Err! I thought I would never get in with that.... new "font" size! Luckily some human took notice of it and changed it back. Anyhow, remember how I said I hate being in this world? Well, not all of it was hateful...about 90% of it was. Anyhow, this day really is short, but its when I met my first banished....umm...lets just say he's guy I will know......Believe me, I had a hard time trying to communicate with this guy's.....language.

Dango Flailer

I had no idea where I was or what had happened. With out notice, I was blacked out......Of course at the time it was getting really annoying. I wish my mind wasn't still in contact with my limbs. I could still feel that burning pain in my tail, and the pounding pain in my arms and feet. Getting myself up and grabbing that girl gave out allot of pain, but I just didn't show it. Well....at least my back was....somewhat fine.....I was still out, but I could hear voices....

Voice1: Crikey...

Voice1: That thing don't look like no crocodile.....

Voice2: Looks like one Steve....

"Steve": Hey mate....I've been going around the world looking for critters like these...

Voice2: Sure....

"Steve": Were did you get this croc?

Voice2: Ah, some guy in China was selling it....

Voice2: Saw it on my trip, and figured well.....

"Steve": Well.....I would show him on the show but...

Voice: You already have been assigned to find some Frilled Lizards.....

"Steve": Yeah....

Voice: Why don't we let that guy that has that weird Goanna thing?

"Steve": Good idea mate, lets place him back up in the boot of the jeep...

"Steve": Watch his mouth though, those teeth can take off you hand!

Voice: Yeah like that one snake that bit you...

"Steve": A Charlie, just be careful...

About a couple of seconds later, I could feel my body move side to side, I must be in that jeep....I couldn't do much at all...

Randall:....( Goanna thing?....)

I felt actually....a little confused.....It seems like every time a human puts the word "Thing" after some animal name, it usually means.....wait....No...it can't....or could it.....Soon, I felt a small twitch in my tail, then I could finally open my eyes....but only for a second or two. But I did manage to catch a glimpse. I was in a jeep, I could see the land outside looked almost like a desert. Dirt roads, cactuses, and canyons were out on the land. But this place wasn't a desert. But after that glimpse, I fell back down.

Randall:........(Where am I?!)

Soon, I was going to meet one of the...less-expected-to-see type creature.........

*

For hours I seemed asleep........but then, a sound was able to awake me....

Voice: Psst!

Randall:.........

Voice: Psst! Hey!

Randall:.........

Voice: Oh come on!

Randall:.......ehh.....

Voice: Oh good....at least your alive....

Randall: Oh....

I slowly moved my head, but then sat it back onto the...well, ground I suppose. But then I slowly opened my eyes.....

Randall: Huh?

I observed the room. But...I noticed that I was in a metal cage....

Randall: (Ehh...reminds me of that lab....oh not again....)

I could also see I was in some kind of small house....like a shed or something...nothing much of any importance.

Voice: Yeah....I don't like it too mate....

Randall: Huh?

I turned my head slowly to my right.

Randall:!!!!!

My fronds poked up as my face went into....a surprised look. It was a monster.....

Monster: Hmph....What... you never seen a banished monster before?

The monster did look like what the humans call a "Goanna". It had a flattened body, long neck, yellow eyes, a tail like mine (Except that it was straight),stout limbs, long digits, and sharp claws. It had small spikes down its back, and black spots over his tan body. He looked about the same height as me, judging from his length in his own cage. He seemed a little younger than me.....

Randall: Who are you?

Monster: Just like you.....

He laid his back against the cages wall, his tail moving over to his left side.

Monster: Captured by a human.....

I tried to get up, but I couldn't. So I just laid there. I figured that maybe I should take this time to talk with this....fellow monster in "Banishment".

Randall: That doesn't answer my question.....

Monster:....Might as well tell you, what good will it be not to.....

Dango: Dango Flailer.....yours?

Randall:...

What was the harm....?

Randall: Randall Boggs.....

Dango: You've been shellacking or just thrown here like me?

Randall: What!?

Dango: You don't speak Australian do you mate?

Randall:......

I knew absolutely nothing about Australian monsters, or there language....

Dango: Fess up....you don't...

Randall: Ok fine I don't!

Dango: Hey! Don't try to get aggro with me!

Randall: Oh sure!

Dango: Come on I don't want this to have a barney with ya....

Randall: A what?

Dango: (Sigh)....Why don't we just start over....

Randall:....

I decided to go along.

Randall: Fine....

Dango:......So.....umm...he caught ya a mate?

Randall: What? Who?

Dango: I don't know....

Dango: But who ever he is, he can catch lizards like a spider to a mozzie....

