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?

...Alright, but what is it?

On that bike of yours. Speeding - you know, going too fast? Who the hell gave you a licence?

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

It's really just a big room that can be dressed up in different ways.

...a licence for what?

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

And it's big enough to drive a bike in?

To drive the bike, of course. You can't just get one and jump on it.

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

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

I had no idea.

[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?

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

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

[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]

Not that I can recall.

You do look so familiar...

use the right icons, kim. :/

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

... I can't figure out why.

Met you before, maybe? I don't remember you, though.

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Perhaps you simply have one of those faces.

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

Maybe I do.

Who are you, anyway?

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm sorry! Constable George Crabtree. It's a pleasure.

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

You don't sound British or anythin'.

Officer Edward Maylis, though.

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Canada. You're an American, I presume?

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

Damn straight I am.

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Congratulations.

[Americans you are a silly people.]

Have you been a police officer long?

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

Since I was 18, yeah. You?

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Seven years now.

[kingfor-aday.livejournal.com]

And you like it, yeah?

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Of course. Very much so.
