LK: Mom! I was just trying to bond! You know? Mother-daughter?

GC: Bond with this! {Swings sword}

LK: Aahh! {Runs off} (So much for that "How to Bond with Your Family" book I got for Solstice.)

In another part of the Temple...

Cal (CL): {Covered in gore} Gee, that sounds like Leicky screaming.

Michael Rudy (MR): {Covered in gore} What, again? I wonder what it is this time.

CL: Maybe she finally read that "bond with your family" book I got her. {Evil grin}

MR: What's with the smile?

CL: I changed the name of the author of that book so she wouldn't suspect. It's really by Andrew "Dice" Clay.

MR: Oh. {Steps back nervously}. You know what, I just remembered I have an appointment (to double-check that present you gave me!). {Hurries off}

CL: Geez, what's wrong with him? Oh well, back to reading the entrails. {Raises her dagger as she walks to the animal pen}

Ferdinand: Quack, quack! (Someone help us!)

Babe: Oink, oink! (Watch out guys! Here she comes again with that knife!)

Animals: {Various noises} (Help! Save us!)

Outside the Temple walk two figures, well three, if you count the doll...

Iggy: Ook, ook. (Sounds like someone's calling for help)

Heresy: Iggy! Will you throw that Baby Spice Doll away already! It's embarassing and bad for our image.

Iggy: Ook, ook. (You're just jealous 'cause you didn't get one!) {Hugs doll protectively and runs off}

Heresy chases after his assistant, who leads him on a merry chase around town. Meanwhile, at Club Pain's HQ, which, since I don't know where it is, is currently Jennifer Hocker's apartment.

Jennifer Hocker (JH): My apartment again! Why not Autolycus' pad?

Autolycus (AU): {Whisper} Jenn, stop talking to the camera.

JH: Oops.

AU: *Ahem* As Acting President of Club Pain I call this meeting to order. Leicky could not make this meeting so Hudson the Rat will take the meeting notes.

Hudson the Rat: Squeak, squeak. (And I don't misspell as much as that so-called bard!)
