SIX ✖ VIDEO

[Anyone viewing the hologram will notice Charles looks a lot less... well dressed and put together than usual. While he isn't really rocking the Goth chic of some of the other inhabitants, this general ensemble isn't something you'll ever see him wearing back on the Barge. He's also standing up, because this counterpart swapped out his damaged spine for a new one, and is currently working off the debt by being a Repo Man who is pretty chill about his job and is partnered up with his bff Erik.

He smiles a bit, seeming fairly normal and casual about the whole thing, and clearly not bothered about the environment or oh god, someone is coming after my organs thing.]


Bit strange, isn't it? Everyone says they know what they're getting themselves into when they sign the contract initially, but as soon as the deadline on payment approaches, it becomes "I don't remember" and "you must be wrong", "this can't be happening". [He laughs a little flatly, somewhere between a little amused and disbelieving.]

What else were they expecting, honestly? You don't find quality goods lying around in the street. And I have it on good authority we're doing our best to accommodate for everyone's needs.

Perhaps people should be sure they understand what they're signing before going under the knife.

[He finishes the recording by humming a few bars of the GeneCo jingle, which - if you strain your ears a bit - is playing distantly in the background on his end before the feed cuts.]

Your records are wrong!
unreservedly: (No power in the 'verse can stop me.)

[personal profile] unreservedly 2012-02-25 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sure. How did you come across eyes like that, then?

[personal profile] hourglass_twin 2012-02-25 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
Not by choice. They are a curse, but they are my eyes. They have no properties that anyone would desire.
unreservedly: (you just grinned)

[personal profile] unreservedly 2012-02-25 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sure someone would be happy to pay for them.

Oh, I doubt that. They see time as it effects all things. They see only death, no beauty, no life. They see people age and whither and die, and they see the corpse you will one day be. To be honest, I'd prefer it if my eyes weren't like this.
unreservedly: (and they made you kneel)

Then we shouldn't have much of a problem now, should we?

Of course, even if the records are wrong, you could always trade them out for something more suitable.

And would I have the same deadline as I apparently have for these, or would I have more time? And what about lungs? I'd need a week, at least, and this has only given me a day.
unreservedly: (you just grinned)

Then I'm afraid you're in a bit of a bind.
hourglass_twin: (Default)

[personal profile] hourglass_twin 2012-02-25 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
You expect me to pay for eyes that no one will want and you did nothing to provide me?
unreservedly: (well they tore you down)

[personal profile] unreservedly 2012-02-25 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
I'm afraid I don't make the rules.
