In This Day and Age

[Brady]

" And rootbeer, " I add, taking a 24-pack of rootbeer off the rack and following Usha down the aisle.

[Usha]

"Yep, we can't forget the rootbeer!" I giggle.

I put some other things in the basket like apricots, candy, and potato salad.

"This looks good, are we forgetting anything else?"

[Brady]

" Nope. I don't think so. "

Seeing all this food makes me hungry so we get in line.

I wish lines were never invented.

[Huey P. Newton]

"Life's been good, man. My Ministry's been gettin' more respect, I got a raise... unfortunately, Dr. Murdock got wind of Stalin's plan to control Red Infinity... but, that didn't stop him. He's meeting with Lin-Sat right now and he wrote a propaganda film to try and further increase his status in the Red Infinity world... I think it's called To Kill a Communist." Huey said, scratching his chin and eating more pizza.

(Sorry I got off so suddenly and it took me so long to get back on, but a nurse came in and had a fit when I was still on the computer. I had to get off and fake like I was asleep for a while...)

[Usha]

Lines are always very long so it takes an hour to check out of the store. But it is great once we are out.

"We should teleport somewhere sunny to eat and have a picnic since Finland in January isn't all that pleasant."

[Irvine Kinneas]

I walk down towards the anarchist house in Amsterdam, singing the Charmin song.

" Hey little fella gotta change your touch. What you thought was enough, might be too much. See it's more comfortable than ever before. Charmin ultra less is more... "

I stop once the house is in view. It is totally demolished.

" Err... okay... Now what? "

I decide to head to the rebel base in Helsinki, maybe they would know something. Bass knows everything.

Once I'm on the plane, I open a bag of peanuts and eat them quietly.

[Brady]

" Hmm... We could go to... Hawaii! That's pretty isolated from everything else, and it has good weather! "

I suggest, eating a potato chip.

[Usha]

"Yeah, Hawaii! That will be the best picnic ever!!"

I run to my room and pack some things for our short trip.

"Let's take a teleportation booth there!"

I look up the number and wait for Brady and Kisa to enter the booth with me.

[Brady]

I step in, and Kisa does also. After Usha punches in the number and we arrive on a beach, I put on my swimming shorts and jump in the water. I swim first since I didn't want to upset my stomach after eating.

[Kaitalish]

I sit upon my throne, my eyes smoldering.

ONI NO IRVINE! COME TO ME!

[Irvine no Oni]

I am summoned to my master.

" What is your bidding my master? "

I say with total loyalty.

[Usha]

"Wow, it sure is nice here. I think I am going to take a nap under a big beach umbrella."

I set up a large pink and purple beach umbrella and sit under it for a nap on the beach while Brady swims.

[Kaitalish]

Of late, I have been handling the assorted fairs of the bloodspeakers and cleaning up after that fool Nitas slew that thrice-bed**ned fool Faust. Our organization has suffered much, and I wish to hunt.

[Valodya Bassarov]

"I'm glad that you're getting more respect and that you are in charge of such an important project." Bassarov says in reference to the giant machines that the Ministry of Defense will be making.

[Irvine no Oni]

" 'Tis be my pleasure, to hunt alongside you. It would be quite fun to turn some ordinary civilians into ruthless beings. When do we depart master? "

I question Kaitalish.
