ROXY: gracias senor

ROXY: later *two finger salute*

ERIDAN: *nods as a goodbye bc he has hands full of rings*

ERIDAN: *but also uses his hands to shut the door*

ROXY: *After the visit with Feferi and Nepeta, Roxy had taken to fiddling with her computer again to try and crack it, only to run into the same mysterious roadblock that spammed Sollux with selfies and a laughing soundfile. At the knocks, she turns quickly and gets up to answer the door, pushing her hair from her face.*

ROXY: o hey

ERIDAN: hey

ROXY: whaddup??

ERIDAN: ivve got your brush clean as a wwhistle

ROXY: ooo goody

ROXY: thank ya very muchly *nods and takes the brush back, tilting her head* well you gotta tell me what it is first

ROXY: thats how favors work

ERIDAN: can wwe talk inside then

ROXY: sure thing *steps aside to let him into the room, eyebrow quirking curiously as she closes the door behind him*

ERIDAN: *stands slightly awkwardly rather than sit on the bed, as that's a little too familiar an action for him to be entirely comfortable with* wwell

ERIDAN: wwe wwould appreciate your help if you convvinced your strider to hand ovver his rings

ERIDAN: wwell

ERIDAN: convvince your fucked up clutch to hand ovver their rings

ERIDAN: but your striders got the most

ERIDAN: so hes top priority

ROXY: oooooo *crosses her arms, nodding* yeah i was talkin to fef about the rings last night i figure theyre worth somethin

ROXY: u think we can get ppls limbs and stuff back with them??

ERIDAN: yeah wwe think theyre some kinda currency

ERIDAN: you knoww

ERIDAN: wwhole

ROXY: *nods, holding up her hand to waggle her fingers and show off the three she had.* ill keep hold of mine rn while i convince him just cuz i think if he feels like hes givin them to me itll be a lil easier

ROXY: but once i grab em all i can bring them to you guys

ERIDAN: alright thanks

ROXY: *Roxy is a decently agreeable person bruh*

ERIDAN: okay thanks

ROXY: *steps over to the door to open it and let him outside first*

ERIDAN: *gooooes*

ROXY: *She had gone back to her room after resting with Jane for a while, long enough to feel a little better, and the knock at her door surprises her a bit.* im comin im comin *she is playing up the grandma thing in her mind just for funsies lets be real here*

ROXY: *she answers the door after just a minute* o hey

ERIDAN: thanks for lettin us borroww it

ROXY: that took forever tho she isnt half bald now is she

ROXY: yeah im realizin that now *rubs at her stomach unconsciously* i aint worried for now anyway

ROXY: hes in a better place

ROXY: >.<

ROXY: he is hoeing corn with the best of them

ROXY: hopefully

ERIDAN: thank god

ERIDAN: that means he cant do shit to the rest of us

ERIDAN: maybe the corn wwill get him to calm dowwn

ERIDAN: thanks for dealin wwith him so thoroughly

ROXY: lets hope he doesnt try to murderlate the corn too yeah

ERIDAN: if he does it wwont be harmin nobody

ROXY: yeah but then what good is puttin him in a time out if he just keeps murderlatin thingss

ERIDAN: hell get tired of it evventually

ERIDAN: not that i knoww of

ERIDAN: he fucked ovver his friends from wwhat i understand

ERIDAN: wwell

ERIDAN: he fucked evveryone ovver to be more accurate

ROXY: *puffs up her cheeks before sighing and imitating that one old lady* honey weve got a big storm comin

ROXY: ughh yeah i knew a lil bit of that

ROXY: i guess i was tryna include everybody anyway?

ERIDAN: wwell next time wwe wwanna tell him somethin itd probably be a good idea to havve it be a group effort rather than goin solo

ROXY: ill keep that in mind yea

ROXY: btw tho

ROXY: he did tell me some stuff that was kinda confusin could u clarify for me

ERIDAN: sure

ROXY: we was lookin at the special collumn on the board before

ROXY: hes got a 7

ROXY: whats his 'special' deal u think

ERIDAN: uh

ROXY: thats rly disconcerting

ERIDAN: he dealt the harshest bloww to our black king

ROXY: fef and the blind girl

ROXY: who else volunteered??

