Case 219 [Accidental Video]

[manofgnee]

[Poor Hanna. He looks tired as he sits on his couch, gently rocking what appears to be a small throw pillow shaped like a dinosaur in his arms, humming to it quietly. Of note is the fact that the dino pillow is wearing a poorly wrapped diaper.]

That's it, Trevor, that's a good boy...rock a bye, baby, on the tree tops...

[He closes his eyes and smiles, continuing to sing lullabies to the pillow. After a while, he sighs happily, getting up and moving out of the room.]

Finally...g'nite, kiddo...Daddy loves you...

[ooc: Poor, poor Hanna. Curse is It’s a Boat, it’s a Bug, it’s Ours, and for the weekend, his Godzilla throw pillow is his son Trevor. :|)

[ ................

is this guy seriously talking to his pillow? ]

You....

[ and that's all Elliot can manage for the moment, alas. ]

[manofgnee]

Sssh, I just got Trevor to go to sleep...!

[forhishonor]

The pillow has a name?!

[ no, he will not be quiet. ]

[manofgnee]

He's my son, and his name is Trevor.

[forhishonor]

'He' is a damn pillow! And Trevor is a crappy name.

[manofgnee]

He is my son, and Trevor is a perfectly good name!

[forhishonor]

It sounds like some kind of frog!

And if he's your son, where's his mother?

[manofgnee]

Does it matter where she is? The important thing is he's got somebody who loves him!

And he's not a frog!

[forhishonor]

You can't have a family without both parents!

[ though he knows from personal experience that even having both parents isn't enough sometimes. ]

Then how come he's shaped all funny?!

[manofgnee]

Yes you can, that's a bunch of crap!

He's not shaped funny!!

orz I'm sorry for the late tag

[forhishonor]

If he's not shaped funny, then you must be blind! He's even weird colors! Is he sick or something?

xD it's okay. I am enjoying this so much. :D

[manofgnee]

Stop insulting my son, he's not sick, and he's not shaped funny!!

I'm also sorry Elliot is a stupid jerk. OTL

[forhishonor]

[ sadly, no one has explained the concept of curses to Elliot. :( ]

I'm not insulting anyone, I'm pointing out the truth! Maybe I should be asking if you're sick!

:D Again, it's okay. Hanna knows some real jerks.

[manofgnee]

[Hanna has yet to realize it. He'll apologize after it wears off.]

I'm not sick!

[forhishonor]

Then maybe you should get your glasses checked! When was the last time you got a new pair, anyway?

[manofgnee]

...not recently.

[deadly_legacy]

...Hanna, you get the strangest curses.

[manofgnee]

Oh, hi, Euphie!

[deadly_legacy]

How are you?

[manofgnee]

Good, good...Just got Trevor to go down for his nap.

[deadly_legacy]

Yes, I see that...

Is he sleeping well?

[manofgnee]

Better now. You know how kids are.

[deadly_legacy]

I'm not certain I do. [Or that you do.]

I'm glad thing are...going well though.

[manofgnee]

Well, they're tough. Never want to sleep when they're supposed to.

They're great!

[deadly_legacy]

I'm glad you think so, Hanna...

[She wonders why you always get curses with "family."]

Get some rest yourself, all right?

[manofgnee]

I'll get some rest...I think I need it.

[He laughs. The City clearly wants him to have a family.]

[deadly_legacy]

Good. I"ll...talk to you again soon, Hanna.

[manofgnee]

I'll talk to you soon, Euphie.

[binarysky]

Uh....Hanna?

What are you doing?

[manofgnee]

Putting Trevor down for his nap.

[binarysky]

You named your pillow?

[manofgnee]

I named my son.

[binarysky]

Your pillow is your son?

[manofgnee]

Yeah, Trevor. You know Trevor...

[It's not a pillow to him.]

[binarysky]

I do?

[Oh, geez, this must be a curse.]

...right. I do. I know Trevor.

[manofgnee]

I just got him down for his nap.

[binarysky]

Is he...sleeping well?

[This is really hard to play along with. It's a pillow.

[manofgnee]

Yes, finally...took him forever to go down, though.

[binarysky]

He probably want to, uh. Stay up and play with you. Or something.

[manofgnee]

Probably. He's a great kid.

Course, I'm a bit biased.

[binarysky]

Yeah, just a little. I bet he'll stay asleep now, though. [Cuz. Pillow.]

[manofgnee]

I hope so.
