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. ]

	[ that's completely reassuring, actually. not that betty is going to clarify just what was on her full list of crimes, at least not yet. ] Betty McRae. And so long as there aren't any of Fritz's friends here, it's seeming more okay by the second. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Who's Fritz then? Someone you don't care for 'm gonna guess. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ who doesn't know what fritz is? ] A Fritz is a fascist, you know. A Nazi German. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ someone who grew up in the late 90's.] Oh. Sorry. Right. Must've dozed off in class that day. [Or perhaps she'd already dropped out.] Yeah. None of 'em here far as I know, so you're safe there. [ of course, she doesn't know everyone here.]</small> (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ well, the 90's is a pretty good excuse for anything. betty's only excuse is that slang from the 40's didn't make for required reading later on in the century. ] Far as you know is better than how far I know, so I'll take your word for it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Have you been told 'bout the shops, the flats, and the food? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	video bombsheller 2013-06-13 06:23 pm UTC (link)
	No. Didn't really listen much to that message earlier, to be honest. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think most of us are too overwhelmed to really pay much attention to it. All the things in the shops are free. Flats too. You just gotta pick an empty one. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	So no money? [ wait, then that means... ] No jobs, either? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	video mightbelate 2013-06-17 05:20 pm UTC (link)
	There's plenty-a jobs if you want 'em. There's some resident run businesses and if you got an interest in workin' in one of the bot run businesses you can. People like interactin' with each other instead of bots. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ she nods, a little numb and not entirely sure what bots are but very sure she doesn't want to know just yet. ] I can work. Guess I can look around for something later. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's a good way to pass the time I hear. Might ask 'round. See if anyone's hirin'. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	video bombsheller 2013-06-19 03:44 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, I'll do that. And thanks, for... [ a helpless and awkward gesture goes here. ] Telling me things. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You're welcome. We've all been in the same situation before. (Reply to this) (Parent)
