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.]

Could mean we've got it all figured out.
unreservedly: (Sometimes I wonder why I even bother.)

[personal profile] unreservedly 2012-02-25 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
Well. Congratulations to us, I suppose.

Still don't know what we've got figured out, though.
unreservedly: (and they tore out your tongue)

[personal profile] unreservedly 2012-02-25 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
That we're all foolish.

... we're all nuts.

[personal profile] unreservedly 2012-02-25 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
Exactly.

Hello, Regina.
fuglyslut: (teehee)

[personal profile] fuglyslut 2012-02-25 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
Hi, Charles! How's this little strategy working out for you?
unreservedly: (Also I can kill you with my brain.)

[personal profile] unreservedly 2012-02-25 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
Which strategy is that?
fuglyslut: (satisfied)

[personal profile] fuglyslut 2012-02-25 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
The "tell freaking everyone your business" strategy. I mean, I don't care as long as you don't jack it up for us, I'm just wondering.
unreservedly: (you just grinned)

[personal profile] unreservedly 2012-02-25 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
Things are lovely. Thank you for asking.

You've got to think different to work here, right?
fuglyslut: (satisfied)

[personal profile] fuglyslut 2012-02-25 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
Different, better... [What's the difference, really?]

Madness is an inability to function within the framework of society, I think on the contrary, that those who work for Geneco are the ultra-sane.

In other words, we are those who function better than the rest of society.

But there's a lot you can still do, even if you're crazy.

I disagree! Mental illness is only identifiable in that it estranges you from being a functional member of society. If you are a happy, functional member of society, then you are not mentally ill.

In other words, Friend, you're only crazy if you struggle to do your job.
