• Eshli has found a baseball, and tosses it up and down.
• Kraggi and Grim chat.
• Sage awakes from his nap, and heads for the bakery, in search of something for breakfast.

• Kraggi explains that (a) she is not actually a woman, and (b) Eric is not getting into her shirt, on pain of being squashed.
• A shrunken Kirk appears, and perches himself on Kraggi's other shoulder. He introduces himself, and leers at Kraggi's... endowments. This earns him a flicking off of said shoulder.

• HammerQueen makes an appearance, watching the situation with Eric and HomerNet.
• Sanchay pops up and greets HQ, introducing herself.

• Sqauto goes to the pub, in order to interview Homer (Note: it says "Helen" - this may be confusion on Squato's part) for a job.
• James tells Eric that he needs a job. He asks Eric if he knows how to mix drinks, and on being told "No", uses his powers to give him the required knowledge and skills. He then commands Eric to go to the pub and get a job there.

Page 30

Town Square

• Lomgren finds a shop that looks exactly right for him.

Deathmanse

• Ann is puzzled that the new Ann is so embarrassed, after Helen took that photo of her and Homer in the same bed.

• Ann makes a bid to outdo Lomgren in the blushing stakes, and then suggests they get some food, in order to get away from the awkward moment.

• Ann makes a deal with Ann(2), the details of which are not yet revealed.
• Lomgren asks f-GoKF about the permanent full moon over the Deathmanse. She says that it came with the House, along with the skeletons in the closets. Yes, real ones. One of the previous Officeholders though it was funny.

• Lomgren is a bit confused by the tension between Ann and f-GoKF, but greets Rose and shakes her handpaw.
• Scribble (still nekkid) enters the pub. He is not noticed by the group, due to their table being too far from the entrance.

Homer's Place

• Homer wakes up in her bed, with no memory of how she got there. And no sign of her clothes...

Page 36

Pub

• Sqauto points to the sign stating that all customers must wear clothing. He then informs Sage that they do indeed serve Martinis, and asks him how he wants his.

• Lomgren is confused by the mention of "sharing", then gets it, and blushes.

• Rose takes a bite of her first food in years, and savours it.
• Rose finishes her sandwich, and tells Ann to tell it straight out, as they are all adults.

• Ann starts to explain to GoKF: if their heats synchronise, they would be at each other's throats, and neither one wants that.
