bothbarrels[ When North appears on the network this particular evening, he doesn't share anything about why he's so drunk or anything like that. He doesn't go mooning to the entire network about his problems or the situation with Wash and his sister. No, that's not on his agenda at all.
What's on his agenda is his ever-increasing irritation with how messy the people on the rig seem to be. ]
Look at this.
[ North turns the camera of his device to show one of the urinals in the restrooms near the living quarters of the rig. His words are slurred just enough to show to the discerning that he's pretty drunk. ]
You see that? That's filthy.
[ The camera is now turned to show North's face. He holds the device low, and walks out of the restroom. ]
And if you think I'm complaining about just one urinal you've got another think coming. Look at this hallway.
[ He turns the camera again. ]
The walls are stained. The floor is dirty.
[ There's a slight pause with a sound like him swallowing a burp. ]
And yes, I know there's parts from an oil rig and all that. But you live here. You're not telling me you lived like this wherever you came from.
And if you did...shame on you.
[ It's distant-sounding at first, but North's feed picks up York in the background calling his name and asking what's taking so long, then just: ]
Oh no.
[ A cheerful brunette appears in the feed, waving and smiling winningly. He'll make up for North insulting the entire rig with sheer charm, just you watch him. ]
Don't mind him, folks! He's just a grumpy drunk tonight, we're gonna head off now. Right, North? Bedtime. How do we turn this off?
