Day 271

Ace [in the booth]: So, RM asked Chant, CJ, and me to meet him in the den in an hour. Now, all this together time is great and all, but one thing's for certain...

Chant: ...this better be important. I'm marking this down as NON-TRAINING TIME. Not only that but I definitely need...

CJ: ...some time on the treadmill right now to think about how Hawkman and...

Ace: ...Rogue better not stand me up, cuz after all this time, I definitely need the familiar feel of a...

Chant: ...mail in my hands.

Narrator: Soon, Ace, CJ, and Chant walk down the steps into the mansion den.

RM552: Hey, guys--

CJ: [you sunnuva...]

RM552: ...and girl. Welcome to my office.

Chant: This better be important. This is NOT TRAINING!

RM552: That's nice. Now, as you may know, I've been working down in the den on a few... projects.

CJ: Did you make my boots?

RM552: Now, Ace, I--

Ace: Ace present and reporting, SIR!

RM552: Great. Ace--

Ace: Here, SIR!

RM552: Heh. Very funny, but seriously, Ace--

Ace: Right here, SIR?

RM552: ....

Ace: [nyah hah]

Without another word, RM throws Ace a new box of cards and almost immediately, Ace realizes that something is off.

Ace: These cards feel heavy.

RM552: That's because they're all new trick cards with new features added [cool] .

Ace, CJ, Chant: Ooooooh!

With ease, RM552 picks up a very huge book and throws it to Ace, who gets knocked to the ground.

Ace: What the?

RM552: Instruction booklet.

Ace: Are you serious?

RM552: ...volume one.

Ace: -

CJ [mumbling]: All I wanted was a new pair of boots [...rassamnfrackin...] .

RM552: Now Chant.

Chant: ....

RM552: Chant?

Chant: ....

RM552: CHANT!

Chant: Oh, hello.

RM552: Chant, I made you a mailbag.

Chant: Oh really? That's nice. I'll just add it to the SIXTY-FOUR OTHER MAILBAGS I HAVE!

RM552: But this is a special mailbag.

Chant [inspecting the outside]: I don't see anything special about it. Looks like a standard issue ATG-74PK1 mailbag to me.

RM552: Look inside.

Chant opens it up and sticks his head inside.

Chant: WHOA!

RM552: It's bottomless.

Chant: How'd you do that?

RM552: Pretty easy, actually. A little bit of wormhole, mixed with a dab of tesseract technology. It's all in Chapter 14 [cool] .

Chant: You have NO idea how this works, do you?

RM552: Not a clue.

CJ: Is a pair of boots too much to ask!?!

RM552: CJ.

CJ: No. No, it isn't [sad] .

RM reaches behind his workdesk and pulls out a shoebox.

RM552: CJ, this is for you.

CJ [grabbing the box and ripping it open]: <Gasp> Are these the Rosa Klebb pair?

RM552: They're straight from Russia, with love.

CJ: CJ pulls out a shiny new pair of brown, leather boots, and claps the heels together. To her glee, two long knife blades flick from the toes.

Ace and Chant: -

CJ [stabbing the boots through the air]: You really shouldn't have.

RM552: I have the sinkin' feeling you're right.
