Case #34: Video

[19centconstable]

[Queen Victoria sits primly in George's room.

No, she doesn't look amused.

But wait: how does Queen Victoria know how to operate a video communicator?

...

Bitch, please.]

And what is the purpose of our being here today?

[Squeak!]

[Quick deep curtsy even if she is dressed like an Eastender pub girl.]

I-I-'aven't sorted that out myself yet, Your Majesty, though I've got the pub in order!

[19centconstable]

[Your curtsy gets a queenly nod.]

We do applaud your industriousness.

[can_has_vodka]

[She perks up]

They've got many exotic things here, Your Majesty. Six kinds of coffee, ten kinds of beer, all sorts of teas. I won't ask you down the public house if you find it inappropriate, but I could bring some refreshment to your door...

[19centconstable]

Nonsense. We will seccure an escort and attend.

[Very basic knowledge of the concept of monarchy + almost no knowledge of history= angry Jane.]

That's George's room?

Why are you in George's room?

[19centconstable]

That is precisely what we are trying to ascertain, young lady.

[thebestnose]

Well, I don't know the purpose! And I don't know anyone who does!

Unless it's this tauping flood!

[19centconstable]

We are willing to wait until you have become better informed on the situation.

[expectremorse]

You are not the only one who wishes to know these things.

[So sayeth the spartan in his...spartan armor.]

[19centconstable]

[How very nude of you to say, sir.]

We see. So we may assume this is not to be another attempt on our life? They do become so tiresome.

[expectremorse]

Attempt on your life? [You're old, you're heavyset, and you are richly dressed. Therefore you are a person of importance.] It is magic beset upon us by the gods.

[19centconstable]

They do persist.

[Queen V is bored now.]

Or perhaps science.

[Gods can beset with that too.]

[hourglass_twin]

What is the purpose of being anywhere?

[19centconstable]

[Queenly side-eye.]

Quite.

...idek

[likeprofesional]

[Have a respectable smile from a respectable gentleman.]

Having trouble, ma'am?

no one eks

[19centconstable]

[How respectable of you.]

I am afraid we have yet to receive an answer to our query.
