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. ]

Not unless that's another way to say 'amatol.'

[ suspicious! victory munitions just finished that secret project and everything... not that she has any idea what that was about, or what atomic means. there aren't likely to be spies in prison, especially a prison as strange as this one, but there is always a possibility and betty will not have her loose lips sinking ships. ]

	Another way to say "cause for planetary obliteration" if used against humans. So says the Great Convention. [ there is a sardonic hint to his tone, mildly bitter and brusque. "the forms must be obeyed," but he does not respect them as others do. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's... [ 'planetary obliteration' takes a moment to sink in, and she shakes her head to get it to settle. biggest they might obliterate is themselves, and maybe part of toronto if they're truly unfortunate. ] Sounds like something out of a horror picture. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A picture? Hah! [ he allows himself a small burst of bright, musical laughter. ] It is my reality. What year are you from, hm? [ he assumes that she will be within a few years of the carter woman, what with the names she's been dropping. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ scary reality... but she sighs, like she's being asked to fill out a form in triplicate. maybe she should just write it on her forehead. ] 1942. November, if it makes any difference. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ so, sometime completely nonsensical to her frame of reference. excuse her, this is hard. ] I'll just pretend you said something that made sense so I don't end up a complete loon. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ a tiny smirk twitches onto his lips; he can't help it. getting people to wig out about time discrepancies will has become a bit of a guilty pleasure of his. ]

Learn to make sense of it. I am not the only one here whose time is advanced far beyond yours— though I believe I may be one of the most far advanced. [ it's difficult to tell quite where he sits in relation to everybody else, given that there are so many different universes with different frames of reference coalesced here, but his estimate is a good one. ]

	Yeah, I'll hop right to it after I finish figuring out how this thingamajig on my face works. [ betty mcrae, patron saint of sassing pointlessly when under duress. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	At least I'm not flipping the stupid switch anymore. [ she's making progress! it's very important that she notes that, because she figured it out on her own. even if it took a while. and was wholly embarrassing. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A most impressive display of competence. [ if he cared, he would almost be embarrassed for her. ] Is this your typical level of coordination? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm not here for blowing Toronto to Kingdom Come, so I guess it's a little better when I'm not getting put in underwater bubble jail. (Reply to this) (Parent)
