Carr.:
I’ve sent for Hucka Doobie. He should be arriving… oh here he is.
(Hucka Doobie enters the building and sits down in a 3rd chair just rezzed.)
Carr.:
I’ve put the others to sleep, Hucka Doobie, so I can talk some personal things with you. How are you doing, by the way?
Hucka Doobie:
I’m fine Carrcassonnee. What’s all this about? I’ve never seen a crowd this large in Collagesity before (!).
Carr.:
No, and perhaps not again. At least until the next town meeting. Did you attend?
Hucka D.:
I couldn’t make it. Pollinating party over at Patty Peppermint’s.
Carr.:
I’ve heard that excuse [from you] before, Hucka Doobie.
Hucka D. (turning slightly red):
Sorry. So…
Carr.:
First off, Bottles, Hucka Doobie.
Hucka D.:
The woman that’s trying to kill me?
Carr. (not biting):
No. Actual bottles. *You* pulled them out of the ground.
Hucka D.:
I didn’t!
Carr.:
Shhh. You’ll wake up the other two. I guess you’ve heard the grumblings. Rumblings, I mean.
Hucka D.:
Yes. In my sleep. And then when I awake.
(Spongeberg wakes up.)
Spongeberg:
Oh, hello Hucka. Didn’t hear you buzz in. Oh, the sleep thing. Good one Carrcassonnee. What did I miss?
Carr.:
Oh, we were just talking about Hucka Doobie’s new honey, weren’t we Hucka?
Hucka D.:
Sure.
Spongeberg:
Whatever happened to that Hurla Don’tbee? Heard she was a good ride.
Hucka D.:
Shut your trap.
Carr.:
… and the weather. We were talking about the weather weren’t we Hucka Doobie? The weather. The rumblings and the grumblings but mostly the grumblings. Rumblings I mean. Earlier, Hucka Doobie, Spongeberg and Baker Bloch and I were talking about the weather as well. We were speculating that real weather might even come to Collagesity now. Oh, and Spongeberg isn’t going to destroy the town. Isn’t that great news?
Hucka D.:
Absolutely.
Carr.:
Well good, you’re all 3 awake now. Splendid. Just remember what I said, Hucka D. About the you know whats.
Hucka D.:
The rumblings.
Carr.:
The rumblings. Yes. The rumblings.
