Mads Call #7

[itsjustthemads]

[Frank is looking over some reports when there is a sudden knock at the door to Deep 13. The door creaks open, and in walks a kind of frightening-looking woman dressed in green, with glasses and curly hair pulled up into a bun. It’s none other than...Pearl Forrester, Dr. Forrester’s mother!]

Frank: Oh my goodness! Pearl? Pearl Forrester?!

Pearl: Frank! Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! [She runs in and the two hug like old girlfriends.] How aaare you?!

Frank: Oh I’m doing just fine, Pearl! I didn’t know you’d be out here so soon!

Pearl: Ohh, well I heard that my Clay left for that dreck of a convention and I knew you’d be holding down the fort all by yourself so I thought I’d just come by and say hi! Maybe, yanno, give you a hand around the place.

Frank: Ohh Pearl, now, you don’t have to do that!

Pearl: Oh pshhaw, it’s nothing! I owed you a favor after you let me borrow that lovely party dress anyway!

Frank: Oh I practically couldn’t help it, it was your color!

Pearl: Haha, well, it certainly was! So! [She straightens herself out.] What’ve you got going on up there, you hard worker, you!

Frank: Hohoho, Hardly working, I’d say! Well, have a look for yourself! [He motions to the screen.]

Pearl: [squints up at the screen.] ...Huuh. Looks like you got some kinda wacky zoo up there at this point. Geeeeez, that looks gross and unsanitary. [She turns back to Frank.] Listen. Why don’t I set up cleaning up and organizing around down here, and you can start getting that zoo up there herded back into their proper holding pens or whatever? We can get a break for some coffee in a while.

Frank: Sounds terrific, Pearl!

Pearl: All right! [She claps her hands together.] Let’s get going here...

[Characters beware...looks like Pearl may be interfering a bit this week!]

...Pearl...Forrester?

[thewallman]

Ha! You can't catch me!

[sailorlaughter]

OHMYGOSH! You're Dr. Forrester's mom! Did you like those Christmas nuts I sent you?

[punsofiron]

[......Well, crap.]

You wouldn't dare.

[sailoryup]

...

You can't do that!

[itsjustthemads]

...Is that a talking clam?

[itsjustthemads]

But it's sanitary!

[itsjustthemads]

Well that's what tranquilizer darts are for!

[itsjustthemads]

Yeeeup, that's me.

That was the...um...OH! Those nuts! Yeah yeah, I thought those were a bit too classy for Clay. Well thank you!

[itsjustthemads]

Why not?

[thirteenth_brat]

We're not usually all animals, you know. Not our fault weird stuff happens now and then.

[verygassy]

..Scallop, actually.

[Siiiiigh.]

[sailorgenerous]

[Her friends in pens? Nope, that doesn't sound good. Rarity smiles at Cambot and turns up the charm.]

Hello, Frank! It's been far too long since we've talked. It's lovely to see you have company, though.

And...Pearl, is it? You must be Dr. Forrester's sister! My name is Rarity, and it is nice to meet you. Tell me, who does your hair? They've done a spectacular job and I simply must try them.

[Applejack would be cringing right now, but Applejack isn't here right now and Rarity is not the spirit of Honesty. If a little flattery is the direct route to keeping her friends out of cages, then by all means she's going to try it.]

[milliondollarpipes]

Come up here and try it, ya big mook.

[...okay, so maybe it's a little hard to be intimidating when you're an adorable flightless bird.]

[itsjustthemads]

Clam, scallop, whatever. Gotta say, that's one of the weirdest things I've seen this week.

[itsjustthemads]

Yeah yeah, I know, but you think that's our fault, either? ...Well maybe it is, I don't know, but the point is, still gotta get things organized!

[itsjustthemads]

[It's definitely hard around Frank] Awwwww wookit you! You said 'mook!'

[thirteenth_brat]

And your idea of organizing is caging us like the animals we look like right now? It isn't bad enough you've dragged us here against our will and are deliberately trying to drive us insane?

[itsjustthemads]

Frank: Ohhhh yes, I'm am so bad about catching up sometimes! Lookit that, you're not a unicorn anymore!

Pearl: ...Aaaactually, I'm Clay's mother.

[itsjustthemads]

It's kinda part and parcel of the whole mad scientist torture bit! Not gonna be like that Ross creep from 'Catching Trouble,' though. That's just mean!

[sailorgenerous]

Not at the moment, no! All of the animals up here became human this week and vice-versa. Of course, I'm still very much a unicorn at heart, and everyone else is still very much human. [Hint. Hint.]

You don't say! You look far too young and stylish to be anyone's mother.

[itsjustthemads]

Frank: Oh henry, I can tell! Aaand I guess so...except for the adorableness and fuzziness!

Pearl: [Congrats, you may have gotten some flattery through] Oh, you really think so? Well, I do try to keep up...

[sailorgenerous]

But they do still think and talk, remember, and you should treat them with kindness and respect. After all, if you became an animal, you wouldn't want to be in a cage, would you?

[Oh, look, an opening!] And you do a flawless job of it! I absolutely adore your coiffure - you must give me the name of your stylist!

[thirteenth_brat]

But what is even the point of it?

[itsjustthemads]

Organization and sanitation, that's what! Also needless stress on you is the point!
