THE FREAKING STARBLOOM TRAVECY - Generation 5.7!!!!
ZOMGOODNESS! They're back!?? That's terrible! This unexpected update needs a little Content Warning, which will probably be the only serious thing said in this post. There are scenes set in a hospital in this chapter. I know this is pretty bad timing for that, so if it bothers you, just don't read this right now. I'll completely understand. The Travecy is meant to be lighthearted dumb fun, not to upset anyone. The "plot" of this new arc was planned a long time ago, and that I've gotten around to posting it now is just coincidental. I should probably also add that you may not want to eat, while reading this. You'll see why towards the end of the chapter.
Additional CW: Mild gore (no blood or real injury, just icky stuff) and implied facial disfigurement.
The Narrator is a-GOOOOO!
They're back!
HiiiIii! I'm the Narrator! Or Raelynn as some of you know me, but please just keep me anonymous, because my grandmother's really worried that someone in the family will become Internet Famous. It's been years since the last time we heard from the Stablooms and it was soooo weird to see them all again! But I still love them all and you kno3 what it's like with old friends. SUddely it's like you've never been apart!
Last time I had a crappy old laptop, and all the pictures were ingame camera because screenshots looked crap! You should probably re-read the last chapter since you can't have photographic memory to remember it all, but maybe you shouldn't. It was a really bad chapter! D:
OH NO! Aylatani was in the 70s! Look at what she's wearing! They came back to when they had left from, and discovered that even if they hadn't attended Queen Vickie's wedding the past had changed. Everything was just as they'd left it except instead of it being 2220 it was 1975. But it was okay, because she was at home in her house on the beach.
And I just found out that I'm supposed to meet my teachers in online group chats every day, to have lessons while school's locked down??!!?! Like how am I supposed to do that? Mom's installed a lot of filters to make sure I don't Skype with teachers, after Tameron got Mr. Dunholm to drop trou on camera- She didn't do it to blackmail him or anything, she really liked what she saw. Then she showed it to Jolene, who didn't.
Adana was so happy to be allowed to wear shorts again. She didn't really ever get used to being a Victorian and I can't say I blame her. But that wasn't the only reason she was happy.... O_o
LOL glamour shot!
Just to refresh your memory, because I assume you were sensible and followed my advice not to read that previous chapter. This is Aamiley. She's T'anamikla's oldest daughter with Buck, and she's the Heir who will lead The Next Generation. But she was raised in the 19th century and got a nasty shock when her parents gave her THE TALK. Right now she's Aro-Ace, because she's too disgusted by what she's learned about people's secret lives to even consider dating. Sadly for her, she's already engaged to be married to someone she's never seen or even heard of. It was the Universe itself that decided the two of them are meant to be. Aami only knows about it because Nernia caught a glimpse of it in her crystal ball.
Aami's necklace is meant to symbolise that although her heart may be breaking at times, she hasn't lost either half to any guy.
This is her sister, Andrina, who's the Chosen One. She found the Ancient Book of Edgar back in the Cave of D'arkness, so she's already fulfilled her destiny at the age of 15, and is just enjoying life in an almost modern world. :)
Adana: I've missed you so much!
Ryan: I missed you too, even if you only seemed to be gone for half an hour!
Adana told Ryan all about what a solid disappointment Victorian London had been. When she went there she hoped to see Mozard and Beethoven performing live, and smuggle a digital camera to Queen Victoria's coronation. But none of that happened, and instead they got infested with spiders the size of Volkswagens and walking trees.
And as if that wasn't enough, they'd been asked to look after Virginia Crane, who's just too pure, good and true to take care of herself. Someone evil was out to get her, because evil gets extremely infuriated when it sees purity exist. :C To the corrupted and depraved the light of truth shines with a toxic glow, against which they rage towards the mournful sky.
The poor child was having a hard time adapting.
Virginia: Oh no I have the Scarlet Fever! Plz don't shave my hair bald!
Ryan: We don't do that anymore, and it's only a heatstroke. You need to be careful about exercise bikes, because when I was your age my innards exploded after I used one for too long.
He expected her to be appropriately shocked, but Virginia had lived in the time of pestilence (like us) and had heard a lot worse.
Early microwave meals tasted horrible. Even Aylatani who had once eaten a rotten pie (Victorian take-away) couldn't finish it.
