I am Lina Inverse! The absolutely amazing and rather charming sorceress extraordinaire. ::looks around with a quizzical expression at the very plush brown leather sofa's and large black box in the corner of the nicely proportioned white room:: Unfortunately I have no clue where I'm at. ::hands are placed behind her head::

Um, Lina. howed we get here? ::Gourry glances around and scratches his head looking slightly dazed::

::Lina smacks him on the back of the head and he falls in a very amusing heap onto the floor:: DUH! How would I know? I've only been with you the entire time.

::cautiously they both move around the room. Gourry steps up to the first couch and pokes it with a stick questioningly:: Hello?

Gourry. ::rolls eyes:: that isn't some sort of animal. It looks like a seat to me. ::she runs over and jumps on it bouncing up and down happily in a cross-legged position::

Come on, try it out ::pats the seat next to her::

Ok whatever you say Lina. ::loses all reservation and plops down on the couch very heavily:: Hey this feels good.

::puts her index finger up to her cheek and tilts her head grinning:: Told you so. ::suddenly she hops up curiosity glimmering in her red eyes:: HEY what do you think that is? ::points at the black box::

I don't know, but hey it has little buttons on it. ::he walks up and before she can get a word through.::

Gourry, I don't think that's such a g-goooo.:: walks up behind him quickly::

Hey this one's larger than the others! ::Gourry reaches out his index finger and presses the biggest button on the large black box. suddenly sound bursts into the room and the front of the box lights up with color::

AH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ::they both scream and run to hide behind the couch::

WHAT IS THAT THING? ::Gourry shouts as he's covering his ears with his hands to stop what sounds like an explosion::

WHAT?!?!?!?!? ::Lina shouts back her ears being covered too::

I said. WHAT IS THAT THING? ::he shouts again::

WHAT?!?!?!?!? ::she shouts again her eyes are wide and she's covering her head with her hands::

I SAID WHAT I- ::suddenly the sound stops and what sounds like a lullaby is coming from the box:: S THAT THING!!! ::Gourry's voice echoes in the room::

Oh. well you didn't have to shout.

::Gourry face faults::

::Lina stands up and walks over near the box warily and eyes it her hands up in front of her::

::the box is singing. when suddenly it changes to show some sort of lizard speaking into a large round metal thing::

::Lina stares:: Ok this is weird.

Box: I am a gecko not to be confused with Geico, which can save you hundreds on car insurance. So, STOP CALLING ME!

::Gourry is watching enraptured:: VERY weird!

::they both sit quietly in the middle of the of the florr cross-legged (Gourry slightly behind Lina, like always) and watch as some weird gold colored fish swim across the screen singing something like::

Box: It's the snack that smiles back until you bite their heads off. The snack that smiles back Goldfish!

Hey, does this thing know you Lina? ::Gourry grins slightly::

::sweat drops and then smacks him with it:: NO!!

::they sit in silence for a minute::

::Lina looks at Gourry:: Do those look like goldfish to you?

No. but they are goldy

::looks again at the screen wich is suddenly showing a huge baked ham and several chicken dinners::

::Lina's eyes become huge and she sticks her face right up against the screen, positively salivating at the mouth:: I'm sooooooooooo hungry!

::suddenly the box zooms back into the bright vibrant colors and pulsates with sound::

::Lina jumps back and throwing her hands in front of her throws out a huge fireball exploding the television set into millions of little pieces:: Well that takes care of that. ::she rubs her hands together and blows on them slightly::

Awwwwww, Lina.I like watching that thing!::Gourry looks really disappointed kinda like a lost puppy::

Well what did ya want me to do.just let it go on making that god awful noise.::she shrugs and sits down on the couch:: besides there has to be something else to do
