Duck dunks Fleebo in orange juice to see if she's citrusphobic. Fleebo is not citrusphobic either... just sticky now. :) Duck hee hees! Duck shoves Fleebo in the harbour to help clean her off. Fleebo swims happily. Ooo look... fish... AbisMal grins. Kit sighs. Kit exclaims, "Seeya all later!" AbisMal asks, "So, Sassy, who's the GtK guest this week?" Duck says, "Oooo look. Electric eels....ZAP!" Fleebo hugs Kit! Sassy meows, "Well...the scheduled guest is Disnut..." AbisMal says, "C ya, Kit." Kit hears a whisper on the breeze that is calling him home... Kit has left. Duck waves to Kit. Duck sings along with Crowded House. AbisMal reminds himself to be on early tomorrow to catch Ariel's radio show. :) Fleebo had better go. :( Duck boos. Fleebo hughugs you all! AbisMal hugs Fleebo. "C ya..." Aquata has arrived. A foam-crested waves sweeps in toward you, depositing Aquata gently beside you before receding again, leaving no trace of its existence but the mermaid now in your midst. Sir AbisMal the Stone-Hearted draws his sword and bows, deeply, to his Queen/patroness. He then awaits permission to rise. Aquata nods permission to Abis with a smile. Sassy meows, "Ok everyone, we have a surprise new guest for tonights show, since apparently Disnut can not make it." Ariel hugs Fleebo. Duck ooooohs...Hey, Aquata, I've been meaning to ask you this for a while...Do mermaid queens chew Trident gum? AbisMal says, "I hope my bbmer message got across to all the Knights and Princesses..." Fleebo opens the front door to Town Hall and steps out to Main Street. Fleebo has left. Sassy meows, "Please welcome our guest, Her Majesty, Aquata!" Aquata says, "No, it gets stuck to my dental work, Duckums. ;>" Duck laughs! :) AbisMal gasps... Ariel yays for sis! Aquata waves to everyone. Duck is a knight, and I got no message. Where's my memo? ;) AbisMal says, "it's on the bbmer, Duck." Duck nodsnods. Sassy meows, "As usual, whisper/page your questions to me, and I will say them to Aquata in the order received. :)" Aquata finds a seat and settles in. Sassy enquires, "Anyone have any questions?" Ariel racks her brains for a question. Aquata says, "I think the problem is the audience already knows me pretty well. ;>" Duck grins. :) AbisMal says, "More or less..." Aquata says, "And I answered Duckie's pressing query early. ;>" Duck laughs. :) Si shouts, "Ooo! Here's your chance to ask the head of the Mertable about all her deepest, darkest secrets! Ask her for the scoop on her and Cherny! Ask her what it takes to become a knight! Or, ask her OOC questions about Harvard! That's right! Getting To Know is starting Now! Jump Sassy to join and get to know tonight's guest: Aquata!" Sassy grins..."The first question comes from AbisMal, who asks where you got the idea to be Aquata and not Ariel. AbisMal says, "no offense to the Princess here..." Aquata says, "Well, there WAS an Ariel already." Si has arrived. You hear the whisper of bare feet against the floor, and the soft swish of her skirt against her legs as she enters. Si waves hello! Sassy waves to her sister! Aquata says, "But there were no other Daughters of Triton in the FDC, so I just picked the first one." Si gives Sassy the secret smile of CRnDD. Sassy gives Si the secret smile of the CRnDD. Aquata wonders if the secret smile involves partially disappearing. Si grins, fading till only her teeth show. Aquata chuckles. Ariel grabs the teeth and puts them in a glass of disinfectant. AbisMal laughs out loud! Sassy enquires, "The next question comes from Princess Ariel, who asks, "What sort of things does the Queen of Atlantica do?"" Aquata says, "Paperwork. Lots and lots of paperwork. Modern government couldn't function without red tape, you know. :>" Ariel asks, "Do you have anyone to help you with it?" AbisMal says, "Ah, most Atlantican politicians are