Assembling a Team


Ava, Sabrina the main five, and their housemates had a meeting. One other appliance joined them. A steel desk lamp sat on a bookshelf.

"You have a nice house here, uh..." She glanced around the room. "You guys."

Lampy eyed the lamp suspiciously. "Rayna, I don't think he likes you." Sabrina whispered.

"Maybe bad experience with one of my model?" Rayna asked. She shrugged. "Anyway, if we're to take out Debbie, we need to join forces."

"Seeing me die really shook her," Sabrina said.

"My name is Rayna. I'm only here because the shop I work in is closed for renovations. Massive renovations."

Lampy spoke up. "So, what do we know about Debbie?"

"Well, she's green, she's homicidal, and she's accompanied by a Kirby vacuum and a lamp with tape on her shade." Rayna said. "And she targets whoever she feels like targeting."

"All right, men..." a pause. "And women! We've got ourselves a killer to catch. Everyone, do your part!"

"But we don't have a plan," Toaster said.

"A plan? I'll have you know I was chief investigator for Scotland Yard. I've caught more than my fair share of killers, crooks and assorted scum."

Ava tapped Lampy. "Does he always do this?"

"Yes." Lampy replied.
