What am I supposed to do with all this snow - is that what folk have been calling it? The cold is treacherous and my son is sick from being out in it so long. [pause] I hope everyone's taking care of themselves. When you stop shivering it doesn't mean you're suddenly not cold anymore!

I didn't mean to hit him. He got in the way!

[Voice]

[gold-dust-pixie.livejournal.com]

Well, he was okay, right? Did you work out the kinks?

[Voice]

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

No, I had to get rid of the thing before I hurt anyone else.

[Voice]

[gold-dust-pixie.livejournal.com]

Oh...well, if you want, maybe we can try to make another one. It was a good idea, after all.

[Voice]

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

I probably shouldn't. Like Uncle Max said, I'm gonna wind up killin' someone with that thing.

Thanks, though.

Well that's only because you haven't worked out the bugs! It sounds like a pretty useful thing when you get right down to it... Do you still like to invent stuff?

[Voice] [Locked]

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

Well... As long as you don't tell Ma about it...

Yeah! I got all kinds of stuff back home. I made these 'shades' once to stop the sun from shinin' in our faces every morning.

[it takes her awhile to figure out this lock thing, but she finally gets it]

I bet everyone was grateful for that...have you made anything since you've been here?

[Voice] [Locked]

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

Yeah, for once...

Hm? Oh, ah, kinda. I mean, they got all kinds of stuff neat stuff here. Stuff I'd never even thought of. And that I did, they've perfected. Don't tell anyone I said that either but these humans ain't all as dumb as they act.

[skeptical] Hmm...I guess they do alright. For humans.

You think your species is better?

Of course! Nothing beats a fairy's ingenuity!

I thought you said you were a picknee.

What? What's so... Is that not it?

[Voice] [Locked]

[gold-dust-pixie.livejournal.com]

[still laughing] No! That's like me calling you a...a bleerbat! I'm a pixie which is just another word for fairy.

[Voice] [Locked]

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

... I am not a bat.

[Voice] [Locked]

[gold-dust-pixie.livejournal.com]

No, you're a lot cuter than a bat. But that's the point! It's a silly thing to call me a picknee. Like I pick knees or something!

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

[IGNORING THAT CUTE COMMENT] Uh... Yeah, I guess you're right. It sounds more like some kinda monkey.

[Voice] [Locked]

[gold-dust-pixie.livejournal.com]

[GOD THAT'S NOT HOW SHE MEANT IT, GET OVER YOURSELF] And aren't humans pretty much monkeys?

[Voice] [Locked]

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

I think so. I wouldn't be surprise if I saw 'em pickin' bugs of each other, that's for sure.

The kids are better than the grown ups, though. They know how to have fun still!

[Voice] [Locked]

[cowardly-hero.livejournal.com]

You've been hangin' around the wrong crowd. I know plenty of adults who know how to have fun.

[Voice] [Locked]

[gold-dust-pixie.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah? Like who?

Like me! Or that Doctor guy - the one with the incredibly good sense of fashion, not the impostor.
