See, that yes? That yes was judgey.

[countdone]

And you knew it would be.

[airshow]

Maybe I'm a glutton for punishment.

[countdone]

That and you wanted me to entertain you, correct?

[airshow]

Yep! Plaaay with meeeeee.

[countdone]

Well we could always talk about politics and social issues.

[airshow]

You're doing this on purpose. You delight in my suffering.

[countdone]

Me? Never.

[airshow]

You always. Listen. I'm alone submerged in a ball pit. What are you doing?

[countdone]

Well I was working on something before you interrupted me.

[airshow]

Can I come over and interrupt you in person?

[countdone]

I should say "no," but I guess you can.

[airshow]

Oh, good! Because I was gonna do it anyway.

[countdone]

Of course you were.

[This is why you have no other friends, James.]

[airshow]

[ ANY PORT IN A STORM, LOSER ]

I just didn't know if you'd set up weird boobytraps or something.

[countdone]

Well, now I might. Just for you.

[airshow]

Flatterer.

[countdone]

Shut up and get your ass over here.

[airshow]

See ya soon.

[ And about ten minutes later, James comes strolling in like he owns the place. Doesn't even bother to knock. What a jackass. ]

Luuuucy, I'm hoooome!

[countdone]

[Well, unfortunately for him...when he barges in, there's no sign of Piper, at first.

There is, however, a swarm of rats appearing to greet him.]

[airshow]

[ And James lets out a very girlish yelp and backs up against the door. This is the worst welcoming committee! ]

Uh, Piper? Pipes? Pipey? Oh crap. Nice rats, please don't eat my toes, I need those...

[countdone]

[Alright, he's coming out of his hiding place. Not doing anything about the rats just yet, though. THEY'RE GIVING HIM A FRIENDLY GREETING ANYWAY, IT'S FINE.]

Do you have a problem with the welcoming committee?

[airshow]

I might have a small issue with herds of rats, yeah. Just a teeny one. Just, like, residual from that time about twenty thousand of them jumped me in my office, maybe?

[ It's like he's trying to become one with the door here. ]

[countdone]

Fine, fine. Alright, guys, leave him alone.

[And just like that they all start retreating.]

You're the one that brought up boobytraps.

[airshow]

I said boobytraps, not rat traps.

[ He steps forward. Well... tiptoes forward. Very gingerly. Like a big wuss. ]
