[accidental video/optional action] let the organ-grinder go

[bedsidemanners]

[The feed opens onto... Raphael's bedroom, which at present has clothes and towels strewn around the floor. And, well, possibly a lab coat. And a nurse's cap.]

[There's a slim, pretty blonde only under half the covers, one arm lazily looped over a brunette's waist. Both are naked. The blonde shifts, starting to elbow the brunette in the ribs, mumbling softly--]

'S morning. Come on.

[There's a grumbling noise but not a lot of movement. Another shove.]

I have work in another--

[The brunette sits up grudgingly at the words, eyes widening as she stares at the other--]

[And then she starts screaming, prompting Raphael to offer up a rather annoyed, hateful look before glancing down... ]

[... and yanking the covers clear up to his neck as the arguing commences.]

--Shit, not a-- look, I'm not usually like this-- oh, damn it, just get dressed-- I'm sorry you didn't bring anything else to wear, no, I'll explain later--

[Or never at all, as the brunette, now at least wearing a bra and boyshorts, hurls a rather skimpy nurse's outfit in Raphael's direction, along with the cap for good measure, before snatching his lab coat and throwing it on. He's not protesting, either, fumbling to try and help her. She's long since off-camera by the time the clacking of her heels is heard, and the door slams. Raphael slumps back on the bed then, biting his lip, face-- surprisingly-- very red.]

[For a second he looks as though he might just curl back up under the covers, but then he sees the blinking red light of the device.]

... God.

[... Raphael raises a hand and the device's lens shatters a second before the feed goes black.]

(OOC: Sexswap. ... Backdated slightly to this morning. Raphael can best be found sulking in his room but will likely skulk around trying to buy clothes in the shops if you really want action there. Since he's only slightly short on clothes.)

[clenching covers]

Oh, you can go straight back to hell.

[sympathyforme]

Oh, come on. Everyone's thinking it.

As if you won't look at the recording later.

[bedsidemanners]

You don't know the half of it.

[sympathyforme]

Do tell.

[bedsidemanners]

I'd think you've got enough on your plate without worrying about me.

[sympathyforme]

Try me.

[bedsidemanners]

Well, there's always that broadcast of his to attend to. I don't doubt the fallout there.

[sympathyforme]

And what do you think the fallout will be? I do hope crosses will burn, I like that one.

[bedsidemanners]

That's up to how much you reassure him, isn't it?

video | filtered;

[sympathyforme]

He trusts me.

video | filtered;

[bedsidemanners]

He only trusts you because he's convinced himself there's a difference between you.

video | filtered;

[sympathyforme]

Is there a difference between him and her?

video | filtered;

[bedsidemanners]

Why don't you ask yourself that?

video | filtered;

[sympathyforme]

I don't need to. I know.

I asked you.

[bedsidemanners]

It's the same soul. That's enough.

[sympathyforme]

Enough to be damned and suffer forever?

[bedsidemanners]

Now there's no pinning the blame for that one on me.

video | filtered;

[sympathyforme]

Oh, of course not.

Do remind me, when was the last time you've ever done anything?

When will the first time be?

[excuse him if he's shoved the device under a pillow so he could get dressed before answering]

[but he's back, in a strappy sundress, after a minute or two]

If you were really expecting me to side with Alexiel there, you've misunderstood me greatly.

[sympathyforme]

You really enjoy taking my words and twisting them until you can find a meaning you disagree with, don't you?

At least you have a nice cleavage.

[bedsidemanners]

I'm afraid I'm not nearly as good at it as you're purported to be.

Shut up.

video | filtered;

[sympathyforme]

You're like a leaf in the wind you supposedly control. You lost your spine, you know when, and the only thing holding you up is him.

I don't need to twist. The truth is sharp enough.

[bedsidemanners]

I lost nothing.

[sympathyforme]

Huh.

You're the worse liar, after all.

[bedsidemanners]

Nothing but naivety.

It takes more nerve to stay in a society that despises you than it does to fall.
