[Lyle appears to be on the beach despite the rain, and looks completely unfussed by the fact that he's now mildly moist.]

Well, what do you know. Looks like the rain just made all of that crazy pollen vanish. Just a guess, but is everyone back to their original gender now? [There's a small grin for a moment.] Allelujahs, Neil and Oliver, I'm looking at you.

[He suddenly begins looking a lot more serious than in either of his previous transmissions.]

Oh, and one more thing - did anyone else catch that weird message about five minutes ago? It might just be me, but that sounds like a chance to get a ticket out of here, assuming that our mysterious new neighbours aren't more likely to just bomb us once they've found what they wanted. What do you guys think?

Not the word I was thinking of, but close enough. [Grin]

I like the way you think.

[bolganone.livejournal.com]

I bet it's still close!

What do ya think we should do? Try and talk to them somehow and then... [Ping!] Maybe they'd notice us better if we wore one of those ugly old suits they gave us!

[not-that-lockon.livejournal.com]

Like I said, close enough.

Prisoners were orange suits in your-- [shakes his head. No getting sidetracked.] Yup, those- they said they thought we were natives, so maybe if we put 'em on, they'd change their minds and pick us up!

It's worth a shot. Do you still have yours around? I don't fancy going back into that ship, not now.

[bolganone.livejournal.com]

[...>: oh right.] It's still in my room.

[not-that-lockon.livejournal.com]

[Sighs a little.] Well, we could ask around, I guess.

[bolganone.livejournal.com]

Someone has to have one!

[not-that-lockon.livejournal.com]

You're right. With all the people hanging around here, someone must have been attached enough to bring it off.

[bolganone.livejournal.com]

I'll go ask around! [And he's off. :|b]