Randall:......Ok....

Dango:....He left though when he brought you in....

Randall: So....in the point.... I was caught?

Dango: One way or another....yeah...

Randall: What about you?

Dango:.....He tricked me....

Dango: He was trying to catch me about....2 day's ago....

Dango: Then I thought he had given up when he caught me with some kind of hook....

Randall:.....

Dango: So....how did you get here?

Randall:....

I looked at him, anger from the previous encounters. But, I could at least tell him.....well...

Randall:....Tricked by a co-worker of mine....

Dango:????

Randall: I wasn't suppose to be banished!

Dango:.....

I was interested.....

Randall: How....about you?

Dango:....Alright I'll cop out mate...

Dango: No....I wasn't a crim or anything like that....

Dango:......I was banished by law....

Dango: It happened about....well...nearly 5-6 day's ago...

Dango: I was such a bozo....!

Randall:....

Dango: I use to worked for a Human Animal Research Department.....

Dango: You know what that is?

I did know of this "field" of work.....

Randall: Yeah....

I laid my head on the metal ground of the cage, keeping my eyes on the monster.

Randall: You come here, grab a species, then you examine it....

Dango: Yeah....for many reasons....

Dango: Information.....future use...and....livable locations...

Randall:???

Dango:...For where banish monsters are sent....

Dango: To suit there needs.....

Of course...I never even got that....Hey! I never even got a court or fair judgment!

Dango: Anyhow...I was a little toey that day..

Dango: I had discovered that my girlfriend was to be my partner on a assignment....

Randall:????

Dango:....She likes what I do....

Randall:....Ok....

Dango: Anyhow...

Dango: She was more of the tall poppy than me in the job....

Dango: We went in a door marked in Paris, and were searching for what they called peacocks....

Dango: Soon, we got spotted by a truckie human.....

Dango: We reached the door where we came in, but they caught my girlfriend....

Dango: I figured if I would have gone to help get her out.....I could have been caught....

Dango: So I went back into Monstropolis....

Dango: But then I got into big strife....

Dango: C.D.A protected the building because of the dangers of the job....

Dango: They thought I placed her in there as a set up.....

Dango: The took me in before I could tell them what happen....

Dango: I had many people who knock me....not just joshin'...

Dango: The next day....I was sent here....

Dango: Err....If I every see those guy's again I'll give them a piece of my mind!

Randall:....

I actually listened to every word. It was my first experience with talking to a banished monster....

Randall: Hmph....not as bad as me though....

Dango: Maybe....maybe not....

Dango: All I know is that I lost my girlfriend....and got caught by some human that has his own T.V show

Randall:!!!! What?!

If this human had a T.V. show... he was most likely going to....

Dango: He's going to expose me after his business in the outback...you too...now..

Randall:!!!!

Oh no! I was not about to make my situation more worse than it was!

Randall: Have you ever tried to get out?!

Dango: Would be allot of yakka....

I gave that grin I always do when I have a brilliant plan(Don't I always?).

Randall: I think we can get out of here....

Dango: Oh yeah....you look zonked from what ever happened to you....

Randall: Does that....human have to let us out during that...."show of his"?

Dango: Well y.....oh....would be a fair go though.....

Randall:????.....Listen Mr. Australian....

Dango:!!!!

Randall: I know how plans can be set....

Dango gave me a smirk look, I knew he was going to hit me with a comeback...

Dango: (Chuckle) Yeah....we should wait...

Dango: We'll just get some zeds....

Dango closed his eyes, as did I.

Dango: (Whisper) Yobbo....

Randall: I heard that!

Dango:!!!!????

Good ear huh? Anyhow, this.....Australian monster has....some vocabulary some humans probably don't get. In order for you all to know exactly what he was saying, Sean gave me a good list on all of these words:

Mate: Just a word in place of someone's name

Shellacking: Criticism for a thorough and shameful defeat

Fess up: Confess

Aggro: Aggressive

Mozzie: Mosquito

Cop out: Give up or in

Crim: Criminal

Bozo: Idiot

Toey: Nervous

Tall poppy: Successful person in a particular field

Truckie: Truck driver

Strife: Trouble

Just joshin': Just kidding

Yakka: Hard work

Zonked: Exhausted

Fair go: Reasonable chance

Zeds: Sleep

Yobbo: Loudmouth

Well there's Mr. Australian's speech for you. Oh, and that Steve guy......I think Sean told me he knew he was the.....ehh....I cannot say it....would insult my reptilian brethren in this world. Hmph....now that I remember Flailer....Some good things happened to me in banishment....but then again, some really horrible things have happened....
