[ ZOOM IN. INT: THE SHIP. There’s something not so dark about the video feed, actually, but it does feature only the back of a chair. Slowly, s l o w l y, it turns around--
And it’s Veronica, with one hand petting an imaginary cat and one twirling an incredibly imaginary moustache. ]
I’ve been expecting you, Tranquility.
[ Too much? Veronica grins, the screen shaking a little as she reaches to pick up the communicator. There’s a whine from somewhere in the background -- definitely doggylike, definitely her dog, since there’s a brown-fur head that bats gently into her other hand that no longer is preoccupied with villanious imaginary pencil moustaches. ]
But seriously folks. Hi, I’m Veronica. I might make this announcement again, but for now, there are a lot of floors and not a lot of security folks. Trust me-- I’ve done the math, crunched the numbers, and sooner or later we’re all going to be putting pig heads on spikes.
[ Out of the corner of the screen, Backup, her dog, apparently seems to be content to chew mildly on her fingers. Veronica…. looks a little disgusted, but love is love, and her nose wrinkles then un-wrinkles in distaste. ]
If you want to make yourself useful, consider this, me, Veronica, poaching you, the citizens of the Tranquility, to change departments and sign up for Security.
[ Sing-song: ]
We have Tyke!
[ One hand -- the hand not currently getting chewed on lovingly -- makes a tiny little paw and claws. ]
Very grr, arrgh.
You’ll love it, I promise.

Do I sign up with you, then?
[Okay he's convinced.
No he was convinced before.]
But what do you mean, putting pig heads on spikes?
no subject
[ Too chipper? Yeah, probably. Veronica makes a motion with her hand, rocking it this way and that in the universal motion for so-so. ]
It's a reference. Literary. You should talk with Edgeworth or Tyke-- I'm just the recruitment poster. Tyke's usually the one who carries out the assessments.

I say stick with the growling noises, they're your best hook by far. I could feel the enthusiasm all the way from this side of the comm...

[ Point. ]
Good with the growling. Unfortunately, I'm only a part-timer, which is why you should join up.

[ Veronica puts her hands together and claps rapidly, which is equal parts put-upon enthusiasm and makes her look a little like a blonde in a hamster ball. ]
Thank you, thank you, I'll be here til Thursday! And-- [ Miming a motion in-front of her face the way mimes do before their expressions change. --scene.

You do make a very compelling argument. [ Said with some humor, though not enough for it to be disrespectful. ]
I have spoken to Lady Tyke myself about joining, so for my part there is no need to carry animal heads on spikes - whatever it is that such an action even means.

It's a, uh. Scholarly reference. From a book. Written by-- You know what, that's completely redundant. Um. Hi, Lady...

He also doesn't seem to have a clue about most of what was said as a result, but the word 'security' stood out and he's having a chuckle at the invisible mustache twirling.]What does it involve? Fighting anyone who tries to pick a fight with someone else? [Because he can do that. That rates up there amongst his favourite things to do in the whole world.]

It can do!
[ Chipper. Hey, man, it's security bidness, not friend bidness. ]