Phil wondered if it was too soon to hang the pictures of Aylatani kissing her dead husbands somewhere else than the livingroom.
On the beach the next morning, Aylatani had a brilliant idea.
Aylatani: It will be a dark and winding path, but I know how to proceed.
T'ana: Oh no, but we just got back home!
Ryan: Hey, listen to this: The Skull-Faced Lady scared the kittens outta two drunk teens last Saturday night. Who says journalism didn't die until the 2000s, huh?
Ryan's a sceptic.
Elena McAvoy and Chaz Dimwit came over to visit after school. :=)
Ewww and so did Jacob. Aami and Andi didn't know him, but Iris still remembered all the nonsense he and Renesmee had caused for Nerniya. And for Jonathan by extenction, because when Renesmee moved out Nerniya started agrroing on him instead.
BTW, Nerniya has moved out. It's not because she's not welcome home, but she's married to Orca and they stayed with Laurelin who has a bigger house.
T'anakima had been oppressed by puritan ideals for so long that she forgot to use sun screen when she flung all her clothes off and started dancing around in her underwear.
Jonathan told Aami the whole scandalous story about what Jacob had done.
It also involved Macolm Landgraab? Wow, that was news to me. Lucy Hanby, their British maid was extrasperated.
Aylatani: What have I said about goths and sunstroke?
Aylatani: Now stand in front of the air conditioner until your temperature returns to normal, while Mommy washes off the grime of a day in politics.
Yeah, Iris got her nose pierced, because Aylatani messed with her records so she could drop out of the private school she went to. Sometimes it pays to have a mother who's Minister of Education.
Poor Andi, she doesn't know how weird and wrong everything was when her Mom last lived there.
Adana: Dude, I wish we could have some rain, this heat is murder. Hang on, Ethan. I think Ryan's acting weird again.
T'ana: Oh no, Daaaad. My kids have friends over!
Adana: Yep, he just had a sunstroke. I'll call you back later, Ethan. I gotta throw some cold water here.
T'ana: Hi Apollo. You can talk to Dad as soon as they've rescussitated him.
Ryan: DID I EXPLODE?
You wouldn't think that this crew had faught phantom horses, wolferdiggers and evil tree-people.
Yeah, Liranda and Tallie are in the 70s too. Everyone is. :D
This is Andrew Dimwit. He's related to Chazza somehow, and came running angrily because someone had watched him with a telescope. We're over at the Nightinwolves' place now, BTW, because you probably wanted to see them?
The door to the balcony was locked, and Andrew got distracted by the Universe globe.
Andrew: Wow it's going round and round.
Andrew: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Andrew: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Andrew: OW.
Would you look at this, Brianna wants babies.
NGL she looks almost cute as a 70s girl, tho.
And here's the Temple of The Secret Enigma. They bulldozed it so you'll never see it again.
Back at the beach house they had redone the kitchen all homely. I like it. :D
Andrina wondered how Ryan could not believe in Wolferdiggers and Skull-Faced Ladies when he knew Dumbledore existed, because he'd visited him for T'ana and Buck's wedding back in the day. Which for Ryan was like last week.
All the Victorian children suffered from Vitamin difficiency, that's why they had to eat a lot of fruits.
Vitamins make U strongz, and that was good because Virginia needed a good immune defense for the next step of the plan.
Ewww, that's Elena's dad! He's super old now, and he still wants to talk to kids!?!! NOPE.
Ryan: You're insanely brave for doing this, and I understand it means a lot to your family. Just remember that if you succeed the past will have changed, which means your future will change too.
Virginia: I know, but I'm the only one who has a chance to pull it off.
Aylatani: Hello?
Voice: Raaaa...aaaasp.... Ay.... la.... tani....?
Aylatani: Yes, that is me. Who ARE you?
Voice: Not..... *raasp* your.... ene...my... *wheeze* We must... reclaim what... RAAASP once... was real.
Aylatani: What? But do you know about.... How can you know what we're doing?
Voice: I... don't... know what... *wheeEEEeze*.... you're up to... COUGH! I'm just *rasssssp* saying....
Aylatani: Yeah, I want back what's mine too, but I don't understand how anyone else in involved.
Voice: Think... Ayla.... ta... ni *cough rasp wheeze* You're.... an intell... igent... woman....
Aylatani: Uh, thanks.
