"... no, fuck you," Jay murmured, leaning close to the screen. He clicked viciously. "Seriously. Seriously? Okay, whatever."

He blew out a heavy sigh, one that seemed to come from a deep place within him. A bitter place. The action on the screen stalled out, and Jay gave up. "Whatever, I'm done. I need to go visit the real world for a minute. Who's up for a late night run to like ... I dunno, Wendy's."

"What, does she get all—" Jamie lifted his hands and mimicked claws while letting out a roar that quickly devolved into chuckles. "I think I can handle her." Jamie sat back in his chair, idly watching Jay do his computer mumbo jumbo, unable to help the soft snort at his reply. "Angles, I get. The fact that the camera is shooting from the exact opposite side of the room than where I set it up—that I don’t get.”

"I won't tell her you said that," Jay said, affecting a prim tone of voice that he dropped almost immediately. He sniffed, once, for good measure.

Jay waited for the software to load up. He wasn't exactly using Avid or anything monstrously heavy, but the files stammered as they imported into the editor. Jay frowned, not a fan of that. He moved a few into the timeline, blazing through them. The audio in his headphones squawked as voices raced past at high speeds.

"It looks fine?" Jay shrugged. He chattered, picking up speed as he explained. "I'm pretty sure you must've forgotten what side the room you shot at the time ... or like, it just imported out of order or something. Which'll be a bitch for me to go and match up, but that is kinda my job, y'know?

"Next time, maybe, do like a little sketch for reference? Lots of people do that. I do that, too, when I need to do stuff like lines of sight, or motion ... anyway, it's totally workable. Don't worry, man."

Blowing out a sigh, Jamie collapsed back into his chair and pushed his own laptop across the table for Jay to get a look at. “She’s not that scary.” Even Jamie didn’t believe his words, and tugged a hand through his hair as he waited for Jay to look through the footage. “I can’t figure out what happened to it. It was fine this morning when I checked it, but now—it’s like they’re all shot from angles I didn’t shoot.”

"You haven't seen her during the last hours of a deadline, then," Jay said, a little dryly, but he flipped open his laptop again, and scrolled through some files, setting up a new structure for the footage.

He pressed his lips together, blowing about half a raspberry. "I bet it just looks like a different angle. Camera stuff can get a bit tricky. As long as we still have the majority of coverage, we'll be fine. Pinky swear. I'll make something work."

"Well…" Jamie leaned back in his chair, hand rubbing across the back of his head as he shrugged. "Not really, no."

"Don't you use those hang dog eyes on me, man. You know that I'm going to be the one going through the raw stuff, right," Jay said, a muscle in his cheek twitching as he frowned. "Just tell me so I'm not like up at 3AM tonight, cowering from Dorothy's wrath."

"Now, it’s no time to freak out but—there may, or may not be, a problem with last night’s footage." Jamie grinned, the awkward tinge not enough to dispel his usual ‘good spirit’, and shifted the laptop away from him. "Whoops?"
