Jeff reminded me that I should probably throw something up here so that everybody knows I'm alive. I'm alive! Thanksgiving was really great. Nothing like a huge meal with your family to perk a guy up! I, uh, guess I stayed home a little longer than I meant to though. Sorta got switched around in the dorms... Sorry about that Fox! Uh, I think

Aww, it's not magic! YOU'RE the one who uses that stuff, remember?

Of course we're going to have to hook up some saxophone to, especially if The Runaway Five have a song on there!

[rockinmelody]

No, I was watching you the whole time. Totally magic. I dunno if that counts. It's kind of natural and all.

Yes! It'll be fantastic. I wonder what song it is. Maybe there's even more than one!

[icequeen_aran]

Ness, you're back.

[rockinmelody]

Yeah! How have you been, Ms. Aran?

[icequeen_aran]

Alright. The... usual for what happens around here.

The Runaway Five... that's the band you and Jeff like, right? With "Venus"?

[rockinmelody]

It's probably not a good sign when that could be comforting and kind of worrisome at the same time, haha.

Yes! You mean with you. Venus is just a special guest sometimes... Maybe because she's busy TEACHING and being a TEACHER. Maybe even at MY SCHOOL. Have you listened to them much? If Jeff hasn't yet, I could get you a copy if you wanted.

NOT THAT YOU WOULD NEED IT, VENUS.

I'm really glad you're back, Ness!

But... um... The Runaway Five are where? With... triangles?

[rockinmelody]

Lucas, hey! I'm glad to be back! I missed you guys.

They're gonna be on... oh! Rockband's a video game where you play along with the music. Normally its only supposed to have parts for guitar, bass, drums and vocals, but Jeff is hacking it for a set of keys and a sax and...

You know it'd probably make a whole lot more sense if I just showed you.

[pkloveomega]

Uh... m-maybe.

[Because it makes ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE to him right now.]

If you and Jeff like it, then I'm sure it must be fun.

[rockinmelody]

It is fun! And pretty easy to pick up on too. I can show you whenever you want!

[notstevejobs]

Hi, Ness. I'm glad you came back. It always feels safer when you're around.

[rockinmelody]

That... means a lot, Apple Kid. Thanks. I think its a little the other way around.

Have you been working on any exciting inventions lately?

[notstevejobs]

Well, I'm working on something now but I don't know what it'll be yet. I'll tell you if it's something interesting.

[rockinmelody]

Ooohh. [Gosh what sort of food product could be fueling this one??] Well you know where to reach me, haha.

[miracleprayer]

[Ness. NESS. Where have you been young man, Paula has been worried sick and--oh. He was. Just at home. W-well, at least he was safe. And not running off, fighting baddies and going on adventures without the rest of the gang. She'll let this little disappearing act slide. This time.]

The Runaway Five? Really? I don't know much about video games, but Rockband is that one where you play the instruments, right? I'm not really sure what I'd play, but I'd be more than happy to watch and cheer you guys on. Oh, though I guess if it's a game, there would probably be a virtual audience to do that for you, so that would be sort of silly to have another person physically being there to do it...

[Oh no she was babbling TIME TO CHANGE THE SUBJECT.]

Um... hi.

[rockinmelody]

[For some reason he felt a chill as if he had just dodged a bullet oooweeeooo. But anyway, Paula, you're just going to make him ramble back. Look what you've done.]

Yeah!! They're totally on it!! And yeah that's the one. Oh man you could totally be on vocals if you wanted I bet you'd be really good at it. Though if you wanted to just watch that's perfectly fine! A real audience is a whole lot nicer than a virtual one and...

... Hello.

[miracleprayer]

O-Oh, I never considered vocals. I'm not too sure how I would do. I guess I could give it a try! Though I wouldn't be able to compare to Venus. You'll have to tell me how to play the game. This'll be my first time, really.

So how's everyone at home? I'm sure they missed you. Did you have a good break?

[rockinmelody]

B-but you're my Venu-- okay no. I'll show you how. Don't even worry about it, you'll be fine! It's really pretty easy. I could show you beforehand, if you'd like. Without all the extra stuff.

They're real good. Tracy roped me into seeing this play she was in at school, and we had the Minches over for dinner... That was pretty interesting.

How's everyone in Twoson? Did you go home for break?
