Jane: Answer Jake.
golgothasTerror [GT] began bothering gutsyGumshoe [GG] at 11:05 Jane! Forgive my botherations. I know this is meant to be a spanking ripsnorter of a day for you and all. But do you happen to know where the devilfucking dickens mr strider might be? Oh, that's fine! I had been meaning to message you sooner actually, but I suppose in all the hubbub today, it plumb slipped my mind. Which is a shocking fact on its lonesome, considering what I have to tell you! Egad... *Loosens collar a bit.* As for this Strider business, hrmmm. He's an elusive guy Jake. You know that. I talked to him yesterday. That's as much help as I can be! Shoot. I really need to ask him something but hes got his blasted auto responder turned on. Hoo hoo. I love that thing. :B He wouldnt be pleased to hear you say that. What do you need with him? Does this have to do with your crazy pen pal project? It most certainly does and time is of the essence! Today is the day i have to finish it and send it. Not a day later! So you see why i am feeling really friggin discombobulated at the moment. Sorry, J. :( This would be the birthday present... for your grandmother? No! It is for your grandfather simply to be *relayed* to him by my grandmother. A joint gift to him from she and i. Her and me. What? Who and you now? "A joint gift from her and me." Grammar, Jake! Oh for frigs flipping sake jane this is no time for your prudish pedantry! Leave your bookish malarkey in a dusty old library somewhere. I have an adventure to get on with! So if I have this straight, the big thing hogging up your plate today is not this marvelous new game which I have invited you to play with me, but finishing a robotic rabbit to give to my dead poppop? Bingo. *double pistols and a wink* You are a very strange and silly boy. Please jane we have addressed this. I am sending the gift back in time to when they are both alive and about our age. Or... Something like that. Something funny is going on here that i have not fully grappled yet but dag nab it if im not gonna see it through. Well, Godspeed, then! I do hope you can pull it off. Are you being fresh with me now? No!! Look jane i know youve never believed me and you think everything i say is some big cockamamie goofoff but i think today of all days is when you should start taking some things more seriously. Especially since i have always had your back. I have always believed in you! Hey! I have believed in you too. However, believing somebody isn't the same thing as believing IN somebody. But that much said... I think that maybe I am getting ready to believe some of the wild stories I've heard? Or, if not believe outright, reserve judgment on, at least. Is that so! I don't know! I'm still not sure what to think. But what I wanted to tell you this morning was... I had a really wild dream last night. And you were in it. Oh my. *glasses fog up. fumbles for kerchief.* Sh! Not like that. It was so real! I think we were in the game, even though we haven't started playing yet. I don't know what to make of it. Whether it was a vision of the future, or somewhere that exists now, or if it was just a really lucid dream due to excitement. What was i doing there? Um... Not a heck of a lot! I really want to tell you all about it, but it will take some time to explain, and we both have things to attend to. You with your time traveling rabbitwork, and I, my vigilant window gazing! Too true. Let us reconvene later and sort out all this shit at a leisurely pace. Yes, ok, good luck Jake! Okay you too jane! Bye!
