Chapter 8

Balloon Man!

I have a sheep! Sheep! Sheep!
His name is Joe! Joe! Joe!
He cuts my lawn! Lawn! Lawn!
That much I know! Know! Know!

Kate: Welcome to the Sharpie Show!

Max: Today we have a special guest and. . . um. . . Kate, why are you wearing chaps and a ten gallon hat?

Kate: ^_^ It's in honor of todays guests, Texan natives Lee Scoresby and Hester!

Max: You look stupid.

Kate: Ah, what do you know, fig leaf boy.

Max: *twitch*

*Lee and Hester materialize*

Lee: *blink* What am I doing here?

Kate: BALLOON MAN! BALLOON MAN! HIYA LEE!*pulls off hat and waves it at Lee*

Lee: Nice hat!

Kate: *raspberries Max* See? LEE likes my hat!

Max: -.-

Lee: Wait. . . who are you? How did we get here?

Kate: I'm Kate! And this is Max. He has no taste.

Max: -.-

Lee: Howdy, ma'am.

Kate: *giggles* He said howdy. . .

Max: And you've been TEMPORARILY RE-ANIMATED! BWAHAHAHA! XD

Lee: O.o Why?

Kate: So that we can ask you questions! This is. . .

Kate/Max: THE SHARPIE SHOW!

Max: The show where we kidnap and/or temporarily re-animate His Dark Materials characters and force them to answer our questions!

Lee: . . . does that hurt?

Max: *evil grin* Only if you're uncooperative. . . *fingers his spatula*

Kate: *whacks Max with her microphone* Quit going evil on us and ask Lee a question.

Max: Ow! Lizz asks. . .

Kate: *waves* HI LIZZ! ^_^

Max: Why am I always getting interrupted?! WHY!?

Kate: Shut up and ask the question.

Max: *glare* Lizz asks Lee "how many moos could a moo cow moo if a moo cow could moo moos?"

Lee: The answer is 34!

Kate: Wow!

Max: I never would have guessed it!

Kate: Morpherkidvb asks Lee "Do you think it was unfair that Max had to ask all the 'Thurston(?!?)' questions? Are you going to start a defense league like ITIUTMHTAATTQ? I think it's unfair that Max had to ask all the Thurston questions? Well I don't! I think he got what he deserved, running around in fig leaves, scaring small children... "

Max: AAAAAUGH! *falls off his chair*

Lee: Who is Thurston? And who had fig leaves?

Kate: *giggles* Max once ran around my neighborhood on Halloween wearing nothing but a skirt of fig leaves after he ate all his candy and a bunch of Mountain Dew! Lizz gave me pictures! XD

Max: *glare* I will have my revenge!

Kate: I'm sure you will, fig-leaf boy.

Max: Morpherkidvb asks Hester "Are you going to join ITIUTMHTAATTQ as well?"

Hester: I might, if I knew who Thurston was.

Kate: No you wounldn't! Thurston pulls the limbs off of small animals for sadistic pleasure!

Hester: O.o

Kate: A_troubled_girl asks Lee "didn't u feel betrayed when Grumman left u alone so dat u could fight da army by yourself n den u died? *dat waz SO sad!*"

Lee: Well, I did kinda tell him to go. . . but YES! *sniffle*

Kate: Awww! *gives Lee a cookie*

Lee: Yum! *eats cookie*

Max: Skyechan asks. . . O.o Uh. . . Kate, YOU ask this question.

Kate: No way, it's YOUR turn! ^_^

Max: . . . Skyechan asks Lee "*_* Lee... *glomps Lee* Didja know you're my favorite character? XD What's it like to die? I was saaaaaaaaaaaaad when you died cause you're so cool. *_* Do like cheeeeeeeeeeeeeese? I like cheeeeeeeeeeeeese! *continues to hang off Lee*"

Kate: Hee hee! I like you too! I was sad when you died! I was getting acupuncture when I read it. . .actually I was lying on the table all full of needles and I made my mom read to me, and she read that part and you died and I was all sad, but I was full of needles and acupuncture makes you all relaxed and stuff so I couldn't cry. . .

Max: O.o yeah, we really needed to know that. . .

Kate: Max doesn't like needles.

Lee: Uh. . . I'm mighty flattered that you like me that much. And it's not very much fun to die. It hurt a lot.

