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?

Jane.

Where did you go? Did you want to go?

[Private]
So much was happening...I thought that you might have just...gone.

Jane. Sorry. I've been...Victorian again. Um. I went home. Which I had wanted, just to look in on my cousin and such. I'd asked the Admiral. Although I'm not sure he was the Admiral at the time. But at any rate, he seems to have filled my request.

[Private]
Oh no. I'd have been back sooner, I just hadn't remembered that this place existed.

Oh. I've heard that sometimes happened. How long were you gone?

Six months.

I wrote a book.

You did? About what

Mummies. Murders. The Queen.

Would you like to read it?

I would love to read it! Do you have a copy?

I do. Just the one, though. Perhaps I should make others.

Maybe. I would hate for you to lend out that one.

I'll warm up my Oliver.

Your what?

My typewriter.

Can I see it?

My typewriter? Of course.

[She also might be worried for you, George. THIS IS AN ELABORATE PLOY.]

I really am glad that you're back. Even if you were only gone for a week.

Is this your way of saying I was missed?

Of course you were.

I'm extremely touched.

...why?

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

Oh. Thank you, George.

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

That would be lovely.

I still do want to read your book, too.

You're certainly welcome to, but it make take a day or so. Depending on how quickly you read.

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