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 can only speak because my old master built me this collar.

How clever! Was he an inventor?

[plzbemyprisoner.livejournal.com]

He was! He was a good inventor even if he was not a good master.

That sort can often get wrapped up in their work.

He certainly-SQUIRREL!

[And Dug turns to stare at seemingly nothing.]

Where?

[George is also staring.]

Over here! I saw a squirrel!

I didn't know we had squirrels on the Barge. They can be terribly troublesome. Not as bad as rats, but nearly so.
