Can't say I'm much for the extended family- tenth cousins thrice removed and all. How many were there again? Nine? Fifteen? Four hundred?

Fred, the next time I start calling the neighbours family, be a good man and knock me out 'til it's good and done. [OH LOOK he still seems to find it hilarious.] Don't suppose it's time for a family reunion now

Roughly eight thousand.

Would you prefer a club or a rock?

[gredn0tforge]

Going to have a time with that list, I am.

A club made of rock.

[forgenotgred]

Got enough parchment, d'you think?

How rocky would you like it?

[gredn0tforge]

If I run out, I s'pose there's always the walls.

Nothing short of the rockiest rock you can acquire.

[absentsymmetry]

I-I'm sorry.

[gredn0tforge]

As you should be! Sorriest game of Gobstones I've played in years. [But you get a good-natured smile.]

[absentsymmetry]

[She smiles back.] Well, I've never really played...

[gredn0tforge]

S'pose I'll have to teach you, then.

TWO MILLION EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED TWENTY TWO.

And five eighths.

[gredn0tforge]

That's about two million and five eighths more than I would've reckoned. [Ponderface.] Sure you didn't count any twice, are you?

It is an exact general estimate made with the most precise guessing techniques known to pigeons.

[gredn0tforge]

Well, I daresay pigeons need to work on their guessing abilities.

[lucenombra]

Present!

Excellent, you can help get a start on that list. No fifth cousins I've yet to meet, are there?
