Sketchy Sunday 23
What did I tell you people about reminding me not to do anything insanely detailed again?!?
Ok, so it's not just as detailed as week 18, but yeah. I am partially blaming this on the radio station in work, which seems to play John Legend's "All of Me" on a constant loop (as if work isn't depressing enough). The song itself is not responsible for the story-idea behind this sketch - that was already running around my head - but it fed into it.
So, yeah, background: these two are actually married - except she doesn't remember that because her memories got wiped by Mr Frowny-Face at the table over there, who wanted revenge for the fact that she's responsible for missing memories of his own. And it's no good trying to tell her about it, because she cannot retain the information; it just runs out of her head like water. As far as she's concerned, they're friends and colleagues and nothing more. To make matters worse, her memories were stolen the day after they got married, so they've only had one night together. ANGST!!!
(Mr Frowny-Face is in custody, btw; he's actually wearing handcuffs and the second guy at the table is his guard/probation officer. This scene is from a number of years down the line.)
I am aware that their joined hands are weird. Honestly, you'd think it would be easy to find a reference of a pirouetting couple! There is nothing; NOTHING!!!! Lots of dancers pirouetting on their own, but nothing of two people together D:< So I had to make it up, which led to lots of erasing, which led to the paper getting worn away and I had to put a piece of sticky label over it :( Also, Anonymous Husband has clown feet and his expression is... just not quite right. I had it better, but it was so very smudged and I was trying to clean it up and it went wrong :( And her kicked-off shoes look too small for her feet, and yeah, now I'm done, all I can see is the stuff that's wrong with it... Bah!!
