9 . VIDEO & ACTION TO THOSE WHO WANT IT

[medials]

[This icon has never been so appropriate.]

Well. I suppose it's meant to make sense that I spent three years without so much as a hint that I'd been here before.

Is the headache normal? I think it's all those memories coming back. [Wasn't he a woman once? And... who knows what else. Let's not think about it.] Or probably the fact that I landed face-first in a fountain.

At least I won't be asking anyone for a trip to hospital this time.

[Pause. He sounds like he's mostly talking to himself, but he really hopes there's someone out there listening.]

Can't believe this is still here. It looks like nothing's changed.

[Anyway.]

I need a drink.

[Feel free to take him out for one. Or just join him wherever you find him.]

[...She totally doesn't even look up from her paperwork...]

Welcome back.

[medials]

Marie.

[Oh, look. He remembers her name. Huh.]

Vous... n'avez pas changé un peu.

[eiremagic]

I'll buy you a drink, boyo.

[mortemscintilla]

...Maybe you should see a doctor anyway? Landing face-first in a fountain can't be good for anyone.

[ Hi Peter hi :3 ]

[medials]

Why does everyone look young but me?

I'm drying up by the fountain, if you'd like to join me.

[medials]

Maybe I've been cursed to feel strangely well, despite everything.

Hello.

[eiremagic]

Because you're old, that's why.

[medials]

Rub it in my face, will you.

And remind me not to invite you to my birthday party.

[eiremagic]

I will, then.

You'll do it, I'll bake your cake, yeah?

[medials]

Yeah? What's my favorite flavor?

[mortemscintilla]

That's not the same as actually being well.

Welcome back. I should say I'm glad to see you, but, um... I wouldn't want to wish this place upon anyone.

[eiremagic]

Red velvet.

[medials]

Oh, no, please do tell me you're glad to see me. It might make this whole ordeal seem a little less - [er. He's struggling to find the right word.] You know.

[medials]

Wrong.

Isn't that more of an American flavor, anyhow?

[prosopopoeia]

Je n'ai pas remarqué que vous étiez parti.

[Which is an answer more than an insult....]

[eiremagic]

I cook for Americans, boyo.

[hexuality]

Peter. Doing alright?

[medials]

With a mild headache, but quite all right thank you. Unless feeling self-conscious counts.

[medials]

Think more half-English, half-French.

[medials]

Moi non plus, honnêtement.

[eiremagic]

I'm not making any fucking pavlova.

[medials]

[There's a light laugh.]

Chocolate will do.

[eiremagic]

Acceptable.

[medials]

So how's about that drink.

[eiremagic]

You remember where the hospital is? We can go to the Blue Light after I finish work.
