HOW TO FIND RP
Mara says, "Now. I gotta figure out how to get some RP."
Erin will tell you how.
Mara says, "Or I'm gonna be curled up in a corner in a little ball, shaking and shivering from withdrawal."
Erin WILL TELL YOU.
Mara says, "TELL ME, THEn."
Mara eyes shift.
Erin says, "First, you get a duck."
Mara says, "..."
Erin says, "What."
Mara says, "Are you sure this isn't how i tell if someone's a witch?"
Erin says, "I'm sure."
Bekah cracks up.
Mara says, "Okay. Carry on."
Desmond has connected.
Erin says, "Okay, you get a duck, and you cover it in jam."
Desmond says, ". . ."
Erin says, "Then."
Erin says, "You write a 1000-word essay on the history of the letter Q."
Bekah noms Desmond.
Erin says, "By the time you finish, the jam will be dry."
Desmond omnomnom Bekah.
Erin says, "So you stick the essay to the duck."
Mara says, "I..."
Serotonin has arrived.
You say, "No, really."
Mara says, "Okay, there's a punchline here."
Mara says, "About how PQR are connected."
Bekah says, "We hope."
Erin says, "You stick it to the duck."
Erin says, "And."
Erin says, "Drive to the ocean."
Mara says, "..."
Mara says, "(Sero.)"
Serotonin says, "..."
Erin says, "Where you put it in a bottle."
Mara says, "(She's gone bananas.)"
Erin says, "This is the important part."
Erin says, "You put the bottle /into the ocean./ But you have to make sure there are airholes, or the duck can't breathe."
Erin says, "So you need to get a drill."
Michael says, "..."
Erin says, "One with the diamond coating, so you can drill through the glass."
Mara says, "..."
Desmond says, "Lord, what did I sign in on?"
Mara says, "Uhm."
Serotonin looks at Erin. Looks back at the door to the Staff Nexus.
Mara says, "Erin."
Serotonin says, "..."
Erin says, "Four airholes, evenly spaced."
Michael says, "Take-- take me with you Sero."
Mara says, "If you put holes in the bottle..."
Mara says, "The duck is gonna drown."
Erin says, "NO."
Mara says, "YES. I THINK SO."
Erin says, "NO."
Mara says, "YES."
Mara says, "IT IS /SCIENCE/."
Serotonin tries to take Michael, can't pick him up.
Erin says, "Ducks can't drown, their made out of moonrocks."
Michael has left.
Mara says, "HOW DO YOU FIT A DUCK IN A BOTT-"
Mara says, "Sero."
Mara says, "Take me, too."
Desmond says, "Cut it up."
Erin says, "Okay."
Bekah takes away Erin's crack.
Serotonin says, "I... I."
Erin says, "So after you drill holes in the bottle."
Mara says, "She's trying to explain to me how to get RP."
Erin says, "And you put the bottle into the ocean."
Mara says, "I don't think this would get me RP outside of a scene at the nuthouse."
Erin says, "You have to get a shark-whistle."
Mara says, "Speaking of nuthouse, when do I get to meet Eames?"
Serotonin says, "Heehee!"
Serotonin says, "When I have my computer back!"
You say, "Shark-whistles and dolphin-whistles are very similar, so you have to be careful. Anyway."
Serotonin says, "..."
Mara says, "Are you /ever/ gonna get it back?"
Serotonin says, "Well, I have it back."
Serotonin says, "I'm used to saying I don't, I guess."
Erin says, "You call a shark, which will take the bottle to a man named Lloyd, who lives on Oahu."
Serotonin says, "I just need an adapter!"
Mara says, "Sooo..."
Serotonin says, "..."
Mara says, "Right."
Erin says, "He has a computer."
Mara says, "When is /that/ gonna happen? D:"
Erin says, "Which he will THROW INTO A FIRE."
Mara says, "..."
Erin says, "Erin, are you making this all up on the fly?"
Erin says, "Sending smoke signals to the exact person you want to RP with."
Desmond says, "(Psst. Guys. Guys.)"
Erin says, "Yeah."
Mara says, "Or have you given this advice before?"
Mara says, "I can't decide which freaks me out more."
Erin says, "So while the shark is on its way to Oahu..."
Desmond says, "(Erin writes plots for Japanese RPGs.)"
Mara says, "(I think she does.)"
Erin says, "You have to drive back to your computer, where you are looking for RP."
Erin says, "You sit."
Erin says, "And wait."
Mara says, "Erin."
Serotonin says, "I--"
Erin says, "And suddenly, the duck covered with Jam will log on."
Serotonin says, "Hopefully I'm ordering my adapter shortly."
Erin says, "Gloriously pointing you at your RP partner."
Mara says, "Erin."
Erin says, "And at that point, you will RP."
Erin says, "Yes Mara."
Mara says, "You know..."
Mara says, "I could just do /this/..."
Mara says, "Who wants to RP with me?"
Desmond says, "ME."
You say, "WRONG"
Bekah says, "Me!"
You say, "BUT"
Mara says, "YOU ARE NOT LEX LUTHOR, ERIN."
You say, "YOU RUINED EVERYTHING"
Mara says, "I'VE BEEN TOLD I'M GOOD AT THAT."
Michael has arrived.
You say, "YOU HAVE TO DO IT MY WAY"