Phone: *CLICK*
Aylatani went moonbathing, because at night was the only time it was cool enough to expose herself to the elements. And the moonlight is just reflected sunlight, so you can totally get tan from that.
One of the time travellers (Virginia's dad?) called to ask if the plan was ready to go ahead. It will all become clear soon!
Cindrana: I'm so glad you're almost sane now.
Ryan: Me too.
T'ana: It's so weird that Jonathan has been a kid all this time while I've raised two kids that are almost as old as him.
That blonde guy is Harry, and he dates Orca's sister who got old.
Virginia: My mom told me I can't grow up yet, because of something that happened in the past and will happen again in the future if I do. :( It's really confusing sometimes. I know so much about our miserable family past, but not enough to understand.
Salamandra had a hole in her head, and her thoughts were just blowing through. ZOMGOSH YOU CAN SEE HER TEETH IN THERE!!!!
Andi: Wow look! She's got oatmeal coming out behind her ears.
T'ana: ZOMGOSH Virginia! Are you dead?!
The sand was even hot at night. :( Maybe that's how beach glass is formd. The idea of having made a discovery got Aylatani feeling passionate about nature, which was really in the spirit of the age.
Adana: So here's the deal. The hospital where Mom had plastic surgery still exists in this era. She's going there undercover to see if she can stop it from happening. Virginia's going with her, because she needs to steal a lot of medication to take back to the past, so her grandparents can save Imogen the Ingenue. Then Virginia will be free to live her life, safe from evil.
Riana: So we're going to be parent-free for a while? What about Phil?
Adana: Yeah, he's going too. He's going to be the patient.
Riana: Cool, we can have the boys over without Mom knowing exactly what we're doing!
Adana & Riana: *Naughty Giggles*
LOL the time machine! The neighbours thought it was a funky phone booth.
Look, their kitchen cabinets have hippie decor inside!
Cindie: Basically we're going to be the family elders while your great-grandparents(!) are away. Do you think you're ready for that sort of responsibility?
Ryan: Technically, Riana and Adana are older than us.
Cindie: Oh, they are! Well, they'll have to help out then.
Ryan probably needs to get a dog.
Riana: YASS I'm off to work!
Riana: See y'all this afternoooooooooooooon.
JFYI she can't actually fly. Her superhero squad just has a very strong tractor beam they use to transport people to their HQ on the dark side of the moon.
Adana was really happy to be able to be alone with Ryan again. :-/
And I don't think he minded either. Adana knew that this was the furthest she could ever go, without seriously crossing a line she could never uncross, but she lived for the danger. She was a professional gamer, after all, and the adrenaline was the largest component of her blood, even if she's got the Knowledge Aspiration.
She really appreciated helping Ryan deal with his traumatic past experiences.
T'anamika had slept in one of the tents because she was celebrating freedom like a hippie. But by now her feet were used to being cramped into uncomfortavble boots with actual nails in them, and although she wanted to be barefoot all the time she couldn't step on anything without pain. :(
Ryan: You're so beautiful, Adana! Like Bo Derek and Daisy Duke all at once!
T'anamika just shook her head sadly, because this wasn't how she wanted her children to grow up.
Harry moved in for some reason. Maybe he didn't want to go home and face having an 85-year-old girlfriend. When all his friends go out playing paintball with their sweethearts, he's got to hold the yarn for Molly(?) while she crochets, and help oil the brakes on her walker. I would have cried!
Their house got all new windows and a darker colour so it didn't look so much like a big box with no colour. It's still pretty boxy, but at least now it's ugly in a timely way.
Aylatani: I can't believe I'll maybe have my own face back! This is going to be a dangerous adventure, but it's worth it!
Phil was happy at the thought, because that face had suited Aylatani so well!
Virginia was used to help look after her family at home, and suddenly she started making supper without anyone having asked her to. It was really nice of her.
Well maybe Liranda should have thought of that before she started accusing Aylatani of being someone named "Bertha Hortence" who had killed Aylatani????
Ron still had problems with his Ariglacy, but Adana was at work right then.
I thought Ryan was calling himself, LOL! It was Kevin.
Riana: Ryaaaaaaaan, your bro's on the phone!
She interrupted a bedtime story Ryan was telling at the table. It was either very soothing or just really boring, because Adana's eyes were rolling up into her head and she had problems staying awake.
