Miscellaneous Street - The Soap Opera

[F. King Daniel]

Daniel has worked it out and decided that he and Jenee can (just about) afford a baby.

He numbly clears away the remains of the food he's been sharing the room with for hours and hours, and staggers outside. No sign of Jenee, which is annoying since a very important question has popped into his head. He grabs his phone and, sure to use full words, sends her a text...

IS IT MINE?

Daniel stares down at his phone, awaiting the answer...

... probably.

Jenee walks up behind Daniel and wraps her arms around him. "If not, we can always make another one."

I'll make an appointment at kirsten187's clinic for a parernity test as soon as it's open.

Hey, we are... umm... exclusive, right? Since the whole proposal thing, at least?

...right?

 

[Miss Chicken]

No, no, no.

Don't get tested by Kirsten.

Wait until the baby is born and then go the Jerry Springer Show and find out the result of the paternity test through them. Everyone in the neighbourhood can watch you on the show.

 

[Flashover]

...at the bookstore...

"--that's the last crate. Do you need any help stocking the shelves?"

...right?

Yes, of course we've been exclusive since the proposal - since before the proposal. Not long before the proposal, but before the proposal nonetheless - at least, on my end.

Besides, the other one is yours, so does it really matter who's this one is? I mean ..., aside from biology ... does it really matter consider our relationship before now?

 

[Flashover]

...at the bookstore...

"you feel that R.J.? Romance in the air. Someone somewhere is being all emo and sappy. Blllurgh-ach-pttb. If anyone needs me I'm testing my Unstoppable Giant Robot down at the water treatment plant."

 

[Jenee]

BTW, Jenee, are you missing a child? My last few head counts have come up with 7 kids, and I could swear I only have 6. Yours must be the one who washes regularly and won't touch lentil nut loaf.

Totally forgot to respond to this ...

Thank you very much, Hippie Lady, I was ... semi-worried about him. ... sorry about the lentil nut loaf thing, I can't get him to eat anything, either.

 

[Captain Ice]

Thank goodness for my back up stock at the U-Store-It location in Arkham.

That could be potentially dangerous. They're currently evacuating Arkham and preparing to derail a runaway freight train

 

[RJDiogenes]

Damn it. I really need a place like this.

...at the bookstore...

"--that's the last crate. Do you need any help stocking the shelves?"

Well, the bleeding has mostly stopped, the pain from the tentacle welts has subsided and no major bones were broken, but I could probably still use some assistance. I still get a little dizzy when I stand up.

 

[Deranged Nasat]

...I could probably still use some assistance. I still get a little dizzy when I stand up.

That's the beer. Drank it too quickly, I reckon. Mumble....

(*Phew*)

I see your point (*hugs Jenee while mushy soap opera music plays*)

 

[kirsten187]

Daniel, my clinic is now open for you to make an appointment whenever you wish. That goes for the rest of you too (Kirsten wonders if she should do this....)

Miss Chicken - I'm a doctor, not a talk show host.

 

[kirsten187]

My clinic is on Central, along with the other businesses.

 

[Captain Ice]

*Arrives back in town with more clues as to the wherabouts of Mr. Hoffa only to find two packages on his porch.*

This first one is for some doctor. Must be in that new clinic across the street. I'll just take the package over and take her a sandwich and some pasta salad or something here.

The other is addressed to the Hippie Lady.

*Picks up both packages and walks into the deli, makes a sandwich and packages some pasta salad. Grabs the first package and heads across the street with the sandwich, package, and salad.*

 

[Flashover]

Well since I haven't gotten an answer about starting my small factory I guess I'll set up RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET.

*sets up gigantic rubber molding press, runs pipes and wires*

 

[Mary Ann]

Hippy Lady sees Ice approaching her house with a package. She wonders if she has time to "borrow" Leo from the Crazy Cat Lady...

 

[Miss Chicken]

*sets up gigantic rubber molding press, runs pipes and wires*

No use asking us. You will have to go downtown and ask the planning authorities.

However myself, and no doubt others including Hippy Lady, will protest the setting up of your factory so close to our nice homes.

The Crazy Cat Lady chains herself to the bulldozer that is being used to construct the factory.

Maybe you could set it up at the very end of Neutral Avenue well beyond even the trailer park?

 

[Mary Ann]

^ Factories can't be set up in the middle of the road. That's bad feng shui! You don't want negative energy eminating from the staff toilets, do you?

*puts flowers in her hair, positions crystals in a Mystical configuration and chains herself next to CCL*

Wait... when did I get a bulldozer?

Now are you talking about Technology Road? Fantastic, I'll pack all this up *shooop* and go set up over there.

By the way, I'll be manufacturing stuff out of biomass derived polymers. In otherwords... plastic made from tree-sap and milk.

Everything is powered by this arcane artifact I borrowed from R.J. so there is no pollution either.

 

[RJDiogenes]

^^ Just be sure to replace the tentacle filter every 30 days.

That's the beer. Drank it too quickly, I reckon. Mumble....

Guess I need a little hair of the dog....

 

[Flashover]

*walks into the bar*


KRANG!!! "Son of a--- my head!!! Ow ow ow ow ow... who put this bar in front of the pub?!"

...walks into the pub and sits down.
