Miscellaneous Street - The Soap Opera
- Thread starter Miss Chicken
- Start date
Daniel, following the alien, returns to the appartment above the coffee shop. The alien calmly rejoins his friend in playing with lego.
Well... I'm not sure if "playing" is right word. They've made some sort of lego machine - it's 4-foot tall and packed with moving parts, which is especially impressive since we only have regular lego, not that fancy "technic" stuff.
The lego machine starts emitting a very low hum, more felt than heard. It's a bit like standing next to the speakers at a concert, just without the music or noise. The TV's, radios and phones all down Misc Street and Neutral Avenue go dead. Watches stop. Cars refuse to start. Lights and heat go out (again).
The lego machine carries on humming...

*Ice is about to knock on the Hippie Lady's door when he notices something flying overhead.*
My god.....
It's a gigantic Rubik's cube. And it's flashing something in Morse code....
G...i...v...e...new word...u...s...new word...y...o...u...r...new word...l...e...e..d..e...r
I have a very bad feeling about this...
Mental note....must buy more of that wonderful bread from the Hippie Lady...

DANIEL!!! I turn my back for 5 minutes ...
"Did I not just close the door to the attic? Do you think I was just playing?"
MLB walks back out into the street. Since the aliens asked for lieder, he thought he had better give them what they want. So he holds up a stack of old record albums he found in his attic...A tractor beam lifts the records from his grasp and pulls them up into the mothership.
The Crazy Cat Lady has become the leader of the Alien Resistance Fellowship (ARF).
*A hail of broken vinyl comes from the sky.*
The ship is signalling again.
B...r...i...n...g...new word...y...o...u...new word...l...e...i...t...e...r..stop.
Bring your leiter? Oh, Bring us your Leiter!

Hippy Lady thinks MLB's method of disposing of his 1970s K-Tel vinyl collection was a bit crass, and may have forced the aliens to attack. Thankfully they merely littered.
Captain Ice is back for more bread and, erm, stuffing, is he? The gentlemen in this neighbourhood are certainly friendly, even during an alien invasion featuring a Rubik's cube. Any hostile Care Bears about?

The Crazy Cat Lady all of a sudden recalls how the aliens were defeated in the movie Mars Attack. She digs through the old 78 records she inherited from her mother and places Indian Love Call on her record player. She opens up her windows and hangs her speakers out the window and turn the volume up.
WHEN I'M CALLING YOU-OU-OU-OU-OU-OU.
Edited to say - The sad thing is I was subjected to the song right though my childhood as it was one of my Mum's favourites, along with Ghost Riders in the Sky (version sung by Vaughan Munroe), Paint Your Wagon ( Lee Marvin) and Running Bear (Johnny Preston)

^That sounds agonizing
.
The lego alien cubeship is unfazed by the nasty music. It seems to be airtight and thus the aliens inside aren't hearing it.
The same can't be said for the people of Misc Street, though. Several have collaped in seizures since Crazy Cat Lady began her attack. Daniel, blood pouring from his ears and nose, begs CCW to stop. "It's... not...working..." he gasps, falling to his knees.
The lego alien cubeship floats over to Daniel's old place and unleashes the cliche Independance Day death ray, blowing Daniel's former abode to smithereens.
Before passing out under the pressure of CCW's musical assault, Daniel wonders if that new guy ever actually moved in...

MLB decides it's time to bring out the heavy artillery. He puts on a Lady Gaga album and turns his stereo on full-blast.
The aliens hover overhead for a few seconds, then their ship violently self destructs. There's no piece of it left that's bigger than a matchstick. The same goes for MLB's stereo.
Fortunately, his cellphone is intact, so he calls for a doctor to treat his fellow townspeople.

Coming out of the bookstore, RJD is reading from an old book. "I found some information," he says. "According to this: 'The Rubik's Cubans do everything in threes.'"
Just as RJ opens his mouth to speak, Jenee notices another cube heading toward Miscellaneous Street.
Realizing she has no other choice, Jenee heads for her attic.
On second thought, she heads back to the street, wakes Daniel enough to half walk half dragged up to the attic. "No, Daniel, this isn't going to be a sex thing".

"Whats... in... attic?" asks a bloody and groggy Daniel. "Where's... Soda...? Last... saw... playing... lego... with... aliens..."
Soda is fine - for the moment.
"Here, take this" Jenee hands Daniel a pill, drags him to the sink and pours a glass of water. Then she drags him up to the attic and sits him in front of what looks like a bunch of boxes stacked up, some two high, but some in the back are three and four high. Slowly, Daniel notices the boxes changing shape and form.
Jenee is moving things around on the other side of the attic and suddenly the wall moves aside and reveals a secret chamber.
Walking back to Daniel, she begins point at things on the boxes that now clearly resemble a control console. "When I say so, hit this button. Then, follow the directiosn on this monitor."

"Erm... okay. What's going on? When exactly were you gonna tell me about all this?"
"But what about a peaceful solution? What would Captain Picard do? If we make peace, and gain access to their super lego technology we could cure disease! Bring an end to world hunger! Journey to the stars!"
