Garius Lupus

*Still a little dazed, spits sand out of mouth in Red Dog's general direction.*

Pin? Pin? What pin?

*Looks down at his hand*

You know, this looks an awful lot like a pineapple, which, for some strange reason gives me a craving for blanc-mange. But without the duct tape. Or the lego block. Or the eel. Say, this eel is looking a bit stretched and there is quite a pull on that arm. Thanks for helping with that, Lil. It's awfully nice of you to hold my hand. Are you doing anything Saturday night? Have you noticed the way the light glints off of these people digging me out of this sugar bowl? Isn't that sweet? I think I might take a little nap now...

Garius, wake up! We already have a date on Saturday night to fight Evil, remember?

*shakes sand out of her hair and gets a better grip on the grenade itself while she waits for Caer to insert the pin*

*GL sits bolt upright and hurls the grenade, with the lego and eel attached, as far as he can, which isn't very far because of the weight of the eel. Nevertheless, it is far enough to reach the water.*
