[ the view is obscured by an exhale of cigarette smoke, until jenny lifts a hand to wave it away. the gesture is unremarkable, except it's irritable somehow. the camera is sitting on her bedside table, angled a bit carelessly, because when she moves away from it, she doesn't seem to care if her face shows or not-- but she's visible from the middle down, pacing and smoking. ]

Hey.

Has anyone seen Julian Keller?

[ another exhale of smoke. then she moves to sit on the cot. ]

He sent me something. So I just wanna know if anyone's fucking seen him or not.

[ she lifts a hand to run through her hair. it's getting long now. but she's quiet. quiet for a while. then irritably, she flicks her cigarette to floor and grinds it out. hard. ]

Happy fucking holidays.

[ then she turns the feed off. ]

What medium works best for you? I'd prefer an initial meeting in person, of course, but any following interviews can suit your preference. On the phone, over the Network, at my office -- what have you.

[centurybaby]

I'm a war criminal, Doc. That means bars. You're gonna have to come to me.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Mmh.

[WHAT, HE CAN'T HAVE WAR CRIMINALS TRANSPORTED TO HIM? Chilton makes an indignant note to take to Norman about that, and he includes (not one, but) THREE exclamations points!!!]

Fair enough. I don't want to step on any toes, with regards to your detainment, so I suppose I'll have to work through those authorities before I can access you.

[Oh he does not like that.]

[centurybaby]

Hey. You don't like it? You get me fucking transferred, or whatever the hell it is paper pushers like you do.

[slightlyoffchilt]

First, I don't push papers. I write them. Secondly -- [A beat.] Depending on your psychological assessment, which I'm shocked has yet to happen, maybe you qualify for a transfer...

[centurybaby]

Why, you think I'm crazy?

[slightlyoffchilt]

I wouldn't be so hasty as to label anyone as "crazy". You might have antisocial personality disorder, narcissistic personality disorder, and a martyr complex, yes.

[centurybaby]

And what the fuck is that supposed to mean?

[slightlyoffchilt]

It means that you're a worthy cause to examine.

[centurybaby]

[ no answer for a long minute or so, then: ]

Fine. I wanna be transferred. How do we make it happen?

[slightlyoffchilt]

I'll discuss the matter with the administrator. [Confidently:] I think we can make appropriate accommodation, if you submit to a psychiatric examination.

[centurybaby]

You wanna analyze me? Be my fucking guest.
