It is? Has anyone told pshrynk, and explained what "family show" means as he's probably, in a professional capacity, been shown some pretty fu...umm...oyed-up families.

Isn't that what the pshyrnking one was trying to do. Both metaphorically and physically...

After what he's been through I think the yellow would be all around, and possibly another colour as well....

I suppose he could have said "Drat! I thought my agent had got me out of this gig. Still, could be worse. It could have been a shower and not a drop..."

A smoke monster with a duck and a cover? Were you looking for a hat like cover, a bed spread like cover, or something along the lines of a doily? The duck will have to be appropriated from central casting...

Adrian was sitting at his "desk", playing with his executive toys when the door burst open and a very peeved pshrynk came flouncing through.

"What the Hell? One of the main characters dies after visiting that little island of yours? Who's going to *garbled transmission* I'd like to know?"

Adrian quickly picked up the script and thumbed through it. "Eek?"

"No, the socks are on the other side of the room *garbled transmission* and couldn't possibly do it. And before you ask, the Pilot can't do it, either, since he's passed out."

"Ook?"

"Oh, that would make a lot of sense! Hilda *garbled transmission* when it was her that *missing treanscription*, now wouldn't it?"

"Oook!"

"You'll be busy trying to pull the head off *garbled and missing phrases*. No can do."

"Eek."

"I was hoping you'd see it my way. Nice rower toy, by the way."

"Ook."


In an alleyway behind the casino, there was a sharp Bzzt-Pop! and the smell of ozone. A body materialized in thin air four feet off the ground and fell with a thump.

LeTerrible sat up and said, "Oy!"

The squid reached out and patted him absently on the head.
My apologies pshrynk but I felt I had to rewrite that.

Well, to all of you who liked Leterrible: He's baaaaack!!!

The MC dragged Leterrible in the wash room, left him there and headed straight back out to the main room. Leterrible chuckled as he thought of the panic going through the man’s head. He HAD to save the evening, at whatever the cost. He could just picture him running from table to table picking up all the bowls before anyone else ate any of their content. With that he just readjusted his garments and... there was a crack of light and he felt himself being pulled backwards. The peculiar thing about it was that as he backed away he could see the back of himself as if he was leaving his body. And then he was in the bubble again with Adrian’s hands on both his shoulders. About to protest he heard Montsnmags’ voice saying:

“Do not move... Adrian is performing a... temporal paradox. You have to wait... until the connection is stable... so time will not bring... you back in its... regular stream.”

Leterrible saw his other self leave the room. Instantly the time machine started rising up through the material constituting the hotel. Once on the roof it moved forward to the street. Down there he could see his other self running with... yes, it was Elke, some tall British fellow and three Cuban Police officers, running after him. His blood rushed as he instinctively knew there would be trouble. And there it was, the Cuban Police were shooting in the direction of the fugitive... Even with Elke trying to stop them, Leterrible was hit in the back and tumbled flat faced in the dirt. The pursuant police finally reaching him, Elke bent down to touch his shoulder. He stood right back up, gesticulating at the officers, obviously discontent. Monstnmags chose that moment to speak.

“Queen Zelda authorized... us to save your life... In exchange there will be... other tasks to perform. This is not negotiable.”

Leterrible willed to protest but Monstnmags immediately cut him off.

“Your daughter Vera fell... in love with a young man called... Harvey Wallbanger and will not... be returning to Mobilita Republica. You... will be mandated... to return with... The ‘Stone of Eternity’. You still will not... be allowed to ... become a Mobilita Republica... citizen.
While you sail... to the island, please remember this. If you get... tempted to flee with the... gem, be aware that you... will be followed until... it is delivered. We will make sure that you do.”

Adrian growled a warning as to insure of Montsnmags resolve.

“Our Queen is... not insensitive to your... aspirations. You will become an associate of ours... as a facilitator. Mobilita Republica is... a territory without resources. Your future will be... to find material, goods and tooling... to maintain a level of... ease throughout our island.
At the same time, you will... be helped... financially to continue your venture... with the commercial introduction... of your invention of... pressed wood. You shall call it particle board... Adrian told us that coming events... will supplement the world... with dire need for it.”

Through all of this, the night had crept in. The hotel neon lights, the only ones Havana had now burned the front street with bright colours. Preparations ready, all players seated, the poker game of all time was about to start...

On a serious note: You know Elke would have taken that bullet meant for you if he could have...right?

On a less serious note: Particle board!
