Episode 18: The Secret of Korda Goldmaster - Part 2

General Summary

Gundar Ex-Wife Hedron Chat

Ex-Wife 1: So, you'll never guess who I found crawling outside my bedroom tonight. Gundar and his little friends. I knew it was him immediately, and I felt nothing...

Okay, that's not true. He curled up into a little quivering ball when he felt me, and that was satisfying, but I'd feel that way about anyone.

Ex-Wife 7: Good for you, girl. If they snatched any of your panties, just let me know and I'll return them for you.

Ex-wife 1: It was good, and I told him so too—right to his face.

Funny thing, he said that was good too, beaming about spiritual enlightenment or some other zappy crap.

Ex-Wife 4: No shit. He used that line on me last time I had him in my bedchamber.

Thought I was gonna cruise his third leg into the night. He had me doing meditation and breathing.

Thought it was for some new tantric experience—just helped me deal with my ongoing disappointment in him.

Ex-Wife 1: You might not need to be so disappointed. His crew seems solid enough that I brought ’em in for a chat.

Decided to cut a deal—might be useful to have on call later.

Also just wanted to make it clear to Gundar he no longer has any hold over me.

Ex-Wife 8: Gundar doesn't know the first thing about being solid. You don't need his soft, quivering flesh anymore.

Ex-Wife 1: Oh yeah, I let him have it. Told him about cutting him out of my life, literally, and that little girl too.

Should’ve seen his eyes when I told him about the Lost Child at the end of the line on the Clockwork Road.

He was always too soft.

Ex-Wife 8: Mm-hmm.

Ex-Wife 9: Thankfully, there are more men in the world than our flighty ex.

Ex-Wife 1: Women too. That elf in his crew seems pretty fun. Wants to join the chat, but hasn’t banged on the door, if you know what I mean.

Ex-Wife 2: OOoooo… new blood would be nice...

Ex-Wife 3: No. I’m going to stop that thought right there.

And what is this about Gundar nicking knickers?

Ex-Wife 1: Ugh. I let them all leave with GIFTS and a stern warning.

They might need some new work now though.

Ex-Wife 4: I might have something a little naughty I need them to, uh, untangle for me.

I’ll hit their hex. Might need to talk to Raithara though—official BBB business and all.

Ex-Wife 6: Talking about someone who wants to join the chat…

Ex-Wife 4: Oh, she’s not in it for the chat, honey.

Ex-Wife 9: Where would you need to send them on official business? Didn’t think that was a problem for you?

Ex-Wife 4: Well, even I have trouble sailing to the Abyss...

Ex-Wife 8: Hehe, I can’t wait to hear about this.
