...An hour. And four minutes. That... is TOO MUCH FISH. That's twice as long as yesterday! What if this keeps up?! THE WORLD SMELLS LIKE FISH. IT'S HORRIBLE

*on the phone because we haven't done that yet and Sheska doesn't have a car* Clara! These creatures! I don't know what they are. I've not seen them anywhere, in any book I've ever read! Although some stuff from Japan looks close.
*moment of silent tears down cheeks* There are eight in my apartment and I can't get them out. I'm worried about the books. You know animals, how do you get rid of them?
It's a mystery. Maybe the dimensions thought they were making too much sense...
*hadn't really been thinking straight* You're right, I should open my door. I've been so worried about them damaging books that I didn't try that yet, one of them shoots water. I'm not entirely sure how they got into my apartment but when I got back after work the door was open and the doornob was broken off.
*moving through the room and opening the door* Ok, the door is open. What do I do to make them go out? *covering receiver* THAT IS NOT A CHEW TOY! *back* Sorry.
*laughs a little, albeit with some discomfort evident* That's not the first time I've wondered whether sentience is involved... I really sort of hope not, though....
...They shoot water?! ...Your doorknob was broken off?! ...Err... I don't know... try to sort of... herd them out? Or maybe... I don't know, you could try to lure them with food. ...What do you think they eat? ...Other fish?
You... he fixed your doorknob, and it fell off? ...I didn't think he did such shoddy work. ...I guess he's not an expert in doorknobs, but it seems like a fairly simple sort of device....
No, I mean he fixes everything else around here. If it weren't for him reinforcing my roof with iron then I would have a dozen sharks mixed in with my books. The water creatures must have blasted off the doornob and now I have to invite Ed over again. I'm not going to use my book money on repairs.
Broom! Yes, I'll try that. ... *overheard in the background* Ow! You stay off that, those are my favorite instruction manuals! Look what I've got now you little blue devils, this is the broom of unusual creature disposal. Shoo, shoo, get the heck out of my apartment. *SNAP* Ow! That was NOT nice. I'll call Hawkeye and she'll shoot you full of holes if you don't clear out right now. That's it, leave leave leave leave. Ok. Ok. Whew. *picking up the phone, panting slightly* I think they all left. Thanks Clara, that was a good suggestion. They broke my broom though. The pointy stick left over worked well enough though.
*hears all this going on and tries valiantly not to laugh* ...Oh dear, I didn't realize they could be so strong. Are you all right? I heard some ow's....
Oh, I'll get some warm water running... but I should get something else to change into so I'm not walking around my apartment with no top and no doornob.
*I KNEW IT* No! No no no! Use cold water, never use warm or hot water with blood! *laughs* Oh dear, no, that could be horrible! ...If I see Edward before you do, I'll be sure to tell him you need your doorknob fixed. You don't want to live like that very long.

...Oh! Oh dear! Um... I don't know, I don't know anything about them! Err, um, is your door open? ...How did they get into your apartment, anyway?

I don't have any fish. Muffins! Let me try the muffins. ...
T_T They already ate them. How do you herd blue, fishy... things?

Err, um... use a broom?
