Whoah - hang on-- [There is some shaky cam for a second, and then Scott has managed to prop the camera up...somewhere. As he backs away, it's pretty clear that it's on some kind of tree branch, because it's angled down at Scott. He's got a lacrosse stick in his hands, and there's a red helmet on the ground next to him.

He's also grinning the biggest grin.]

The CES is awesome, in case uh, anyone else hasn't been up here yet. Totally awesome. [He's juggling a ball in the net, jerking the stick back and forth and tossing the ball up every now and then.] There's this big space, and it's like, completely perfect for lacrosse. Does anyone else play? Maybe we could get a scrimmage going.

[Private to Bruce]

Hey, uh, I'm Scott McCall. I'm new here, but Chromie told me you were talking about opening an animal clinic? It's just, I worked in one back home and I thought, you know, if I'm waiting around for an inmate I could help with that?

[Private to Megamind]

Hi. Um - I'm Scott. Do you have a minute?

[Private to the Admiral]

Sooooo, how would it work if I wanted to run an animal clinic? You know, for the pets and...animals. Can I use an empty room or something? Can you get me supplies? It'll, um. [And now he is totally reading from the list Megamind gave him.] It'll be a good, uh, employment opportunity for inmates, it'll make wardens' jobs easier because they won't have to worry about their pets, and taking care of animals is a good...learning experience?

Comments

[versusnurture]

Yes. Exactly.

All the parts of the animal, Scott.

I think he did end up catching the man who made the totem pole, if that helps.

[semifreakingnormal]

Animals don't have hair.

[versusnurture]

Ooh, did I say hair? I meant fur.

[semifreakingnormal]

You said hair.

[And he's freaking out a little????????]

[versusnurture]

You look upset, Scott. What's wrong?

[semifreakingnormal]

What did you guys hunt?

[Also are you werewolves???????]

[versusnurture]

Deer.

[tra la la la la]

What do you think?

[semifreakingnormal]

...Something with hair.

[But she totally meant fur so. She shakes his head, and starts moving forward again. ASDflkshlh.] What's deer taste like?

[versusnurture]

[Oh, Scott, honey. She sighs and continues on at his side.]

Rich. Very rich. It can be gamey if you don't cook it right, and some people don't know how to, since it's not as popular as chicken or steak or fish.

[semifreakingnormal]

...How do you cook it? [He doesn't actually care, he just wants to get back to something like normalcy.]

[versusnurture]

Well, how do you like your steak? You can do a lot of similar things with venison. Or make jerky out of it. Do you like jerky, Scott?

[semifreakingnormal]

I guess, yeah. You can make deer jerky?

[versusnurture]

Sure. You can make jerky out of pretty much any kind of meat. It's a pain because you have to dehydrate it, but my dad showed me how to do it in the oven.

You're still looking a little concerned. Did I say something wrong?

[semifreakingnormal]

No! No. Everything's fine.

[Help. Help. Help.]

[versusnurture]

And jumpy, too. I definitely did say something wrong.

Tell me.

[semifreakingnormal]

No, no, just - uh - the totem pole thing.

And the hair thing.

[versusnurture]

Sorry. It sort of seems normal to me now, after all this time. Both of them.

[semifreakingnormal]

...Why is hair normal?

[versusnurture]

Oh, I meant fur.

Again.

[Come on, Scott.]

[semifreakingnormal]

Okay, seriously? You're kinda freaking me out.

A little.

[A lot. But he is trying to nervous smile past it???]

[versusnurture]

Oh, Scott. I've been here for almost three months. Why are you so trusting? It doesn't make sense.

Human hair, Scott. I can see that you know that, somewhere in there. You just don't want to admit it. Because people don't want to believe things like that. But you can admit it to yourself now.

It's okay, though! You don't have to be freaked out. I'm not dangerous.

[semifreakingnormal]

[....But.]

Why'd you lie?

[versusnurture]

To prove a point.

[semifreakingnormal]

[He was wrong about Cassel, Abigail is the worst.]

What point?

[versusnurture]

That you shouldn't invite strange people to to meet you alone, no matter how harmless they look. Not here. Not anywhere.
