[april 19th, voice]

[S.O.S.]

[under the blaring sound of the alert siren, rosalia's voice comes through a bit frantically, followed by one much less familiar to the network.]

N-No! No emergency! Jack's new! I'm really sorry about this!

Oh. Whoops.

You think I know?

[initial embarrassment aside, he doesn't actually seem too bothered, grinning and poking at more buttons to see if anything happens.]

No, but--!

[Ugh, she's just flipping more pages. Where's the one about the SOS and disabling it.]

Relax, it's just an alarm. We just get it turned off, no harm done.

Are you sure? It alerts everyone over DEMISE and I think they send agents to check.

So we just tell them it was an accident, no big deal. Oh, wait, they'll be able to see me too, right?

[it'd be pretty unfair if they couldn't and just rosalia gets blamed, after all. he leans over the counter to wave a hand in the face of the woman who'd just given them the communicator, this one definitely an adult, only backing off with a nervous smile after the lady looks at him like he's crazy.]

Yeah. Everyone here should be able to see you.

[She's confused still. Why does he think no one will see him? She lowers the manual and just asks the lady if she knows how to stop the alarm.]

Ok, cool. That's...convenient.

[even with all the newfound belief, adults still shouldn't be able to see him. so it was something to do with this place, then? he certainly wasn't complaining.]

BREW brings a mixture of people. I mean, most of the Guests are human, but there are some exceptions.

Exceptions like what? [please say fairies, or a giant rabbit maybe.]

Ghosts, spirits, demons, magicians... I actually taught a giant robot first aid one day.

[spirits sounds promising. woah, wait.]

A giant robot? No way.

Uh huh! His name's Bumblebee. He's bright yellow and really nice.

A giant robot named "Bumblebee"? Well, I guess that's not the strangest thing I've ever heard...

What would be the strangest thing?

I dunno. I know a yeti named Phil.

A yeti? Are they really big and scary like in books?

Oh yeah, they're pretty big, and scary if you get on their bad side. Nice guys otherwise, though.

Huh... that's good to hear. How did you meet Phil?

I tried to break into Santa's workshop a bunch of times. Security's pretty tight up there.

[he says it with a grin and a shrug, leaning back against the counter, but he doesn't seem to be joking.]

Breaking in to Santa's--!?

[How is he grinning about that?] You shouldn't do that. He'll put you on his naughty list for sure!

It's a little late for that. Last time I asked, I've got the record as far as the naughty list goes. [though he never did get to ask whether that was the record for time spent on the naughty list or for being the most naughty. between 300 years of mischief or the singular incident that was easter sunday 1968, he really can't even guess at which it might be.]

The record? Wow... Can you get off after being there for so long?

Maybe? I might have just gotten off recently for some really good behavior, but it seems like a shame to let go of that record now...

[maybe a halloween blizzard was in order.]

Do you really want to be on the Naughty List again?

It's not like I've ever really not been on it anyway. I might as well set the bar as high as possible while I'm at it, in case anyone else decides to try beating my record.
