[ilikesoap]

[The comm cracks on and Tyler's voice is heard. And doesn't he sound amused.]

Rubber ship~ Rubber ship!~ Ruuuubber shiiip~

[In the background one might hear tapping. Tyler is touching every inanimate thing in his reach and turning it to rubber.]

Rubber ship! This punishment is kinda fun you kno--

[Pause.]

Jack? The hell are you doing man?

[He

[axemeaquestion]

... Jack?

[LET'S INTRODUCE HER TO THE WHOLE TYLER THING OR... SOMETHING.]

[ilikesoap]

Haaah! Yeah!

Tyler's here too!

[And don't they sound happy!]

[axemeaquestion]

Hold up. Who's Tyler?

[ilikesoap]

Oh come on. Don't tell me you haven't heard of me? That hurts.

[There's a laugh and the sound of something falling. The thud of something large and... rubber hitting the ground is heard in the background.]

[axemeaquestion]

[If only you could see the blank staring.]

... Yeah, don't get it, honey. Last time I talked to you, you said your name was Jack.

[ilikesoap]

[Comm fumble.]

I am Jack. That's Tyler!

Rubber ship~ Rubber ship~

[Tap tap tap tap.]

[axemeaquestion]

[CONFUSED SILENCE.]

Um.

[ilikesoap]

[Pause.]

Is there a problem here young lady?

[Tyler's taken on the highway cop tone.]

[axemeaquestion]

[Friggin' joy.]

So... last time I talked to you you told me you're Jack. And now you're some singing showtune guy named Tyler. Personal identity issues, here, or?

[The last part was a joke, but oh Rochelle.]

[ilikesoap]

Last time. You were talking to Jack.

Yeah, we talked about zombies and the flu.

[Pause.] Interesting combination. And there are a lot of issues on board I'd rather not discuss right now. After all, I'm working.

[Snort of laughter.]

[axemeaquestion]

...

So...

[She's slowly grasping this.]

... two of you?

[ilikesoap]

Bim! Bam! Thank you Ma'am!

You could say that.

[Comm ruffle. He's still touching everything in sight.]

What? Yeah. Of course there's two of us.

[Well DUH, says his tone.]

[axemeaquestion]

... so I guess this'll be the first time we met, Tyler.

[oh god this is so weird]

[ilikesoap]

It sure is. Official meeting that is.

You're Rochelle right? Zombie flu girl.

[axemeaquestion]

Guess you could call me that.

[ilikesoap]

And I will.

Tell me, Miss Zombie. Were you involved in the mutiny?
