[video] punch and judy

[maddest]

[Xerxes Break is combing tangles out of his little doll's hair when the whirr of the PCD alerts him to the fact that it's been turned on. The doll pipes up right away, in her irritating falsetto;]

Ow ow owowowow stop pulling!

I wouldn't have to pull if you hadn't let yourself get this tangled, Miss Emily.

[The ventriloquism is perfect. She continues;]

Help! Please! If someone on the network can hear meeee-

Don't be silly, Miss Emily, you couldn't live with anyone else. None of them would have the patience to put up with your temper or the insults you like to hurl.

[Hanna is nodding because yes, you, freaky little doll. What's funny is that he's totally serious.]

You can't just go possessing peoples stuff! Though...

[He wasn't sure why a grown man had a doll in the first place.]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

She isn't possessed.

[magicxmarker.livejournal.com]

....

[He could have said so in the first place.]

it isn't?

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Of course not.

[magicxmarker.livejournal.com]

[Now Hanna is kind of disappointed, because he was kind of excited for getting his hands on a possessed doll.]

You could have told me!

[He feels kind of stupid now too.]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

I did!

[magicxmarker.livejournal.com]

...

[Maybe he wasn't paying attention?]

You did?

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

She isn't possessed, she's Emily.

[magicxmarker.livejournal.com]

And Emily is a talking doll?

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Is there something wrong with that?

[magicxmarker.livejournal.com]

...

Yes?

[Because the way he says it, its like, there really isn't something wrong with it.]

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

Of course not.

[magicxmarker.livejournal.com]

But, how is it talking then?

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

With her mouth.

[magicxmarker.livejournal.com]

[Hanna is staring at the doll rather intensely now.]

Its mouth doesn't move.

[mister-hatter.livejournal.com]

And?

[magicxmarker.livejournal.com]

So how can it talk!?
