Much Murmured Agreement
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 24946
|
Reaibn's words struck Fred like a poisoned dagger. "What did you do to
her!?" he gasped, rising to his feet and knocking over a jug of syrup in
the processs. "If you harm a hair on her head I'll - " "Hey relax, guy!" Reaibn replied smoothly. "Don't you go freting about her, she's just fine! She's being disciplined. You know how those Aqualarians are..." There was a chorus of murmured agreement from the throng of multi- classed people assembled at the breakfast table. Something about Reaibn struck Fred as... not quite evil... just...weird ...dangerously weird, and he obviously wielded some omnipotent power beyond reasoning. He knew somehow that Astra was okay for now, and he should just let it be. He sat back down and set the jug of maple syrup upright. "This is all very strange," he admitted."First order of business!" Reaibn proclaimed suddenly, startling the soon-to-be-king. "Before Fred is to be coronated there is the matter of his nasty undergarments. I think Fred is a dirty boy, and he has probably soiled them during his trip from the shower to the table. What say you all!?" Again, there was a chorus of murmured agreement. "Quite embarrasing for a King to have skid-marks," he added. "Could harm diplomatic relations with Thuringia." "What on earth are you talking about?" asked Fred, quite taken back."You're a very dirty, rotten, smelly boy, that's what I'm saying! And you need to brush your teeth, too! And wash behind your ears next time you take a shower, for goodness sakes! You will learn, do not fret! I will teach you how to scrub the nether regions of your body." Fred had no reply for this. As far as medieval lords went, his personal hygiene was pretty impeccable. He was beginning to fear that every soul he would meet in this strange reality would be just as insane as Reaibn and these other characters. "So,uh, hey Fred..." Reaibn mumbled uneasily, his voice sounding shaky. "Do you think ...I mean, am I... you know...aren't I, like ...cool?""Huh?" Reaibn began blushing like a schoolgirl. "You think I'm cool, don't you? I'm cool, right? Right!?? I mean, don't you think I'm cool!???" The eccentric janitor looked as if were going to hyperventilate if he didn't get an answer."YES!" Fred blurted out. "You're the coolest!" That seemed to calm him right down. "I'm cool? You think I'm cool!? I knew it! I knew I was cool!" There was much murmured agreement. "And you know what!?" Reaibn asked the others with a devilish grin."NO, WHAT!?" replied the others. "I just soiled my undergarments! I'm a dirty boy too! Tee hee!" There was much murmured agreement. This place was utterly hopeless.
