Case # 30: Video

[19centconstable]

[George is dressed casually for George. No uniform, and no jacket. His shirt-sleeves are rolled up, and his hair is untidy. He has Howie's motorcycle, and several books about motorcycles out on the floor around him, where he is sitting.]

Is it just me, or has everyone been a bit quiet today? Is there something going on that I'm unaware of?

I suspect it must be something very good, as I would have heard of something awful, where as I certainly can't blame people for being distracted away from their devices, if, say, the Admiral has given everyone a puppy.

[George looks pleased. And then very thoughtful.]

...

But then of course, I would wonder: where is my puppy?

Yes. It's big enough to have rivers sometimes.

I had no idea.

[yourunichase]

Something like that.

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

How clever! Was he an inventor?

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

I don't think anyone who gives out puppies could be bad.

[yourunichase]

Yeah, well.

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

How can somewhere have rivers sometimes?

So... how did you not know that, mate? I can't seriously believe you...

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

I'm not entirely sure.

We haven't really got motorbikes where I come from. Well. We have two, I think.

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

...And folks are letting you drive this thing?

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Yes?

[eternalpage.livejournal.com]

Well, if you need a puppy, sir, I can just go and get one for you! I can't believe you'd be left out of a gift basket list! [GASP.] Unless you displeased Mr. Donaghy.

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

There seems to be a lot of chatter on the devices today.

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

I don't believe I know a Mr. Donaghy...

[eternalpage.livejournal.com]

Jack Donaghy, the Vice President of Television and Microwave Programming? ...oh dear, you're not from NBC, are you. If you're not from NBC, then why're you showing up in my chat list? Maybe it is birds in the antenna, mixin' up our signals...

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

At least tell me you know not to drink, yeah?

[yourunichase]

It happens from time to time, sometimes the Admiral decides to let us talk to people from home or whatever.

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, I'm not from Northern British Columbia at all: I'm from Toronto.

Although my aunt did once have a rooster stuck in her flue.

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Well I do enjoy a drink now and again...

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

...But not before you drive. C'mon?

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Can we request to be connected to particular parties?

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Not that I can recall.

You do look so familiar...

[yourunichase]

We can ask if they're out there, but a lot of the time it doesn't work like that.

[Someone's tried.]

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

That certainly is a shame.

[yeahscience.livejournal.com]

...Okay. [He's starting to learn how to filter shit that makes no sense. IT'S THE BARGE.]

Where do you ride, the CES?

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Yes infact. And I had thought about bringing it to Paris, but then I purchased an automobile instead.

Anyway, how have you been? Lack of a puppy aside, of course.
