A Challenger Has Arrived! (Whither the Nightcrew?)

[Master Gopher]

I just ate lunch.  

[Mr_Pleasington]

That's one late lunch.  What delayed it so?

[Master Gopher]

Time zones. Im my half of th universe, I ate at 2:30. Which is still late....but not *that* late.

[Mr_Pleasington]

I have no idea where you're at.

Wait...let me do my math....

Are you in Austalia?

I was there once for a long while.  It was awesome.  I met JP.

[Master Gopher]

You met JP? I wasn't aware any of the Oz crew had actually met anyone from overseas, That's awesome.
Yes, I'm in Australia, and it's been raining for about 12 hours. It's wonderful. A friend and I are complaining about people who think rain is an inconvenience.

[Mr_Pleasington]

Yeah, I was in Brisbane for one of my rotation for 8 weeks last year (August thru Octorber).

It was amazing.

I will be coming back.

[Master Gopher]

Well, depending when, you'll probably miss me - I may end up in Brisbane after school, or may not, but as it is it's unlikely I'll be there for at least year. We should drag you down to Coffs, then you'd get to meet the whole contingent.

[JP Dogberry]

Yes, we really should. Most of the crew is in Coffs.

Plus, you owe me a tour of your place when/if I'm ever over there.

Just be careful of the ninjas this time. Sightings in the city have increased since you were here....

[Spriggan]

I'm sure you have photographic evidence of those ninjas or at least will soon.

This was a pretty boring Wednesday, instead of watching the old Batman movie EUOL's roommate had a lame shindig that watched Finding Nemo instead, it wasn't worth the gas money driving there.

[Chimera]

Sorry about that. We will have to watch the Batman movie sometime. At least there was good cake!

You could've come downstairs and read Lemony Snicket with EUOL and I--we did that instead of watching the movie. But then you would have had to witness cuddling, and I don't know how you feel about that.  

[Master Gopher]

Well I must say I find cuddling absolutely disgusting, my dear fellow...

[Chimera]

Then you are not allowed to watch a movie with EUOL and I.  

[Mr_Pleasington]

Ninjas weren't the problem when I was in Bribane.

Drop bears, however, were everywhere according to JP.

[Master Gopher]

Drop Bears still are everywhere.

Cuddling is one of the best things in the universe.

"Never Cuddle A Drop Bear" (Motto taught to AustrAliens in Primary School)

[Mr_Pleasington]

I vividly remember being attacked by a drop bear.

I had no idea it was going on, but JP assured me that I was both under attack and that he had saved me.
