Day 223 | video - open
[ the feed clicks on, showing a very consternated young woman. and then off. and then on! off! on! off! betty has no idea what she's doing, but there's a switch and she's flipping it back and forth angrily because she can't tell whether it's on or off and didn't pay as close attention to her welcome speech as she should have. ]

Stupid, bloody -- [ off. on. ] -- piece of -- [ off. on. ] -- even is this -- [ off. on, steadily now that she's taken the damn thing off and looked at what she was doing. that helps! but now she looks like she's about to cry and is trying very hard to be stiff upper lip about it. ]

What kind of prison gives you some comic book gadget, anyway? [ she takes some deep breaths now that the battle of the weird head thing is over. deep and calming, leading to an awkward pause as she realizes just what was on that list of crimes. now she's afraid and offended. ]

You know, that list of crimes is a bunch of bunk. If they think building bombs to stop Hitler is a crime then they're a bunch of Nazis!

[ probably (most assuredly) not the best first impression, but the feed clicks off again before she has a chance to fix it. ]

	[An indulgent grin. She has a lovely laugh.] A bit like that, yeah. Only my time machine is just a strap around my wrist... And it doesn't work any more, or I'd show off a bit and take you on a trip! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, sure, I bet it's a real gas if only we weren't stuck in prison. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He grins, wryly.] Yeah, there is that. Of course, I'm working with some other folks on trying to make it useful again, but those wardens really do seem to have it in for us in that respect. I mean, it wasn't working properly before for a long while, but it's working a lot less now! ((Sorry for leaving you in the lurch. RL got in the way somewhere!)) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, they're wardens. I don't think they're supposed to help you with time traveling wrist do-hickeys. ((No worries! I'll backtag forever. ♥)) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He gives her a droll look.] Oh, don't you go using logic on me! [He's impressed that she's clearly managed to keep her sense of humour, despite finding herself in prison.] So, where are you from, Miss 1940s? ((OOC: Thank you! :-) )) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ mostly, it's to help delay the oncoming emotional breakdown. humor is good at that kind of thing. ] Toronto, and my name is Betty. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2013-06-24 08:30 pm UTC (link)
	[He takes that as the hint it is and doesn't call her 1940s again - not yet, at least.] Toronto, huh? And you've got the war effort going there too? [Warmly] Gotta love the way you people all pull together when there's a big enough threat! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Had it going since before the Americans hopped in, yeah. [ though she's not exactly sure how to take the you people comment. women? canadians? earth... people? ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2013-07-01 01:16 pm UTC (link)
	[Yeah, that’s a ‘earth people’ thing. He still thinks of himself as separate, even after all this time.] And let me tell you, from one who was there, the folks on the other side of the Atlantic really appreciated that effort! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I bet they do. Or did, from your end of it. [ it's weird, talking about her life in the past tense. still, it's heartening to know all that work pays (paid?) off in the end. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2013-07-05 01:50 pm UTC (link)
	[He smiles, not without sympathy.] Sorry. You'll get used to the different tenses after a while! Anyway, I guess I'd better leave you to settle in. Always available if you need anything, though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bombsheller 2013-07-07 11:40 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, there's plenty to do. I'll keep an eye out for ya when I'm finished with it all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2013-07-08 09:33 pm UTC (link)
	I'll look forward to it! [Well, she's cute, and sassy. He likes that. He gives her another grin, and then cuts the feed.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
