[Video] S03E01: Fitz and the Tantrums

[manicurious]

[The transmission begins with something of a disdainful snort. Someone is on the verge of throwing a tantrum as he stands in front of a window displaying the starry expanse outside, clutching a pillow in the most aggressive way it's physically possible for him to clutch a pillow.]

Really? Really!? I spent HOW many months making sure that every little nook and cranny of this station remains perfectly flawless and beautiful, waiting and waiting AND WAITING for this day, this MOMENT, and THIS is the thanks I get!? Being locked back here!? Just how in the hell am I supposed to welcome everyone like this, huh!? How am I supposed to be a gracious, pleasant host when I'm locked in the station's equivalent to a GODDAMN MAINTENANCE CLOSET!?

[His death-grip on the pillow tightens visibly.]

I'm going to have a word with that man, and if he doesn't help me fix this, I... I'll think of something!!

[The video switches off, but the audio stays on for a moment to catch a muffled comment:]

This was supposed to be such a good day...

That wasn't a request, it was a demand.

Oh, you found it then? Hell if I know how it was made - it's probably composed of something I've never even heard of.

[He technically IS a criminal. But certainly not an ugly one, and only slimy in the figurative sense. Either way she doesn't need to know that.]

Criminal! You really think that valuing my personal space and the flawless state of my hair is a sign of criminality? Like it matters whether you're blind or not!

At least if I'm trapped here and die, you can't lick my hair. Unless you get in some time after that. But then I won't care because I won't be alive, so I still win.
