[Accidental Video]

[whatwas]

[The PCD is set on a bedside table, so nothing is really the center of focus. The part of the window in view is carefully boarded up, and the bed is large and clean. And occupied.

Horst wakes the moment the sun is gone, just a twitch of the fingers at first and then a groggy mumble. He rolls onto his side, instinctively moving towards warmth. Yuca is next to him, though very much awake; the PCD can't see much of him at first, though.

Horst's arm snakes around Yuca's waist and pulls him closer.]

Hey. Fancy meeting you here.

...House is quiet. What'd you do with the kids?

[He sees the blinking light, makes a face, and turns the PCD off]

Father is intelligent enough to suit himself.

[law-of-reason.livejournal.com]

Which is worth nothing to the rest of us with more than half a brain.

[exarmatio]

It's worth a lot to me! And it's worth a lot to mother, too!

[law-of-reason.livejournal.com]

Your mother needs rebuilt so he has better tastes.

Your father is beyond salvaging.

[exarmatio]

They're fine the way they are.

[law-of-reason.livejournal.com]

They're not exactly raising you properly.

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

We're raising him just fine. Not an experiment to be had on any of them.

[law-of-reason.livejournal.com]

That's proof enough. Not that much could be done with your filthy half-breeds, but they have more potential than you, at least.

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

Half-breeds?

[Horst isn't violent by nature, but he wants to pull your face off and turn it into a lamp shade now.]

[law-of-reason.livejournal.com]

I'm surprised you're even viable.

[Oh, try, he'd love the excuse to cut you into parts.]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

It's a miracle. Praise God.

[law-of-reason.livejournal.com]

It's unfortunate consequences.

Don't think it won't be rectified someday.

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

Is that a threat, Dad?

[law-of-reason.livejournal.com]

It's something to remember.

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

Why don't you tell me how it's going to be rectified then. So I don't forget.

[law-of-reason.livejournal.com]

You should visit, then, so I can demonstrate.

[exarmatio]

They're raising me just fine.

[law-of-reason.livejournal.com]

You haven't even been taken apart yet, have you?

[exarmatio]

I don't need to be. Just because it's something you do doesn't mean anyone else does.

[law-of-reason.livejournal.com]

It's a failure on their part. You could only be improved by it.

[exarmatio]

I'm fine the way I am. I don't need to be improved.

[law-of-reason.livejournal.com]

You're too young to have an opinion.

[exarmatio]

That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

[law-of-reason.livejournal.com]

Your parents should teach their animals better manners.

[exarmatio]

I've bloody well been well-mannered this entire time. Maybe your parents should have taught you some respect.
