[ Maintenance Operation #4 ]

[squeakyslate]

Dear, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. Look at the right and proper mess of it!

[ And a right and proper mess it is! A table with three odd legs on both sides of it, slanting wooden stairs leading nowhere at all, a birdhouse all crooked nails and no door, and a door with its handle wobbling uselessly at its center.

And in the middle there's Bill, looking worse for wear than ever before. ]

Want to tear it right down and start all over, I sure does, but how's a fella gonna keep it all straight in his head? Been thinkin' I'd do something nice for meself, and there it went! Don't matter how often I tries, it don't look right, don't look right at all. Can't be happy with it, don't matter how hard I goes at it. How's it look when it looks right? Been so long, can't even remember quite. Right and proper mess, ye hear that?

[ Listlessly lowering his lizardly head Bill crawls up and into his toolbox, and slowly out of sight. ]

Makes ol' Bill wish he weren't his own self at all...

[ Now look, Bill was gonna wallow in his toolbox a bit, but that's an important sort of question, innit? His head peers out into the light. ]

With me mouth.

[Lilly tends to ignore most videos when they pop up. Not being able to follow conversation easily coupled with lack of patience at listening to people she doesn't know talk about things she doesn't care about equals her rarely replying to something unless certain key words are used.

Or, in this instance, the one doing the speaking manages to catch her eye simply by being what he is.

So cue a gasp of childish delight and bright smile as Lilly all but presses her nose against her screen to get a better glimpse of Bill.]

'izard!
