Five days? You're upset it's lasted five days? The first one lasted for years. Stop complaining, you're giving me a headache.

Regardless, though, when all of this is over, I'm going to need a long drink. Maybe the faucets will only provide alcohol, again. That would be a welcome change.

Make sure he rests.

And that reminds me-I told Cal that we should all go out when this is over. You lot can drink, I'll just watch.

[tehpuck]

Cal will, don't worry. If worse comes to worse, we'll slip some drugs in his wheatjuice.

Well, Niko doesn't drink, unless... Actually, this is considerably worse than the last time, so why not? We'll make an event of it.

[captainshort]

And Niko, too. If Cal still wants to kill him, remind the kid that.

I don't drink either. Hence, watching. But this thing's almost over. I'm on my way to help out with it.

[tehpuck]

Yes, because they so often listen to me.

I figured as much. But I'm sure you can at least sip one of Niko's various vegetable confections.

[captainshort]

It's only the truth.

Erm, that sounds thrilling. I do have a sense of taste, you know. Remind me about that when I get back home. ...And if you see Trouble, remind him not to worry.

[tehpuck]

I look forward to it, then. And I'll tell him if I see him, but I doubt I'll see him, or that he'll listen to me, either. What is it with you people and not listening to me, by the way? Is it some new trend, because I disprove wholeheartedly.
