[Stiles appears on the feed, after giving his console a good solid thumping. He's peering into it like he can see right through the screen, trying to fix the unfixable. There's one momentary ghosting, a doubling of his image, but then it stabilizes.]

Hah! Percussive maintenance saves the day again.

Okay, got some stuff to talk about, and I can't give three ripping farts as to who or what is listening, so suck it. I'm gonna start making, like, World War Two style propaganda posters and sticking them up all over the place. Victory Gardens and War Bonds, guys. Let's make it happen. Bonus points if we can all dress like Gene Kelly and Ginger Rogers for the duration.

One! Late Memorial Day barbecue. Bring your own grilling goods, communal shared style. Pot luck style. Low on food so let's all share style. Thanks to Darcy for coming up with the idea, seriously, that girl is super awesome smart. And appropriate theme, because Jesus Harry Christ on a bouncing kangaroo, memorials all over.

Two! Had a really interesting dream last night involving a little boy, named Rio'era. Aaaaaand I've been led to understand this is a thing? Anybody else having weird dreams about little kids popping up and giggling a bit at you? Because wow it's borderline creepy. More than borderline, if I'm one hundred percent honest.

Three! Who put the ram in the ramalama ding dong?

Important question for the ages.

Yeah. Because Ned Jed sounds like something you'd call a hillbilly in the Ozarks. I'm not milking your cows or cording your wood, dude.

Do you even know how much a cord of wood is?

It just means someone who likes to talk, whether he himself is he only one listening or not.

Approximately a hundred and twenty eight cubic feet, actually.

I go on Wikipedia binges a lot.

[ There's a noise of approval at that, whether to the correct knowledge or the Wiki binge is unclear (but possibly both) and a thoughtful pause. Stiles is surprisingly easy to talk to and Bakura doesn't normally elaborate or revise when he's given an answer, but he does in this case. ]

The hatchlings are children that don't know any better. Sometimes you let them make their own mistakes and learn, and sometimes you step in before they get hurt.

I'm getting that part, yeah. I feel like this is some ABC after school special, where two kids are assigned to "raise" an egg. And then it breaks, and they learn a very important lesson about responsibility or something.

Let's try to avoid that if possible. Enjoy your barbecue.
