Just to break up the string of messages now changed to Br!n in the subject like. Back to that dark and empty drop cube..... * * * Rupert reverted back to the accent game and went into a tour-guide mode. âWe now journey into Tytlal Country. We regret the total lack of lighting for your visual enjoyment, but as the management has previously stated, because the Tytlal do act like Tytlal, no guarantees can be given in regards to either their activity, their inactivity, or ultimately, the viewer's sanity. âThe heads drooping off of the cartons allows for the spine quills to flex and unflex in a normal state of dreaming. âPlease do not feed the tytlal as you do not know where their minds have been. â "I think I can now make out the portal,â Fred stated. âThe cloud cover must finally be breaking up.â Rupert looked over his right shoulder and bumped into the corner at the same time. âFound the corner. "Just in time for the false dawn glow, I bet. How convenient. We're right on the equator on a planet with a day less than nineteen hours long. Udine appears slightly smaller than earthâs sun, even though weâre only half as far away from it. First twilight to dawn is going to be about fifteen minutes. This sun is going to come up like gangbusters. But don't use that expression in front of the tytlal. I dread the thought of seeing them in pinstripe suits. And I mean the Chicago mob pinstripes of the 1930s. Not the Dulles diplomatic pinstripe pants. Imitating a mild mannered official would be a welcome change to these tytlalâs normal shtick. And highly unlikely. Where Dulles said, âWe walked to the brink and we looked it in the face,â the tytlal would instead quote W. C. Fields. ââSometimes you have to take the bull by the tail and face the situation.â âOh,...and beware of using the word âshtickâ in front of a tytlal or they might start talking softly.â Fred pondered for a moment. âYou think a tytlal imitating Teddy Roosevelt would be a nuisance?â
Rupert took less time to reply. âHeâd probably wait for a Thennanin dinner party, pick out the thennanin who exhibits the most dour thought process and attack the erâs dinner plate with two electrodes just to say that he had charged up the sane oneâs brill."
