"So I guess you never stopped to think why this is a really bad idea?" Sam prompted as she loaded the footage of one of the videos they were reviewing for next week's fun and games. She gazed at the screen, hearing the sounds on the tape through her headphones. She fiddled with the dials to try to trim out some of the background noise; the microphone hadn't been well positioned for that one. It happened sometimes; they did the best they could when they were taking videos and recordings of the lives of their subjects - or potential subjects.
"I look like her. I sound like her. If I have to put up something on the network, he'll see my face. Hear my voice. And think I'm her."
Matt shrugged as he watched one of the other videos, tapping keys to enhance certain parts of it. He was positively giddy with anticipation for the reactions of the coming week. Sure, the reactions to the verbal stuff were fun, but things like this? The darker sides of their lives flashed out for everyone to see? He was betting he could get Jaime to suicide if Katie came back with enough of the right recordings. "So what? It's funny how it didn't matter when Kurtis would be," he paused to do finger quotes, "recognized by a handful of the rats."
Sam sighed. "Kurtis doesn't ... that's not the point," she protested, even as it was ... sort of ... the point. "I just ... I'm not comfortable with--"
Matt glanced over his shoulder. "Then maybe you'll think twice before you go behind my back and get people approved I deliberately had removed."
"You're an asshole." Sam sighed. "Is this really what this is about? Because I didn't want a werewolf tearing things up? So you bring in someone who ... you're an asshole," she muttered.
Matt grinned. Sam was sometimes as much fun to play with as the actual rats were.
