[Jaunt] Gerbils. Why did it have to be gerbils?

Should anyone find a gerbil where a gerbil should not be, please return it to me as soon as possible. It would seem that the stars of Giant Gerbils from Mars...have escaped.

[Sento hates everything this production has chosen to be.]

I told you that you should be more worried over the gerbils than the explosion potential. How many are we talking about, here?

Three hundred, give or take. Some of them might be pregnant--the idiots didn't keep the males and females separate before I got here--and there might be cats prowling the studio.

[Every single thing that happens here is designed to test her ability to keep a straight face in ridiculous but stressful-to-other-people situations]

I see... Well, I’ll do my best.

Thanks. If the budget weren't so shoestring, I'd offer a bounty on them.

But as it stands I'm really having to get creative.

Do you have traps? Or cages or anything?

I've set out a few nonlethal traps, though I worry about people on other productions who might not be as kind.

If you’ve got extras I can bring them by the other sets when I do deliveries there.

I found a few chewing on the cords in the War of the Worlds set.

Of course they'd be trying to sabotage the other Mars feature. Tricky little monsters.

[There is a very sarcastic and tired edge to his mental voice here.]

If you catch them, would you mind bringing them by Soundstage 27?

At least not that many got in, so the damage isn't very huge.

Yeah, I have them so I'll head over right away. The staff here wants them gone as soon as possible anyway.

Perfect. They're at least supposed to damage things here; I'll have to add some more suspension bridges for them to gnaw on.

If you need help, just let me know. I have a lot of free time, since they don't trust a teenager to do anything, even if I do have the skills.

Also is one of these supposed to have mustache? Because one of them does.

If you'd like to come by, you're welcome to it.

...and no, no mustaches were in the script. I'm not even sure I want to know how that happened.

I'll just pick up a few more gerbils from here that they found and be on my way.

Huh. You don't supposed there's another movie around that needs gerbils?

A few of them got in one of the walkers, Pidge, dear. Would you mind coming to get them out? I very much appreciate it.

... of course they did. I'll be right there.

Thank you very much. I appreciate it.

By the way, if you are too frustrated, darling, I found a quantity of science fiction books in the bookstore here that I had never seen. At least a couple of them will likely make you laugh. I left a few on your workshop desk.

... thanks Helena. I might take you up on that if I need to fetch even one more coffee.

Can I ask you for a portal ride, if I do decide on that?

Oh, absolutely. Any time you need to get away, dear, I am more than happy to 'give you a portal ride' as you say.

Also, it sounds like you need a bit of comfort food. I'll make sure I stock up on peanut butter cookies. Anything else you'd like?

You motherfuck.

[He doesn't actually sound angry. Just vaguely exasperated.]

There's like an army of goddamn hamsters in the props department, I think they made a nest in one of the fake buildings.

You say that like I'm the one who let them out, which I'm not.

Keep them there, I'll come remove the nest...but only if they're gerbils; hamsters would be from some other production and therefore not my responsibility.

It's all the same thing to me, my dude. We don't have either back in my world - or, uh, in my country, rather. They're pests, it's illegal.

I suppose one country's pest is another country's beloved pet.

I can't say I see the appeal myself, not after this.

They're cute. Bite sized.

[And there's the edge of a 'shit-eating grin' feeling lurking around those words.]

...in some cultures, I suppose so.

[What if he ignores the shit-eating grin? What then?]
