Video 4 - George's room

[toiletseat_girl]

[the video opens on George, sitting on the edge of her bed with her legs crossed. she looks curious, but also a little sheepish as what she's about to ask is . . . personal.

no, she's not asking for flirting advice again.

that was one time.

stop looking at her like that.

no, this time what she's asking is even weirder]

So, uh, I was kind of wondering. How many people here died before they came here? And how many are now immortal?

I was just. Wanting to know?

That's probably it. So nobody complains except the ones who have it easy and just like to bitch, anyway.

[it probably is]

And they never apologize. [would it kill someone to cut George a little slack? really?]

[She snorts.] We gotta dim view of the easy folks.

['We' because she agrees.]

Empathy ain't in a lotta people's nature.

Is there a reason why we shouldn't?

[George doesn't think so]

No, it sure as shit isn't. Which sucks, but what can you do?

private voice;

[thelastjoy]

Some people would probably say we gotta be the bigger ones.

Not much. People only change when they want to. You can't force it on 'em.

private voice;

[toiletseat_girl]

Fuck that. There's time for that when your luck turns around.

Ain't that the truth. Much as it sucks.

private voice;

[thelastjoy]

You got the right of it. Even if most people won't see it.

Truth always sucks. If it was pretty and easy, it'd be a lie.

private voice;

[toiletseat_girl]

No, they don't. Most people live and die and don't change much.

And as my parents always said, [her voice acquires a sing-song quality] nobody likes a liar.
