Miscellaneous Street - The Soap Opera

I just saved the universe
Nice job on that, by the way.

Returning from getting more party supplies, Daniel comes across this week's TBBS Times newspaper. Some recognition for his good deeds, perhaps? The headline reads SEXISM ARGUMENT CONTINUES. The rest of the front page articles are about the Superbowl anthem cock-up (still), and advertisements for the deli and free liger cubs. Daniel looks through the whole paper - no mention of him having saved this and every other universe. At all.
Well, those events have been erased from the timeline. Only we remember, because it's a staple of timeline changes that the people involved in making the changes remember the things that have now never happened.

Daniel stomps into the kitchen and unpacks the shopping, mumbling profanity the whole time. On the side of the milk carton he just unpacked, there's a picture of Nasat with MISSING written underneath.
:(
 
^Makes a nice change from zombies and aliens and vampires and whatever else we've been plagued with lately, doesn't it? At this rate we're going to run out of storyline soon. ;)
 
Daniel recieves a phone call to say that the expensive resteraunt he'd booked a month ago for a special Valentine's Day dinner with Jenee has mysteriously vanished off the face of the planet (said disappearence coinciding with a certain recent bout of time travel, universe saving and timeline resetting). Therefore his reservation, and dinner, is cancelled:(.

Plan B: Pizza.
 
Because Jenee knows how Daniel thinks, she ordered a beautiful form-fitting red dress with speghetti straps. However, when she opened to closet to take it out ... it has mysteriously vanished.

I know he made reservations for someplace nice, I just don't think sweat pants and a long-sleeve t-shirt will go over well ...
 
"Plans have changed; we're ordering pizza."

(*Yelps of joy from pizza-mad Soda*)

Daniel puts on the news...
And in today's headline, several mysterious disappearences are being reported since an unexplained temporal shockwave engulfed the earth a few days ago. Some people claim to remember an invasion by alternate-reality duplicates beforehand, but most are dismissing those claims as a mass hallucination. Currently missing are: The Eiffel Tower, William Shatner, Deranged Nasat, The International Space Station, several small buisnesses, various personal items, David Hasselhof and Luxemburg. If you have any information on the whereabouts of any of these missing places or persons, please contact...

"It's a brave new world" Daniel says, rather pointlessly, before turning over to an old Simpsons Halloween episode. "I've seen this one a dozen times, dammit - show a new one!":mad:

In honor of Valentine's Day, MLB knocks on Hippy Lady's front door and hands her a dozen roses.

O-Dog, perched on MLB's shoulders, emits a howl and a burp.

^Why, thank you! Would you like to come in? I've baked a lentil and chestnut loaf in the shape of a heart. Keep the children busy while I finish up in the kitchen, will you? No, no, my darling offspring, MLB is not a target. Put down that bow and arrow!
 
It isn't fair.

The only person who ever gives the Crazy Cat Lady a Valentine Day present is Deranged Nasat and he is missing.

CCL wonders what she needs to change about herself to make her attractive to anyone who isn't a homeless hobo.
 
* As he walks down Misc Street, RJD is suddenly attacked by by a flying baby with wings who is armed with a crossbow. Dodging arrows, he flees back to the Bookstore and slams shut the door. *
 
MLB is thrilled that Hippy Lady has invited him in! :adore:

The kids sit enraptured while MLB performs his calypso version of Rammstein's "Links 2 3 4" accompanied by O-Dog's madcap dance routine.
 
After a long day and a resonable Pizza, Jenee retires to the bedroom... to find lit candles everywhere, soothing music playing and Daniel waiting with a tub of massage oil.

"Happy Valentine's day:hugegrin:. Now prepare for hot oily Valentine's Day lovin'!":devil:
 
You are so sweet. What was my life before you?

Jenee jumps on/at Daniel with wild abandon - hoping little Soda has already fallen asleep.
 
The next morning...

THUMP!

Daniel wakes up after sliding off the bed. He's cold, wet and slippery. There's a lot of clearing up to be done after last night. The room's an oily, melted-candle-waxy mess.

First, though - a shower.
 
Hours later, Jenee wakes to the smell of coffee and pastries. As she slips and stumbles to the bathroom, she wonders what happened to her rugs and runners and even her towel. Perhaps Daniel decided to do some laundry.

... but that doesn't explain where there aren't any clean towels in the cabinet...
 
* After plucking an assortment of strange red arrows from his derriere, RJD goes to the medicine cabinet to discover that all the band-aids are missing. * :shrug:
 
After spending all day cleaning up after the oily Valentine's night festivities, Daniel turns on the TV. They're advertising season six of Stargate Atlantis.

"It was all worth it!" Daniel says, as a tears of joy run down his cheeks.
 
Hippy Lady suddenly realises that she's cooking bacon and eggs for MLB and the children. Erm...that's not exactly vegan, is it? She contemplates going back on the brownies, because what's going on now makes less sense than a brownie trip.
 
Stepping away from the window and putting down his bonoculars, Daniel turns to Jenee, "MLB's having breakfast with Hippy Lady. I think they spent the night together.... what? Oh, I was just testing out my new bonoculars. No, Jenee, I don't make habit of looking in others' windows!"
