[Sorry if I jumped the gun on you, Doc. Something you want to do before the party talks to Darryl?]

[Not at all, turkey! It gave me a chance for a bit of business, so we're good. Everyone please proceed.]

"Hel-loo-o? Who is thith?" whinges the voice on the vocaphone. "I'm kind of in the middle of thomething here?"

Rondo · September 10, 2008, 11:50:43 AM

Buck starts grinning and running his forefinger over his moustache, "Hello son! Perhaps your mother is home? We have some good news for her...I have a distant relative here to speak with her." He winks at the party.

ttagxamm · September 10, 2008, 12:04:10 PM

"Yeah, right! All her relativth are fothsils," Darryl replies in a supercilious drawl. "Unleths...D-Dad...?"

Rondo · September 10, 2008, 12:21:29 PM

"Well, could be son, could be....all I know is that some friends of mine have someone here that needs to talk to her. Why don't you put her on, and then maybe you'll have some good news in a little bit! We have some gifts for you too."

Rondo · September 10, 2008, 12:22:44 PM

Buck shrugs at this last bit of b.s. and grins at everyone (need me to roll for Seduce or Lie or Bullshit or anything?)

ttagxamm · September 10, 2008, 01:16:49 PM

"She...she won't talk on the vocaphone. You have to see her in persthon," he quavers. No longer sneering, Darryl's voice is thin, high-pitched but not quite a child's. He lets out his breath with a soft hiss.

"Ith my Dad there? Can I. Can I talk to him?"

Rondo · September 10, 2008, 01:51:18 PM

"Well, it's been a long time son, and we're not sure this would be your dad....what do you remember about your dad...? Maybe that will help us?"

ttagxamm · September 10, 2008, 03:46:07 PM

"I never knew my dad. Mother never talks about him," his voice lowers conspiratorially, "exthept to warn me not to follow his footstepth. But I'm pretty sure he wath a great warrior. Hey! are you fighting in the Bigtime Brawl?!"

Rondo · September 10, 2008, 03:50:05 PM

"Well, son we would like to! In fact, we have a fighter here that is a "mean machine", and there's a good chance he's your father. Part of the reason we want to talk to your mother is to find out some answers about getting into this brawl. If our fighter turns out to be your old man, then that would sure be great news wouldn't it? What does your mom look like? How would you describe her...does she have a little Frankenstein blood in her?"

Dr Rotwang! · September 10, 2008, 06:49:03 PM

[Just so you know, this is HILARIOUS.]

ttagxamm · September 10, 2008, 09:41:47 PM

"Frankensthein!? Is thith thome kind of joke? Oh ha-ha. And I fell for it like thome kind of asssth-hole," Darryl hisses in exasperation. "My father was a Human Knight of Olden Haragorn. My Mother ith..."

After a short breath Darryl continues, "Queensth Tower. It'sth on the Green Line. If you want to talk to Mother you have to see her in persthon. Thanks sthooo much for calling, 'Dad.' "

With a chirp of static the vocaphone cuts off.

[The Green Line is one of several aerial tramways that crisscross God City, kept running with spare parts, chewing gum and prayers to various godlings by a clan of Sky Dwarfs. There's a stop in the piazza down the street.]

[I too heartily approve of the hilariousness going on

And am I the only one who reads "piazza" and thinks "hmmm, pizza does sound good right now"]

Creature heads off with the rest of the motley band of misfits to take the Green Line towards Queensth Tower. If he sees a pizza place along the way he'll will pick up a couple slices.
