001 [VIDEO]

[Hey, it's a THUMB.

No, wait, it's a ginger dude who has his thumb over the phone camera, but he seems to realize his mistake soon enough. He gets a little too up close and personal with the feed before pulling back, all terrible plaid and a disingenuous grin that looks like it froze on his face a little bit.

Good news!

[He is also apparently very, very British.]

Did some preliminary diagnostics, ran a few tests. [Finger wiggles for emphasis!] Pretty sure that this is not, in fact, an incredibly sophisticated government surveillance mechanism.

I know, I know, that's what I thought too! But I'm probably...sixty to seventy percent certain we're all right on that front, which is good, because for a while there I was thinking this was textbook government. You know, set up some kind of...secret diary forum, or something, give us secret access codes to make us feel important, then mine all our secret diary posts for their secret...government...things.

Anyway, point is, I'd like to revoke my membership. And it's--it's nothing you lot did, don't worry, I'm sure you're all--you're all great! Lovely folks, super club you've got, sure of it, just...not entirely comfortable with the concept. I mean--ha, it's like, uh. With the numbers and the...it's not for me, sorry. Sort of weird!

Pretty smart, though. Wish I'd thought of it.

[Wheatley laughs abruptly, genuinely uncomfortable before it and the nervous grin dissolve entirely.]

Seriously, though, who are you people? Because if you--if you are the government, I'm definitely out of here. No offense.

Well, yeah. But then there's those sci-fi movies.

...What?

You know, the government sends sleeper agents who think they're regular people, until their real memories come back.

Oh yeah! I liked that movie!

As far as we know!

Actually, I don't think I wanna think too much about that. From what we've seen so far, I think that could lead to an identity crisis or something.

Oh... good point!

So! No, we're not government!

But we own an antiques store!

A really nice antiques store!

That's a... That's a good question.

We have that triangle-shaped door...

There was that one cat painting, where all the cats are dressed as people, walking around humans.

[They both visibly shiver, and add a quiet "glad we eventually sold that one."]

Oh! And the Rube-Goldberg device-thing!

[They flip the feed around to show a giant... thing in the center of the room. It's hard to make out, but there's a definite pattern of gears, slides, and such. There's also a confused customer staring at them, but ignore that guy.

The camera flips back around.

So yeah! That's the strangest one!

Well. Ah.

We don't... actually. Know.

But it looks neat! And if anyone buys it, we'll make a killing!

We're not exactly sure where it starts

Or ends.

Or if there's an on switch.
originaloddcouple: (Huh)

[personal profile] originaloddcouple 2013-09-22 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
We have.

Repeatedly.

We don't even know if it's on the right side.
