#8: Dr. Horrible's Babysitting Service

[Video Post]

[A teenage boy is shown, looking rather small for his age, which is 16.  He is wearing a lab coat that is clearly too long, and looking slightly confused.]

Doogie

[The boy says the following to the camera.]

Uh, hi.  I'm not really sure what's going on here, and at first I thought I was dreaming, but now I don't know.  Anyway, I know that this is the City and I live here for now...and maybe there was a party last night?  I also know how to work this thing, I think, so you can see me.  I really like computers. 

Anyway, there are a lot of children today and most of you sound kind of lost, even though I'm pretty sure some of you belong here.  Right now I'm in the lobby of Building 11 with some snacks I found in the fridge so if you want you can come by here, or call me if you need help.  I don't babysit much, but I have a couple of younger cousins. 

[ooc:  Well, Billy is very protective of children.  The curse muddled his thinking somehow, so he has vague memories of the city and his adult life and he kind of knows who people are, but has trouble focusing on it.  He probably won't remember much of this tomorrow.

I'm so excited that I got to use Doogie Howser pictures!  He even has a widdle lab coat, d'awwww.  Action for anyone who needs babysitting/wishes to gawk at bitty!horrible.]

I'm seventeen twenty. It's a helluva lot older than eleven.

I'm not eleven. I don't think I'm even sixteen, really. I have my own apartment and everything.

I share it with a friend, but he's not any older than me, not even when things are...I forget. Anyway, I don't even go to school anymore. I have a job and pay for everything myself.

Right. Let me guess -- you're some kind of doctor?

I'm Dr. Horrible. But I'm the scientist kind of doctor, I'm not a medical doctor. I invent stuff.

Dr. Horrible? What kind of lameass name is THAT?

[identity profile] horrible-phd.livejournal.com 2008-12-24 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
It's my name, and I really can be horrible. Someday you'll see and you'll regret saying that.

You sure as hell have horrible taste in names.
