Miscellaneous Street - The Soap Opera

*wanders into the bookshelf and picks up a random tome*


Interesting... :eek:

*picks up another tome* I had no idea you could even DO that with a--- jepers is that a tire pump?! :eek:


*spots the owner*

"Ahem. Do you have a copy of Wiggams Guide To Boiling Non-Newtonian Fluids? I need it for a horrific prank I want to pull on a classmate over at the University."
 
"Yes, I have two used copies. It was banned in Texas because the author voted for Jimmy Hoffa. This one here was actually saved from a book burning by an undercover operative of an organization I belong to called Save Our Books. SOB for short. Twenty bucks."
 
Jenee finds herself wide awake at 3 AM. Daniel is sleeping soundly (taking up most of the bed), so Jenee quietly heads to the kitchen, laptop in hand, and starts some coffee. After scrounging up a couple of yesterday's muffins, she opens the computer and scours the headlines.

... Hmmm, nice to see the Tea Party has gone down in flames. and with the Zeitgeist Party getting more and more offices around the world, one can't help feeling we're on the edge of a brave new world.
 
A couple of hours later, Daniel gets up for his nightly wee (and he's only 27. He calculates needing 11 trips by the time he's forty). Unfortunately, he'd somehow missed cleaning up an oily patch just outside the bedroom door the day before, slips, and goes crashing down the stairs...

"Uhhhh-uhhhhh-uhhhhhh!" says the tangled, broken mass, followed by a somewhat relieved "Ahhhhhhhh.":ack:
 
Tora Ziyal peers into her view-thingy for the first time in months, observing the chaos in her former home.

Life on Vulcan has been so much calmer, so much more logical. She is picking up some Vulcan ways, and the love of her life is developing a delightful, dry sense of humor. She is so content here! And grateful, right now, for the high quality of Vulcan medical care.

There's so much going on in Trekbbsville, she doesn't even try to figure it all out. But she does notice a couple huge kittens running about, seemingly w/o supervision. Those must be the liger babies!

She shoots off an interspace txt msg to MissChicken: STILL INTERESTED IN KITTEN. IF ONE IS AVAILABLE, WOULD MAKE BRIEF TRIP BACK TO MEET. HOPE EVERYONE'S WELL.

"Oh, and they were eating meat together. MLB took her veganity!"

:guffaw: Nice one, Daniel!

Daniel realizes he landed on his bonoculars. He dazedly pulls them out from under him and looks though, out the re-repaired front window and into the sky. In a one-in-a-million fluke, from his position in a heap at the bottom of the stairs and his trajectory looking up, he sees Tora Ziyal peering back all the way from Vulcan!:) Luckily, his phone is in his pyjama pocket, and wasn't broken:
HEY TORA ZIYAL WE MISS U!! FEEL FREE TO DROP BY FOR A VISIT ANY TIME. WE'RE WISHING YOU ALL THE BEST! :-)
 
* While watching a Science Channel documentary on the high quality of health care on the Planet Vulcan, RJD thinks of Tora and hopes that she is happy there and has everything she needs. *
 
His phone battery depleted, and Jenee oblivious to his calls for help (damn laptop headphones!), Daniel manages to open the front door and drag himself into the street.

Surely some good samaritan will come along and call an ambulance. he thinks, before passing out...

In the middle of the road.
 
Jenee looks up at the clock and realizes a day and a half has gone by. "What is with the time dilations here?" She leaves the kitchen set on getting in the shower when she notices a puddle of ...water ... at the bottom of the stairs with a trail to the open front door. "What has Daniel done now?" Before she reaches the door, she's already on the phone calling an ambulance.
 
Miss Chicken texts back to Tora Ziyal - 1 liger still available, I call him Dodger. Will not be offended if you change his name.
 
MISS C, WILL ARRIVE SUNDAY. IF WE CONNECT AS HIS SIRE (STRIPE? CAN'T REMEMBER) AND I DID, WILL ADOPT. IS HE WEANED AND READY 2 GO, OR WILL I NEED TO COME BACK L8R 4 HIM?

Stripes is his mother, Leo is his father. He is fully weaned and ready to go.
 
His experiences since coming to Misc Street have caused Daniel to develop a bit of a phobia of hospitals and ambulances. Upon hearing the sirens, Daniel regains conciousness and drags himself into a bush to hide. Then he passes out again.
 
Daniel might think he's well hidden, but he's left a trail even a blind man could follow - not to mention his feet sticking out from the hedges.

Jenee goes to him and tells him it's ok and she will be with him in the ambulance and the entire time at the hospital. She hopes he isn't too angry when he wakes up.
 
With Jenee there for moral support the whole time, her hand held in a vice-like grip, Daniel gets fixed up at the hospital. Having bruised his hip and pulled muscles he didn't even know he had, he'll be on crutches for a few days.

Now back at home, Daniel is impressing Soda by pretending his crutches are giant machine guns.

"Taka-taka-taka-taka-taka-taka!!"
