[grudgingly, she takes out the device and pushes the voice command button]

I'm not getting shocked again.

[she glances outside the window]

Well, it looks like the rain finally cleared up. Did anyone get hurt?

mood: restless

[a short cry of surprise as the device shocks her]

What the... What's going on?! Oh, don't tell me these things are acting like the mistletoe now...

location: ??? mood: annoyed

People getting shrunk or turning into hats and statues... Well, I didn't think there would be a crazier place than New York, but I guess I was wrong.

[She walks outside and shivers from the cold even as she admires the pristine white setting.]

The snow looks so clean... I'm impressed.

( [Johnny Garland] )

Hey, has anyone found a way to take off the mistletoe without getting shocked? What about wearing rubber gloves?

location: Latimir - Room 208 mood: amused

Johnny, when did you hang up these herbs all over the apartment?

[She peers at it curiously and inhales the woodsy scent.]

Mmm... they smell kind of nice. Are these the Christmas things everyone was talking about?

location: Latimir - Room 104 mood: curious

Johnny? Lenny? Where are you guys?

[Shuffling noises as she walks around for a bit.]

This place is a mess. It doesn't look anything like New York.

…Johnny, if this is one of your jokes, it’s really not funny. Hilda’s not around, so you can’t blame her for being a bad influence. Did you convince Roger Bacon to drop me off somewhere? ...Not that I remember getting on his airship.

[A moment of silence passes, and then she emits a low sigh of impatience.]

Forget it. If you’re not gonna show up, I’ll find a way back on my own.
