By the night or by the hour
Lolo: Hey girlfriend!
Emma: Hey yourself.
Lolo: Where's Jumpie?
Emma: He's at work, should I call...
Lolo: I mean, Virtual Jumpie. I heard you were renting him out now.
Emma: He just came back from Lanna's.
Lolo: But he's fully charged, right?
Emma: Yes.
Lolo: Great!
Emma collects Virtual Jumpie and brings him to Lolo
Virtual Jumpie: Hi Lolo! You look lovely today!
Lolo: I need help with my Calculus.
Virtual Jumpie: Common, baby, I'll show you how to do to one side what you do to the other.
Emma: That's algebra, you moron.
Virtual Jumpie: Makes no differential to me.
Virtual Jumpie winks at Lolo
Emma: When did you learn how to wink?
Lolo: Don't be jealous Emma. I'll bring him back in a few days. Bye.
...
Emma: And that's exactly what happened.
Boris: So you programmed this Virtual Jumpie to make math puns?
Emma: No, I didn't.
Emma glares pointedly at Solies who is trying to slink away unnoticed.
Solies: Well, he was just sitting in your office.
Emma: For one hour, I left him in my office for one hour to recharge his battery.
Solies: But I'm a programmer! You can't lead me to temptation and expect me to just walk right past it.
Boris: Ah, I see.
Emma: Do you really? I knew you'd understand.
Boris: No, am not understanding. I only wish to return to my office far away from this blog and never return.
Blinky: I would have taken his lines.
Steve: I would have taken them too. Why do you give lines to people who don't appreciate them and bypass the hard-working folk who need the lines?
All: Steve!
Steve: What, did you think I stopped existing just because I'm in New York? I can't telecommute to the blog?
Emma: I think you'll are all losing sight of the big picture.
Solies: Yeah, given the chance, Emma would make Virtual copies of all of us designed to her specifications.
Blinky: With no math puns.
Steve: I'm afraid we can't allow that.
Emma: Hrm. This conversation has taken a rather wrong turn.
Virtual Emma: Emma would never make copies of you guys, you're perfect as you are.
Solies: Oh, well that's okay then.
Steve: I'm completely reassured.
Boris: Bah.
Blinky: If I rent Virtual Jumpie, would I get a blog entry to myself?
Emma: Hey yourself.
Lolo: Where's Jumpie?