ERIDAN: vvris and sol and eq wwanna be part of it

ROXY: i coulda guessed that and i dont even gotta know who 'eq' is

ROXY: no offense to ur lady but shes kind of missin an arm

ERIDAN: *snorts* shes made it through wwith one arm before she can do it again

ERIDAN: wwe all do

ROXY: maybe we can win him a thing of like cologne or somethin

ROXY: for the good of us all

ERIDAN: or maybe wwe can wwin him neww swweat glands in general

ROXY: for all we know that is a possibility yes

ERIDAN: thank FUCK

ERIDAN: its a fuckin trial to havve to be around him in person for more than a feww minutes

ROXY: that rly sucks

ERIDAN: i wwould care but then i remember howw much he swweats and then i dont care at all

ROXY: *nudges his elbow with her knuckles, snickering lightly* ok ur broachin mean levels here cmon

ROXY: so he sweats everybody has problems

ROXY: so long as he dont eat beds too

ERIDAN: hed break a bed first

ROXY: that sounds vaguely dirty actually and now im rly scared

ROXY: did u find the common room yet

ERIDAN: wwhat

ERIDAN: yes

ROXY: *SUBJECT CHANGE*

ROXY: ok cool

ERIDAN: *confused at the abrupt subject change*

ERIDAN: *whatd he say*

ROXY: *8'')*

ROXY: theres gotta be a way to get more than fruit in there

ERIDAN: if you figure it out tell me

ROXY: yeah i will

ERIDAN: cause i can already tell stickin to a strictly vvegetarian diet is gonna grate on me

ROXY: i can sorta guess that what with the *points to her own teeth, clearly in reference to his sharp ones that she could see when he spoke*

ERIDAN: oh yeah i guess thatd be a tip off

ERIDAN: *meanwhile humans have unattractively blunt teeth so he assumes that theyll be fine with just fruit*

ROXY: *whos teeth u callin unattractive motherfucka kissing you is probably a life or death ordeal or somethin*

ROXY: *nods and glances back at the board and steps back* anyways thats all i was curious about

ROXY: thanks for fillin me in

ERIDAN: no problem

ROXY: and for my brush back *waves it**oh god is there a ton of dark hair stuck in this thing*

ERIDAN: *no omg he cleaned out the hair*

ERIDAN: *youre frickin welcome rox*

ROXY: *my hero*

ERIDAN: youre wwelcome

ERIDAN: *assumes that shes going to go back to her room, so u know what hes gonna stand here and keep checkin out the holoboard. yep.*

ROXY: *ima go pretend to ice my leg with the ice i dont have now yep*

ERIDAN: *good luck rox*

ROXY: *have fun fancy guillermo*

ROXY: *upon leaving the room with jane and turning her head, she jerks back a little bit in surprise* whoa nelly

ROXY: *time to jog over*

JANE: Oh, goodness. *why are we jogging I'm still trying to wake up*

ROXY: *gotta go FAST janey*

SOLLUX: *first time being conscious in this room, no difference is noticed. but he still approaches the board as it is the first thing that catches his eye - the second being the only other portal out of this room. room? sure, let's call this a 'room' too. a few others appear to be in the same room.*

ROXY: *she does notice the troll standing there, of course, and glances between him and the board* hey hey

ERIDAN: *all eridan wanted was to escape his sorry excuse for a room. evidently a few other people had the same idea -- he recognized one of the girls as the one who had spoken earlier at feferi's urging -- but unfortunately, none of them were people he particularly wanted to see. still, there was /something/ he wanted to see: the chart that he was pretty sure wasn't there earlier.*

ROXY: *MORE TROLLS TROLLS EVERYWHERE*

JANE: *paying too much attention to the board, and then this new troll coming in, she almost smacked into roxy. quick stop!*

ROXY: *except nah shes scanning the board again* is this what i think it *DOOF* yo

ERIDAN: *wow these humans really arent that coordinated, are they.*

ROXY: back it up like a tonka truck janey

ERIDAN: *side-eyeing you weirdos pretty hard.*

ROXY: okay theeeeen

ROXY: aaaaaanybody gonna second my notion that this is a big ass stats chart

JANE: *i said almost ya dweeb but sure, she backpedals* Sorry!

SOLLUX: *handspockets. looks over shoulder.* um. yeah hii. *oh, humans. and /him/.*

ERIDAN: wwell it sure aint little thats for sure

SOLLUX: *turns his attention back to the board.*

JAKE: *Choosing this exact moment to re-appear from splendid isolation Jake shuffles amicably over to join the group, waving as he goes.* Well met, you lot! Whats all this were looking at then? A honking great big chart, did someone say?

