[A slight change has been made to one of the titles on the "Recommended Viewing" shelf at the Video-rama. It now reads: Abbott and Costello and Ricochet Meet Frankenstein. Meanwhile, from outside--]

Hey--Bud? Lou? Dracula?

[does he care? Not at all, really.]

Oh hey, good thing I didn't borrow that. Need a paper bag? It's the closest thing I've got to a mask.

[2nd_slinger]

I... think I'll pass, thanks all the same.

[tobethemiracle]

So what do I call you now?

[2nd_slinger]

Uh... I guess I'm still Ricochet, really. Dearth of spandex notwithstandin'.

[tobethemiracle]

Gotcha.

I'd ask you if anything new came in, but I'd have a better idea than you.

[2nd_slinger]

Yeah, I've had vampires an' wolf men an' guys with big freakin' bolts in their necks t'worry about in the last couple... um. You happen t'know how long I was gone, by any chance?

[tobethemiracle]

Couple of weeks or so. Nothing big.

[2nd_slinger]

... weeks. Geez. That's a new one for me.

[tobethemiracle]

A friend of mine was gone for months. You're doing okay.

[2nd_slinger]

Months. You're not shittin' me, are you?

[tobethemiracle]

I wish I were. Nope, he was fixed in one place for months, apparently, and only changed back a bit after I got here.

[2nd_slinger]

... holy Galactus. That's pretty rough.

[tobethemiracle]

Why am I telling you this, you probably even know him. Filif? He kind of looks like a walking, talking Christmas tree.

[2nd_slinger]

... y'mean he's real? I thought I was high on print toner that one time.

[tobethemiracle]

Well, yeah. If you think he's weird, don't go off-planet.

[2nd_slinger]

Hey, I was in space, once. On a spaceship. There were Brood aliens an' everythin'.
