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?

[Hoffman, George, has been drinking because he's worried that he's not emotional enough about Sarah disappearing and questioning his feelings and all kinds of other bullshit.

And that, is a motorcycle that George has.]

...That's a motorcycle.


[Hoffman's voice is slightly slurred. He's got drugs and pain meds and no wardens woo hoo.]

Why do you have a motorcycle? And when did you get a dog?

[Oh, Hoffman. That is not how you love.]

Yes. I've always had a dog. Well, I've had her for three years, I just didn't bring her on board with me, because she's getting on in years, and also she violates shoes.

Sergeant Howie left me his motorbike when he...moved on.

[Real men love with booze.]

...I want a dog. I've always wanted a dog. Too many people don't play with their dogs in public. Do you miss her?

[long pause]

...You're gonna learn how to ride a motorbike?



[All the skepticalness.]

[omnomgriefseeds.livejournal.com]

Are you interested in getting a puppy?

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

I certainly wouldn't mind one.

[omnomgriefseeds.livejournal.com]

I can bring you a puppy. I can grant you anything you desire.

DRUNKEN THREADJACK. NEVER SORRY.

[points. excited]

Hey Crabtree! Look! It's a dog! Just like you wanted!

Wouldn't it be great if it was that easy?

[ its ears flick back ] You have lost something extremely dear to you, haven't you? I can feel it.

I miss my motorbike.

Re: Audio

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Had the two of you been together for a significant amount of time?

[George is serious.]

[Sirius smiles to himself.]

Yeah. I made her fly. She was beautiful.

[DID SOMEBODY SAY PUPPY? Have video of Dug excitedly sniffing a communicator which has somehow turned on, despite his lack of opposable thumbs]

Hello!

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Hello! What's your name boy?

[doctor-scarf.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't worry George, I haven't got a puppy either.

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Perhaps the Admiral was worried that K-9 would become jealous.

[yeahscience.livejournal.com]

We can have bikes here?

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

It would seem so, yes.

I nearly asked the Admiral for a pair of bicycles once, for jousting, but then that young lady knight disappeared.

you can't have howie. but you can have nic cage. :( SORRY.

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

You plannin' on riding that, kid?

[pause]

You do know how, right?

So close. And yet: so far.

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

I do. A dear friend taught me.

You...look strangely familiar...

[George tries to not even vaguely remember that time he was Brett Babcock.]

[yourunichase]

He's given out puppies before.

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

What became of them?

[iwashisreason.livejournal.com]

...Nice bike.

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Thank you miss. It was a friend's.

[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]

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