 You know what?  Let me count all of the ways that this is a really bad idea.  It's going to end badly, and when it does, I'll be the first to tell you 'I told you so'.  Funny type of game you like to play.

's nice to be out though.  Gettin' pretty stuffy in that head of yours if you ask me.  I know that variety is the spice of life and all that, but I think you're meant to actually do stuff rather than just hoard.  It's been what, six years?  Maybe more?  You could have picked me up when you were actually my age rather than, y'know.  Ancient.

Now, has anyone seen Morph?

[themhips]

They're pretty fond of games.

[solar_surfer]

[YEP THIS IS A TEENAGE BOY TRYING NOT TO STARE. Dem hips, right?]

Yeah, I'm starting to notice that. It's a real pain in the butt.

[themhips]

That's a nice way of putting it, sweetie.

[ Dem hips B) ]

It only gets really bad when they finally decide to put you somewhere, I guess. I'm Chel.

[ SHAKE HER HAND. ]

[squeak_squeaker]

...is your mun really ancient, little buddy? [YZMA, IS THAT YOU?]

[solar_surfer]

Yeah, well, I think he already has a place in mind and it's not lookin' good from where I'm standing.

[He'll shake her hand with a smile.] Jim Hawkins. So are you already in a place, then?

[solar_surfer]

Pretty ancient. 23. [He's in his twenties. That's ancient.]

[themhips]

What kind of place is it?

[ Nosey Chel is nosey. But she tucks her hair behind her ear with a grin. ] Was. Two, actually.

[squeak_squeaker]

That's younger than me. That's not ancient!

...right? [Kronk was still young and stuff, right? And. And. Was he old now?]

[solar_surfer]

I dunno, that's pretty old. You sure you've not got a wrinkle or two?

[solar_surfer]

Um. [Watch the adam's apple bobbing nervously.] Y'heard of Amat?

Oh yeah? What kind of places?

[themhips]

[ She's grinning. But she wants to hear him describe it, so.. ] No, I don't think so. What's it about?

And a bubble city and some school. Ages ago, really.

[squeak_squeaker]

Do you wanna check for me, pal? [Kronk bend over to be face to face and then he pulled at his cheeks a bit, looking all kinds of worried. Yzma was going to fire him if he had wrinkles! Which was kind of ironic, considering... y'know. The lady was pretty much a giant wrinkle.]

[solar_surfer]

Hey, hey! [Backing off now, ever heard of personal space?] You ever heard of mirrors, pal?

[solar_surfer]

[Nopenopenope how about no.]

It's a shame. That you're not there any more, I mean. You're probably lonely. Not that...! [Shutting up now!]

[themhips]

[ B-but.... ]

Only sometimes. Usually at night, when I'm all by-- not that, what?

[squeak_squeaker]

[Kronk flinched and covered his eyes with his big hands; he was always worried when someone got even a little bit angry! Even though he could snap most people like twigs.]

Yeah. Mirrors look just like me! All of 'em.

[solar_surfer]

Well, I mean, whatever else you make of these blasted games at least it's an adventure. [Still pretty flustered, though.]

[solar_surfer]

Yeah. Right. So look in there and stay away from me.

[themhips]

[ ... ]

You're cute. [ That's what she's getting out of this. ]

[squeak_squeaker]

Because I'm... wrinkly. [Kronk figured he was going to be friendless and alone now, just like Yzma! Why... why was this happening?!]

[solar_surfer]

No, because you got too close! [Jeez, what kind of simpleton is this man?]

[squeak_squeaker]

Ohh... but I'm not wrinkly, right? [Kronk was... not the brightest guy. And he was very, very worried now. Sniff!]

[solar_surfer]

[That's not going to help.]

Aha, you think so? [Rubbing the back of his head. Couldn't she have picked something more manly? Like awesome. Or strong. Cute doesn't do that much for his self esteem, you know.]

[solar_surfer]

I dunno. Probably not? Go take a look if you care that much.

[squeak_squeaker]

[Kronk ran off and looked into the mirror. Then, he ran back... juuust fast enough so you couldn't escape. Hah.]

NO WRINKLES! Isn't that great?
