PUBLIC CHANNEL

[dorkypantsuit]

The Psionic here with a very important announcement.

The sense of camaraderie in our department is at an all time low. So, to fix this, attendance at Rex the Rat's birthday party is now mandatory for all Labor Department members. Also I will be bringing twister and you absolutely will have to play.

Chiaki may have gotten out of planning, but Lars, don't think you won't have to make the food still. And I think we have someone new so if your name is Adrien and you're listening to this, please go ahead and publicly introduce yourself. Yes you will have to come to the party.

If anyone knows any party games that will force people to get up close and personal, I'm open to suggestions.

[Not really. "Multi-headed" means a lot more to her than "rat" does. WHO HAS TIME TO MEMORIZE ALL THESE ANIMAL NAMES.]

Oh. You mean the large furry thing with the strangely naked tail. Right. Got it.

[dorkypantsuit]

Does your tail have fur on it now? Or does naked mean something else?

[periphrasing]

I'M not covered with fur all over the rest of my body!

[DUH].

Also, my tail has a tuft at the end of it. So there.

[dorkypantsuit]

So it's only half naked?

[periphrasing]

What-- No, I mean-- Yes? TECHNICALLY!

[FRUSTRATED NOISE.]

'Naked' is all relative, okay!?

[dorkypantsuit]

Relative to what?

[Making Peridot mad is highly entertaining it turns out.]

[periphrasing]

[He wouldn't be the first to think that.]

You know! It's all furry and the only part of it that isn't is it's tail! Naked, compared to the rest of it! Relative!!

[dorkypantsuit]

I mean I think a lot of people would argue animals don't wear clothes and are therefore always naked.

[periphrasing]

[There's a thump from Peridot's end of the transmission that kind of sounds like maybe she just whapped her head on something in frustration.]

This is ridiculous, why are we even still talking about this!?

[dorkypantsuit]

I don't know. Is there something else you want to talk about?

[periphrasing]

[SHE GIVES UP.]

UuuuuUUUUGH NO. PLEASE ENJOY YOUR RAT PARTY!

[A sincere sentiment, but she's yelling it for some reason?

She stops answering the radio after that.]
