We see the top of the Lost and Found building overhead, outside, while the heads of the characters speak over it. Echo: "Anyway... we'll get it back for ya by nightfall. Just hang tight." Regina: "Oh, bless you all!" Boone: "Thanks, but - I didn't sneeze. HEY! Why is that a thing we say after sneezin' anyway?" Echo: "....." Boone: "Do you have any idea? Echo?" Boone and Echo see Regina off, who waves at them, while Romy steels up their courage to speak up. 'Whew. Alright. If that pearl really is the same as the one I saw in my room this morning, I gotta speak up and let them know! Here goes..." She speaks up, "Er. H-hey, you guys. I think I miiiight know -" Boone is busy clearing wax out of his ear and doesn't hear her, interrupting Romy without even realizing: "AWRIGHT! Let's go, TEAM! Ready for your first day of training, kid?" Romy, petrified: 'They didn't hear me. My voice... was it too quiet?' Echo leans over to Boone. "I CAN trust you with this one, right?" Boone laughs. "Oh, Echo! Surely, you jest! You know you can always count on your good pal Booooone..." Romy, still in thought, 'I NEED to try again! But... how do I get them to notice me?" Loud music suddenly sounds from Romy's pocket as their cellphone goes off again. The spotlight is then immediately put over them, and they shyly hunch over and dip their paws into their pockets as Boone and Echo direct their attention toward them.

The 30th novelette in the epic, " – on pretending that – ", begins today—with a scene ripped (mostly) straight from Portland history!

Romy starts thinking to themselves, processing Echo's words. 'Huh? Bending reality? Er - of course! That was a joke. And you're... supposed to laugh at jokes. Oh, geez. Don't just stand there, Romy. LAUGH!' Romy then starts laughing loudly and in a very uncharacteristic way, confusing Echo. Boone's hoof then paps Romy's on the shoulder from off-screen. "Oh - by the way!" He directs Romy by the shoulders toward Regina, showing her off excitedly. "Regina, the is ROMY! She's new and she's workin' here with us now!" Regina puts her hand to her mouth and gives Romy a look of pity. "Oh my." She takes a closer look at Romy's red hoodie. "This worn, washed-out hoodie... it must be over seven or eight years old! Such an unfortunate state... you poor dear." Romy, embarrassed beyond belief, turns away, blushing and trembling in the foreground, as Boone apologies to Regina on her behalf. "Oh. Uh. You'll have to excuse Romy. She's a little shy! Anyway - about that, uhh... that thing we were talkin' about..."

The frog lady clasps her hands to her chest. "One of my pearls! It's missing! This family heirloom has been in my family for generations and -" Boone interrupts her casually. "Right, right. It's been missin' before. We'll find it again!" The frog lady's throat sac expands comedically in reaction. Romy meanwhile thinks back to when they were in their hotel room that morning. 'I'm... pretty sure I saw a pearl just like that in my hotel room this morning. Could it really belong to such an important heirloom?" Echo's voice interrupts, and Romy perks their ear attentively. "Y'know... she always loses that same pearl on her necklace. Just the one. Frequently, too." Romy: "... really?" "Mm-hm." Echo goes on, sipping her Diet O, while Romy listens with skepticism. "We've noticed the one pearl in particular is imbued with special properties. Namely, the ability to alter perceptions... by bending reality around it. The usual stuff." Two panels in the background show Boone presenting a cactus to Echo in the desert, which suddenly transforms into a tree in a forest. As Echo explains this to Romy, Boone is busy trying to calm Regina down. "Oh, heh - sorry, 'Gina! Do you really not remember though? You lost that thing, like, three days ago... it was in the trash can... the wormhole inside the trash can..."

