Walking away from Lasper’s shuttle, Lasper said, “The landing shuttle is cloaked. Kniff will stay at the controls, ready to take off at a moment’s notice. And if anyone asks about our appearance, we’re on our way to a costume party.” Val said, “Somehow I expected a more spacey high-tech plan.” Sarcastically, Lasper said, “If anyone continues to bother us, I will melt them with my laser heat eyes, Zap zap. Come on.” Audri said, “Actually… I’m going this way. I need to go alone.” Miffed, Lasper said, “What? No. That’s not part of the plan.” Val said, “Sorry, but vulnerable interactions of love can’t be observed. a watched kettle doesn’t boil, you know?” Val commented, “It does, actually.” Audri continued, “Anyhow, there’s a hidden key under the potted plant outside my door. If you could pick up my cat Purrloin for me, it would mean the world.” Val took her by the hands and said, “I don’t like it, but yes. Of course. We support you in whatever you decide.” Throwing his hands in the air, Lasper said, “Not supportive! not the plan!”

“Heeere, kitty kitty kitty…”
“Where is she?”
“Purrloin’s been purloined!”
I sense a denouement in the air, though this story is anything but French.
I also have to report website issues, for 12h today the website gave me timeouts, and finally after my friend got on and fixed it for me (by his mere presence) it mostly worked, apart from an “Error establishing a database connection” or two.
I suspect Purrloin will show up and solve the problem in that innocent-yet-knowing, detached-yet-connected cat kind of way.
You gotta walk that lonesome valley
And you gotta walk, walk it by yourself
Nobody else can walk it for you
You gotta walk, walk it by yourself.
And sometimes that walk doesn’t take you where you thought you were going. As we shall see.
This is like a horror movie. “We all have to stick together.” “That’s right. Safety in numbers.” “OK. I’ll go this way, you go that way, and you stay here to hold the fort.”
What part of NO doesn’t she understand! Government black ops alien dissection soon to be a theme!
