[15 April] [James Bond] Beep
Title: Beep
Day/Theme: April 15th - Beep beep yeah!
Series: James Bond
Character/Pairing: Bond
Rating: PG
The monologuing megalomaniacs, the clingy ex-lesbians, the henchmen who just won't die - these, I can handle. I've grown used to them somehow; to be without them would feel strange. I take it for granted that there will be girls, annoying girls maybe, airheaded girls, and really annoying henchmen. Deformed, too. Can't henchmen be normal? Must they all be midgets, or have mouths constructed out of titanium, or have been born without vocal cords?
I don't know, I suppose I'd just like to see some equal representation of normal people among henchmen. Just once I'd like to go head-to-head against some bloke I might have been at school with, you know? Not a French Filipino dwarf.
But all of that, I've come to terms with. Just another day in the life. But you know what I can't abide?
Homing devices.
That damn beep.
Why? Isn't it possible to create something that can track its counterpart without beeping incessantly the entire time? Rhythmically? Over? And over? And over? And over? Again? I'll admit my technical knowledge is a tad sketchy - that's why we have Q-Branch, after all - but I'm sure it must be possible.
So, Q, or R, or whoever the hell you are these days, get to work on that, why don't you? Forget the inflatable jacket, okay? It's rubbish. At the moment I just need something to keep me sane. England's depending on you.
Thanks, old chum.
