Week three of hopeless exile.

Still no sign of Gorgs. That doesn't mean they aren't around here, but that they are possibly just hiding, as I have a great sense of danger and danger most probably means Gorgs. Perhaps they're just planning to set up a trap for me.

I am still trying to be careful around the silly creatures, of which there seems to be a lot of. I bet they're carrying incurable bacteria not known to Fraggle-kind.

If any Fraggle should come across this journal in the future, please tell Red that I'm sorry I couldn't make it to her rock-hocky tournament, and Wembly that his banana shirt is pressed and neatly hanging in my Fraggle hole.

I will most likely die here.

Gorgs?

[wash_tub_woes]

Gorgs. You know. Big, horrible creatures that eat Fraggles for breakfast.

[mom_to_us_all]

Haven't seen anything like that so far. Are you a Fraggle?

[wash_tub_woes]

Absolutely!

[mom_to_us_all]

I'll keep my eyes peeled for you then!

[wash_tub_woes]

Are you a silly creature?

[sexyhitchhiker]

[so dry] Has anybody told you how optimistic you are?

dictated;

[wash_tub_woes]

I have no idea what you're talking about.

[sexyhitchhiker]

[mutter:] I'll bet.

And we're not carrying incurable bacteria. [huff]

[wash_tub_woes]

You couldn't know that! They're tiny and they wriggle and squirm on your body!

[sexyhitchhiker]

[scoff] They're on you too, you know.

[wash_tub_woes]

I KNOW! IT'S HORRIBLE!

What's a fraggle?

dictated; sorry for the delay, was out for the weekend

[wash_tub_woes]

I'm a Fraggle.

dictated (no problem! <3)

[sameteam]

What's rocky-hocky?

[wash_tub_woes]

It's a horrible, dangerous game! There are all these slip-slidey greaseberry leaves, and you strap them to your feet and adding to that you get to play around with sticks and stones and that just spells disaster!

[sameteam]

That sounds like hockey! Sometimes people hit each other with the sticks.

[heroldman]

If you're giving up after only three weeks than I think you're going to find life here more difficult than you know. [Exile? Pfft three weeks is nothing compared to four years.]

[wash_tub_woes]

I gave up early on. Every day I've been alive since then is a pleasant surprise.

[heroldman]

Why'd you give up? Life's better if you actually live it, don't you think?

[thebutz]

[...what a guy...]

...so, ignoring the fact that I have no idea what Gorgs and Fraggles are, why are you so sure you're going to catch a disease or die or whatever? It's not that bad here...

[wash_tub_woes]

Life is just full of opportunities for death contagion. That's how I'm sure.

It might not seem bad now, but you never know what danger is around the corner.

[thebutz]

I think you'll be alright, man... I've been around for over twenty years and I'm doing okay!

[he fails so hard at being encouraging]

[wash_tub_woes]

Then you've probably been lucky!

...Do you use a special good luck charm?

[This one fails so hard at not being pessimistic.]

[thebutz]

...

...

Yep. My goatee.

You should grow a goatee.
