breakmychest[The camera turns on to reveal a frail-looking old woman in Victorian garb. She seems rather confused by the contraption, but she does understand how it works thanks to the general Barge run-down she's received. When she notices that it's recording, she smiles and sits back. She's on a beaten up looking couch and trying to look as if she's not uncomfortable with how old it looks, or how very modern the room is. She partially succeeds.]
Hello, I am Mrs. Anne Pratt. I hear my son William is a Warden here. [She frowns for a moment.] Though I can hardly believe this is his room. He seems to have... adjusted. [Her face smooths over, and she smiles again.] I'm very proud of him, even if I--
[She stops and coughs into a handkerchief for several seconds.] Excuse me. [She sips from a glass of water, then continues.]
It's not the direction I'd have expected, but I am certain he's doing good work.
[She smiles again, then turns off the camera.]

Date: 2011-05-07 09:32 pm (UTC)She looks a bit surprised about the question.]
Why, 1880, of course. Though I suppose that isn't true of everyone?

Date: 2011-05-07 09:42 pm (UTC)No, in fact I myself am from 1897, but most people are from much further in the future.
[George is just pleased to be from at all in the future for once.]

Date: 2011-05-10 06:26 am (UTC)...he does all he can, all anyone can, but I really wouldn't want to worry anyone unnecessarily. I've had a long, happy life already.
Re: Private
Date: 2011-05-10 08:03 pm (UTC)Yes, but I'd rather see if there was anything we could do...

Date: 2011-05-08 05:38 am (UTC)S--sorry. Uhm... ma'am. I just--just was really surprised. I know your son. Spi--uhh, William. [He says the name sort of weird, kind of carefully. Andrew's never called Spike that before and it feels strange.]

no subject
Date: 2011-05-08 05:51 am (UTC)Yeah! Yeah, we're friends. Spike--William's real cool. He's always got my back and stuff. We--we've even saved each other's lives a couple times, too! We're totally best friends.
[In his defense, this isn't necessarily a lie in Andrew's eyes.]

Date: 2011-05-08 06:02 am (UTC)Oh, my, is this place that dangerous, then?

Date: 2011-05-08 08:42 am (UTC)[Somewhere, Spike is considering staking himself.]
no subject
Date: 2011-05-08 05:14 pm (UTC)Like, uh, there's stuff in... your future. That's when I meet Sp--William. [That is HARD.] I'm from the future, basically!
