*Ebo crawls out from under the rug.*

Well, ok...but who in the hell is Patty Duke?

-----------------------------------

Four out of five gynecologists recommend calling Ebo a girl.

* The Real Me sighs, and adopts a lecturing tone. *

In days of yore, before they put color into the television, there was a show on called "The Patty Duke Show". It featured a talented young woman named... Patty Duke.

She was cute.

She was talented.

She could dance, I think.

The premise of the show was that a pair of identical twin brothers had separated.

One brother moved to England, where he married an English woman and had a daughter. They travelled all over the world, met kings and queens and ambassadors and all sorts of other important people. You know, the sort of people that James Bond would hang out with.

The second brother stayed put in a big city (New York?). He also married, and also had a daughter. They had a rather ordinary life.

Now, the true hilarity of the show comes when the English girl comes to visit her American uncle's family for an extended period of time (so long, in fact, that I would have informed immigration authorities).

It so happened that the two girls looked exactly the same! So similar, in fact, that Patty Duke played both roles. Ground-breaking special effects in its day, I assure you!

So, the funny part (you were waiting for that, right?) was that the two LOOKED exactly alike, but their personalities were entirely different. The English twin cousin (with an English accent, even) acted like a cultured lady, and the American twin cousin was something of an ordinary girl, and perhaps a tomboy. Of course, when their friends mistook the one for the other, as happened every episode...

* The Real Me stops when he realizes that EVERYONE in the Treehouse is fast asleep. The Real Me shrugs and goes off to fix himself a bowl of that special ice cream. *

I hate when I get stuck in the real world. It's like the harder I struggled to get back to the tree house the harder it was to get back in. Looks like I missed all the fun and excitement too. :( That's it from here on in I am tethering myself to ... umm to the front door (although it appears the front door has been ripped from it's hinges)or to a post or something so that I will never be lost to reality again ! <> gosh, its so good to be home.

*Yawn*

Morning y'all! (in texan accent like Sandy from Spongebob Squarepants)

Well...someone managed to pour that yuck stuff down my throat last night...and although I didn't wake up right away this moring I woke up not only feeling fine...but even more fnatastic then I've felt in weeks! Thanks TWG. Oh, and SW? Sorry about your arm.

Sorry I was such a pain with the collapsing and all! And whoever fed my cat, thank you!

Ack! Ebo? Why are you cleaning? You never clean!? Oh my god! EBO! Don't move. You've got a penii on your crotch!

Well...it's odd...I really do feel much stronger. I think it's IT's (no pun intended) blood...powerful stuff.

Hmm...I'm gonna try out some of my powers...see if their any better...

*Goes over to the door-no sorry, that's just a hole in the wall...

Then stops halfway and notices that Ebo is now hiding ubder the rug.*

Ebo, what are you-

*Notices other Ebo still cleaning*

What the...?

Oh, the effigy?! It's alive? Hmm...cool.

Ebo, -Sorry, the real Ebo, not you- what's up? Why are you hiding...

*Ebo explains to PR*

Oh I see.

Maybe I can help.

*PR goes over to the door, and steps out onto the balcony, and looks down at the pool table on the grass.*

Hmm...oh well, here goes!

*PR extends his arms over the edge of the balcony, palms down facing the pool table, and PR closes his eyes. PR Concentrates. The table begins to rattle, and shake ... then suddenly the table lifts off the ground and begins to rise up, up... and up into the air until its level with PR, who smiles at his work, and getting a bit cocky, makes the table rotate, mid-air...(meanwhile Zoid is walking out of the bar downstairs and right unferneath the table) PR loses his balance and trips, and thus loses his concentration and the table drops...*

Nooooo!

*PR throws his hand obver the table as it falls and it stops, above Zoid, and the number 8 ball rolls out and hits Zoid on the head, who looks up in pain, and anger.*

Oops, sorry Zoid!

*The table rise up again, and PR concentrates hard and the table moves horizontally, into the treehouse through the hole in the wall and slowly sets it down on the floor, in its normal place.*

There ya go Ebo. Fantastic! I can't believe it, my telekinesis is way more powerful now.

*PR thinks and smiles.*

Oh my gosh!

*Closes his eyes and concentrates and begins to levitate...*

I CAN FLY!!! Wow, I can't believe how cool this is? Anyone else wanna fly? Just gimme the nod...it's perfectly safe....I promise...

Well...we really do need to re-organise this tree-house...my new and improved telekinesis should help us out there! So, Ebo - what do we do now?

By the way everyone, thanks for your help, and TWG you did great in making friends with IT, and TRM you wer fantastic. Thank you all for looking after me.

Quite correct, Mai. However, it ALSO always tastes like whatever flavor is your favorite at the time you eat it.

* The Real Me seems to be a bit puzzled as he scoops out some more. *

Also, apparently it never melts.

For the entire story of the Effigy of Ebo, how I liberated this ice cream from the purple dimension, and how we dealt with an eldrich horror that objected to said liberation, go back in this thread and start reading from about January 1. Uh, reserve a sizable block of time.


PsychicRiver! I am glad to see you awake and well. My, but your powers are impressive, now. Is this due to the blood of IT flowing through your veins?

Say, is your skin acquiring a purple tinge to it?

Um, no...not yet anyways. Is that a possibly side effect?

Um...gotaa say...being in TWG's head was strange...but I did discover some of here deepest darkets secrets! And yes, she IS weird.

Also yeah I'm guessing the power boost id due to IT's blood...I hope it lasts...this could be really useful...and flying is so fun, I telekinetically lift myself, its so much fun!

I always thought that to fly you just didn't fall. It worked that one time...

Like I said it's so good to be back. Fortunately, I have a lot of down time at work to catch up on the past. I am still a little confused about the whole IT monster thing and how that all came about. Everything seems to be getting back in order (well as much as it was before anyway). I for one think the destruction was a good thing, now we get to re-decorate the entire tree house. Just let me know if you need any help with the clean up. Like I said I have LOTS of time (7 hours and 57 minutes) to waste. I'm thinking we should add on a twisty tornado slide that lands in the pool. We do have a pool right?
