Echo: Hehem. Since both the author and Flint are suffering from Ivan- related injuries sustained in the last chapter, it has fallen to me to host this chapter.

Djinn Talk: Chapter 3

Ivan: Now that I got the Shaman's rod back, I have to go to Lunpa to beat up on Hammet for leaving me here. . . I mean, rescue him.

Flint: [eye twitches involuntarily] Bye now! (jerk)

Garet: Where do we go now again?

Isaac: yes no yes yes, no yes no.

Garet: Oh yeah. Bilibin, home of the not-quite-so-secret-underground- storage-place. (NQSSUSP)

Flint: No! Not an acronym! Anything but an acronym!

Garet: Calm down Flint. It's not that bad. Besides, what has an acronym ever done to you?

Flint: [whispers something]

Garet: [smiling evilly] Really? Heh heh heh.

Flint: [gulp] I just gave you an idea didn't I?

Garet: [still smiling] yes.

[later at the entrance to Goma cave]

Garet: Darn! We can't move this friggin' rock!

Ivan: Move aside, O helpless one.

Garet: You! What are you doing here?

Ivan: I finished in Lunpa. . . sort of, so I decided to come here.

Flint: weren't you supposed to say that you couldn't get in and that you had decided to help us because you knew how important our quest was?

Ivan: I was supposed to say that. Oh well.

Garet: [mutters something inaudible]

Ivan: Is there a problem, O pointy haired one?

Garet: Don't call me that.

Ivan: Why shouldn't I, Pointy haired one?'

Garet: I'll get you for that!

[Garet lunges at Ivan, who jumps down to the ledge directly below him. Garet falls and smacks his face on a rock]

Garet: [censored]

Ivan: Time to add injury to insult! Spark Plasma!

[Garet is fried to a crisp]

Flint: You can't cast that yet.

Ivan: Oh well. Got a problem with it, Hedgehog?

Flint: Isn't this the part where you use whirlwind on the stump and join the party?

Ivan: Oh yeah.

[He casts whirlwind on the stump, Isaac casts move and the party enters Goma cave.]

Garet: You only beat me because you're the author's favorite character.

Echo: Need I remind you that the author is in the hospital and I am running this chapter?

Ivan: Hey! Where did you come from?

Echo: Since the author is unavailable and God is on vacation, the omnipotent powers got delegated to me. Goodbye.

----------

Thanks Echo. Nice job on the chapter.

Echo: Thanks.

That's all. You can go now.

Echo: Toodleoo

Flint: How did you get back so quickly?

I had to make sure you didn't try anything stupid.

Flint: What could I do? The game is over.

You're still doing the commentary, and there is no way I'm letting you loose in the dangerous world of pre/post chapter craziness without supervision.

Flint: Dang.

Oh, by the way, unless I get some reviews saying otherwise, Djinni do have gender. Any suggestions as to which Djinn are which gender will be much appreciated. Now stop reading this post story crap and review.
