[Accidental Video]

[There is a girl on your screen. She's not doing anything particularly interesting. With her chin propped up on a hand, she's reading a book, looking a little bit cross. She's wearing a collared white shirt, too big in some places and too small in others, the wrinkled sleeves rolled up to the elbow. And she's sitting at a counter in a dim space in what's probably a store, judging by the vague shapes of shelves in the background.

Those who frequent it might recognize the shop as a certain second-hand bookstore. Whether that's enough information to work out why the young lady looks so annoyed, though, is a different matter...]

Don't worry about it; it happens to everybody. Well, not me yet, but I've heard that it happens to everybody and it'll all be over at midnight.

[He puts on his best reassuring smile.]

Midnight, or tomorrow at midnight. These sometimes last the weekend.

[It's a good change of topic, Neil likes this changing the topic thing.

So what kind of curse is it?

[Yes, it's true. He still has not connected the dots.]

[Aaaawwwwkwaaaaaard...]

...I'm not a girl.

[video]

[brokemysmolder.livejournal.com]

Then what are you?

[girls-at-welton.livejournal.com]

[How clueless can you be?]

A boy.

Re: [video]

[brokemysmolder.livejournal.com]

Oh. Right. Of course. A boy.

[long, long silence]

Wait WHAT?!?!

[video]

[girls-at-welton.livejournal.com]

You heard me.

[video]

[brokemysmolder.livejournal.com]

Wha....bu...

[silence]

Well this is awkward.

[video]

[girls-at-welton.livejournal.com]

You started it.

[video]

[brokemysmolder.livejournal.com]

Hey, don't -- You know what? There is no way to end this conversation gracefully.

[video]

[girls-at-welton.livejournal.com]

Well maybe you should think twice about how you approach strangers in the future.

[Only a little sulky.]

[video]

[brokemysmolder.livejournal.com]

If you were actually a girl, it wouldn't have been a problem!

...there aren't many more people like you, are there?

[Neil can't quite decide if he wants to go bloodlessly pale or flush, but his eyes widen and the incredulous, indignant look on his face is... well, it's something to see, that's for sure.]

What the hell kinda question is that?

[video]

[brokemysmolder.livejournal.com]

Well if there are any more girls that are actually guys, I'd like to know!

[Neil is just going to stare crossly for a moment before... click, hanging up. Sorry Flynn, Neil's not in the mood to explain right now.]

[off network]

[brokemysmolder.livejournal.com]

[Flynn stares at the screen.]

Well that was rude.
