Winc:::nodding:: As it would be if you topped me while I was more in yang space.
Scratch:So, forget your actual gender, you’re saying you are more inclined to the yin?
Winc:Yes, and you to the yang.
Scratch:But I don’t want to be trapped in that either!
Winc:You can’t solve everything all at once.
Scratch:Frankly, the first time I thought of your boyspace I wanted to top that. And now I don’t want to always have to top everything, like some rutting dog pissing on every tree.
Winc:::shiver:: Some of us *really* like that!
Scratch:::shaking head:: I know. I’ve discovered that.
Scratch:OK, we leave together on the count of three… One

NARRATIVE ENTRY, JABBATHEHUT
The little hippie chick is still off on her mission. Another interoffice memo flashes:
To:FBCS Investigations
From:Undersec’y LaBouchere
Subj:Profiles
We got a note that you’ve received several profiles. This is wonderful news! Please begin procedures to apprehend the perpetrators in connection with fraudulent misuse of Internet service. If we move swiftly and publicly, we can make an example of them, and the govt and the FBI liaison can go back to their real jobs.
Good work; that was fast!