ROXY: *turns around, lifting a hand to flap at Jake in a sloppy sort of wave* hey hey hey we were gonna go get u if we found anythin super juicy

ROXY: id say this constitutes

ROXY: *scans it for her own name*

JANE: *glances to jake, then back* It sure does, I think. Good timing, J.

ROXY: *shakes her head a little* not all these numbers add up to the same thing whats the diff here

JANE: Did the trolls get more points than us? *mental math time that seems to be the case*

JAKE: Well ill be dashed, im glad to be good and timely for this pulp-free edition of prime juice! *notices said trolls and opens his mouth again to say words and some of those words will be "mr erisol" feel free to jump in an interrupt.*

JAKE: *Please, please interrupt.*

ROXY: yeah but half of em are even more than the other trolls what gives *looks to trolls like pls. fill us in. we are but pink monkeys*

SOLLUX: *that voice. he would recognize that voice anywhere.*

SOLLUX: oh HELL no.

ERIDAN: *please, whatever god trolls recognize. please save eridan from jake english.*

ROXY: scusi

SOLLUX: *spots jake from the corner of his eye.* oh HELLLLL no.

ROXY: ey buddy calm down

JANE: Maybe it has something to do with that "special" thing? *tilts her head* I wonder what that is. *looks slowly over to the trio* Whaaaat is happening suddenly?

ERIDAN: *looks intently at the board instead of at sollux or jake because he might as well do some mental math too. sollux stop embarrassing yourself.*

JAKE: *Is the perfect picture of wounded confusion.* Steady on there, old bean.

ROXY: haha bean

ROXY: *looks at Eridan* u mind givin me an answer if hes gonna keep experiencin weird undeterminable whiplash

ERIDAN: yeah wwhy not

ERIDAN: unlike mustardblood ovver there ivve got a functionin thinkpan and wwhat its tellin me is

ERIDAN: highbloods got more points than lowwbloods

ERIDAN: wwhich means wwere fuckin better

ERIDAN: of course that also means wwere better than you humans but thats to be expected

ERIDAN: you just cant compete wwith a race fuckin CREATED to destroy

ROXY: *jaw actually clenches a little bit wow nice to meet you too bub*

SOLLUX: and look at where that'2 gotten u2.

JANE: *makes such a face* Well, then! What a great way to say hello.

SOLLUX: oh for the love of fuck, 2ERIIOU2LY?

SOLLUX: *it's back.*

SOLLUX: *nobody understands.*

JAKE: *scratches the back of his head and decides to skip any fond greetings for now maybe they're just both suffering from low spririts right now thats it - hey!* Oi! None of that now, you too! Be polite to the ladies, if you please.

SOLLUX: *i'm not crazy i swear.*

ERIDAN: wwhat

ERIDAN: i wwas answwerin the question

ERIDAN: wwith hard solid facts

ROXY: well we aint here to compete against u were here to play WITH u

JAKE: *tssking hard.*

ERIDAN: *glances at sollux like u ok*

ROXY: *squintin hard, but yeah wtf sollux* ok why do u keep yellin

ROXY: do u have an eyelash in ur eye

ROXY: swollen tastebud

ROXY: inappropriate itch

ERIDAN: *snorts, but otherwise wont speak up to make fun of sollux. yet.*

JANE: Roxy. *nudges her* That's not much better of a greeting.

ROXY: (sorry my jokes dip in quality when i find myself irked)

SOLLUX: let'2 ju2t go wiith thii2 wa2 the cherry on top of a biigge2t piile of hoofbea2t 2hiit ii've been 2erved iin a whiile.

SOLLUX: *that wasn't an explanation.*

SOLLUX: *it kind of was. in his head.*

ROXY: say whut

ROXY: ok HOW BOUT THIS

ROXY: lets play who da fuq is u

ROXY: im roxy *looks at jane like introduce urself pls follow my lead*

JANE: Good idea.

JANE: I'm Jane!

JANE: *everyone look at jake now*

ROXY: *looks*

JAKE: And they know me already! They are - were? They were my sprite during the game!

SOLLUX: *squints*

JAKE: Very helpful to me, was old mr erisol.