Ryan: Hi, Kevin. Is it you and some people who are camping behind the public toilet down the road? OK, I thought so. Hope your new digs will be better than this house was when we moved in. We just got furniture in the living room.
Ryan: So you don't have a girlfriend yet? Oh but don't worry. A handsome guy like you won't be single for long! Yeah, Cindie and me are really happy! Being apart for a while really spiced things up.
Ryan: Awww, you're my best friend too, Kevin. And definitely my favourite brother. But I look so sane compared to Logan that I can't help but liking the poor bugbear. Hey, would you mind doing me a little favour that would get you out of the tent for a while?
Buck was in the Slacker career, and he needed to learn mechanics.
Aami: It's sad that you're growing up soon, because it's been cool having an uncle my own age!
Jonathan: It was kind of weird at first that my sister came back all grown up and with kids my age. But you're really nice. When you grow up and can legally do cool stuff, we can hang out again.
Johnatan: No she's not home, and you're a creepo!
Phil and Lorla talked about all the ghosts that had haunted the garden of their Victorian house.
Aami remembered the horrid morning they'd gotten The Talk.
Aami: You're lucky you're not growing up, and won't have to get married!
In case you don't remember, Iris is in puberty forever. There's so much different DNA in her that it doesn't know what to do with itself.
Imagine how nice their lives could be if they didn't have all these stupid problems to take care of?
Riana: It's only six years until Polybius is released!
Adana was still a gamer, with the same colleagues and all, but now they were all playing arcade games. It was a bit like Life on Mars. They all remembered her, but not that they'd used to live in another time or anything.
Ryan wanted to be BFFs with Kevin, then it would be as if they were the twins, and not Kevin and Logan.
T'anamika styled up her and Buck's bedroom all fashionably for the time.
Harry still hung out and partied. They gently told him he should probably go home, though. Aamiley liked 70s music.
Riana and Jonathan had a water balloon fight before school because it was so hot. The weather I mean!!!! They don't like each other like THAT!
Riana suddenly noticed Iris was going to the school bus dressed as a goth, which wasn't actually invented yet. She hoped she (Iris) wouldn't get in trouble for that, since colours were really in.
Oooh, that would have been really cutting edge! I think kids would like a game about rabbits better than maths? But I don't really get the whole thing about modern kids not being able to learn stuff the same way our parents and grandparents did. My teachers always try to spin it so they make it sound like it's because we're much more advanced humans then they were at our age, but what they're actually saying sounds more like they're implying we're too stupid and need more teaspoons of learning. :(
(TigerAnne just piped up to say that when she was at school, the teachers just flat out told the kids they lacked the skills of previous years' children.)
CRAP! x( But at least Aylatani has fulfilled that LTW, so she can just move on. Now she wants to become a chef. That's kind of funny, because it's what Phil was, and he hated it.
Also LOLWUT? Everyone just stopped speaking the language? Like starting immediately?
Aylatani: Oh no, someone has already stolen our newspaper, and it's the 70s so we don't have a computer!!!! If the PM comes to the restaurant, I'll put a booger in his food!
OH NO NOT THE TOILET FETISH!??
Whatever turns you on, I guess. O_O
Ryan's friends with the other Kevin too, Kevin Duckling. They work together in the newspaper. Kevin's really happy whenever there's a good murder case.
Living in the corrupt 70s should really suit him. Maybe he needs a moustache.
Virginia: No, she does not want to talk to a geriatric pervert like yourself. Goodday to you, Sir!
I don't care that he's Elena's dad, and Sean and Stephen's. If he shows up on their lot, he DIES! Poor Sadie, she's so pretty. She shouldn't have to be married to such an old creeeep!
Phil left roses for Aylatani at the most romantic spot he could think of.
Then Jonathan experimented with drinks!
He'd always wanted something special, like his Dad had the explosion, T'ana had all her urban mysteriousity and Nerniya had her bad attitude.
The Pack Leader knew.
Lora talked about how worried she had been for her grandchildren, until Sadie found homes for the three that weren't heirs. Now she was worried about her upcoming great-grandchildren.
Poor Iris just couldn't get a tan.
Ever since Aylatani and Phil became Perma Plat, they've been these super romantic sweethearts. You'd never suspect that Phil had once kidnapped Aylatani at axe-point (but that hasn't happened in the reality they live in now, because Phil changed the past) and forced her to marry him in a field full of dumpster furniture. It shows that no matter how crappily your story begins, you can always have a better chapter 2!
