A couple of Seiko's recent encounters are on record (chapters 40 & 53, as they have provided an alibi for her strange blond friend. (She also told Brad about another time, but asked to keep it off the record.)

I'm going to share something with you guys. Here is a picture of my two newest pets. They are Noah and Ethan, two-week-old rats. There were eight in the litter, but six died in the first three days. That's part of the reason I waited until now to share. (Also because rats are born bald, featureless, and rather ugly. ;-) )

DAJB: As long as they don't discover the red phone behind the fireplace, his identity is safe. XD

Tantz: Or doesn't answer honestly.

Peipei: He might not want to leave his place in the woods. He's been there for a long time.

amanda: If it came down to looks, Raidon wouldn't stand much of a chance. (Part of his creep factor is that he can cover it up well.) I was thinking more along the lines of "dueling banjos" while they try to one-up each other. ("I walk around in public my underwear and proposition young ladies." – "I tried to marry a teenage girl.")

LanceDanger: Actually, the WV Science Teacher Conference has been declining for years. Every year seems to get worse. :-/ We have been winning more door prizes as attendance drops, though.

patoborracho: It is. ^_^ I've always liked that picture of Seiko.

argonsassistant: Indeed.

patrickdevine: Nah, Seiko is fully aware of the miscreants she has taken up with (at least Mike and Fudo – Kaida is iffy). She's "playing dumb" at this point. (I know it's hard to tell with her. It's supposed to be. ~_^ )

ghostrunner: I'll send a patrol car to pick you up.
