Seventeenth PSI

[a_gentle_boy]

[Lucas has a package!  It is very large and it is wrapped up all nicely on his driveway, blocking the passage of any cars.  He wonders momentarily what he could have possibly gotten back until realizing that he only has one 'possession' that's shaped like this.  After spending about twenty minutes carefully removing it from its packaging, Lucas beams at the extremely odd . . . thing.]

Hi.  It's nice to see you again.

[With that, he gets on.  And is instantly dragged away.]

W-Wha . . . Uwahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!  S-S-Slowwww d-doooooown!

[He hangs on for dear life.
Mr. Saturn's Tea Table is rampaging around the town!  Lucas has forgotten how to control this thing and is liable to smash into anybody and everything.  It's a little smaller than a car and seats four.  Here is a picture although it's larger than that in canon.  Here is a video demonstrating it running things over.]

Sorry!  . . .   Ah, get out of the way! . . .   I-I'll heal you later . . . !   Tea Table!   You've got to calm down!

But... but I thought you were lying! How'd you get one of those? How does it work? And what's a Mr. Saturn?

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

Well. I got it from the Mr. Saturns. They're really nice, but they're walking heads and they talk a little funny. And I try not to lie if I can, but I didn't want you to feel bad that I'd never heard of you.

[wybrows.livejournal.com]

You come from a really crazy place... What else do ya got there?

I-I definitely wouldn't feel bad if you hadn't heard of me. 'cause... You will! Everyone will soon. I'm just starting out as a country, so that's why.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

Well . . . The strangest thing besides Saturn Valley is probably PSI. Psycho . . . Psycho-something.

[Fwoosh. Have some healing Lifeup Alpha, Wy.]

[wybrows.livejournal.com]

H-huh? That was... PSI? [ She thinks that's cool but she can't say that. ]

... Seems sorta interesting, I guess. Too weird for my tastes though. I like my house better.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

. . . What does your house have to do with anything?

[wybrows.livejournal.com]

It's better than anythin' you could show me. It's real pretty and there's lots of creativity all around... A-and there'll be a highway there soon! Really!

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

Oh! That's what you mean . . . Well, maybe if you get it back sometime, you can show me then. Or draw a picture?

[Lucas doesn't know what a highway is but pretends to.]

[wybrows.livejournal.com]

I can paint you picture. I'm a really great artist, y'know. I could even paint a really great portrait of you if I wanted to.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

Really? That'd be really nice, thanks. . . . I like to draw myself, but I'm only OK at all.

[wybrows.livejournal.com]

You like drawing? That's a good start, at least. ... If you want, I can teach you some important stuff if ya ever want to be a good artist.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

Can you? I'd really appreciate that! . . . I mean, I've been practicing a lot over the summer, but there isn't really anyone here who can teach me.

[wybrows.livejournal.com]

Of course. D'you got lots of creativity? 'Cause if you don't have any creativity, you're kind of a lost cause.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

I think I'm pretty good at being creative. I like to draw things and people I see, though.

[wybrows.livejournal.com]

Ah, me too. I'm real good at paintin' people. I also like painting my garden and my possum, or any other animal. Too bad this place is so boring.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

Well. I was thinking about drawing everyone who's ever lived here . . . So no one would forget the people who get droned.

I'm not really good enough, though.

[wybrows.livejournal.com]

[ Such a nice sentiment. She would feel bad saying it's stupid. ]

... I'm definitely good enough so... I dunno, maybe I'll help if I get bored or somethin'. How many people've lived here?

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

U-Uh. A lot. A lot lot.

[wybrows.livejournal.com]

Well... I might help with some... But I'll teach ya how to paint really well so you can do it on your own. I'm a really busy person, you know.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

If you can do that, I'd really appreciate it. Do you want to look at some of my drawings to see if it's worth trying to teach me?

[wybrows.livejournal.com]

Of course. That's the only way I can tell what direction you need to go in.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

Alright, then. I'll bring some around the next time I see you, Wy.

[wybrows.livejournal.com]

Sounds good.
