v i d e o ][ 004

[ For the next nearly six minutes, Yusuf's device is going to send one of his favorite scenes from Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam over the network! ]

[ The video cuts off to leave Yusuf's smiling face, delighted at the blast from the past. He was only, what, in his early twenties when that came out? When was the last time he watched anything with Aishwarya Rai in it? ]

What do I have to press to see the whole movie!

[ ooc: Yusuf is affected by the Memory Theater curse, but no embarrassing videos for you all! ]

She never gets any less gorgeous.

Did this device come with Netflix and I was totally unawares?

Age hardly knows what to do with her.

I thought you were holding out on me.

I'd hardly know what to do with her, so I can't blame time.

And deny us both of Bollywood classics? Yusuf.

And I cannot imagine a single thing I would not want to do with her; funny how that works.

You can be a cruel man when the mood strikes, and the holes in your leg are hardly helping. Arthur makes a rather austere nurse.

Your imagination is clearly larger than mine, it would seem.

True and true again. I'd much rather be nursed back to health by Aishwarya Rai.

Essentially, yes, but it has a genre all to itself, called Bollywood.

I'm sure they-- Move, Jefferson!

[And suddenly the cat and his ass is forcefully removed from the camera and in his place is a second of the ceiling of an apartment and then a woman. He does not like this. He makes sure everybody hears just how much he does not like this.

Sorry about that. As I was saying before, it's probably in the International section.

No problem at all, I have cats of my own.

[ Well, as of right now, a cat. The rest of his menagerie is still at his home in Mombasa, hopefully being fed by the man who sits sentinel in the den. Yusuf can only hope. ]

Perhaps I will have to find my way to this video shop. It would be well worth it for a little reminder of home.

[ Yusuf doesn't know morse code-- just about as useful as smoke signals, he's thought-- and so he doesn't recognize it as such. He clicks through preferences until he gets to a list of languages. At this point, he isn't above looking up Spider as one of the languages in The City.

Spider isn't an option, but oh look, International Morse Code! He switches it on figuring, if anything, it'll be a lark. ]

Oh- OH, yes, I am very sorry. Is there anything I can do for you?
