#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.]

Et tu, Dr. Horrible?

Hey, Emma. What's up?

[identity profile] mis-match.livejournal.com 2008-12-24 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
What's...up? I'm afraid I don't quite understand.

[identity profile] horrible-phd.livejournal.com 2008-12-24 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
How are you? Are you young or old?

[identity profile] mis-match.livejournal.com 2008-12-24 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
I am well. I seem to have escaped the current curse. You are not too young, it seems.

[identity profile] horrible-phd.livejournal.com 2008-12-24 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
Nah. I'm lucky, I'm a teenager instead of a kid. Although, I keep tripping because my clothes are a bit long. I babysat for Toshiko earlier and it went okay, I guess. Jack didn't set anything on fire as far as I know. And my friend Gabriel might come over.

Hey dweeb. Have you seen a guy named Gregory around? Tall, hot, early 30's?

[identity profile] horrible-phd.livejournal.com 2008-12-24 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
Shut up. Also, no.

[identity profile] chicagosbest.livejournal.com 2008-12-24 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
Don't tell me to shut up! What are you, ten?

[identity profile] horrible-phd.livejournal.com 2008-12-24 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sixteen. And I can do what I want here.

[identity profile] chicagosbest.livejournal.com 2008-12-24 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
Liar. You're eleven, tops.

[identity profile] horrible-phd.livejournal.com 2008-12-24 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not the one who lost a dude named Gregory.

[identity profile] chicagosbest.livejournal.com 2008-12-24 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
I didn't lose him, nitwit. He's just late. SUPER late. I'm-going-to-kick-his-ass-dead late.

[identity profile] mis-match.livejournal.com 2008-12-24 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
I'm glad to hear that. It's so good of you to look after the children.

Have you seen Rain? Do you know if she's cursed?

[identity profile] horrible-phd.livejournal.com 2008-12-24 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
Whatever. Maybe he decided to stand you up. Were you going on a date with someone that old?

[identity profile] chicagosbest.livejournal.com 2008-12-24 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
He didn't stand me up! And he's not old! We're getting married today!

[identity profile] horrible-phd.livejournal.com 2008-12-24 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
I haven't seen Rain at all. A curse...right...that's why I'm like this. I seem to keep forgetting.

[identity profile] mis-match.livejournal.com 2008-12-24 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
A function of the curse, I suspect. Well, so long as you are safe and taken care of, all is well.

[identity profile] horrible-phd.livejournal.com 2008-12-24 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
I'm fine taking care of myself.

[identity profile] horrible-phd.livejournal.com 2008-12-24 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, wow, really? But you can't be much older than I am.

[identity profile] chicagosbest.livejournal.com 2008-12-24 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
I'm seventeen twenty. It's a helluva lot older than eleven.

[identity profile] somekindofsin.livejournal.com 2008-12-24 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think you're properly qualified to watch children.

...What kinds of snacks?

[identity profile] mis-match.livejournal.com 2008-12-24 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
I have no doubt of that, Dr. Horrible.



[identity profile] horrible-phd.livejournal.com 2008-12-24 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
Well, there doesn't seem to be enough other people doing it.

Tosh ate all my apples but I have some grapes and some chips and I can probably go get some other things.

[identity profile] somekindofsin.livejournal.com 2008-12-24 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. That's sad, everyone being incompetent all at once.

Not that you're incompetent! At least you have food--may I have some? Please? I'll sit quietly in the corner and not say a word, I promise.
