[video] punch and judy
Apr. 11th, 2011 07:52 pm[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.

Date: 2011-04-17 12:55 am (UTC)But an honest one now? And I'd nearly given up on you after our chat over Yuca.

Date: 2011-04-17 01:06 am (UTC)[But he's pretty sure that Break wasn't lying--or if he was, it was half-truth. And that, he realizes, is why he's here in Break's kitchen drinking tea.
He makes a low sound that's somewhere between disgust and admiration.]
You don't have much to lose, do you? And you aren't afraid of losing what you do have.
Or so you think.

Date: 2011-04-17 01:11 am (UTC)It's irritating that he can still feel disappointed after all this time. Down to business...]
Even if you could, why would you?

About this...poker game.

Date: 2011-04-17 01:36 am (UTC)I'll be there and you're playing something besides poker. Two strikes against you, Xerxes.

But he hates me more than you think.