Phil: Remember Diaper-Man, when he was supposed to be the most dangerous thing available? He was just misunderstood and immature for his age. You need to really look into things before you draw conclutions, and not read tabloid newspapers. We're about to leave all you young people alone for a while, so you should listen to our words of sage advice.
T'ana was chilling in the comfortable control chair of the Time Machine, so she didn't hear the wisdom.
Headline: "Strange phenomenon: Nixon's nose has grown by an inch in recent years. Was Pinocchio based on real events? Can you turn into wood?"
T'ana: My senses are tingling that someone's crushing on me right now.
LOLEWWW!
T'ana: Edgar, what are you doing?
Edgar: I'm here to tell you some important information. For most of my life I've felt terribly guilty for swapping Tani's medical journal with a fake one, so she got a whole face transplant instead of just a nose-job. That was a terrible thing to do. So I want to tell you how you can get her real face back. It's in a freezer in the basement of that hospital, room 54Y-LH563. I don't know how she'll put it back on, but Phil's a mad scientist. He'll figure it out.
T'ana: But how are you here? Aren't you inventing the wheel? How did you know where we were?`
Edgar: Because I "borrowed" Phil's Time Machine. Then I found some guy to run it through a duplicator, so I had one as well. Then I returned the original in the middle of the night, but not before I had installed a tracker.
T'ana: Your a real creep, I hope you know that. You'd better come inside and talk to the family.
Edgar: Having children has made me experience what it's like to care about something other than revenge. Now I want to be a better guy, so they can be proud of me and have a good role model so they don't go to prison again.
Edgar: We probably still have to be enemies because you hate me to Uranus and back, but I won't try to sabotage you anymore.
Riana: How can we trust anything you say?
Edgar: Because I know you have a lie-detector, and you can test me in it.
Maikana came to visit. She worsk wtih Ryan, as his boss.
How to be Ryan's type: Be one of his grandma's sisters. x( He's Phil's grandson after all.
Phil practiced his patient-act with Adana, so he wouldn't mess up.
Since Ryan had started hanging out with the Duckling dudes (Apollo and Kevin) he'd become very cheerfully morbid. But Aami didn't like him talking like that, because she'd grown up hearing the story about Imogen's terrible death. She found her grave in the woods when she was a child. It wasn't really her grave, but Aami didn't know that for many years.
Andi and Jonathan always got along really well, but now Jonathan was growing up. He promised himself he'd be like a cool big brother to the girls.
Edgar didn't like birthdays.
Or maybe he did? O.O Everyone gathered in the living room to celebrate Jonathan growing into this manhood.
That's not going to be his style.
Ryan: We're not Victorians in this house, okay kid?
Aami: They told me you'd be like this.
JFTR Aami was already in the bathroom when Ryan came in and disrobed. He really liked the 70s.
Sometimes Tani was contemplating her life and wondered just how she'd ended up like she had.
I'm sorry?
Awww, he really loves her!
Hayden the Hippie Receptionist: Oh hello, can I help you?
Tani: Yes, my husband is terribly ill!
Hayden: Oh wow, I can see that! I'll get doctor Jefferson! What is the patient's name and date of birth?
Tani: Phil Collins, born 4th of November in 19... uh, he's 37 years old. Next of kind are myself - Tina Collins - and our daughter Victoria, who's 14.
Hayden: Okay. Mr. Collins, please follow me to the examination room and wait for the doctor.
Phil: Hai doctor! I seem to have gotten an embarrassing little problem. He he he...
Dr. Jefferson: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!
Why is there a row of skin-toned pixels in front of Jefferson's pants? O_O
Poor Jefferson, he fainted on sight.
Infectology specialist Irene Montoya put Phil into isolation, until they could figure out what his problem was.
Mr Hummel even has to travel in time to deliver computers! No wonder he always looks ready to kill someone. Tani swiped it, because her house didn't have one anymore.
Tani: My husband has an undiscovered disease! I'm so worried about him!
Keith Rowntree: That's terribly! My deepest sympathies!
Eric Becker: What your father has is so rare it's never been observed in humans before! He'll be in all the textbooks!
Virginia: Really? Like Imogen Crane?
Eric: Yes! That was a terrible case! I'm surprised you have heard about it, though.
