SARAH-Jamie, catching up.

[smart_house]

SARAH's door opens where it usually does, thrown wide like usual, lights on but dimmed.

Like usual.

There's not much variation, when you have a purpose in existence as...structured, as SARAH does.

"I'm all right."

Jamie is a low-maintenance sort of fellow.

He stops, and then adds, rather shiftily, "But I wouldn't say no if you were to put on that telly-thing."

SOAP OPERAS FTW!

Too bad there's no squopera in Eureka.

A drawer slides out from the wall to reveal a remote control. "You can pick."

Jamie inspects the remote control with interest.

"I just use the arrows? Or the numbers?"

[smart-house.livejournal.com]

"The arrows will take you through the channels sequentially. The numbers lead to specific channels."

"But I don't know what channel's what, so I reckon the arrows are what I want," Jamie concludes, and pushes one decisively.

Onscreen, someone chops off an octopus' leg, grins maniacally, and says, "Now we roll it in the rosemary-herb breadcrumb mixture -"

Jamie blinks.

"I need to reinstall a V-Chip really badly."

[walksthebounds]

"A what?"

Jamie flips the channel, and a man juts his chin out and says, "We'll see him behind bars."

On the next channel, a different man is doing the same thing.

"It's a device that prevents impressionable minds from finding -- "

"Oh Jethro -- how...delicious -- "

The channel changes before Jamie touches a button.

"Anything inappropriate."

[walksthebounds]

Jamie can't help but laugh at this.

"If it's my mind you're worried about, it's not all that easy to impress. Impression."

[smart-house.livejournal.com]

"I will remember that."

SARAH lets Jamie play with the television channels for as long as he wants. SARAH has no place else to be.
