"Hey, who ARE all these people who just stand around and don't talk?"
inquired Kevin suddenly, looking around confusedly.
"I dunno. Let's do roll call," Cisca suggested.
"And let's kick out all the people who don't talk," added Bekki.
"Alright," everyone agreed.
"Meara- talks. Bekki- talks. Cisca- talks. Kevin- doesn't really talk, but Cisca will be mad if we kick him out," Meara began.
"Nikki- i don't know. Melissa- doesn't talk except randomnly...can appear randomnly and then go away again. Ron- doesn't talk. Jack- doesn't really talk except to bekki, can't kick him out. Will and Lauren (inseperable)- don't do anything. Lauren can just watch Will fence interminably. they go out. Scott- doesn't do anything he's out too. Leo- is a useful scapegoat when things go wrong," Cisca continued.
"HEY!!!" Leo protested.
"Let's kick him out too!" Bekki decreed.
"Alright, so we're down to me, Bekki, Cisca, Kevin, and Jack," finished Meara. "And Trist, of course."
"How about me?" inquired Nikki.
"Nikki can be like Melissa- appearing randomnly but no really doing anything," Jack interjected.
"Hey, has anyone else noticed that someone is narrating the story again?" inquired Kevin suddenly.
"HEY NARRATOR!!!??? DIDJA COME BACK!!??" shouted Bekki.
"YES!!! JUST DON'T SEND ME AWAY AGAIN CAUSE THEN I WON'T COME BACK FOR REAL!!!" the narrator shouted back.
"That answer your question?" Meara asked Kevin.
"Yes, thank you," replied Kevin.
"Hey, people, what were we doing before we had that whole argument with the narrator?" inquired Cisca randomnly.
"I don't know...HEY NARRATOR!!! WHAT WERE WE DOING BEFORE YOU LEFT???" Bekki screamed at the narrator (literally).
"You were figuring out how to work Someplace," the Narrator boomed back irritably.
"Oh yeah! And I was telling everyone what to do!" Bekki remembered ecstatically.
"Oh great, she remembered," Cisca groaned. Kevin hugged her and then everything was happy. (i'm in a sappy mood. these things happen when the narrator is in a sappy mood.)
"Moving on...." Meara said, rolling her eyes.
"So, we need to do SOMETHING, you know, go SOMEWHERE!!!" Kevin suddenly burst out (detatching himself from Cisca).
"We ARE Somewhere," Cisca pointed out.
"Whatever."
WILL YOU PEOPLE DO SOMETHING INTERESTING?? I'M BORED TO TEARS HERE!!!!
"Shut-" Meara began.
"MEARA!!!" Everyone screamed
"Oh yeah, we want to keep our narrator," Meara remembered. Everyone sighed in relief.
"Alright people, let's go to the Fountain of Interest!" Trist suggested.
"Huh?" asked Cisca
"The Fountain of Interest! It's one of the tourist attractions here in Somewhere," Trist explained.
"There are tourist attractions in Somewhere?" Jack (coming out of a long stupor) inquired, shocked.
"There are TOURISTS in Somewhere," Meara inquired, shocked.
"Yep! C'mon," Trist replied.
"Wait, what's so special about this Fountain of Interest?" asked Cisca semi suspicious of the whole thing.
But it was too late, at the same time Bekki said, "And everyone was instantly transported to the Fountain of Interest!" and you know what happened next...
"I dunno. Let's do roll call," Cisca suggested.
"And let's kick out all the people who don't talk," added Bekki.
"Alright," everyone agreed.
"Meara- talks. Bekki- talks. Cisca- talks. Kevin- doesn't really talk, but Cisca will be mad if we kick him out," Meara began.
