Wudlig of Bannerhouse Combecatte snorts as he looks over. Gerd's boyfriend is an ugly little squint of a nocker, though his mask is pretty boss, "Yeah I could littler this place with secret passages or even maybe a secret room...or install stuff small that's never noticed save by the most keen sensed slaughs"

"Um. I'm.. I guess I'll let you know about those. I don't THINK we need any passageways... and the only thing I'd hide is maybe my lunch."

"She needs electric work.. not your fancy dancy 'oo let's build a dungeon maze no one knows about' stuff" The other nocker, who insists on being called CoilQueen 17, is already taking a look at the wiring and such

"See, the problem I ran into was that I found a wiring diagram, but the equipment we had donated is older, and then some of the stuff I had to buy, and I couldn't find an.. PG-72 copper coil to Double-Twisted-K converter??"

"Huh.. she's not dim for a not nocker"

"I don't understand why it's so difficult to just hook the speaker to the sound system, you know?"

"Well the reason..." "Don't forget the... " "Yes, of course I was getting to that..." The two start to explain, then begin to talk at each other instead

CoilQueen may take that back when she finds that the AV-12 cable is plugged into an VID-42 slot. They're the same color...

"OH SWEET JESUS's CRUCIFIX in a thunderstorm, what unholy mess is this?!"

"SHe didn't!"

"She did!"

Both nockers look at the satyress and say "Go. Don't come back for four hours" "Five. " Yeah, five"

It's like she spit on Tesla's grave

Piper looks about to protest, but then thinks better of it and scampers!

She scampers and the "REAL WORK" (Nocker view) begins
