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. ]

	...don't tell me, you have no idea who I am. You're from the 1940s and you still don't know who I am. [ sorry, he's a little frustrated by that. happens when you get completely jilted by the history books when you're pretty much responsible for ushering in the modern electrical age. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Am I supposed to? [ farm girl. from saskatchewan. learning about the intricacies and betrayals of the history of the modern electrical age weren't really practical studies, okay? ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I invented the radio, so yes. You're supposed to. [ marconi was a cheapskate and a hack. just like edison and westinghouse. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ she gapes for a moment. ] Seriously? They stuck the inventor of the radio in prison? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And alternating electric current, plus a number of other patents I still have to my name. [ he can work with this. ] I'm afraid you'll find Thing 1 and Thing 2 don't have much respect for justice, or a good grip on the law. They've imprisoned mere teenagers for skipping class and jaywalking. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah, I'm noticing that... [ still, though. he invented radio. doesn't that earn him points, or something? ] (Reply to this) (Parent)
