Chapter 16. Holding out for a home life

[thebestseller]

Man-twin, pack up your bags. I, among others, have joined the elite ranks of the Guides and now have the illustrious job of welcoming naked people to this crazy hippie commune.

Which means we now get CUSHY SECTION 4 DIGS. Heat. Air. SPACE in which you can conduct your science and play with your star-friend. Let's get going already and into the lap of luxury.

[Hastily added in.]

Boss. Buddy. Pal. Section 4 only has two bedrooms, I'm afraid. So unless you like couches...

What? They actually hired you?! No way--you stud! Journal hi-5!

*preeeens*

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

I am SUPER-STUDLY. Hi-5, and down low.

I wasn't expecting it, either! Man, this is going to be awesome.

[man-genius.livejournal.com]

Yeah yeah don't let it go to your head.

Awesome but that's a lot of naked people viewing in your future.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

I think I might be visiting you two more often.

I take it section 4 wasn't pet-friendly, hm? You left Boss to fend for himself?

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

Well, section 4 only has two bedrooms, you see. So unless he likes sleeping on the couch...

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Only two? How chintzy. Well, I suppose that's the price to pay for all the amenities and a room with a view.

A couch is better than in the streets, I suppose.

[man-genius.livejournal.com]

So sad too bad.

[datswhatshesaid.livejournal.com]

Ha-ha, Bell, very funny.

[spandexisyouth]

Congratulations! You can warn people about apples when they first arrive!

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's a good point. I'll probably compose a speech to read as they emerge.

[spandexisyouth]

I can help you if you would like!

[enchainement.livejournal.com]

Games are better played outside.

Will Pénghoú rewrite it all?

[man-genius.livejournal.com]

Yes. Will you help me?

[enchainement.livejournal.com]

You want my help?

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

'course he will. He loves writing on the wall, anyway.

And even if games are better outside, you're still welcome in our house anytime.

[enchainement.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

Don't lose the octopus!

[datswhatshesaid.livejournal.com]

Really? Well... That's okay. I'm sure it'll be fine. We're movin' on up!

We will be like kings in a palace. My good sir! Call the servants! My tea is cold!

Derrick's going "crap crap crap" XD

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

Ah- you sure? I mean, there's nobody else who could benefit from your livein customer service expertise?

lol

[datswhatshesaid.livejournal.com]

Nope, nope nope nope. I won't be leaving, because I stick with my friends.

Hey, what do you say we have a housewarming party? We could invite every- well, almost everyone. The cool people, anyway. What do you say? It's gonna be off the wall, man.

[trustingtruth.livejournal.com]

Congratulations!

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

Thanks a bunch. There's always the danger of ninja attacks, but, well, I can learn to defend myself, too.

[desig-survivor.livejournal.com]

You actually live in the same quarters as Boss?





I'm so sorry.

Strikes visible for a moment, then stricken out

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

What can I say? I am a very generous man.

That and two of my best friends are ninjas.

[crownofsnow.livejournal.com]

Ah, congratulations and welcome to the ranks of the greeters. I'm Cross, a medic and greeter.

[bloody-pens.livejournal.com]

Appreciate it, Cross. I'm sure we'll be seeing each other plenty around the Hatchery.
