no_ufo_ending | Room 038 [Video] (Backdated to PSYCH-UP FRIDAY)

_{[The feed flickers on and the camera shakes wildly before it rounds on a shirtless and wide-eyed Henry Townshend. The only thing behind him is an abundance of evening sky. He is on the roof.]}

I'm going to do it. I'm finally going to do it, are you ready? I'm gonna catch Fat Stanley.

_{[The camera whips around to show a flock of Pidove foraging peacefully in the neighbor's yard below. Sure enough, one of them is rather fat.]}

He has no idea. He's been evading us for a year he thinks he's so great well he's got another thing coming!

_{[He gingerly puts his 'gear down on the roof and angles it where he thinks the Pidove flock is. Sadly, they're cut off from view. The last thing the camera films is one Henry Townshend running along the edge of the roof full tilt and disappearing over the edge of it with a wild war yell.]

[The feed eventually times out.]

[Any video responses will come the following day.]}

[ACTION FOR SHARKHOUSE the following day.]

_{[Henry sulks on the sofa and frowns blearily at the television. He is full of two different kinds of pain medicine and his foot is in a cast already lovingly decorated with names and messages from his housemates. He did not catch Fat Stanley.]}

[...oh no Henry.]

You seemed pretty excited, whatever it was! Maybe you just really thought you had him that time.

Fat Stanley is kind of...I guess it's an in-joke with my friends and I. But I don't think any of us would throw ourselves off a roof over it.

Huh...well, it happens I guess! At least you'll know...not to do that next time?

[Jimmy no that isn't helping.]

_{[It's really not.]}

I'll keep that in mind.

Sounds good! And I hope your foot feels better soon. Broken bones suck.

They do. I can't remember the last time I broke something that wasn't a rib. There isn't much you can do about that.

Oh, you've broken ribs before? That sounds a lot worse than an arm, or a leg...how do you put something like that in a cast?

Haha, you can't. You just have to be very careful and make sure to sleep on your back.

Yikes...Can you still like, walk around and stuff?

With a broken rib? You don't have much choice.

Yeah, I guess that's true. I guess there's worse things to break...like your neck.

[Let's not talk or think about that, though.]

_{[THAT just gets poor Jimmy a Look.]}

...but you didn't! So that's good!

[Jimmy...]

Yeah, uh. I think I should take a nap now. Get my strength back, you know?

Oh, sure thing! Feel better soon, okay?
