Backdated to the 4th

[After some thought, it's occurred to them that this is something worth talking about with the rest of their tangled mess of a team.]

A question for those of you who've listened to the kidnapped parties sing: did you notice anything strange about how you felt, whether physically or emotionally?

Your own misery or complicated feelings at your loved ones being kidnapped and used as performing monkeys not counting. I'm talking about something else.

[avidita]

Ha. I doubt it.

Still, it is a nice thought.

[woomy]

More plans of attack are needed.

[avidita]

And we need more information.

We've already been here for a good while... I wonder when that pair will contact everyone again. We can't stay like this for long. People will get reckless, for one thing.

[woomy]

I hope it's soon. We're gonna lose our element of surprise if we're discovered.

[avidita]

We'll only get discovered if people are imbeciles who give us away.

And they better not.

[woomy]

... Like a someone who has grey skin and horns? I don't think he's done anything stupid, but he's kinda stuck inside.

[ It's a little harder to hide that than it is to hide tentacles. She feels bad for her roommate. ]

[avidita]

That... could be explained away. This place has some rather eccentric fashion and social circles.

I think I know who you're talking about. His horns are small, aren't they? And rather nub-like.

[woomy]

Some of the people's fashion is really weird. But some's really fresh too. I like the colors.

[avidita]

That reminds me, how have you been fitting in? Any problems?

[woomy]

I got a job at an arcade, and as long as I have my hat, everyone thinks I'm a kid with weird teeth and likes candy that turns your mouth green.

[avidita]

Good plan. Generally speaking, at a certain age, you're more allowed to get away with outrageous fashion and looks... So it all works out very neatly for you.

[woomy]

But... letting my tentacles hang outside of my hat is still a no go. Even if I miss them swinging around as I move.

[avidita]

You'll just have to be patient until you get back to wherever you're staying. So long as you remember to keep the blinds closed, anyway.

[Damn nosy neighbors who look in other apartments' windows.]

[woomy]

Yeah.... It's the only place I can really swim too. I can't let my skills dry up.

[avidita]

The ink thing, right?

[woomy]

Even though it disappears on its own, I don't think the people here will like me shooting ink everywhere.

[avidita]

Yeah, that's usually seen as vandalism and would get you arrested. Something we should all try to avoid.

[woomy]

We don't want to rescue a rescuer. That'd be silly.

[ Little did they know... ]

[avidita]

It'd be annoying. [An annoyed mutter.] Anyway, it seems you have things covered.

I'll keep you updated on the radio situation.

[woomy]

Okay. I'll keep you updated too. Stay fresh!
