[See Kate.

See Kate standing behind the cash register at Juanes. See Kate completely bored out of her mind and possibly loving every minute of it.]

So, this is what it's like to get a job that doesn't keep your dad up and worrying all night. I could get used to this.

[Subconsciously, she starts playing with her necklace - a ring on a chain. She twirls it between her fingers.]

This trend of weird stuff turning up from our homes... Is this a usual thing?


{ooc: Feel free to respond over the device or come bug Kate at work! \o/}

[ The video turns on in what appears to be the middle of an argument between the Rudys, the camera filming from a bed and from the side of an old purple shoe box, a few of the contents of which can be seen, a few bits of ribbon, a couple little trinkets, and a photo of a pretty girl in a boonie cap can be seen in the shot, resting against the side of the box. ]

Look, man! I thought we were over this! Done with it! The fuck you go and bring all this shit home for?

It wasn't my fault! I just- I-I found it, yeah? Didn't want anyone else gettin' their hands on it. God knows what they'd have done to it!

Yeah, but that's the point, man! We're over it! Over her! Done with it! She's gone, and it doesn't matter anymore, all right? Jesus Christ.

[ Rudy comes and sits on the bed, making the camera bounce a little. Other Rudy follows him, shifting awkwardly and looking at the photo in his hand. ]

Yeah, she's gone. But y'can't lie to me. I know that y'miss her. I know y'miss her because I miss her. Sure she might've gone to Simon or whatever, but- but at least we got t'see her again, yeah? And isn't that somethin'?

[ Rudy snatches the photo from his Other self and looks at it for a long moment. He sighs and slams it back in the box, pointing a finger at Other Rudy. ]

Fine. Y'can keep this shit, all right? Just don't fuckin' bring it out when I'm here. I don't wanna see any of these little- stupid hair things or any of-

Camera's on.

What?

Camera's on. [ Other Rudy nods to the camera. ] See? Little flashy light there?

Oh you've gotta be fuckin- [ Rudy grabs for the camera and quickly shuts it off. ]

[ Ramona appears on screen, more than a little upset and more than a little bit head glow-y. ]

Okay, Whose idea of a sick joke is this?

[ She holds up what looks to be a red and white Rickenbacker bass with its neck broken in half. She points to it and stares, expecting the camera to respond to her. She's got a cigarette in this hand, which she quickly takes a puff off of. ]

I don't know who's responsible for it, but I'm pissed. Is this some kind of stupid threat? I swear to God if Gideon has shown back up or something- [ She takes a deep breath and sets the instrument down. ]

Whatever. This is dumb