ROXY: oh UR the ones always flippin off inanimate objects

ERIDAN: *doesnt bother hiding his irritation* yeah thats us alright

SOLLUX: *p sure that's not helping my case right now.*

ERIDAN: and noww wwere entirely separate people

SOLLUX: let'2 keep iit that way.

ROXY: and ur actual names aaaare?

ERIDAN: agreed

ERIDAN: im eridan

SOLLUX: 2ollux. we 2poke briiefly earliier.

ROXY: *face falls a bit*

ROXY: o

ROXY: aloha

JAKE: Right, right! Glad to make youre renewed aquaintance then, new old chums!

ERIDAN: yeah nice to meet you all too

ERIDAN: *tone implies otherwise, of course.*

ROXY: *claps hands and faces board again ah yes thank u jake* lets get down to business

JANE: Fantastic. *looks back to the board, feelin the tension*

ERIDAN: *he would be more polite but 1) sollux and 2) being called mr erisol is GRATING*

JAKE: *SORRY DUDE* *claps his hands together* So erm. Chart? What do we make of it?

SOLLUX: 2o what'2 the deal wiith thii2 stat board anyway.

SOLLUX: look2 pretty 2traiight-forward, but ii mean WHY.

ROXY: what do u think the point of this thing is like if i get into a fist fight with somebody one point stronger than me am i gonna get my butt kicked despite having other higher numbers

ROXY: seems like this place might consider playin dirty like that

JANE: *puts a finger to her chin* Maaaaybe. But I think having other stats higher than the other person could still help.

JANE: Utilizing your strengths and stuff.

SOLLUX: iif you got iin a fii2t fiight wiith 2omebody, all of tho2e 2tat2 would play iintwo iit, 2o no.

SOLLUX: po22iible but not iimperatiively.

ROXY: i know that im sayin almost depends on how basic the structure of this whole freakshow is like

ROXY: how willing is THIS universe gonna be to break rules behind our backs nahmean

ROXY: 4 example

SOLLUX: waiit 2hiit, ii2 thii2 liike 2ome 2ort of fiightiing arena or 2omethiing?

SOLLUX: we're not goiing two fiight each other, are we?

ROXY: no i dont think thats the point

ROXY: i mean it COULD be but

JANE: *not listening, gumshoe-ing in her head*

ERIDAN: honestly this just looks like one of the things me and vvris used to do for campaigns

ROXY: why would slendy goad us to win shit back on multi player mode unless we were sposed to work together

ERIDAN: im not sure its really got an actual use other than that

ROXY: this is probs for ref at the most

JAKE: *Throwing the occasional glance over his shoulder at sollux and eridan as if they are his dearly beloved wards who have both stolen cookies from the cookie jar and who he is very disappointed in Jake edges in to get a closer look at the figures, silently mouthing his own statistics with a squint.*

SOLLUX: 2o what'2 the poiint.

JANE: *snaps her fingers* What if it's to help determine what games are too difficult for us on our own?

ROXY: that sounds about rite

SOLLUX: *does take note that aradia's stats are up on the board.*

ROXY: didnt he say -- *leans her hands on the slanted desk-like structure beneath the board*

ROXY: *looks down*

ROXY: faaaaaaceplam

ERIDAN: *surveys the board again, comparing stats to his. he's doing better than most others in the stamina department, at least.*

ROXY: guys

JANE: What?

SOLLUX: what.

ERIDAN: wwhat

ROXY: (wut)

ROXY: look

[As if triggered in answer to Jane's words, a nondescript metal panel on said desk slides down to reveal a small screen and a keypad. Neat!]

ROXY: im gonna go out on a limb here and say janeys right and it has to do w/ whatever this is

JANE: *leans to see the excellent new tech that's been revealed* Well, there we go.

JANE: Now, what exactly do we do with it?

SOLLUX: *takes a couple steps towards roxy and scans the screen. what's on the screen?*

ERIDAN: *well looks like hes gotta be close to the crowd. he edges closer so that he can see the screen*

[So far there is only one thing on the screen, and the only button that seems to work is "Select". If you so choose, you can press it to look up more information for the text box called simply in glowing purple font "Kingdom of Mushrooms".]

SOLLUX: okay thii2 ii2 fa2ciinatiing and all, but how do we actually get the2e reward2 or whatever and how do we know what we're playiing for.

ROXY: kingdom

ROXY: of

ROXY: mushrooms

SOLLUX: can't 2ay ii'm two terriibly iintere2ted iin a kiingdom of mu2hroom2.

