Poor Xugan had a lot of abuse! Scathing remarks? He pushed past them determined to prove a point but then the hatch was all too familiar to him. It reminded him of a hatch from a Kevletlings (Infant Kets) story. Why, did he get this crazy idea that the system had somehow tapped into his subconscious to reproduce it? Here. Now?! He looked at them, growled for them to be quiet. “Watch this.“
The hatch, a plain simple looking hatch? Shimmered with a soft light across it. Their jaws fell open in total surprise. Where the hatch, if it had been one, had been, was now something quite different in form. It had morphed into the shape of a face.(Think Cabbage Patch kid) Its huge eyes, looking at them and then at Xugan. “Ooh” Squeals Ameryst. ‘That is ugly.“
The face morphed some more, a scowl? It’s eyes shifted to Ameryst. “UGLY. You calling me UGLY?! You looked in the glass (mirror) recently? Woohoo you sure are UGLY.“ Xugan howled. “Can we please stop being Ketlevlings. (Childish) They went quiet! Xugan smiled, looked at the face in front of him that had morphed to somewhat more of a pleasant disposition. “Whaddya want?” (Spoken as we would know it, in a North Georgia USA accent lol.)
“Can we come in.?“ “Come in where?“ “There.“ “Oh, so you don’t mean in here then.“ It paused. “That’s a relief, I thought you might be wanting to come in here, judging by you lot, how many there are of you. It would be too overcrowded for my liking. But I can’t understand you when you say, you are wanting to be. ‘In there.’ You’re already there.“ It scrunched its nose, Delise fidgeted, it was something that she did and the others often remarked on. Anora couldn’t resist the temptation to pass comment.
“OO, look Delise. Just like you.“ “No way. Don’t!“ “Do.“ “Do not.“ “Do so.“ The face had morphed, into a grin. It was obviously, enjoying the outrages from the Kets. “Well I definitely think, you ought to remain out there, far too much noise.” It’s eyes moved to glance to the side where Xugan was stood. Almost certainly looking and talking to him.“ They always like this? ..and they’re rude too.“ It stopped as Ameryst moved in close to make some caustic remark?
“We want to be in THERE.“ “But you are already. ‘In THERE’.“ Ameryst hissed at it, once again she was rude! Though she was funny with it. The others were laughing! Annoyed? Frustrated? Xugan stamped his foot for Anora to comment that it was just like Becci. More laughter. “This is getting us nowhere!“ They were interrupted as the face morphed again this time the nose was very prominent.
“COULD one of yous, rub the top of my nose. Only its itching and I can’t think if my nose is itching!“ Becci stepped forward rubbed it. “Ooh that’s so much better, now where were we." It grinned. “Ah yes, you’re in there and I’m in here.“ “Well can we come in.“ it looked at Becci. “Where? HERE or THERE?“ It rolled its eyes again. Becci, it seemed was thinking. Tick tick tick.. ah yes. The face ignored her.
“HERE, THERE, makes no difference to me. But make your minds up! I havent’ got all day to be here, in idle conversation with you noisy lot! From what you have said, you want to be ‘In there. What’s that got to do with ‘In here?” “We’ve changed our minds, we’d like to be in..“ Becci was about to say ‘There’ when she rolled her eyes stamped her feet out of habit. There was some giggling from Delise, stood almost directly behind her.
"Here, if its at all possible.“ It scrunched it’s nose again. “Are you naturally stupid you lot or do you have to work at it?! I'm in HERE so yes of course DUH! Its possible! Perhaps we ought to recap on the situation. So where are you at the moment?" Its eyes stopped moving, fixed on them all?” Bjoi was annoyed, He decided to vent his opinion! “You calling us stupid?! We’re here, DUH! Now who's stupid?!" The others glared at him, not believing what had just happened! “EXACTLY. so there you have it, now go away and stop wasting my time!“ The face vanished. Howls from them?! “Bjoi!“ Angry voices squealed his name at the same time. Xugan once again told them to be quiet.
He moved forward and tapped on the hatch, waited. The shimmer of light and the surface morphing again? There were some sighs of relief. The face reappeared? “OH its you lot again! Almost forgot where I was for a moment. Trying to give me a headache or what! Whaddya want this time. I'm no magic genie you know, grant three wishes and all that rubbish." “Look we are HERE you are THERE and we.“ Xugan tried to remain composed. “Would like to be where you are? In there! “But I’m in HERE, so you can't be in there, if I am in here cos you're already, 'in there'! There were howls from them! Anora moved past them, to stand in front of the hatch, its eyes fixed on her as she rubbed its nose. “You said you were in here? We would really like to be ‘In here’“ It smiled, enjoying the attention Anora was giving it?
“If that’s ok with you of course." "Hmm in here. Let me think about it. OK, Thought about it. NO!" Illia moved forward shoving Kets aside including Anora.“ Look you stupid whatever you are. Let us in.“ He scowled adding louder in voice “HERE, there, wherever! OR I promise you it won’t be your nose getting stroked, you'll be getting this instead." He raised his fist. The face had morphed again, this time it was NOT a pleasant looking one. Very VERY demonic expression! “Now you’ve done it.“ Hissed Xugan.
