The Asylum

Big Bear !!!!

Freda takes a flying leap and lands on Ursa's shoulder.

Hello everybody

*walks in carrying a blanket-wrapped container under his arm, from which strange, scuttly, sounds are heard*

Having reviewed the surveillance tapes I must object to this notion that I’m some sort of voyeur! I mean, that is, any more so than the average Chronite…and, of course, beside the fact that it’s part of my, er…work. But that’s strictly professional.

*sets the shrouded container on the floor, with heightened and aggressive scuttling sounds issuing from within*

Quiet down you! Silly little blighter…Anyway, this is why I was preoccupied last night. Proof of my non-voyeurism. Keep it as a souvenir, kill it, it’s none of my beef anymore. I wash my hands of it.

*walks away from the object and sets about looking for the nearest mini-bar*

* Offers Freda some pringles. *

Don't worry, they're not walrus flavour.

[The Ace]

Tangle sniffs the container and beats a hasty retreat.

"Hang on, No-one. We all respect each other's privacy around here unless someone was well out of order.

Who's been making accusations and, OK, what's in the box ?"

[No One]

Ah, that's okay Ace. Just some errant conversation methinks . Oh fine, fine...

*removes the cover to reveal a glass container. Within it is a bony, spidery, crabby, flesh-coloured creature. A label on the container reads: WARNING: BEWARE OF FACE-HUGS!*

Now, where are the drinks around here...?

[HoopyFrood]

GAH!!!

Not...not one of those!!!!

[The Ace]

Try the cupboard above the sink or the 'fridge. Hmm, a face-hugger, haven't seen one of those in a while. Kudos for catching it.

[No One]

agh, I doubt he could cause anyone here any problems.

Might wanna be sure he doesn't get out into the general chrons population though...

Much obliged Ace...catching it was nothing. Why, the sheer idea of a facehugger attacking a Faceless Man. Madness!

[Ursa major]

For myself, I prefer invoking facepalms.

*proccurs himself a beverage and takes a seat*

[HoopyFrood]

*Punches No one on them arm* You big fiend, what you go and get one of them for. After all that we said about them. It's a wonder you even wanted to get close. You know what they like doing...

[The Ace]

Freda eyes the Facehugger.

What we call it ?

[No One]

*rubs his arm*

ow, and believe me the first label had expletives!

I don't think it's staying, Freda.