ROXY: u must be a sad sad man

SOLLUX: ii'm not a very...

SOLLUX: fungii.

JANE: Oh.

SOLLUX: 

JANE: Oh my gosh.

ROXY: HA

JAKE: *Attempts not to crack up in the bg*

ERIDAN: *rolls his eyes. god. sollux. he was SO glad not to have those kinds of puns running through his head anymore.*

JANE: *don't... don't laugh that was a terrible joke. she snickers and oops that was a snort*

SOLLUX: *kind of snorts at his own joke. at least he made himself smile a little. yeah.*

ROXY: omg i like you wth *snickers OKAY OKAY BOARD*

ROXY: hmm

ROXY: ok so wat do we do we just put in our info and go thru there *points to other miraculous door*

ROXY: where the portals are

SOLLUX: *having to think about wizard statues wasn't exactly a walk in the park either >:(*

JANE: That seems like the way to go.

SOLLUX: agaiin, 2eem2 pretty 2traiight-forward.

ERIDAN: *wizard statues were the best ok you just have terrible taste*

ROXY: the intro to most games are p straight forward to start

ROXY: *pokes a button*

[There is a tiny beep, and the text box expands to reveal more words: 'Platformer, level: Easy. Minimum requirement: Stamina - 30 Strength - 10 Agility - 10 Intellect - 10 Special 0']

ROXY: *reads this over, glancing up at the board again*

ROXY: yea ok sso everyone can play the beginnin except uh

ROXY: that one guy at the bottom

ROXY: ....

ROXY: issat who i think it is

SOLLUX: fuck that guy.

ERIDAN: yes

ROXY: lol

JANE: *ew* Ew.

SOLLUX: *all of the ew.*

ERIDAN: just be glad you didnt havve to play the prevvious game wwith him

ERIDAN: wwell

ERIDAN: for the most part anywway

ROXY: was he a weirdie

ERIDAN: he ate sopor

JANE: He smelled so bad the last time I saw him. I hope he showers this time around.

ROXY: ate what???

ERIDAN: uh

ERIDAN: wwe havve recuperacoons filled wwith sopor

ERIDAN: so that wwe can actually fuckin sleep

ROXY: unsurprisngly unhelpful

ROXY: BUT ok

ERIDAN: wwoww

ROXY: well i dunno what a recuperacoon is

ERIDAN: beds i guess

JAKE: *whispered to himself* So wait... He ate bed linens?

ERIDAN: i guess

ROXY: someone call my strange addiction

JAKE: *Damn.*

JANE: *quiet giggles* No, please.

ROXY: ok BACK TO WAT U ASKED how do reward

JANE: If it doesn't say on this thing, maybe it says so on the other screens. Didn't Slendy mention another touchpad next to the game portals?

ROXY: yeah but wasnt that just to sign in so the lightybob goes on???

[More text scrolls into view unnoticed: 'If requirements are met, accept conditions and log in at the relevant game terminal. From there, options for rewards can be chosen.']

ROXY: *squintin tarantino*

JANE: *you fricker*

SOLLUX: no, ii'm pretty 2ure 2he'2 riight.

ROXY: eh?

SOLLUX: 2omethiing or another about other 2creen2.

ROXY: okok hold on

ROXY: ima just

ROXY: *presses the button and agrees to conditions I MEET THE REQS SO UH*

[At the press of the button another holoboard appears on the opposite side with a much louder beep, appearing to expand out of nothing. Rather than statistics, it displays a mostly blank (for now) chart, with spaces for player names, games, objectives, and time.]

ROXY: thar she blows

JANE: I guess we can play now?

ROXY: i guess so o:

ROXY: well i mean i think u still gotta choose a game and so somethin about the rewards but i think its activated in general

JAKE: *mumbled assent*

ROXY: we should probs be tellin ppl about this

ROXY: where the fuck is dirk

ROXY: did he get lost in the doorway portal

JAKE: *shrugs politely very helpful* Search me!

ROXY: what is he in ur pocket or somethin

JAKE: Not on your nelly!

JANE: Maybe he found a drawing program on his laptop and got distracted. What a dork.

ROXY: no he said he couldnt find mspaint

JAKE: Hah... The very idea of it.

ROXY: no phallic imagery 4 dirk

JANE: Well then, he must have fallen asleep.

