[ Skeets has figured out how to connect to the Network with his mind using his nannite tattoo, which is really quite useful for him especially. So while this is video, everything is from Skeet’s perspective. And currently his perspective isn’t very good. To say he's in a "messy apartment" would be an understatement.

Clothes are definitely not where they're supposed to be, there are several empty pizza boxes and other signs of food scattered around. Plates with bread crusts, seemingly unwashed for a while, with paper plates for when one is too lazy to just wash off a real plate. Envelopes and papers are just hodgepodge everywhere.

While he speaks, he’s tidying. With his little robot hands he picks up these things and puts them back where they came from, to the best of his ability to guess where something might have possibly come from. He removes garbage, puts said dishes in the sink, and sorts through papers.

This is a public service announcement. If this is what your room, house or apartment looks like, it is a disaster of untold proportions and you should clean it.


[ He picks up a sock that is draped across a lampshade. ]

Look at that. This is unsustainable. You could be ported out at any time, and someone else will have to clean up your mess. That would be unpleasant for everyone involved.

[ Pause. ]

People like Mr. Kord should keep that in mind. [ HINT HINT. That’s less of a public service announcement and more of a very pointed aside for the owner of this particular space.

As he’s cleaning up a pile of papers unceremoniously stuffed in a drawer, he comes across a particular piece of paper.
]

Not to mention, you may damage or misplace important documents, like this marriage certificate! That shouldn’t be left out in --

[ He stops abruptly. Marriage certificate? What?

And then he actually looks at the paper more closely. Since everything is from Skeets' point of view, the network gets a very clear look at the evidence that Ted Kord and Michael Jon Carter (with a scribbled out “Booster Gold" and little drawn star next to that name), were legally married in Las Vegas on January 1st, 2016.

Skeets looks at the paper for a very, very long moment. One could almost say that he’s in shock.

Excuse me.

[ And then he cuts the feed. ]

So definitely your mom.

[That is exactly what moms like to hold over you right? Even his mom does it and she's normally the chill parent in his house.]

The truly depressing part is I'm out of ways to argue against that.

Don't bother. Just accept it and move on, man. Makes it easier. Getting him out of your house might not be, but I hear that's a mom thing too.

[Like he would know, he's still a teenager that lives at home back in his world.]

Besides, is him throwing out the old food really all that bad?
deadkord: (Vegetables chock-full of antidepressants)

The food isn't that old. [ To be fair, his dog does a pretty good job of stealing the good food when it gets left out. ]

But that's really not the problem here.

I can't even handle leaving wrappers around. [His mother may have raised a bit of a neatfreak when it came to food. And he was always more willing to help clean up around Virgil's house more than his bro was himself.]

What else is the big deal? Invasion of privacy sucks, bro, but friends are pushy like that. Tell him to knock it off if it bothers you that much.
