Back at the JLR interview room…

Wed: Alrighty then. So what are we going to do with this one?

RM552: Well, for the codename alone, I say we consider him. [rubbing his bruised shoulder] And he sure knows how to dish out the lumps.

MS2: He’s too young. His abilities are too random. And his control over his alter-egos leaves a lot to be desired.

Ace: Sounds like he’ll fit right in, then.

Wed: Maybe we should refer him to the Reality Titans?

CJ: Otherwise we could offer him temporary membership. A sword or axe against a vegibeastal form could come in very handy.

Ace: Hey! We don't want to kill La Machine. Just stop him, right?

CJ: Remember Ace, Vegi-La has regenerative powers. It'll take a lot to slow him down.

Ace: Oh yeah.

Wed: What if we end up with the berserker Hobbit?

RM552: Well that should be good for entertainment value.

Ace: OK. Let’s give the kid a break. I guess, we were all rookies when we started out.

MS2: I still say no.

Wed: I don’t know…? [looks to Cowgirl Jack] Temporary membership, huh?

CJ: Yep.

Wed: OK then. Let’s give him a go.

MS2: hmmm…

CJ: It’s OK Brian. Let him prove himself on the field. You can also offer him a few control techniques.

MS2: hmmm… OK. But under protest.

Wed: Alrighty then. Now we’ve got one and two half members.

Ace: So who’s next?

CJ: Um… Wild Thing.

Wednesday, Ace and Registered Member #552 burst into song

"… you make my heart sing…”

MS2 & CJ:

Wed, Ace & RM552:

Ace pushes the intercom button and calls in Wild Thing. A shaggy fur-covered humanoid bounds into the room on all fours. The first things the JLR notice are the sharp teeth and claws. The next is the lack of clothing.

JLR:

The man-beast sits on the floor and starts scratching behind his ear with his foot.

JLR:

CJ: Hello, Mr. Wild Thing…

Wild Thing responds by lolling his tongue out of his mouth.

Ace: So, why do ya want to join the JLR?

Wild Thing looks around the room, a big glob of drool hangs from his mouth.

JLR:

Wed: So would you like to demonstrate your abilities?

Wild Thing gets up off the floor, moves over to Wednesday and starts sniffing his crotch.

Wed:

JLR:

Wed: NEXT!!!!
