[Well, someone isn't happy now that he's back to normal and away from the effects mint has on him. To say he was embarrassed would be putting it lightly; Benson was out and out ashamed. And he dealt with shame the way he dealt with everything else: by being angry as hell and trying to bottle it up.

Either way? He owed some apologies to people.]

[Phone]

...Look. I know that there were a few people I might've been...uncouth towards, a few days ago. Okay. I guess that's putting it lightly. I was acting like an asshole. And I'm sorry. That's not what I'm usually like. It really, really isn't, and I don't know what came over me. It won't happen again.

[Phone - Filtered to Mordecai]

Yeah, hi.

Let's pretend Valentine's Day didn't happen, alright?

[Action - Outside 507 Ricardo Street]

[If you're going by Ricardo Street today, feel free to notice the man who lives at 507 removing every single potted plant he could find in the house, hell, everything that could conceivably be called vegetable matter, and placing it on the sidewalk. Watch in amazement as he takes out a lighter and proceeds to try and get the plants to catch flame, running back a bit when the fire actually gets started.

He's just going to wait, and watch, as every plant that had previously been in his house burns.]

Might as well, especially if it helps make up for Valentine's Day.

Not that you need to make up for amusing me or anything, but I wouldn't say no to non-toxic milk. My 'family' could probably use it.

God knows that's what I set out to do.

Yeah? You have all drones in your house, or are there actual people?

All actual people. Sometimes I wonder a bit about Kyon, but I don't think a drone could be that disgruntled about everything.

Iiiii can guarantee for you they're not. Drones are disgustingly well adjusted. All the time.

I haven't run into one yet, I guess I should count myself lucky.

What about you? What happy family have you been lumbered with?

An unbearable one. At the moment, it's all drones. I'm the only actual person here.

Wow. It must be pretty tough staying sane in that house.

I try not to stay there as long as I can. I've made a kind of spare bedroom in the garage. I'm usually able to keep them out.

Don't they comes knocking asking you to, I don't know, play kite or eat their delicious pie?

God. More often than you know.

I tried going out the garage door itself one night, just to find one of them standing there. Just. Standing there. Waiting for me to say good morning.

...That's really disturbing. Maybe you could...put lampshades on their heads or something. Make the staring a little less worrying.

I've thought about it, but I'm pretty sure they're smart enough to just take the lampshades off. ...Maybe I could just leave earlier, I dunno. I mean, they have to sleep SOME, right?

...Unless they don't sleep at all.

Wow. Thanks.

Now I'm probably going to end up staying up all night trying to find out.

[Cheerfully] You're welcome!

Remember to carry a baseball bat around, just in case they get antsy about you watching them not-sleep.

Eh, I have a tire iron, so I should be okay.

What's a tire iron? [What's a TIRE?!]

You know. A tire iron. Big metal bar you use to change a flat tire?

...No.

What is a tire? And if it isn't supposed to be flat, what shape is it supposed to be?

...You know. A tire. Big, round, made out of rubber. There the things on the bottom of cars.

This is probably a bad time to mention my world runs on magic and all the technology stuff around here hardly exists at all, isn't it?

...Eh. I'm sure I'll hear worse.

You guys have like, carts at least right? Tires are like really big wheels.

Yes, we have carts. [Long pause] I see. So I assume these 'cars' are pulled by very large horses?

Kind of. They have mechanical engines measured in "horse power". Think of it like they're pulled by a very large, very abstract team of horses.
