From the cancelled story game. In the pulp scfi tradition.
Pungent was cringing in F's office after failing his last mission.
"Pungent you excretable cretin" yelled F "You failed again - no Gizzard from Lizzard. How are we supposed stop intereverthing theft? Get out of here!!!!"
Asparagus Pungent, head hung low, left the office.
Disintering himself via the secret exit, he turned left down Nowhere St. towards his domicile. "Darn it!" He thought, "My residence isn't mine, SBD (his nickname for his former wife) got it during the divorce, where am I going to go?"
Mean while Stringbean entered F's office via the telport door and said "F, I successfully retrieved the Flatiron Gizmo from the Techno's secret lab. Now, maybe we can lay smooth the wrinkles in the multiverse and keep better track"
F, who was now calm. said "Good work Stringbean, we needed a win. Hmm, by the way what DID you see in Asp anyway? I know you are now divorced."
Stringbean didn't answer - just turned her head, to hide a wicked grin and the red creeping up her tanned neck. She thought "Cheeky B*****d". Turning away she asked "Next Assignment?"
F thought a moment and said "See if you can find the Gizzard and bring it back, Asp failed again."
"Ok" she replied and left via the telport door.
Pungent realized he had no ready cash to get Pundit out of doggy jail. So he went to the Beetlejuice Bank ATM, did all that entry stuff and then prayed on his knees that money would come. Pungent was ecstatic when money spued out.
Walking jauntily to the pound Pungent actually avoided several Lizzards in drag waiting to kidnap him at his former house.
Pungent entered the pound paid Pundits fine and left.
Pungent ask "How did they treat you Pundit"
"As well as could be expected" replied Pundit "but some Lizzards came round and tried to bribe me with some paradigms." "Which I took, I told them the location of your house knowing that it wasn't your domicile any more."
Meanwhile back at the house the Lizzards were getting impatient, flicking tougue.
