1st fantasy: VOICE POST

[more_surreal]

Hey! Hey, is this thing working, or what? I might be a legendary genius, but there's only so much even I can do with unfamiliar technology. C'mon, somebody talk to me out there!

This is a travesty! I have rights! I have liberties! I have goofing off with Hobbes big important plans which have been placed in jeopardy by this horrible kidnapping

You don't have to go to school anymore, kid.

[more_surreal]

Say what?

[timestopping]

School. No more.

Oh, and you ain't going to get any money.

[more_surreal]

Lady, if this can get me out of school forever, then you can keep the stinkin' money!

You mean it? There's no school here? Is this the Land of Eternal Summer or something? It looks more like New York...

[reactionary]

... Need to find place to stay. City not safe for children.

[more_surreal]

Gee, thanks buster. It's not as though the kidnapping tipped me off to it not being safe or anything. What's this all about anyway? Is it some kind of deranged conspiracy? Am I being held for ransom? I sure hope nobody's expecting Mom and Dad to pay to get me back...

[reactionary]

None of those.

City full of superheroes. Including villains.

[more_surreal]

Superheroes? Really?

COOL!

Hey, is Captain Napalm here? Do you think I can get his autograph?! Yeah, that's what I'll do! I can camp out as long as I'm here, living off the land, roaming the city to meet all the awesome superpeople! Then when I go home, the whole class will be jealous! I'll be able to parlay my fleeting social encounters into a lifetime of fame and fortune. It'll be great!

[soldieringshin]

[WELL this is a peculiar one.]

Your frustration is understandable, but... I'm afraid you won't be getting any of those things.

I am Jomy. What is your name?

[more_surreal]

I'm Calvin, and you'd better believe I'm getting those things! Just you watch! I'll go to the media and be the saddest most unfortunate little kid ever zapped from his home by evil, scheming foces. I'll get on TV! I'll take it to the Supreme Court! I'll-

Hey, what kinda name is Jomy anyway?

[soldieringshin]

... If that is your resolve.

It's nice to meet you, Calvin.

Oh? It was the name given to me by my parents. Is there something wrong with it?

[more_surreal]

Nah, it's just different is all. I actually think it's kinda cool- better a weird name than a boring one, that's what I say!

Nice to meet you too, I guess.

[sunrisewolf]

You, child, are a supposed hero?

I will have to speak to Iron man.

Re: voice

[more_surreal]

That's right, take it straight to the top! Let the people in power know the terrible injustice being perpetrated on an innocent kid! Let my your voice be heard!

...Hey, what do you mean 'supposed'? I can be plenty heroic! You have any idea how many times I saved my class from math tests by pulling the fire alarm? And do I get any gratitude for it? Nooooo, just 'principle' this and 'disruptive behaviour' that.

[igotsawarhammer]

Eehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I don't gots a million dollars, so...

HOW ABOUT A COOKIE INSTEAD?

Re: [voice forever]

[more_surreal]

A cookie? To compensate for all the horrible suffering I've endured, being snatched away from my home and to this terrible place of no school and lots of superheroes uh, mystery and, uh, danger? This is an insult!

...

What kind of cookie?

[igotsawarhammer]

Yeahyeahyeahyeahyeahyeahyeah.

It's um

[there's a few shuffling sounds before Billy's voice comes back on]

Tripple Chocolate Chip!

[more_surreal]

Deal!

Hey, I'm Calvin. You got more cookies where that came from, kid?
