[crackpotcrocker]

Anyone else getting letters from people they know back home?
Gellert, my apologies for disappearing like that.

[Action: For Washu and Ryoko]

[Someone is in the bathroom shower, if either of them are looking for Denzel in his room. He's no where to be found.]

[Action: Around Discedo]

[Finally, feeling better and having a white shirt again. Crocker is stretching his legs around Discedo and looking for coffee]

Comments

[bringerofdemons]

[Well, since neither one of them was in the shower and Denzel wasn't in his room that left him.

Don't mind her she'll be be waltzing on in with no hesitation.]

I'm not too sure where they're coming from. Also, I think I found another pen of yours.

[crackpotcrocker]

[Crocker was scubbing his hunch back, when suddenly a voice.] GAH! Don't come in! Don't look! [Grabbing the shower curtains around his body before peeking from behind steamy and water droplet glasses] You did?

[bringerofdemons]

Yeah, but..

[Hasn't really opened it because she's rather skeptical of it?

What are you getting so jumpy for?]

Why not? Is something wrong?

[Ryo-ohki is also nestled into her hair.]

[crackpotcrocker]

But?...

Some of us here, don't like - showing off.

[Pause] How long did I have a fever?

[bringerofdemons]

It's pretty odd? I don't know who I'd get one from... Not to mention primitive. When will you earthlings stop using this method?

I dunno....give or take a couple of days or a week?

[And with that she grabs the shower curtain and draws it back.]

Don't see what's wrong with that. I never got why shower curtains are used in the first place.

[crackpotcrocker]

Your father? When techology improves here?

Can't you count sunsets?

GAH! [Denzel is clinging to the curtain as much as he can]

Besides keeping water in the tub, some of us have something called - SHAME!

[wandthief]

Did you go home?

[crackpotcrocker]

No, I just had the flu for awhile...

[wandthief]

So you are well again?

[crackpotcrocker]

Yes, finally. How have you been?

[wandthief]

Well enough. Nothing much has changed.

[crackpotcrocker]

You didn't get a letter?

[wandthief]

Letter? No.

[crackpotcrocker]

Mmmm. How strange.

[wandthief]

So you got some letter from home?

[crackpotcrocker]

Yes, from my old bat.

[wandthief]

I didn't know bats could handle quills to write with.

[crackpotcrocker]

No, no. My mother.

[wandthief]

Oh.

Don't you like her?

[crackpotcrocker]

No.

[wandthief]

What did she say?

[crackpotcrocker]

To paraphrase, 'Help my beloved child and save me! I'll make you cookies afterwards.'

Bah!

[wandthief]

Save her from what?

[crackpotcrocker]

She didn't say. Those scientists are watching her too much.

...Strange. Never thought there was anything that scientsts could do to not piss me off and here I'm glad mother is in grave peril because of them.

[wandthief]

Have you seen her here at all? Maybe it is a hoax.

[crackpotcrocker]

Never been to Lachesistein.

[wandthief]

I've never even heard of it before.

[crackpotcrocker]

Nor have I. Mmmmm. Well, I'm not going. My roommates are. Suppose I'll hear what it's all about when they return for me.

[wandthief]

With your mother?

[crackpotcrocker]

...... I hope not. No, some of their friends are there as well. Apparently.

[wandthief]

So there will be more people coming back then. If they make it back.

[crackpotcrocker]

........ Mmm, I'm not sure how I feel about those two not making it back.

[wandthief]

But it's a possibility.

[crackpotcrocker]

Yes, yes it is. Anything is a possiblity.

[totallygay]

Ya. Something about going to some weird long-named place.

Sounds kind of scary.

[He looks intimidated, but it's all an act. Even if the letter was real, he doesn't feel very inclined to listen to it.]

[crackpotcrocker]

Yes, -LACHESISTEIN!

...Can't say I can find it on the map or that I care very much.

[totallygay]

That! What is that? German or something?

[Now he looks surprised]

There's a map?!

[crackpotcrocker]

Mmmm... I'm not exactly sure..

Yes, there's a program in these commucators courtesy of Japan, that allows one to see the maps of Spero, Dissimulo and Discedo.

[totallygay]

Even if it was, I guess it wouldn't be called German on Fortuna. Maybe Lachesisteinan!

Japan? Really? I wonder why Birdybird didn't tell me.

Any way I can use it?

[crackpotcrocker]

EXACTLY!

Yes.....Birdybird?

When you're looking at your communicator, there's a MENU option and under that there's a selection called - MAPS!

[totallygay]

Birdybird. Ya know, the phoenix guy named Marco. Can't miss him. He's got a pineapple head.

[Tatsumi does as he is instructed and his face lights us when he reaches the program.]

Cool! I didn't know that was there at all!! Ha ha!!!

You must be really good with this stuff!
