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.

I don't know if three words is really enough for that.

[dorkypantsuit]

So you're not even going to try?

[chattypuns]

[Well, he has a point. He could try to come up with something at least. Other than the whole secret identity thing though there isn't much interesting to say about himself, especially that can be summed up in three words.]

Um... French teenage boy. [It's accurate, at least. Even if it isn't particularly descriptive.]

[dorkypantsuit]

Oh, what's a French?

[chattypuns]

It's someone who's from France.

It's a country, in Europe. [Because if he's asking what French is, he probably doesn't know that either, right?]

[dorkypantsuit]

Oh, that's the peninsula isn't it?

[chattypuns]

...The peninsula? [What is he even talking about??]

[dorkypantsuit]

It's by... England?

[He's nearly positive that's right.]

I was told it was called Europe, so if that's not true than you can blame one of those guys.

[chattypuns]

Well England and France are part of Europe, but Europe is a continent, not a peninsula.

[dorkypantsuit]

Oh, better not tell the John's that.

[chattypuns]

[He doesn't even know who "the Johns" are so that won't be too hard.]

I won't.

[dorkypantsuit]

So tell me about France and Europe.

[chattypuns]

What do you want to know about them?

[dorkypantsuit]

Is giving vague answers a tradition there?

[chattypuns]

[Okay, he laughs a little at that.]

Sorry, I'm not trying to... I just wasn't expecting so many questions.

[dorkypantsuit]

This is why we need to have a party, so everyone can get to know each other without feeling like their playing 'a fair assortment of strategically asked questions.'

[chattypuns]

I think a party sounds like fun.

[dorkypantsuit]

Bonus points, you've just earned some newbie.

[chattypuns]

Just for liking parties?

[dorkypantsuit]

Yes, just for that.

That should give you some idea of the kind of people I have to deal with around here.

[chattypuns]

I was wondering why a party would have to be mandatory.

[dorkypantsuit]

Yeah, you'd think people would want to have fun.

[chattypuns]

Maybe they just aren't sure about a party for a rat?

[dorkypantsuit]

It's not just a rat it's a King Rat.

[chattypuns]

What's so royal about a rat?