wet behind the ear anyway..." AbisMal groans at his own pun... Aquata says, "I have an entire bureaucratic staff of seahorses in little pastel muffs. I'm not sure why they insist on the muffs, but for some reason they work better with them on." Ariel ignores the punster. Si exclaims, "Government? Red tape? never! :P" Aquata grins and figured you'd know ALL about red tape, Mme President. :> Si smiles innocently. Sassy enquires, "Princess Ariel has another question, which is, "Is there anyone 'special' in your life (IC or OOC)?"" Aquata says, "ICly, there hasn't been anyone since...er..." Aquata blushes. "Since my unfortunate dalliance with a certain French hunter who shall remain nameless." AbisMal opens his mouth...then closes it, not saying a word. Ariel nods . . Aquata says, "OOCly, I have a boyfriend who's a graduate student in Philadelphia. We've been together for 6 years now." Sassy grins. Ariel says, "That's impressive." AbisMal grins. Ariel asks, "And no plans to take it any further just yet?" Aquata says, "Well, we do plan to get married, but since we're both in graduate school it's not in the near future." AbisMal grins even wider. "Congrats." Aquata says, "The earliest would be 3 years from now when he finishes his PhD." Aquata says, "Thank you, Abis." Duck says, "Well, at least you have something incredibly wonderful to look forward to. :)" Aquata grins at Duckums. Also incredibly expensive. :> Duck says, "So make it a small wedding. Or elope. ;)" AbisMal asks, "How'd YOU know, Duckster? You've only ATTENDED weddings. :)" Si huhs? "You mean grad students aren't rich? And don't they have tons of free time, too?" Ariel giggles. Aquata says, "My grandmother would kill me if I eloped. I'm her only granddaughter." Aquata tschyahs at Si. Duck grins at Abis. I've heard lots of stories. Si smiles. Aquata says, "You have OBVIOUSLY not seen my stipend checks." Ariel wishes you all the best, Sis. Aquata awws and HUGS her sister. Thank you! Si shakes her head, "Nope, opened all your other mail but that. :P" Duck lol Sassy giggles. Aquata says, "You're missing out. You'd have gotten a good laugh out of the amount on the check. ;>" Si smiles. Si says, "I'll grab one next time. :P" Sassy enquires, "AbisMal asks, "A while back ago, I read a r.a.d. article about Aquata and another mermaid creating "Mermaid Records", but only a "duets" album came out. What happened to the company?"" Duck laughs! I'd forgotten about that! AbisMal says, "it's in the archives..." Aquata ahs. "Well, the company's still around, but our marketing surveys showed a lull in interest. I'd be perfectly willing to do another album, but we'd have to get a new composer since Sebastian's got other things on his mind. :> Duck asks, "Aquata, who was on the duets album? I seem to remember singing one duet with you." AbisMal says, "Hmmm...maybe you'd be interested in signing the Street Rats to a contract." Ariel unveils her new song, "These Thingamajiggers were made for . .what's that word again? walkin'" Aquata doesn't recall all of the tracks, Duckie. I'm sure it's in the archives, but the only one I can remember off the top of my head is "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" with Ursula and Ariel. Aquata grins at sis. AbisMal is checking the archives right now... Ariel giggles. Aquata says, "Abis, if you want to come in for an audition we'll see about a possible contract." AbisMal says, "Yeah,...our current contract with Getsastan Records will end with the next album..." Aquata smiles. "Have your agent give my people a call, then." AbisMal nods. "I'll get Harroud on it, your Majesty. :)" AbisMal notes the archives have suddenly gotten slow... Sassy enquires, "Si asks (ICly), "Are there any new squires in the Mertable?"" Ariel snorts. "As if we'd answer that!" Aquata believes there are, yes. But