[Action for 1332 Benny Road]

[It is 2pm at 1332 Benny Road...and a not-so-new arrival has only just arisen from her slumber...shuffling about the house with a look that is a mixture of "I'm not surprised" and absolute boredom. She has ignored others in the house as she made for the kitchen and began to shuffle about, preparing what other members

I've been meaning to ask the same question.

[convallariaceae]

Is that so? Am I to assume you took a vacation as well?

[hop_toit_udonge]

You assume correctly, my friend.

[convallariaceae]

Hmmm, how odd that so many of us appear to be returning at the same time, by the look of it.

Perhaps I am being followed. I never knew I had so many admirers. [The sarcasm in her voice with that last statement is palpable.]

[hop_toit_udonge]

Well people do seem to love flowers.

[convallariaceae]

Oh indeed. The mess and excitement that comes every sixty years is good proof of that.

Though, you didn't have to follow on my account, good Doctor.

[hop_toit_udonge]

Now now, don't be so presumptuous. I came here for my own reasons.

[convallariaceae]

Oh? It's not as if those under forced immortality require the services of a doctor.

Though I suppose you are a bit more talented than that. Oh well, none of my business.

You're always welcome to come by for tea.

[hop_toit_udonge]

I certainly shall, of course. And you're welcome to do the same.

[convallariaceae]

How kind of you, I do believe I will keep that in mind.

Oh, I suppose I should let you know that...if you remember where I was placed before, I am just next door this time around.

[hop_toit_udonge]

Ah, so that poor man finally kicked you out, did he?

[convallariaceae]

Poor man indeed. I do believe I have a more...manageable husband now, though.

[hop_toit_udonge]

Manageable or malleable?

[convallariaceae]

Not quite sure, as it stands now.

I suppose time will tell what the semantics come out to~

[hop_toit_udonge]

Well I hope you don't get into too much trouble, either way. I've still got this itching need to watch out for you. Whether it's as your doctor or as your friend is yet to be figured out.

[convallariaceae]

Well, I obviously do not need a doctor.

Unless I suddenly fall victim to some aches, pains, and brittle bones. I do so hope I can reach the phone if I happen to fall down.
