don't worry neko, something tells me that he's only still around because in the end he's the one who will save the day (along with hugo and lefty, my intrepid smart socks, obviously).

after that he will of course live happily ever after, in the briny depths.

right, pshrynk ? ahem. RIGHT ?

Mrs. Myatake makes her own squid puffs and sauerkraut. Don't you think the Mister is bringing it home to her as a reconciliation gift? Think about it.

Patricia · 11-14-2008, 05:46 PM

And don't let Hogo and Lefty anywhere near Thpud the nip-addicted cat: she'll only chew them up. However, I could see Thpud and VR getting together, in one of those opposites-attract sort of relationship. She only needs the love of a good dog in order to give up her addictive behaviour, and come to terms with living in Wisconsin, in the house of a very strange man indeed.

I'm not really going to point fingers, here, but it was someone from Central Casting with the initals Nekokami who sent the squid rather than the gun. I mean, being violentlly opposed to violence is good, and all, but we gotta make do with what we got to work with, then, eh?

Harv and Vivaldi sat in their seats, frustration palpable between them. They felt the call to action, but were stymied at every move. They needed something to turn the tide. Sure, the squid looked more and more like it was not actually on anyone's side but its own, but Myatake still controlled it. And Harv was fairly certain that shooting off the flare gun into the cargo bay would have resulted in more smoke than he was willing to put up with. Especially smoke involving parts of the Goose being strewn around the Pacific in a distressing fashion.

"We need a plan, Viv."

"How about we send off for a mail order catapult and launch ourselves after the spies as they run away?"

"Um. While that might sound like a good plan on the surface, I'm not too sure about the quality of goods one can get in the mail."

"Just a thought."

Another clunk signalled somehting heavy being put into the cargo hold.

Hugo and Lefty snuck through the floor plates into the cockpit.

"How do you know where we're going, Hugo?"

"When we were staying with Taylor, I snuck a peek at his library. He had a set of blueprints for a Grumman Goose."

"Wow. He had everything in that library."

"Everything but the Woola Sutra."

"What's that?"

"Um. Sort of an instruction manual. For knitting."

"Are there pictures? I'm not too good with books unless there are pictures."

"Oh, yeah! There are pictures." Hugo paused, briefly lost in happy reverie. He shook himself out and continued to move forward. "We've got to convince the big Wearer to let us help."

They skittered up into the cockpit, much to the surprise of Harv and Vivaldi, who said, "Just a thought. Holy crap!"

"Hey! It takes a lot of experience and living to get this holey, mac!" said Hugo.

"Hi!" said Lefty.

The big Wearer and the the Worrier looked at them, dumbfounded.

"Those socks are moving! On their own!" said Vivaldi.

"I've had sock that did that," said Harv.

"Yeah, but they stopped after you washed them. These guys look clean already. And I think they're trying to talk to us. Socks don't talk!"

"Neither do dogs, most of the time. I'm just sayin'."

"Look," said Hugo, "We can debate the reality of talking socks another time. We ahve to do something to save the beautiful Wearer! I've got a plan..."

Well, perhaps it will be an ending where the two buddies link arms (paws?) and walk away from the plane saying, "This could be the start of a beautiful friendship."

I don't think I'll be able to look at anything wool and knitted without thinking about Hugo, Lefty, and the Woola Sutra.

Oh gees, how am I ever going to be able to wear my wool sweater without blushing...or laughing?

yeah. that's sort of a recurring theme in all our ongoing sagas. you should see some of the early episodes of the the Adventures of Vera. pear tarte has never been the same since then.

pshrynk · 11-14-2008, 07:26 PM

Harv and Vivaldi watched, jaws agape as the pair of socks, well mostly the rougher looking of the two, outlined their plan. The socks gave a little bow and disappeared through the floor plating.

"Did anything about that strike you as unusual?" aksed Vivaldi after a few minutes had passed.

"Socks that could move on their own and seemed to be communicating a rather complex plan, you mean?"

"Nah. They were obviously smart wool. I mean, they were clearly a matched pair, but one was nearly pristeen and the other had that safety pin and what was clearly a tattoo on his heel. I mean, aren't they supposed to look alike?

"And how do you tattoo wool?"

"I was in the Air Force. I've seen stranger things."
