Waffles Vs. Pancakes Reader Discussion “We sort of took over their book…”           —Leela

Vera: That’s what happens when you play with people’s minds, Lee.


Stark: Yeah, but it can be undone.


Vera: I’m not a toy to be called upon for fun when you all need a memory alteration.


Stark: I was referring to Stas.


Vera: Oh, well, yes, that is entirely different.


Ezekiel: Can we get a move on that sooner rather than later? Because this whole game of interfering has really lost its allure.


Stark: Her twenty-fifth birthday is fast approaching. Almost time.


Leela: And then what?


Stark: That’s up to Stas.


Vera: I’m out. Tap me if you need me.


Leela: We should give them their book back now.


Stark: Agreed.

B: And once again, you all see why pancakes are better than waffles.


Luc: I’m picking the location for the next round.


B: Won’t change the outcome.


Luc: Yeah? Belgium would disagree with you.


B: Oh, that sounds like a challenge I would enjoy.


Alik: No.


Jay: You’ll need a new wingman, B.


B: True. I need to groom someone.


Alik: Yeah, go ahead and take a decade to work on that. Or better yet, a century.


B: Well, at least a few months. I have some parties to plan, starting with Jay and Lizzie’s engagement party. Which reminds me, we missed an important October holiday.


Luc: You thinking what I’m thinking, B?


B: Halloween-themed engagement party?


Luc: It’s like you pulled the idea from my thoughts, B.


B: Imagine that.


Issac: I’d rather not.


Jay: I should probably ask Lizzie about this first.


B: Already in the works, Jay. Trust me.


Luc: Always.


Alik: You realize Osiris is a major player right now, yes? Jonathan? That Stark guy? Any of this matter to you all?


B: Of course, but we’re not going to stop living because there are a few threats lying around. Right, Luc?


Luc: Yes, these events are important for morale and bonding. It’s what makes us stronger.


B: Exactly. All right, party time. Flip the page.
