Accidental video: The.Otter

[of_bokthersa]

[The feed starts with a very judgmental looking elf with a bunch of indecent polaroid pictures of Alec laid out in front of it. The feeling from the one accidentally showing the feed is annoyed, but also rather amused by the whole thing.]

I don’t see what reason you have to be cross about it. Firstly, Alec posed for those. Second, I don’t need to justify myself to a prudish magical doll. I’m not even sure who’s doll you are right now.

Now put them back before he comes in here and sees you’ve pulled them out.

[The speaker waves his gloved hand and turns around, making his way into the kitchen.]

[whiteroadrunning]

That's it. I'm burning them.

[of_bokthersa]

Burning what?

[He still hasn't realized this was shown.]

[whiteroadrunning]

The photos you've just broadcast to the entire Sphere, talí. They've been nothing but trouble.

[of_bokthersa]

Photos?

[Give him a moment.]

Oh, we're not burning those.

[whiteroadrunning]

I'm readying a bonfire as we speak.

[of_bokthersa]

I will not let you burn those works of art.

[whiteroadrunning]

I defy you to stop me.

[of_bokthersa]

They'll stay on my person for eternety.

[whiteroadrunning]

That will be quite a sight the next time I have your clothing off.

[of_bokthersa]

Perhaps I'll never have my clothing off again.

[Actually, he's going to make use of those lock boxes that one can't open.]

[whiteroadrunning]

Oh? Is that a fact?

[Alec sounds incredibly amused.]

[of_bokthersa]

Do you have a solution for this?

[whiteroadrunning]

Not at all, I just wonder how you'll manage it.

[of_bokthersa]

Is there something that could stop me from this goal?

[whiteroadrunning]

I'm sure I don't know.

[of_bokthersa]

You're taking off your shirt, aren't you?

[whiteroadrunning]

I'm not, I'm looking for those damned photos.

[of_bokthersa]

Well, that's no way to get them.

[There might have been some flash going off.]

[whiteroadrunning]

By the Four, Seregil. It's not bad enough to have our intimacy broadcast from our memories? How many more times must these people see my bare ass?

And why are you all right with it?

[of_bokthersa]

I think you're overreacting, tali. It's doubtful anyone even bothered to stop to notice your bare ass.

[whiteroadrunning]

[ANGRY SILENCE. Then...]

Fine. Do what you want.

[of_bokthersa]

Tali, does it mean that much to you?

[unknownmoirai]

Are yours giving you trouble?

My doll is very sweet.

Re: Video

[of_bokthersa]

They seem to believe that everything Alec and I do is 'naughty'.

Video

[unknownmoirai]

I suppose if they have to watch. I'm not sure many people would like that and I don't know about these dolls but they seem to be people.

I offered my elf cookies. Would you like cookies for yours?

Re: Video

[of_bokthersa]

I'm not sure that would stop it from doing anything to make Alec cross with me. It's determined to put a rift in our relationship.

[That's right Seregil, blame the doll for your not understanding Alec's woes.]

Video

[unknownmoirai]

I am sorry to hear that. I hope Alec is alright.

Perhaps I could take your elves for a time, even if it's only for you and Alec to have a moment together?

[She'd set up a tea party for all three elves.]

Re: Video

[of_bokthersa]

That would be lovely if it works.

Video

[unknownmoirai]

I think it's worth a try.

Even if it doesn't work, that just means we have to try something else.

[She's always positive.]

Re: Video

[of_bokthersa]

You're right, of course.

Video

[unknownmoirai]

Good.

[She smiles.]

I will see you tonight then.

[She has cookies to bake.]
