Shhhh. I think I saw one over there...

Where?

*glances around furtively* shhhh

*crunch*

What we looking at?

Crisp? *crunchcrunch*

*blinks*
*blinks*

*Hands Trin binoculars with lens caps still on*
It's very rum. *peeks into binoculars* When you look where it ought to be, over there, it's all dark. It's like it has a special cloaking device that only works when you use binoculars.
Sometimes you can hear it and you think it's very close but then when you use the binoculars everything just vanishes!

*An indistinct character wearing black slinks into the shadows on the other side of the room*

*The character lurks in the shadows for a while, then quietly moves along the wall, watching*


*Just lurking, and watching*











*Back in the first side of the room - you know, where the rest of the folks are so far - Lady P blinks in the half-darkness*

You know, I'm almost sure I saw somebody move over there. Did any of you see anything?

I think it was in those bushes::
*points**
or... maybe.... hang on

*Hangs on to bush...*
Is this George dubya or the other one?

Looks like a burning bush to me.



*hides dead matches*

Oooh! Maybe the spooky cloaking device has a negative side effect on bushes.

*Fetches a pitcher of water*

*watches as pitcher makes an almost perfect throw of water in the direction thought to be Trin*

*Puts up umbrella*

*Waits for Trin to come back*

*lowers umbrella*

*raises flag*

*dries out, very very slowly*

Drip.

Drip drip.

Hello!

D'oh, I blinked. *rubs eyes with caffeine soaked vest stain.*