you'd have to ask my sister Attina, since she's now in charge. Go pester her. ;> Si looks at Ariel, curious. "Hmm?" AbisMal says, "Ah...here we go...Ariel & Ursula with "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me"..." AbisMal says, "Geppeto and Pinnochio with "I'm Your Puppet"..." Si grins a little at Aquata. "I just may at that." Aquata says, "Be my guest." AbisMal says, "And Snow White and the unnamed huntsman with "Don't Go Breaking My Heart". :)" Aquata chuckles. Chandra and I had fun with that. :> AbisMal says, "Chandra = FDC Arista." Aquata misses her, actually. She was lots of fun. Duck nodsnods. :) Sassy has no more questions right now...feel free to ask at will. :) AbisMal says, "I always thought a Steffenwolf tribute album would be next...Aladdin singing "Magic Carpet Ride"...or Mowgli doing "Born To Be Wild"... :)" Duck laughs! Aquata grins at Abis. Never considered that. I might hire you as a concept artist. ;. DisNut has arrived. You see a flash of light, and suddenly.... there she appears in her Disney emsemble..... topping it all off with her Mouseketeer hat with "DisNut" sewn on the back, of course........ It's DISNUT! AbisMal grins. DisNut says, "Howdy..." Si waves hello! AbisMal asks, "Oh, THERE you are, young lady! Where have you benen?!? :)" DisNut blinks... "Meeeee?" DisNut says, "I've been... around." AbisMal yells, "It's only....50 minutes late! :)" DisNut raises an eyebrow Aquata waves to DisNut. DisNut exclaims, "Hiya, Aquata!" Aquata asks, "Do you want to switch guests now, Sassy?" AbisMal points to Sassy...who's interviewing Aquata instead of DisNut... DisNut asks, "Instead of me?" DisNut is confoozled. Duck needs to go now....See y'all later! You hear odd music, and a conga line dances through the room. Duck jumps up, joins the end, and boogies right out the door! Duck has left. AbisMal grins. "I think it's time I split, too. Thanks for the insight, your Majesty. And I'll have Harroud call your people to set up a rehearsal for the Street Rats. :)" DisNut asks, "I was... the guest tonight???" Sir AbisMal the Stone-Hearted draws his sword and bows, deeply, to his Queen/patroness. He then awaits permission to rise. DisNut gulps Aquata nods and waves at Abis. "Please do." DisNut says, "Uh... okay." AbisMal , in a very un-Knight-like move, hugs his Queen as well. DisNut says, "Well, I can't stay, anyway... so maybe we'll reschedule later on..." AbisMal waves to everybody as he splits to harrass Harroud. "C ya, folks." Sassy waves to Abis. AbisMal opens the front door to Town Hall and steps out to Main Street. AbisMal has left. DisNut exclaims, "Bye MAbis!" Aquata chuckles at Mabis. :> That has nickname potential. DisNut chuckles DisNut hates the typo demon. DisNut has ordered a Figgy Sandwich. Cue the paramedics! Aquata says, "But he makes life so much more interesting, DisNut." Si cocks her head, "Mabis? Any relation to Malba toast?" Aquata has triggered the profanity checker umpteen times typoing "Duck" DisNut shrugs... "Could be, Si!" Ariel giggles. Aquata grins. DisNut yawns... "Okay dokay... time to go to bed!" DisNut exclaims, "Gnight everybody! See you in... three weeks!" Si exclaims, "Night! :)" Aquata waves to DN. DisNut runs off to her bedroom to get some sleep before the next time she signs back on.... DisNut has left. Ariel says, "Little interloper . . . :)" Aquata chuckles. Sassy grins. > look FDC Town Hall A large, ornate room with rich wood panelling and a long counter.

Sassy curls up on the floor and yaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwnnnnnssssssss. Aquata tries reallyreallyreallyreallyreally hard not to yawn. Si thanks you all. She yawns. Ariel wonders why yawning is so contagious. Aquata doesn't know. Aquata says, "It's not cross-species, though. I can't make my dog yawn by yawning in front of her."
