"Where were you guys?" Toaster asked.
"Well," Lampy said. "Robbie stopped off at the repair shop."
Plugsy hid behind a fake plant. "Don't mention that."
"Forgive him," Ongaku-san said. "Last time he was in the repair shop, that ceiling lamp scared him half to death."
"Oh, that's Igor," Lampy said.

"He went to get his switch tightened," Mel said.
Ongaku-san groaned. "Let me comfort him." He hopped off.
The computer, a tiny Samsung laptop, flashed on. "Hello, is anyone there? What's going on?" Her voice was high and squeaky.
"Well, Sammy," Ongaku-san said. "Our table lamp is afraid of going to the repairman."

"No, Sammy," Plugsy replied. "You had to be taken in because you caught a bug."
Sammy coughed twice. "Don't blame me. Robbie clicked on something he shouldn't."
