Did you all think you were going to get to spend your whole mission time just watching Dawson's Creek and going to bars and reading trashy romance novels and watching cats fly while Gar did all the work all week long?

Nice try.

Various duties are below - your characters will be dragged along on some of them over the course of the week. Feel free to pick and choose what your character might have volunteered (or been "volunteered") for.

Maybe if you've been there before.

But right. Creativity. [He screws up his face, reaching into a bag of peanuts propped in the cup holder.] On a zeppelin.

[slays]

[ She wouldn't know if she's been there before. :( Thanks for reminding her, dick. ]

Is it a Mickey Mouse zeppelin?

[nosdacaraid]

A what who zeppelin? [Yes, this is really happening]

[slays]

... Mickey Mouse? [ A beat. ] You picked Disneyland and you don't know who Mickey Mouse is?

[nosdacaraid]

Oh, that Mickey Mouse. [/awkward laughter] Yeah, I... I know that one.

[slay]

... Right. How many Mickey Mouses do you think there are exactly?

[nosdacaraid]

I didn't watch a lot of TV as a kid.

[slay]

Or any, apparently. How do you not know Disney? I don't even know my own birthday and I know Disney.

[nosdacaraid]

I know Disney. The Lion King's my favorite movie. [s-so affronted]

[slay]

And yet Mickey Mouse eludes you.

[nosdacaraid]

Is that a problem?

... I think it's your turn, by the way.

[slays]

[ She shrugs a little. ] It's just weird, you know. [ She sits back, getting comfortable and resting the carton of chinese food on her calf as she considers. ] Okay, so I'm with James Franco. In Shanghai. And we're partners, and we're totally covertly disguised, sneaking into one of those big, fancy government buildings on some stealth mission.

[nosdacaraid]

So in this scenario is James Franco with the Knights? Or are you guys... [He pulls up finger air quotes] "partners"?

[slays]

The second one. [ She dismisses it easily. ] So, we finish stealing ... whatever the heck it is, I don't speak Chinese -- I don't think I speak Chinese, do you think I speak Chinese? [ Oh, the sidebars amnesia can bring us. She moves on. ] Anyway. We get onto the roof to escape and they're like shooting at us from helicopters and James Franco almost gets hit but I pull this cool, like, spy move, you know, and tackle him. And there's all this sexual tension but then our helicopter shows up and [ she makes a hand gesture of flying ] fwoom, off we go.

[nosdacaraid]

... Talk about unfortunate timing.

[slay]

But fortunate for the interest of keeping the game PG-13. Besides. This way, there's no shattering of any preconceived illusions I might have. [ She slurps at her drink. ] It's safer.

[nosdacaraid]

... Probably safer for the listening audience, at least.

But I wouldn't really call that creative. [Yep. Being called out.] Pretty sure I saw that movie.

[slay]

Yeah, and I'm pretty sure I played Candyland every day until I was 10. And you're busting my chops for creativity?

[nosdacaraid]

How was I supposed to know you made up the same thing when you were a kid? [yep, he doesn't know what

candyland is

either....]

[slay]

... It was a board game, Mark.

[nosdacaraid]

... Ok, well that does explain a few things.

[slay]

You mean to tell me you've never played Candyland.

[nosdacaraid]

I had... very strict parents?

[slay]

Very strict parents that raised you in a barn?

[nosdacaraid]

Something... like that.
