Meeting of the Families at Genco Olive Oil Co.

[Moonbear]

They just barge in wanting to add the softener and...well...they add the softener alright.

Well, nobody told you you had to stop doing whatever you were doing when we walked in.

 

[franznietzsche]

Well, nobody told you you had to stop doing whatever you were doing when we walked in.

We don't want you watching.

 

[Artman]

We don't want you watching.

Read that analysing our laundry techniques. You know, how we shake and stroke and fluff and press, and shake and stroke and fluff and press, over and over and over...building up more and more suds and...swirling and straining against the insides...and...and...

Uh, where was I?

 

[hypatia]

OMG the washers overflowing!

 

[franznietzsche]

OMG the washers overflowing!

Yeah they do that sometimes when they get overly excited...

 

[Artman]

OMG the washers overflowing!

No one put any softener in that load.

 

[franznietzsche]

No one put any softener in that load.

Sorry, i must have gotten distracted.

 

[Danger]

We don't want you watching.

I think maybe you do; otherwise you would have locked the door.

 

[franznietzsche]

I think maybe you do; otherwise you would have locked the door.

No i was hoping someone else would walk in

 

[Danger]

No i was hoping someone else would walk in

Why? Did you send out invitations?

 

[Moonbear]

We have more important matters to discuss. The thread has given us the slip! Did anyone see where it went?

Which of you guys was in here goofing off when you were supposed to be on guard duty?!

 

[Danger]

Which of you guys was in here goofing off when you were supposed to be on guard duty?!

It ain't my fault! There's so damn many threads 'round here that I got followin' the wrong one.

 

[Moonbear]

It ain't my fault! There's so damn many threads 'round here that I got followin' the wrong one.

Yep, it's a clever thread, just blended into the crowd and gave us the slip.

 

[Danger]

Yep, it's a clever thread, just blended into the crowd and gave us the slip.

I think maybe it's one o' them monofilermint things. They's damn near invisible.

 

[Moonbear]

I think maybe it's one o' them monofilermint things. They's damn near invisible.

Hmm...I dunno. I thought we determined it was kevlar. What color is kevlar thread?

 

[Danger]

What color is kevlar thread?

Kinda pale white.

 

[Moonbear]

Kinda pale white.

Quick, someone change the color scheme here to black so we can find it!

 

[Danger]

Quick, someone change the color scheme here to black so we can find it!

That's easy! Jeez... turn the lights off.

 

[Moonbear]

I suspect the Evo and Integral families have kidnapped the thread.

 

[Danger]

I suspect the Evo and Integral families have kidnapped the thread.

Could very well be. That Integral does have beady eyes, and Evo... well, anybody who'd drink Tabasco buttermilk can't be entirely trusted.

 

[Moonbear]

I think we need to organize a raid on the mentor's forum and find our thread!

I should also point out that it hasn't gone unnoticed that it has disappeared as we approach April 1 (well, it's technically already April 1 here, but the thread disappeared a bit before then).

 

[Danger]

I think we need to organize a raid on the mentor's forum and find our thread!

Lead on, McDuff! I mean, McBear. I shall follow you blindly, for I haven't the vaguest notion of where you're going.

<Unfurls battle banner>

{Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil... for I am the meanest son of a ***** in the valley.}

 

[Moonbear]

Lead on, McDuff! I mean, McBear. I shall follow you blindly, for I haven't the vaguest notion of where you're going.

Darn! Neither do I. I was hoping someone else knew where the secret entrance was.

I guess we just have to wait for the ransom note so I know which family has the thread.

If it's the Integral family, I have this fine assortment of t-bone steaks and filet mignon all ready to toss on the grill.

If it's the Evo family, I have this wonderful chocolate-hazelnut flourless cake I made.

 

[Math Is Hard]

You could always ask Tsu. She's snuck into the Mentor's forum before.

 

[franznietzsche]

You could always ask Tsu. She's snuck into the Mentor's forum before.

Only cause she can bribe Ivan for his password.

 

[Math Is Hard]

or torture Ivan for his password.

 

[Danger]

I have this wonderful chocolate-hazelnut flourless cake I made.

Would that be the one with the yummy pistachio icing?

Only cause she can bribe Ivan for his password.

So can Moonbear, just so long as Tsu isn't watching.

 

[franznietzsche]

or torture Ivan for his password.

Is there a difference between bribe and torture?

This is ivan after all.

 

[Moonbear]

Would that be the the one with the yummy pistachio icing?

Darn! That reminds me too late of Ivan's trick of making icing that looks black using LOTS of blue food coloring so the victim's mouth turns blue and they pee blue. Guess I'll have to save that for another year.

Oooops. I just got back from my DAY job, and when I couldn't find any pizza, well, I ate some of the cake. I was heading for a filet mignon, but I slipped on something...something all over the floor, and now all over me! Now I need to do some laundry (tee-hee, it's my turn at last!) Oh m'gosh -- where's the thread!

 

[Moonbear]

Meh, that's okay, I already stole a piece of the cake too.

I don't even want to know what you slipped on though. Franz was in here earlier, and you know how those young guys can get. I think he was supposed to be watching the thread and he got distracted with all that fabric softener.

You're the one who left it out for me to find

 

[Moonbear]

You're the one who left it out for me to find

But that was for AFTER your thread-sitting shift was over.

 

[franznietzsche]

But that was for AFTER your thread-sitting shift was over.

Since when have i ever been patient?

I want it now damn it!

 

[Moonbear]

Oooooh, Iiiiiiiivaaaaan! Would you be a darling and take a peek in the mentor's forum and see if Evo and Integral have our thread tied up in a corner there somewhere?

Okay, Franz, you watch our backs. Danger, when Ivan heads to the mentor's forum, we rush the door while it's unlocked. SOS, keep an eye on Franz. If we don't come back out, get Tsu to activate the emergency extraction plans.
