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?

I don't disagree.

[George looks a bit confused by the background. But then, Prefect's room is full of boxes.]

I suppose. I suppose everyone does.

Something unattainable, no matter how many years you reach for it.

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Oh no, I believe quite firmly that if I put my mind to it, I could accomplish anything I wanted to.

[IT'S THE VICTORIAN WAY.]

[omnomgriefseeds.livejournal.com]

I can help you.

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much, but I believe I've got a handle on things. I do appreciate the offer, though.

[omnomgriefseeds.livejournal.com]

My help may be what you need to get there. No one can stand alone, right?

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

I actually think it's rather important to be able to stand alone; to make one's own way in the world and owe no man.