ROXY: :(

ERIDAN: *ok this is probably where eridan should take his leave. this is getting too disgustingly human friendshippy.*

ROXY: o wait

ROXY: i was gonna make an example before

ROXY: but got hecka sidetracked by other important sshit

JANE: Yes, you were.

JAKE: Then proceed, if youd be so kind!

ROXY: so me and janey made a groundbreaking discovery earlier

JAKE: Go on.

ERIDAN: *ok maybE eridan will stay for this 'groundbreaking discovery'*

ROXY: theres like invisible force fields keepin us from fallin into space in those rooms

ROXY: i conducted a very reliable experiment

JANE: *stick around, eridan, you know you love gettin reacquainted with these unfocused pink peeps*

JAKE: ...Tell me you didnt.

ROXY: ....

ROXY: :3c

JANE: By reliable, she means she fell off the side.

JAKE: Of course you blooming well did.

ROXY: anyway

ROXY: ANNYWAAY

JAKE: *facepalms politely*

ROXY: how do we know that one day theyre not just gonna disappear is what im sayin

ROXY: like if we get all confident in not bein able to fall off the edge

ROXY: and we go whoopdeedooo oH SHIT IM SPACE ROCK

ROXY: then yeah

ROXY: when we were talkin secret rule breaking

SOLLUX: *just kind of standing off to the side again, watching the scene. he is getting increasingly distressed by the fact that his LISP is back on top of everything else. he's just gonna. shut up for now. maybe even step away once they're done theorizing. he makes a mental note to come back and check this shit out on his own at a later time. or at least when there's less people around.*

ROXY: bc when have we EVER known these kinda places to be strictly linear

JANE: Maaaaybe we just shouldn't abuse the power of not falling into space.

ROXY: it was an example

ROXY: tho ur rite

JAKE: Well, advising everyone to not go and chuck themselves off into the vastness is a good start. We can let dirk know when were catching him up on everything else!

ROXY: *nods firmly, and looks at the trolls, particularly sollux* and when we let everybody else know we can get to playin

ROXY: and winnin

JANE: *so curious about what the heck kingdom of mushrooms is* We should start telling people. The sooner we start beating, the sooner we get out.

ERIDAN: *oh, good, this is done. he'll come back at a later time, hopefully with one or two people in tow, and learn some more stuff about this nonsense.*

ROXY: okay judgin by the lack of response i think its safe to say BREAK

ROXY: go team go *lets disperse*

JAKE: *Glancing back at the stat board with a slowly worsening feeling of consternation he pipes up* Hang on a minute chapesses, but uh. I rather fancy theres a doozy of a mistake been made here.

ROXY: ?????

JANE: *pauses in her steps* Hm? What's wrong?

ERIDAN: *hahah oh god jake saw. time to abscond.*

SOLLUX: *pointedly avoiided making eye contact with roxy. she /knows/. is probably gonna stick around a bit longer to have a closer look. probably.*

JAKE: Yes! I'm not that, er. I'm not- *fidgets* I dont believe I'm anywhere near that much faster than the two of you!

JAKE: Not to forget! I thought we were missing a bod?

JAKE: *gestures back* Seems like weve got the full set there.

ROXY: *scans the list again, glancing to sollux once more oh the guilt is obvious* well yeah

SOLLUX: *stiffens up a bit. why thank you jake.*

ROXY: because shes gonna be playin soon with the rest of us

SOLLUX: yeah.

SOLLUX: 2he ii2.

JAKE: *always a pleasureee* Oh yes! How silly of me, naturally thats it.

ROXY: *shall i try for a small reassuring smile*

SOLLUX: *probably wouldn't notice anyway at this point.*

ROXY: *had to try anyway*

ROXY: that it for now??

SOLLUX: 2ure.

JANE: *smiles also cause hey that person isn't gone forever* I guess so.

JAKE: *Not quite his usual chipper self he nods and tries for a salute.* Copy that, pink leader.

SOLLUX: *you guys don't know that for a fact.*

ROXY: ok everybody go locate a buddy or two i guess *glances at jake and for some reason wants to grimace but wont do anything but smile back*

ROXY: *yes we do slowlux*

SOLLUX: *assumptions. we don't even know what we're playing for yet. i don't want a fish on a fork spear. i want her back.*

JANE: *we'll get her back, grumpy butt. that's a promise*

JAKE: *Nods and goes off to retrieve his com device* Right-o! Ill inform the troops.
