[A slight change has been made to one of the titles on the "Recommended Viewing" shelf at the Video-rama. It now reads: Abbott and Costello and Ricochet Meet Frankenstein. Meanwhile, from outside--]

Hey--Bud? Lou? Dracula?

... guys?

[Do I need a reason to be in the video-rama? I shun this obsolete ancient technology! ...And yet, here anyway. And, hey, I know that voice.]

[astalavampire]

....Which, of course, was the sensible thing to do...?

[just! kind of looking around, peering behind shelves, wherever a costume might be hiding]

Re: --LOCKED

[2nd_slinger]

Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time... Civvies are a little less conspicuous than skin-tight spandex, y'know?

[Fortunately, despite the name, there is no actual porn to be found inside the Video-rama & Porn Hut. It's just a really nice sign he'd hate to get rid of.]

Re: --LOCKED

[astalavampire]

Yes, I imagine that's true. Though this... isn't an unpleasant change.

[aaaand looking behind the counter now, yup]

Re: --LOCKED

[2nd_slinger]

Hey, if you're dissin' the spandex, just know that I didn't pick the threads... That's how the costume came.

[Uh... huh. Men are pigs. And I'm a man.]

[astalavampire]

[looks over her shoulder at him]

I didn't say that. Only that it's... nice to be able to see your face when I'm talking to you.

Re: --LOCKED

[2nd_slinger]

Well, not like it's anythin' special... Got the usual configuration of accessories, an' all that.

Re: --LOCKED

[astalavampire]

I'm going to have to take your word for it.

[behind the counter now, crouching down and checking out the shelves and drawers and what have you]

...You said it was a comedic story you were trapped in?

Re: --LOCKED

[2nd_slinger]

[Heading back there to help, for a change of pace.]

Yeah, exactly... It was a crossover sorta thing--kinda like what we've got goin' on in camp, actually. Abbott an' Costello were this great team of comedians, an' the movie put their sorta slapstick humor in the format of a horror movie. And it rocked.

Re: --LOCKED

[astalavampire]

...I see.

It occurs to me that we're looking in rather... normal places. That doesn't quite fit in with this place's modus operandi.

Re: --LOCKED

[2nd_slinger]

... it's kinda hard t'describe. But I... y'know, I could actually show you the film, if y'wanted.

Hey, sounds good--I'm outta ideas. Y'got somethin' in mind, princess?

Re: --LOCKED

[astalavampire]

...All right.

[considers]

Where is the last place you'd expect to find it?

Re: --LOCKED

[2nd_slinger]

... rock on, then.

Your room. ... I dunno. I've been meanin' t'wash it again lately, but I was kinda interrupted there by the whole trapped in the movie thing.

Re: --LOCKED

[astalavampire]

My room where the tiger is, you mean? ...There's a new addition to the camp. I believe it was called a... laundromat? Someone from my world was having... difficulty with one of the machines there.

[decides not to mention the part where the washing machine ate the clothes Tres was attempting to wash]

Re: --LOCKED

[2nd_slinger]

Hey, I love cats. A laundromat? Sweet! Yeah, we've totally gotta check that out, then.

Re: --LOCKED

[astalavampire]

...Riiiight. Very well. I'll... show you were it is, then.

[leads the way!]
