Joy-why? Now I get Fabian all to myself
Patricia-joy! How could you? The second someone disappears you move in on their boyfriend?! That's sick
Joy-she did it to me!
Patricia-stop it joy! That's just plain mean. You should stop or I might just have you kicked out of sibuna
Joy-(Whining)noooo! I love doing this!
Patricia-then stop trying to move in on fabian! He's nina boyfriend
Joy-ok

Alfie-(sitting in the lounge chair)stop asking that!
Eddie-(sitting at the desk)no nothing I'm getting worried
Fabian-I've been worried since I found out Rufus took nina
Eddie-and it's even more scary now that we don't know where she is and who she's with
Alfie-it's gotta be someone rich
Eddie-how do you know that?
Alfie-how else would someone be able to drain her power
Eddie-true
Fabian-he makes a point
(Telepathically)
