DM: Vicious Circle!

At this point the two go through the Vicious Circle meeting ritual with the secret handshake and the dancing around. Brian and Amanda look on, fascinated by the spectacle.

LK: ((Walking up to the foursome)) Not that Vicious Circle thing again! Can't you take it inside or something? You're scaring the animals.

HE: You're just jealous 'cause Club Pain doesn't have a cool greeting like we do.

LK: We do too! And ours is way better!

HE: Is not!

LK: Is too!

DM: Is not!

GC: ((Teleports in)) Now now kids. Don't argue before Mommy or I'll have to crucify you as an example to the rest of my darlings.

BS: They started it!

AH: Yeah. Brian and I didn't do anything!

GC: ((Sigh)) Ok. Let's go inside.

They go into a conference room of the Science Facility. The foursome sit down while the Goddess and her bard go to the front of the room.

GC: ((Whispering)) Go ahead bard. Just like I told you.

LK: Attention Loyal Troubleshooters! You have been called upon to render your valuable services at the beck and call of our Goddess. As you may know, the Goddess' Slinky was stolen by a Giant Commie Lizard...

Room lights dim. Slide projector comes on. Picture of Giant Lizard shown.

HE: Wow, it's huge! All the people look like ants!

AH: Those are ants you moron! It's just a bad camera angle.

LK: ((Continuing)) Many Bothans died to get us the following information. The Giant Commie Lizard has a small army of Pinko Lizardmen. To get to their main base you will have to pass the Bridge Over the Lava River...

Picture of a rope bridge bridging a chasm. At the bottom, far below, can be seen a distant lava river.

AH: Whoo hoo! Lava river! I wonder if that's the one...

GC: ((Teleports next to Amanda. Whispers in her ear)) Yes it is. Now be a good little girl and pay attention.

AH: (Sorry Goddess)

GC: ((Pats Amanda's head)) (Ah, youth...)
