In Darkness - Network

[ Dave and Balthazar sound like themselves. Dave also sounds like Hiccup. The woman does not sound like anyone. ]

Woman Hey!
Balthazar I'm sorry. I thought you were someone else.
Dave Where's Horvath? Did he get away? Where's the Grimhold? Who was that? That was her, wasn't it? The third apprentice?

Balthazar For centuries, Veronica, Horvath and I were the only thing standing between Morgana and mass destruction. Our friendship, and our magic, were what Veronica and I depended on.
Dave You fell for her, didn't you?
Balthazar I fell for her. Like you, all Veronica wanted was to be normal. Normal things, normal life. I fell... and so did Horvath. That's why Horvath betrayed us.
Dave For a thousand years... you've been carrying her around with you in the Grimhold.

[Sounds of a thin chain clanging together, as though being run through someone's fingers]

Balthazar I was going to give this to her that night.
Dave I'm sorry.

Okay, Creeper McCreeperson: I was willing to pretend like you didn't exist so long as I didn't have to hear my voice broadcast over this computer talking about... about magic or something. Who even are you?!

This is so not cool. How... how does this even happen? I don't know you! It's not like we're... we're long lost... cousins or... or brothers or something!

Is it?

I thought some of you who have not yet turned on your televisions yet today might be int'rested t'know, there are nekkid people on TV today. Very nekkid people, doin' very int'restin' things.

Doth this box normally display so much in the way of human mating?

So ... who killed the TV in the lobby?

If you're still willing to teach me, I'd still like to learn how to make the potion.

And if you want to talk about ... anything you might have ... seen, or heard ... that I might have seen, or heard ... I would be willing to listen.

Oh my god my parents are having sex on the telly!

What the hell is wrong with this place?!

They kidnapped me to traumatize me!?

Did, uh, anyone else wake up to find themselves in a different room today? Cause I went to sleep in 406 last night, and ... I'm in 413 today. And 406 seems to be... taken. At least, my keys don't work. And it's not like it and... anyway.

EDIT: Dude! Free porn! When did this happen?! :D

(( For reference sake, this isn't a new plot; Barney switched rooms because he hasn't been in play for the last two months. Not that he knows that =P ))
