003 - Clothes?

[captainshort]

Well, today's certainly interesting.

I take it this is one of those curses I've been warned about? It's not too horrible, actually. In a sense, it's rather amusing; so do ignore me while I chortle away on the sidelines. People are just talking like Juliet a little strangely, but thank Frond I've been skipped, nonetheless. I have no idea what I'd

The mental image of you in clothes too big for you is really amusing.

[captainshort]

I'm sure it is. I'd be swimming in them. I'd disappear in a pile of fabric and no one would know where I've gotten to!

[redcrossboy]

I'd come into the apartment after a day at the hospital and I wouldn't be able to find you. And then I'd wonder what clothes are doing in the middle of the floor, and probably leave the apartment to ask Artemis if he'd seen you.

That, or an odd pile of clothes would just start to move towards you. Just this shifty little pile, you know, and it'd crawl. Or look like it was crawling.

But my uniform's just a bit too odd to wear around here.

[captainshort]

You know Artemis?

[redcrossboy]

If a pile of clothes started moving towards me, I wouldn't know what to do. Maybe I'll put it in the laundry.

Yes, I know Artemis. He introduced himself to me when he found out I knew you. He's the genius boy.

[captainshort]

You put me in the laundry, Gene, and I'll... erm. Take your scissors chocolate. Or something.

Ha, yes. The genius boy. The criminal mastermind. He's not too shabby, once you get to know him.

Oh no, Holly, not the chocolate! Anything but that!

[redcrossboy]

...Criminal mastermind?

[captainshort]

...oh. Did I say -- ?

He isn't anymore. When he was younger, he was. Ignore it.

[redcrossboy]

...If you say so.

[captainshort]

It's not that, really. He's done a few things before that -- well, it's all in the past now.

He's a decent person, Gene. All he had to do was figure out where to put all that intelligence to good use.