Virginia: I'm descended from her sister. :(
Irene Montoya: We have placed your husband in an artificial coma. If he shows signs of waking up, please let us know. You may observe him though a glass window from the next room.
Doctor Jefferson was using the terrible pre-internet online text-based stuff to look through all databases for symptoms that matched Phil. Hayden searched their family genialogy to see if she could trace them back to a specific source, but she couldn't find out how they were connected to the Crane family. Fake identities were a lot more userfriendly before internet and DNA.
Suddenly Tani got the flu, and she was put in the hospital too. LOL that rhymed!
Adrian Derringer, who was the drummer in Keith's band, also had it.
Meanwhile Phil had run out of sleeping drug, and was plotting how to get access to the basement. He thought maybe he could bribe the janitor.
Hayden was talking to her friends on the phone, because it was her lunch break. She didn't have a cellphone, because they were the size of a rolling suitcase and cost a million bux.
Irene Montoya was testing out a new theory she had heard, that exercise was good for you.
The equipment scared Adrian.
But he was sedated and then he didn't care. Zzzzzzzzz
Victoria (secret identity): Hi?
Voice: .... RASP! Vir...gin...i...a?
Victoria: Yes it's me. How nice of you to call.
Voice: How... *wheeze* are you?
Victoria: I'm fine. Tani and Phil have been very nice to me. We've got to stay here though, because we've got the flu.
Voice: Good... raa...sp, very.... good. Not... COUGH!! the... flu... That they're.... good people.... WHEEZE... Is the.... plan..... *coughrasp* going... accord...ingly?
Victoria: I don't know. We only just got here. I need to read up on what kind of medicine they'd use to treat cholera and typhoid, because no one here gets those.
Voice: You brave.... raaaaaasp.... brilliant.... girl. Take.... care. *CLICK!*
Jefferson: I'm sorry about cold sausages and potato salad, but our patients are allergic to food with taste. And you have the flu.
Irene: WHAT ARE YOU DOING UP???????
Phil: I'm feeling a lot better, so I'm taking out your trash. Is the disposal unit in the basement?
Irene: No, there's one right outside the door, and GO BACK TO BED! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE IN ISOLATION IN A COMA!
Dr Jefferson started sobbing a cryingly sorrowfull of tears.
Tina: I'll take him back to his room. Don't worry.
Dr Jefferson: HIS FACE!! HIS TERRIBLE FACE! I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT BEFOOOOOOOOOOORE!!!!!!!
Tani and Vickie got a boring white room with a curtain. Aylatani wanted the bed next to the window, so Vicky had to sleep under the PSAs about venomous spiders and bugs. She felt them watching her with all their buggy little eyes. Spiders have eight of them, one for each pair of legs. It must be like watching a TV show in an electronics store.
One time I was with Jolene and Dad to get a tumble-dryer, and I got bored because they took so long in selecting one. I started watching all the screens, but it was just the same news channel (like Fox or CNN or someone) on all of them, so I got bored again. So I found a remote control behind the check-out when the employee left to go help a customer, and that one totally worked! I started flipping through channels like a kid in a candy shop. Then suddenly I found an X-rated channel. I panicked and flipped again, and the next one was X-rated too! Then an employee came running and I panicked even more. I ran out of the shop as fast as my legs could carry me, and unfortunately I still had the remote. I threw it behind me and ran out of the strip mall and all the way to the car, and lucky the dude from the shop wasn't following me. He must have stopped to get the remote instead.
Dad and Jolene were scandalised, and Dad was liquid with anger. He reported the shop to the HQ, because they weren't really supposed to have that channel, so someone got in trouble for it. I didn't tell him what I'd done, because he thought I'd been scared by the sudden p0rn. So he got us all burgers and ice cream on the way home, and we got a discount on the dryer. But don't try that for yourself.
Phil snuck into the kitchen to make breakfast, because he didn't like hospital porrige.
Phil: I hope this stuff won't drip into the pancakes, it probably tastes even worse than it smells.
The doctors came home after responding to an emergency elsewhere.
Jefferson: Dr Montoya!! Jillian Haynes just fell unconscious!
Jefferson: I'm so tired! This hospital is too short staffed!
Eric: Oh no, poor Jillian! Who will treat the doctor?
Dr Riley was so tired he dreamt there was a chair behind him.
Jefferson: Oh noezzzzzzznorffzz....
