.]

Oh my goodness I'm back.

[There's the sound of someone flopping back onto a bed, and a close up of a quilt. The quilt has the spotlight for a good few minutes, until George remembers the communicator is still running. Normal view!]

Could anybody tell me when it is here?

That awful October business had just been dealt with. I'm told it's not much past that. The ship was certainly repaired quickly.

...are you still a dragon?

...why?

I'm sorry that they didn't.

It's just nice to know you mean something to someone, particularly when you think so highly of them.

As am I. Marriage to someone else is quite final.

Oh. Thank you, George.

I'll come by and see that typewriter this afternoon, alright?

That would be lovely.

Oh no.

[Audio] George, you are so adorable.

How thoughtful of her. [It goes a little something like that.]

Why in the world would you want to come back?

Re: [Audio] have you seen the season 5 promo pix on Shaftesbury's twitter?

Well, she does rent me the room furnished. [Right over the head.]

Because I think it's important.

And also because we haven't got spaceships where I come from. ...That I'm aware of.

I suppose some things just aren't meant to be.

Ah, so you were here for all that. Sorry. The last week has really been quite a muddle; I blame the painkillers.

I hope so too. Things seem to be running normally again, at any rate. Perhaps we can hope for a relatively quiet month.

The same thing happened again - I came back. Not like people normally do here, but I talked to Rex whilst I was officially... dead.

How interesting. What was it like?

[identity profile] 19centconstable.livejournal.com 2011-11-06 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I was but I was injured as well. Are you still?

Perhaps we can go back to Paris?
una_persson: (oh sod)

[personal profile] una_persson 2011-11-07 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
I expect I'll be in this stupid sling for another two weeks at least. I'm just glad it wasn't worse.

Paris would be lovely, but I'll take anywhere quiet and pleasant at this point.

Did you also attempt to open the CES with your shoulder?
strangehistorian: (the confused D:)

[personal profile] strangehistorian 2011-11-07 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
It repaired itself almost instantly, it seems.

And yes, I am still a dragon.

Re: Private- spam/assume?

[identity profile] thebestnose.livejournal.com 2011-11-07 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
I still do want to read your book, too.

[identity profile] 19centconstable.livejournal.com 2011-11-07 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
Quite thoughtful of it.

Very good.
strangehistorian: (the clever)

[personal profile] strangehistorian 2011-11-07 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
[Giggle.] Yes.

Private- Whichever works for you!

[identity profile] 19centconstable.livejournal.com 2011-11-07 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
You're certainly welcome to, but it make take a day or so. Depending on how quickly you read.

Then SPAM it is

[Jane knocked twice on his door that afternoon, more interested in seeing him than the typewriter. Though that did fascinate her, too.]

[identity profile] 19centconstable.livejournal.com 2011-11-07 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
Much nicer than coming back to all of that rust. It was really becoming depressing, as I recall.
strangehistorian: (the frustrated)

[personal profile] strangehistorian 2011-11-07 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
Very disconcerting. Not to mention the ghosts.
