[ TODAY BY THE LAKE, there are two men who look suspiciously alike. Actually, they're basically identical. Aside from the glasses and dress and hair styles, the only other big difference is that... one of them seems to be swarmed by tiny fire breathing ducklings... ]

Okay, this is just not funny.

[kneels down to pet one.]

They aren't that bad.

[pyrocalities]

Yeah, because they're not trying to ignite you.

[skepticalities]

Did you do something to them . . . ?

[pyrocalities]

Like what?

[skepticalities]

Like something that would make them try to ignite you?

[pyrocalities]

Because getting set on fire again is definitely my idea of a good time.

[skepticalities]

- how many times have you been set on fire before, exactly?

[pyrocalities]

Just the once, and it was more than enough. Three months in a nanite regeneration chamber isn't exactly a fun time.

[skepticalities]

[paaaaauses at hearing that.]

Regeneration chamber?

[pyrocalities]

Completely charred over ninety percent of my body. I'm lucky it wasn't longer.

[skepticalities]

[glances over, staring and giving him a bit of a onceover. He doesn't say anything for a moment, although he does reach over to scoop up a duckling that edges closer.]

[pyrocalities]

But hey, all better now. And that's what counts.

[...puts out the fire on his boot.]

[skepticalities]

Right. Um. These guys are pretty tiny, but let's try to avoid a repeat.

[starts to herd a few towards the lake.]

[pyrocalities]

That was the plan.

[skepticalities]

Then let's keep it that way.

[shoos a few of them in! and they oblige, diving into the lake and making little duckling noises.]

[nudges a couple with his foot, and the only casualty is a loose shoelace, before they waddle off into the water]
