[Does this look like a harassed clock with a human face? Does it? Good, because it's Cogsworth, sitting in front of a window on the Marvisa and he looks like he just swallowed about a half a dozen lemons. In his tiny brass hands he is holding a piece of paper, and he keeps fiddling with it, shifting it between his two hands.
He puts one brass hand up to his mouth, clears his throat, and then fumbles with the paper for a moment. Could he be ... nervous? It's possible.
Lips pressed together, the time hands on his face twitching, he states flatly.]
Hello. My name is Cogsworth and I am a ... [now he has to look at the word.] Ho-mo-sexual. I realize that I am a ... clock, but I assure you that I am not a ho-mo-sex-ual clock, but a ho-mo-sex-ual man. I have been ... told. Rigorously.
[Here he is glowering.]
That I need to ... 'embrace' this. So. If there are any ... individual males who would not mind ... being complimented by a ... human clock, then, ah. Please! Come forward.
[Okay he'll try a smile but it's more of a sheepish grimace at this point. God help him.]

[Cogsworth's tone is so dry it could be the Sahara.]
Yes. That is quite, quite fitting.
Re: video;
[ They remind him of Spock and Bones, it's really cute. How can a clock be this cute without some sort of cat on it? ]
Those are the best sorts of friends, if you ask me. Keep you on your toes.

[ His smile is both fond and sad at the same time. ]
I mean, if you didn't every now and then, are you really friends?
Re: video;
[He tips his head.]
You have friends like this, yes?
Re: video;
[ He snorted and then couldn't suppress the laugh. ]
Oh yes, yes I do. But you have the right of it - I like it that way. Even I admit there are times I need a good knock to the head and they're more than willing to give it to me.

[He beamed quietly.]
Re: video;
Though I fear I am no match for such a well appointed clock.
[ He throws a wink your way. ]
Re: video;
Well. I. Of course you are, don't be silly!
Re: video;
Oh, but I am never silly - only honest.
[ If he had dimples he would use them, but he doesn't, so he uses those freckles instead. ]
Re: video;
[Tee hee hee. The clock is unbelievably pleased, and he is smiling that his numbers are crinkling at the corners.]
Re: video;
I think you are more than my match, Cogsworth ~
[ He just wants to pinch your cute little cheeks, Cogsworth. ]
Re: video;
[All the blushing, all the time, his blue-eyed gaze totally smitten.]
Oh, you're just saying that ...
Re: video;
Oh no ~ I am a quite prideful man, being a captain. I don't make such compliments lightly.
Re: video;
You are such a charmer.
Re: video;
Well, takes one to know one doesn't it~?
Re: video;
Re: video;
Hah, only time will tell won't it? For now we shall just have to agree to disagree.
