*Raph comes in via the front door. He's carrying a duffle bag over his shoulder. Immediately he scans the crowd for Penny, until his eyes pass where the hole should be. The bag falls to the floor with a loud clatter*

Damn it! I'm too frickin' late!

A what?!

I wonder where they came from, then.

Ah, well, that I can understand. But here I thought you were perfectly well adjusted. You've disappointed me.

A Lollypop Guild....I take it that was artistic license on the part of the movie people, huh?

Short people? I mean, everyone wants to be taller than someone.

That'd better be sarcasm, lady.

*looks vaguely horrified* I have no idea what you're talking about, so I would say so.

I suppose. Boq did, at least. Though that was mostly because of Glinda.

I'm never sarcastic. I'm hurt you'd suggest such a thing.

So no, "We represent the Lollypop Guild?" at all? Huh. Wierd.

Was Boq a little guy? ... Actually, a better question is: Who the hell is Boq?

*raises eyebrow* Uh huh.

*turns from looking horrified to looking caught between being ill and amused* No. No Lollypop Guild. What in Lurline's name would a Lollypop Guild do?

Well, yes. He was. *laughs quietly* He was a friend of mine. And Glinda's, too, for that matter. At least I like to think he was. He was also a Munchkin, though he wasn't very short as they go.

*sighs* No one ever believes me.

*Shrugs* Never had a frickin' clue one way or the other. There was that and...what was the other one? OH yeah, the Lull-a-bye League.

How short does short go? Outta curiosity.

Maybe cause sarcasm is easier to believe than the truth.
...
You really disappointed in me?

...I never want to see this movie. Ever.

*shrugs* Never smaller than a large Rabbit. About four feet, maybe. POssibly a little shorter. I'm Munchkin by birth, but I'm a "normal" height. It just depends.

*blinks* Only in that you'd ask such a foolish question.

*chuckles*
Aww, it ain't that bad.
No wait, maybe it is.

You've got four foot rabbits?

*he blinks*
But you just said it wasn't...but you're not...
Gah, never mind.

"Lollypup Guild?" Yes. It's that bad.

Of course.

*smiles slightly* No. I'm not disappointed in you.

Not even the slightest bit interested in just how bad though? Not even a little? Cause I'm sure we could get the bar to scrounge up a copy of the movie. Well, should the bar come back and all.

That's a huge frickin' rabbit.

Good, cause you just met me. I'd hate to think you got to that conclusion so quick.

...Only if I get to point out the inaccuracies.

So says the former Turtle.

It takes a great deal to disappoint me. I'm the only person who's managed to do it yet.

Wouldn't have it any other way.

Yeah, but I had chemicals to help with that. Wouldn'a turned out 5 feet tall on my own.

*nods*
Yeah, know what that's like.

*grudgingly* It could possibly be interesting.

You're talking to the green lady. Strange things happen in Oz.

*wry* It's not a nice feeling.

That's the spirit!

Sounds like it.

No. No it ain't.
Kinda makes me wish I was just disappointin' other people. Least with that you can apologize or, make amends.

I'm going to regret that.

You have no idea.

*frowns slightly* Not always.

*wicked grin*
What makes you say that?

Yeah, I get the feeling that New York ain't got nothin' on Oz. And it kinda pains me to say that.

*sighs at the realization*
Yeah, not always.

Because you're smiling like the Cat that ate the Canary.

What's New York like, then?

No matter how hard you try, too.

*Still smiling*
Oh just ignore that.

Organized chaos. Imagine 7 and a half million people living on top of one another, trying to get along, or just trying really hard to not kill each other.

*nods soberly*

I'm completely reassured.

*stares* You have that many people in your land?

*snorts* Why you're listening to a cynical old woman go on about foolish things, Raph, I don't know.

As you should be.

Yeah, that's just New York. Country I live in got way more people than that. Like ten times at least.

Just commiseratin'.

*rolls eyes*

*just stares* I...can't imagine that many people. Not even if you added Ix, Oz, and Ev all together...

Mmm. *faint smile* Thank you.

*chuckles*

Yeah, it's a tad overwhelming. They call New York, "The City that Never Sleeps", and it's true for the most part. There's no such thing as quiet.
*he sighs happily*

Your welcome, but I'm just tellin' the truth.
