So this is, like, a total trip! You are one groovy girl, though I'm not really sure what it is you plan for me to be doing. I'll be perfectly content to kick back and grill a few veggie burgers, but there's no way I'm doing the whole mystery investigation thing. Especially without the gang.

So, um, I guess that's a thanks but no thanks. No hard feelings right?

Yes hard feelings?

Oh.

Well, if you're going to make that face... I guess I could try and kick up a mystery. Maybe just a little one. A baby mystery, something along the lines of 'The case of the missing condiments', actually, that sounds like a very worthy investigation.

A group of friends solving mysteries together? My, that sounds like quite a life!

[ironchefstomach]

The very best kind of life! Well, aside from the spooky things. Or the creepy, haunted, or other wise heart-stopping terrifying things. Other than those, it's great.

[morewidows]

[She raises an eyebrow, and it seems like the light only falls across her eyes, now doesn't it?]

You aren't fond of the spooky? But they can be the most mysterious of things!

[ironchefstomach]

Mystery and scary tend to go hand in hand alright. It's just never been my bag, you know? I can't tell you the number of times that I've been chased and frightened by monsters, ghouls and ghosts.

[morewidows]

Ghouls and ghosts? That sounds terrible, truly tragic.

[There's nothing but amusement about her tone and features, though.]

[ironchefstomach]

It always seems to turn out all right in the end though. So I guess I can't complain too much. At least the condiment case should be much less terrifying. It's not like ghosts have much use for ketchup, like, am I right?

[morewidows]

That is a good point. Not many ghosts would be capable of eating French fries or hot dogs, so what would they need ketchup for in the first place?

[ironchefstomach]

Elementary question! One that I shall endeavor to... figure out. So, like, have you seen any suspicious food-related activities going on?

[morewidows]

Mmm, not that I can think of, no. The children had their breakfast and their lunch, and everything was in proper order that I saw.

[She's tempted to give him a mystery, just for the sake of his being sweet.]

[ironchefstomach]

That's great news! [The less mysterious this fictional case gets, the better. In Shaggy's opinion.]