Max: Gee, you think? I thought getting shot multiple times was pleasent! *sarcasm meter explodes*

Kate: Cheese is guuuuud ^_^

Lee: Yes it is!

Max: O.o

Kate/Lee: Well, it is!

Kate: AngelFade asks Lee "HIYA!!!!! Mr. Scoresby, are you from TEXAS??? "

Lee: Yes. Yes I am.

Kate: I LIKE TEXAS!! ^_^

Max: You've never even BEEN to Texas.

Kate: So? I still like it!

Max: AngelFade asks Hester "I like bunnies. ^_^ My friend raises bunnies! Will you marry one of her bunnies?"

Kate: Bunnies. . . hee hee hee. . .

Hester: . . . No thank you, I'd rather not marry a rabbit. I am a daemon, and a hare at that.

Kate: *giggle* Bunnies. . . Jehane Wizardborn asks Lee "Did you ever at any time consume an excess amount of tequila and become intoxicated and black out while buying a lifetime supply of chocolate pudding and wake up in bed between two unknowns with a splitting headache and then realize that your nether regions were covered in tabasco sauce? And if so... would you do it again?"

Lee: Well I have consumed tequila. . . I've never bought a lifetime supply of chocolate pudding. . .

Max: WHY NOT?!

Lee: O.o . . .and I have woken up with a splitting headache, but never with my. . . nether regions covered in tabasco sauce.

Kate: That sounds painful.

Lee: But if that did happen. . . YOU BET I'D DO IT AGAIN!

Kate: O.O

Max: WOOHOO! XD

Hester: . . .

Max: Jehane Wizardborn asks Hester "What is the average air velocity of a sparrow carrying a coconut? And when you hear that question is the first image that pops into your head closest to a llama in neon orange boxer shorts, three sumo wrestlers having a pie-eating contest, or Lord Asriel dressing in drag and dancing the flemenco with Jennifer Lopez?"

Hester: 17 miles per hour.

Kate: really!?

Hester: No, I just like the number 17.

Kate: Nine is better.

Hester: And no I do not think of llamas, sumo wrestlers eating pie, or a cross dressing Lord Asriel.

Kate: *giggle* llamas. . .

Max: What DO you think of, then?

Hester: A creepy old man with long white hair and long, shiny nails and a glass ball.

Kate: SARUMAN OF THE GIRLY HANDS! AAAAAAAAUGH! *falls off her chair*

Max: This is a His Dark Materials 'fic! No Lord of the Rings references! *whacks Kate*

Kate: Aww, you never let me have any fun! Fisbait aks Lee "Do you think your spiffy? Why do you hate killing people."

Lee: I suppose I do think I'm spiffy. . . if that's a good thing. . .

Kate: It is!

Lee: But killing people isn't fun. . . those people have families and people who they love to go home too, and who am I to kill them and take that all away?

Max: Oh gag me. tigress247 asks "ask Lee WHY, WHY in the name of the Authority did he have to die! *bursts into tears* it was sooo sad!"

Kate: Yes, it was! *sobs*

Lee: I had to die so that Grumman could get to Lyra! Otherwise she would have been in deep trouble and gotten hurt.

Kate: tigress247 also asks "How can you be here if Iorek ate you? hmm?give hester a hug for me!"

Lee: *hugs Hester* Well I. . . he WHAT?! O.O

Max: Sure! That was a cool scene! After he found out you were dead, he ATE you!

Lee: O.o

Kate: Well. . . he only did it because it would be such a waste to just let you rot or let some other animal eat you. ..

Lee: Oh, I feel so comforted.

Max: Well whaddaya know. That's all the time we have.

Kate: Awww, but I don't want Lee to go! I like him!

Max: By now we usually don't have much of a choice.

Lee: I could stay a bit longer. . .

Max: O.o you mean you're not terrified out of your mind? You're not ready to run out of the trashcan, screaming in sheer terror?

Lee: Why would I do that?

Kate: SQUEEE! LEE LIKES US! ^_^

Max: OH NO! WE'RE LOOSING OUR TOUCH! AAAAAAAUGH! *runs around in circles*

Kate: *watches Max and gets dizzy* Uh. . . wanna go get some tabasco sauce and chocolate pudding?

Lee: Sure.