A dinging sounds from outside the door. Boone pauses from over the table, grinning sheepishly at Echo, who stares at him, a bit irritated, while spikes from the cactus stick out of her fur. "..... err. Hold that thought." He leaps up suddenly, shocking Romy. "COMRADES! Our assistance is henceforth summoned! Let's roll!" He then rushes toward the dinging door. "Calm down, we're comin' WE'RE COMIN'! Yeesh!" Echo calls Romy to attention by softly saying their name. "Romy." She further instructs Romy as her superior, "That means you too. Go on." Romy, nervously, "O... okay..." Romy walks out with Echo following her from behind. Romy self-consciously hunches, feeling Echo's curious eyes on her. 'I can feel her eyes boring into me. Why? Why is she staring at me?' As they make their way out, Boone is leaned against the front desk, talking to a green spotted frog lady wearing a pearl necklace. He's yammering on about something. "Gee, those were good times, huh? Kinda reminds me of... oh! There was this joke I heard once, where this guy, he - .... uh, wait. What were we talkin' about again?" Romy directs their attention immediately to the pearl necklace the frog lady is wearing, which is very similar to the pearl she saw on her nightstand that morning... and there's a spot in the necklace where a pearl seems to be clearly missing. 'Wait a minute. Is that... that necklace..."

I re-read (or listened to) The Pearl by John Steinbeck this week. It's been some decades since I last read it, and this time it hit me like a punch in the guts. Powerful, musical writing. What a wonderful writer he was. #johnsteinbeck #thepearl

Echo cracks open a soda that says Diet O: Bloody Good! She, Romy and Boone are then seen sitting at a round table, playing a card game. Romy is sitting next to a silly looking cactus with a face on it. Echo, boredly: "Okay... your turn, Boone." Romy looks down at the cards in their paws and starts sweating. 'Oh, geez. I'm still not sure I understand the rules of this game. But it's kinda too late to ask for clarification. Right?" The cards include characters such as Dark Blacktus, King Cactus, Protractus and Cutetus. 'L-let's see... these numbers have gotta mean something..." Boone concentrates on the cards in his hooves. "Hmmm..." He slams down a card that says 'Smacktus' featuring a cactus with boxing gloves. "Ah-HA! An old friend appears!" Echo: "Really... ? How is it that you always end up-" Boone smacks Echo in the face with the googly-eyed cactus, while Romy dodges out of the way. "HAH! Talk backtus, get SMACKTUS!!!"

Boone makes a goofy calculated face, like he wants to make a retort, but doesn't. He slumps down on a beanbag chair. "So ANYWAY... what do you guys wanna do now? Besides sleep?" Romy looks around nervously. "Oh, um... should we be... I dunno... working?" Echo approaches her. "When there's work to do, sure." She tilts her glasses downward and makes an unintentional cool/dramatic pose. "Until then, we wait. Some days, we'll get a job do to. Other days, we won't. You'll have to get used to having a lot of downtime." Boone's eyes light up. "Oh! I KNOW! Let's play Attacktus!" Echo waves her hand, amused. "Ooooooor we could play a game that's ACTUALLY fun. Less frivolous, like -" Boone smooshes his snout against hers. "Oh, we're playing it. And this 34 time champion is gonna kick your tail at it, too!"

There's a pause as Boone and Romy enter the room, to a sleepy Echo hanging upside down from a pipe. She squints her eyes open. "Y'know, there are better ways of interrupting a bat nap." She grins a bit sardonically. "My personal favorite: Don't." She then yawns, as Romy waves up at her, and Boone looks between the two of them in shock. "But hey. Fancy seeing you here, New Girl. I forgot to introduce myself last night. Just call me Echo. Guess I'll be seeing you around more often." Boone gets dramatically teary-eyed. "Hold up! HOLD UP! You mean you guys've already met? And you didn't even TELL ME?!" He gives Romy a rough noogie on the head while Echo smirks from across the room. "Uh! Well... ! Guess what? Me 'n Romy are super close too! Best buddies, in fact! Isn't that right, kiddo?" Echo: "Mm-hm. Not sure I believe that, but okay."
