Al enters the bar and makes his way to the bar to see if there are any messages from Ed. There aren't, and he gets The Notice instead.

Al exits the bar again.

He returns a second later with some odd-looking currency, and puts it on the bartop. His tab disappears. Hooray for gainfully employed brothers.

That settled, he goes over to his table and starts reading something huge and scientific.

It counts, Ed just likes it down here.

"I know a game where you hide from people. Would you like to play?"

Like hide and seek?

Yes, Ed would love to play.

"Yes, that one. Would you like to play outside? I don't think I can find many places to hide in here."

Okay.

*Ed climbs out from under the table*

Al pushes open the door for Ed. He doesn't know, but it's a bit cold out.

"We need something to be base. How about that rock?" he says, pointing to a large one by the lake.

*Ed ignores the cold and bounces about.*

Oh, that would make a good base.

"I'll count first, so you can hide," says Al, generously. "But I think there should be no hiding in the bar, and no going too far into the forest. And no going in the lake. I get rusty in the water."

As he speaks, he walks over to the rock, and raises his hands to cover his eye sockets.

"Ready?"

Okay, ed thinks that sounds good.

*she looks around for a minute.*

Okay, ready!

"One, two, three . . ."
