RKMBs Forums .::Important::. Writer's Block So Britannica walks up to the Penultimate MBL HQ...

[a JLR Talk Thread Adventure]

Britannica stands contemplating the Penultimate MBL's H.Q. doorbell.

Brit: I wonder if they have any security devices? [he shrugs his shoulders] Oh well, here goes...

*ding-dong

Brit: Hmmm, I'm sure I heard voices earlier?

Suddenly Douggie the Dial a Domino Hut pizza delivery boy walks up to Britannica, carrying two pizzas.

Douggie: 'Scuse me old dude, but I've like got 5 minutes to deliver this pizza, or like they'll come out of my pay.

Brit: Old dude!?! Hey, did you say pizza? That gives me an idea...

Two minutes later, we find Britannica $20 short and wearing a Dial a Domino Hut pizza delivery boy uniform.

Brit: This should bring 'em out.

*ding-dong*

Brit: Hey dudes, pizza!

Three minutes later...

Brit: Hmph. Well I don't have all night to stand around here...

Britannica writes a note and sticks it to the front door of the Penultimate MBL HQ door.

Brit: Obviously I'm going to have to find others to aid us against the CSF.

Britannica walks off in search of other heroes in the RKMB....

30 seconds later...

TTT: I wish you guys would let me know when you install a doorbell... Hey. What's this note?

Mxy: What's it say, my robotic buddy?

TTT: Android. How many times do I have to say....

Euro: Nevermind that. Any sign of my pizza?

TTT: *sigh* No.

Mxy: What's the note say?

TTT: Dear MBLers,

We at the Justice League Reality are in a spot of bother at the moment. Was hoping you could help out. Obviously you're not at your HQ, but I have to run. We are in Big City battling duplicates of our former team-mate, Vegi-La, and a group calling themselves the Crime Syndicate of Fiction.

Meet us there, or leave a message on the JLR Talk Thread.

Ta!

Britannica

p.s. Cheers for the pizza. Consider us even for the vegemite we gave you for Kristogar Velo.

Brit

Euro: Dang. That was my favourite. Pepperoni, olives and extra anchovies...

The pink convertible pulled up in front of MBL HQ. The young man behind the wheel parked it across two spaces; he'd never got the hang of parallel parking. The valet would move it soon enough.
"I can't wait to show everyone my new dresses!" Nuriko gushed.
"It seems kind of quiet," said Tommy. "Think anyone's home?"
Then he saw the note on the door. "What's this?"
"Maybe they went out for coffee or something," Nuriko mused. "I hope my pass key still works."
Just as she went to swipe it in the lock . . .

TTT opened the door.

Nuriko did not say, "GAH!" as one would expect in a post written by a Penultimate MBLer... instead, she smiled and said, "What's for dinner? Tommy and I are simply starved from all that shopping."

TTT: "Strange. Very strange."

The Eurostar walked up from behind him and said, "Oh, hello, Nuriko! It's been a while."

Nuriko: "Hi, Euro! You remember Tommy?"

Euro shook Tommy's hand and said, "I remember you vaguely. You were one of those MBL 'hanger-ons,' right? That's the correct American phrase, I hope."

Tommy: "I'm Nuriko's love-slave, to be precise."

Euro: "Really? Well, I was once known as the Latin Lover of Space."

Tommy: "We should compare notes."

TTT was still at the door, looking for someone else outside. "I could've sworn that when I opened this door I would find either a pizza-boy or a member of the JLR, or possibly both. And my internal chronometer informs me that the last five minutes have been erased from history and rewritten. Wasn't Mxy also here with me and Euro? Strange. Very strange."

TTT bent over and picked up the pizza box. He opened it up and looked at the steaming pizza.

TTT: "Anchovies? Who ordered anchovies on this pizza? Strange. Very strange..."

The world-famous funky time-travelin' android found a note pinned to the door from Britannica of the JLR.

TTT: "Hmm... Brit's handwriting is strange. Very strange."

He made a note to look up the JLR as soon as possible after lunch, if only to learn whether they have experienced any similar chronal "hiccups."

Destiny: No, TTT, there's no JLR or Pizza Boy waiting for you... instead, there is something much more sinister... That's right, kids, A MIDGET PIZZA MAN!
An evil laughter could be heard from inside the Pizza Box. The Penultimate MBL didn't know that they had... a date with destiny!

Wicked, Mxy. Very wicked...