Vickie noticed that the hospital possibly had a piltergeist. There were lots of books and mags on the floor.
And a small tree was in the blender.
One of the senile dementia patients was walzing about outside. He didn't know how to dress himself anymore.
Piper Dimwit: This guy looks just like the veterinarian we get worm pills for our pets from.
Jefferson woke up and discovered that he'd fallen asleep with his boots in wet cement.
The old man put on a uniform and went off to the army. He's their problem now.
Kevin: You mustn't jump on the couch, kiddo. This is The Chapel of No Particular Faith. You need to show respect.
Vickie: Oh, I'm so sorry. Chapels back home are a lot more religious, I thought this was just a room. You look just like this one guy I know.
Kevin: Yeah, I have a brother who looks a lot like me. His name's Ryan.
Vickie: Right, that's him.
Phil also ran away for the night, to practice his mad science while the staff slept.
Kevin: We're camping just down the street from you, behind the toilets and that red phone booth! It's been nice all the time it's been summer, but we need to build a house before winter comes.
Eric found an eureka in the library.
Kevin: I'm here to pretend I'm my brother Ryan, and try to steal his medical files, because he wants to know if he's supposed to be crazy or something.
Vickie: [not listning]
Piper thought it was all really weird.
Jefferson accidentally fell asleep in Vickie's bed, so she had to sleep in another ward.
Jefferson: OH NO, I'VE SPENT THE NIGHT WITH MRS. COLLINS! IT'S AGAINST THE LAW TO GET FAMILIAR WITH PATIENTS OR THEIR RELATIVES!
Hayden: HEEEEELP!! I'M TRAPPED IN THE BATHROOM WITH THAT PATIENT!
Phil: Don't you think you're overreacting a bit now?
Hayden almost made it to a bed before she passed out in horror.
Tani: The Viking 2 space craft has launched successfully!
Meanwhile, Kevin had found a secret mind-reading gun.
He was supposed to be Ryan and act a bit strangely, so he went up on the roof and jumped rope next to Jillian's unconscious body.
Piper was just looking at the view, not contemplating ending it all! Health and Safety put up a fence around the roof terrace the next day.
Aylatani: You look terrible! I mean, that's a compliment. How are things working out?
Phil: Great. I'm scheduled for chemical cleansing later today.
Tani was off to her new job as a hostess.
Suddenly this old man came in and proceded to kiss Phil!
Maybe the other side of his face looked better? T_T Probably not.
Phil: I would have liked it better if it was an old lady.
Phil had to take a special bath outside in the parking lot. He suddenly discovered that there was a man already in the tub, who had the same hairdresser as him.
Irene Montoya said that the other guy also had to admit himself to hospital now.
Aylatani met Annabelle at work. Oh, and she got promoted. :)
Kevin also got promoted, and he brought Laurelin over to visit.
Francie Magpie came to pay respects.
Vickie had to take computer lessons. She thought it was really difficult, because she wasn't used to technology at all and 70s tech was really hard to use anyway.
Laurelin and Hayden started arguing about who wore their paisley shirts better.
Dr Riley drew a picture to hang on the wall, because there was a lot of wall in the building.
It was good to feel clean again, but Phil had to think of a new step in the plan.
Eric: Self medication is not allowed in this health care facility!
There was a lot of prison reforms going on that were the talk of the day. Back then people could have civilised discussions. My English teacher said that it was because they were less enlightened. They didn't know all the stuff that makes people angry nowadays.
Eric gave Phil a stern lecture about how coma-patients were supposed to behave, and how he was not doing it.
Old Leo was really happy to find someone who wanted to hear about the old days. It reminded Victoria about home.
Phil: That Eric guy need to watch it!
Tani: You should do something about your incontinince, Eric. It's treatable nowadays.
Tani: It's more common than pollen allergy, nothing to be ashamed of. Here, have some paper, because this is yesterday's news.
Annabelle was fascinated by the educational posters.
Laurelin worked on an invention. Jefferson thought it looked very promising.
Look at Aylatani and Laurelin next to each other. Once they looked exactly the same. :( Tani had decided that when she got her face back she'd want to still be a brunette, so that Laurelin and her could be twins with different hair colours, like Adana and Riana.
T'anamika and Jonathan came around to observe.
And all the patients were encouraged to read and study, to keep their intelligence sharp.
That's all for now! I hope you enjoyed seeing the Starblooms again!
