Overheard on a Hot Mic (7’15”)
[Toby] So, how are you feeling, Klie?
[Klie] Ugh, I have been better. That’ll teach me.
[Toby] Why did you drink coffee from a dirty mug, anyway?
[Klie] Old army habit, I’m afraid.
[Toby] I didn’t know you were in the army.
[Klie] Shh! We don’t talk about the bad old days, remember? it was a long time ago. Let’s just say I got used to the taste of burnt coffee in a dirty mug. In the meantime, I’ve also gotten out of the habit to check to see if there’s blood, ichor, or venom splashed on it.
[Toby] Klie, I need to talk to you about the possibility of taking a little trip.
[Klie] Hmm… i get the feeling I know where you are thinking of going. And it’s a crazy idea, Toby.
[Toby] Well, what else have I got to lose at this point? TRNN is basically cutting out funding down to nothing. They’ve even threatened to sue to force us to change our name so that they won’t be associated with us anymore.
This requires what Torg calls a “Heroic feat of truth-telling.”
[Klie] Let’s say I could help you carry out your crazy idea… Who would run the show.
[Toby] I’m still thinking about that, and I have a lot of arrangements to make. But, can you do it?
[Klie] Of course I can, darling. I’m always for a little daring-do… at least I will be once I’ve passed the last of this venom.
[Toby] Thanks, Klie.
