First Recipe

[Ned's been sort of off the grid, keeping to himself in his pod. Because as soon as he heard about the rodent invasion, there was no way he was going to challenge them. He's never had a good relationship with rodents, anyway...

He's been feeling very stressed. And who can blame him? Probably everyone is feeling stressed, to be fair. But Chuck isn't

[When her voice pipes in there is some general background noise: the wheezing snore of Groucho the capybara, the gentle breeze blowing past her open pod door, a jack-mouse squeaking from it's new jar home. It's probably a good thing that rabbits don't really make noise outside of death or pain, huh? Might be a bit unsettling to know that she has kept a few of these little furballs for herself.

She sounds pretty much tickled at life, despite the rough couple of days everyone has been having.]

Ain't seen no sign'a him yet, Ned. Makin' the best'a things here, though, ya know? No sign yet of yer broad, huh?

[She sounds genuinely sorry that Ned hasn't found Chuck yet; he was a sweet kid.]

[He tries not to notice that Harley just called Chuck a broad... he's met her. She just has a different vernacular.]

No, no Chuck... But I'm glad you seem to be pretty comfortable, then. Or, at least you sound cheerful enough... [Maybe Ned should take a page from Harley's book and figure out how to get by here without Chuck...]

[Doesn't Harley just have the sweetest turn of phrase possible? She never considers that the terms will be taken poorly .. well, sometimes she knows it will, but other times she's just running off at the mouth. It's her charm, really! in her defense, she likes Ned and has nothing against Chuck, so it's meant in a _nice_ way!]

Ain't nothin' I can do about it right now, ya know? I mean, if I could go home, I would .. an' there is a chance Mistah J might end up here, so I just keep positive! Maybe yer Chuck will show up with a batch'a people at some point. Til then ya gotta keep busy an' keep yer chin up!

[Doesn't she sound like a bubble of happy??]
