The One With The Ex-Parrot: Video

[twoheadsofcabbage]

[Scrad sits on the zebra-print futon in his puke avocado green room. He has a small television set on his lap, which his arms are wrapped around protectively. He looks shell-shocked. Charlie, who is hovering behind him, looks livid.]

Y'know, normally we're all for pirate simulations? But turning half a guy into a parrot is not cool.

[Scrad agrees:]

Hnnngh.

[...because he's obsessively stroking his own tongue. Charlie twists around until he's facing his bodymate.]

Snap outta it!

[There's the Kay they were expecting...to shoot them in a vital organ, honestly.]

Right. Well. We will admit: things got a little out of hand.

[As Charlie recalls:]

People got bent...too far...

[Scrad continues:]

But in our defense: hey, that girl was gonna blow up and take out the whole planet, so.

[Maybe they're not so bad after all (no, they are).]

[Each period of the ellipses that follows that statement is mentally flicked at Charlies head. And one at Scrad's.]

She had a way off the planet.

You sure about that? Because you were pretty busy with the mail, that guy who owned the pizza parlor seemed to think somebody else was handling it, and she sure didn't know.

[Charlie tsks.]

Not telling somebody they're set to explode: that's pretty cold, even for you guys.

Excuse me.

[And he gets up and turns off the comm, because he's going to looking for Scrad with every intention of grabbing him by Charlie and swing him right into a door.

It'll take about twenty minutes before he loses interest. But it'll happen.]

[Huh. That was unexpected. Charlie turns from cut comm to his brother from the same mother, and, incidentally, spinal column.]

Was it something we said?
