[Accidental video. This happens to him a lot. He's not good with tech.]
[He's walking up the street, the camera of his Comm obscured occasionally by the pocket of his shirt, but managing to poke up none the less. He stops suddenly in front of a florist's shop, like he's just been struck by lightning.]
[He stands there for a long, long time. He's staring at a spray of purple flowers in the front of the window.]
[Then the camera goes black for a moment, but there's still sound. He's entered the shop and is purchasing some flowers, apparently.]
[When the video clears again, he's tucked a sprig of lilac into his shirt's pocket's buttonhole, right in front of the camera. The world is now blurry with lavender, seen through the petals of the flowers. Everything goes unreal and indistinct as he continues his walk back to the police station.]
[...And the video just keeps going, and going. He doesn't know the Comm is even on to end the transmission. ...But then everything goes even further fuzzy and indistinct...and just as he walks into the downtown headquarters, there's strange little shimmery lights around lilac. And then both Comm and lilac drop to the floor, because Sam Vimes isn't there to hold them up anymore. He's been de-'Ported.]
[End transmission.]
((HURR full hiatus for Vimes, but this is not a drop. He'll be back.))
