<Pipira> Does he want to
make the basement bigger?
<Casey> There's no way
Aden
would approve of that
<Pipira> Agoraphobic a
bit, is he?
<Casey> Social leper

* Jonas takes something out of
his pocket, stands behind Pipira, then dangles it in front of her face. He's dangling a necklace with a gold ring on it.
* Pipira blinks at looks up at
the necklace.
* Jonas pulls it back and puts
it in his pocket
<Jonas> Easily distracted
by shiny objects.
<Casey> She's not a cat
---
<`Joey> Oh, right. The little spontaneous combustion thing.
<Casey> Well, we're working
so that it's controllable, not spontaneous
* Casey glances at Pipira before
looking to Joey again
<Casey> I don't blow everything
up
<`Joey> That's not what
your file said
---
<Pipira> Never knew eatin'
was so complicated...
<Aeq> why are you instructing
him anywya?
* Pipira giggles.
<Casey> I believe for our
own amusement, at his expense
---
<Jake> Pip! How are you
feeling?
<Pipira> Like a chandelier!
<Jake> Lighted, or unlighted?
<Pipira> Oh, lighted most
definitely.
---
<Jonas> Do you know our
names?
<Adriana> Jonas?
* Jonas smiles
<Jonas> Yes.
<Jonas> And him?
* Jonas points to Shawn
* Adriana glances over
<Adriana> Shawn.
* Jonas points to Casey
<Jonas> Her.
<Adriana> Is this some
game you Shaldanis play? I have to say, not impressed.
<Jonas> She's back!
---
Casey> Of course not. I mean, when you're young and you want to run away from home. You pack up your chemistry kit and seek out your favorite uncle.
* Casey glances around
<Casey> Or maybe that was
just me
<Jonas> My uncle used to
come and visit my house every spring, and he'd always bring my siblings and I a gift.
<Pfalz> My uncle was a
heretic and had to be sent to an empty dimension to live with the evils of the universe.
* Jonas blinks
<Jonas> Wow.
* Pfalz laughs.
<Pfalz> Just kidding you.
---
<Jonas> (Oh, have you done
the episode write-up yet?)
<Pfalz> (Umm... ^^;;)
<Pfalz> (….)
<Pfalz> (*whispers* that’s
code for no, please dun create hood ornaments from my severed limbs)

* Pipira is sitting at the table,
fast asleep.
* Rashia looks at Pipira curiously,
shaking her lightly
* Pipira mumbles in her sleep,
"Strained peaches? I'll be damned..."
---
<Jake> That'd be cool!
* Adriana watches Jake
<Adriana> Will you be my
date?
<Pipira> Is that even legal?
---
* Pipira is dancing on the table.
<Eris> Hey, that looks
like fun!
<Eris> But...why are you
dancing on the table?
<Pipira> It’s a rain
dance!
<Eris> A rain dance?
* Eris giggles
<Eris> It can't rain inside,
silly!
<Pipira> … Oh
---
<Pipira> I bet you a nickel
you don't know the first thing about bush-beating.
<Jake> A nickel?! Sure!
<Pipira> Alright then!
So tell me, what's the first thing about bush-beating?
<Jake> You find a bush.
<Pipira> Wrong! You owe me a nickel!
<Jake> hey! How am I wrong?
<Pipira> Because I said
you are! Now where's my nickel?
---
<Pipira> So! Rashia! Are you hiring?
<Rashia> Hiring?
<Pipira> Yup.
<Rashia> Oh, i'm not the
one responsible in this house
<Jake> Yeah, she's not
responsible for anything.
