Hi. [She waves at the camera.] Me again. Two questions:

One, does anybody know how to use a taser? If so, mind giving me some lessons? I could have asked the girl who gave it to me, but I wasn't thinking at the moment. In fact, what about self-defense classes? I get the feeling that not everything comes in peace here.

[Please don't tell her about any butt-probing horror stories.]

Two, I'm dying of boredom. No, pretending didn't work so don't ask. I didn't think I would ever say this, but I'm looking for one of the jobs here. While I am an artist, I did minor in computer science. I know how to write programs, troubleshoot, so on and so forth. [She left out the part about knowing how to hack.] There has to be some computer thing I can do on the spaceship before I lose my mind.


[Filtered to Edgeworth]

I was drunk. That's my story. The big feet thing was true, though.

Comments

video; SUP AUGGIE. YOU WERE PRETTY BA THIS WEEK

[thenormalsquint]

I do have a nibble. I haven't checked it out, but the source seems pretty trustworthy.

[She's peering at the screen, trying to figure out what's odd about this picture. Yes, it's off center and he's not exactly looking at her...]

Your device is crooked.

video; TY TY VENGEANCE SURE IS A GOOD LOOK FOR ME

[mingus]

That's pretty fantastic. Going to bite?

[ He smiles at that comment though and gives a nod, shifting a bit to at least try to get it straight. ]

And so it is. Is that a bit better?

[ Probably not too much. It's not as crooked though, at least! ]

video; WEAR IT MORE OFTEN

[thenormalsquint]

Have to. It's either than or climb the walls from boredom.

[He can probably hear her take a deep breath.]

Not really. Still crooked. [Now she's squinting harder at the image on her screen.]

video; :'D this cane was made for whacking after all

[mingus]

Agreed.

[ He frowns a bit at that. Trying again, hand covering the video for a moment as he tries to guide the camera before pulling it away and "staring" down at it. His own gaze is off to the side of the camera but otherwise it is better than before. ]

How's that?

[thenormalsquint]

[And that's when she realizes why the view was crooked in the first place. Good going, Angela. Making the blind man turn the camera he can't even see.]

Oh, I'm a jerk. I am so, so sorry.

video;

[mingus]

[ Oh no, she's feeling guilty. He-- He's going to start laughing, shaking his head a bit. ]

Oh don't apologize. I can literally hear you blaming yourself and let me tell you, that isn't a very pleasant sound.

video;

[thenormalsquint]

[You bet your ass she is.]

You know that moment when you realize that you've noticed something super important way too late? I'm having that moment right now. This is why I hate these things. So impersonal.

video;

[mingus]

[ no stop he can only be a dick in response ]

It's funny you should say that because that is exactly what I said to myself before everything went black. What a funny coincidence, huh?

video;

[thenormalsquint]

[And there's a snort of a laugh that slips out before she can stop it. Damn it.]

Fuck. No, I'm really am sorry.

video;

[mingus]

Stop apologizing. It's really not a big deal. I'm blind, yeah. My name is also August but you can call me Auggie. After all, that's what all my friends do.

video;

[thenormalsquint]

Well, now I'm apologizing because I laughed at your joke. Totally a different apology this time.

video;

[mingus]

Oh come on, I wouldn't have told it if I didn't want you to laugh. It's honestly better that way.

video;

[thenormalsquint]

Well, if you can't laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at? I'm Angela.

video;

[mingus]

Exactly! And I am a hilarious blind man, let me tell you. Nice to meet you, Angela.

video;

[thenormalsquint]

I wouldn't say hilarious, now. You've only told one joke. You have to work for the title.

video;

[mingus]

Huh! It's been a while since I've had to prove it. [ He grins. ] But I guess I can try. In fact, you won't even see it coming.

[ A beat and he frowns a little. ]

Actually, neither will I for that matter.

video;

[thenormalsquint]

That was just terrible. That doesn't even score any points. Booooo. Get off the stage!

[Yet, she is actually laughing. She likes you, Auggie.]

video;

[mingus]

[ He grins even wider! Oh, this is great. ]

Fine, fine. Put it out of sight and out of mind. -- Oh wait.

[ Oh no he's being terrible again. ]

video;

[thenormalsquint]

Eventually, you're going to run out of material.

video;

[mingus]

I highly doubt that. I have a fresh audience, after all.

video;

[thenormalsquint]

You have a limited audience, though. And then what if somebody else comes along and steals your jokes?

video;

[mingus]

I'll tell you a secret. Most of them are just wordplay.

video;

[thenormalsquint]

[A gasp.]

No way. I would have never guessed.

video;

[mingus]

Eh, don't worry. Not many people do!

[ :'D ]

[thenormalsquint]

I think you should be the on ship entertainment.
