 [Jack appears on camera looking annoyed and cranky]

I was going to come on here and offer everyone tickets to my new show and now I'm fighting with my coffee pot I haven't had coffee in hours and dammit I need it. 

Not to mention I hate anything with lemon in it. Ugh.

Its a bad day for you then. Did the tickets turn into sherbets too?

[captainspain]

I haven't tried picking them up yet...I'm assuming yes they will which double ugh.

[serpentinthegarden]

That's going to be fun when you are on stage too... Go to pick up a prop and its ice cream. Hope your new play is a comedy.

[captainspain]

Not exactly no....crap I didn't even think about that...we are supposed to do previews starting this weekend.

[serpentinthegarden]

Sounds like it's going to be a fun show.

Are you going to try to hide it?

[captainspain]

I'll say I'm supposed to do wire work.

I have to...my understudy broke his ankle....and the swings aren't ready yet.

[serpentinthegarden]

Ooo...

[ He almost winced. ]

Bad time for that. You don't have an under-understudy to take over?

[captainspain]

Not yet....my swing got a bit spooked by the wire work and my new one is still training on it.

God just when I was getting used to all this.

[serpentinthegarden]

Maybe... it won't last too long? I think we would have heard if outbreaks of sherbet were a common thing in New York...

Whats the new show anyway?

[captainspain]

One can hope right? At least I can. Odessyus Journey based on Homer. 

[inquiryguqin]

You're having a show? I didn't realize it. I would have gone if I knew.

Do you have any idea why the lemon sherbets though?

[captainspain]

It's not open yet, previews start this weekend but I figured everyone would like a peek.

None....no more portals opened before this started happening did they?

[inquiryguqin]

Oh. [Looks relieved] Then I didn't miss anything, have I?

Not that I know of. I called the bureau several times and nobody picks it up.

It's kind of suspicious.

[captainspain]

No of course not.

That doesn't surprise me much...maybe their scientists are up to something.

I agree it is.

[inquiryguqin]

What the show is about?

They don't answer the phone, so I guess they're working on it and didn't want to be bothered.

[captainspain]

It's a musical version of the Odyssey...have you heard of it?

Or they know and are ignoring us.

[inquiryguqin]

No, I haven't heard of it before.

The Odyssey. Is the musical based on the Greek epic by Homer?

[captainspain]

Yes..I play Hermes along with a smaller role towards the end.

I was thinking that some of the other Eventers might like to see it.

[inquiryguqin]

Hermes, one of the Greek Gods. He meets up with Odysseus in disguise to help him to defeat the witch Circe.

I'll go see it. I have seen the various adaptions of the epic, but a musical would be an interesting show.

[captainspain]

God of thieves and travelers is one of my favorite gods.

It has been fun....provided the wire work doesn't go haywire this weekend with the whole....sherbert thing.

[inquiryguqin]

I come over this weekend.

Just tell me the time.

[captainspain]

Great I'll leave the tickets at will call for you and a plus one.

Curtain goes up at 7:30.

[inquiryguqin]

7:30? I'll be there...and thanks.

Good luck on the show. I bet it will be a great performance.

[captainspain]

You're welcome...and thank you.

[temptationaccomplished]

Oh, come on. Don't be so sour about it. When life gives you lemon sherbets, make...lemonade?

Terribly sorry about your coffee situation though.

[captainspain]

You are very lucky you are charming Mr. Fell or I would groan at those puns.
