Erika! Erika! Over here! Over here!
Oh, my God! Hey!
Come and join us!
Sure! Let me just get my lunch. Save a space?
Yeah, alright.

Hey.
Oh my God, you look amazing. Are they new?
These? No... they’re mums. She gave them to me.
Oh cute.
What are they?
Seahorses.
Oh... I thought they were ammonites.
If you squint, perhaps.
So... what've I missed?
Not much. Sparky and Charm just graduated.
No way?! Congrats!
Thanks. Took me long enough. Three years!
That's pretty standard.
In Scotland, it's four.
Four?!
Ha. Then Paulina just got back from Japan.
Wow. How was it?
It was just so beautiful. Had a... very... lovely time. Sorry... jetlag.
Oh, no worries. Glad you had a lovely time.
And I am just chugging away with writing my new Fringe Show. I've called it Much A Do About Sommit or Other. Bit of Shakespeare and a whole load of queer.
So... a traditional Shakespeare play, then.
Ha. Yeah!
How about you, Erika? What's new with you?
Umm... not a lot really. Just ... you know... chugging along. Same old... Oh, I did start a new job, actually.
Yeah?
I work at the zoo now. Admin stuff mostly. But sometimes I get put in the Red Panda Suit, if it's busy.
Oooh. That's so sweet.
I bet you look adorable as a Red Panda.
So I've been told. Ha! Oh, and ... um ... I ... um... kind of ... met someone.
Oh My God!
No way!
Tell us all about them.
In time. In time. I wanna hear more about the graduation and Japan first.
Ugh! Fine! Ha! But this isn't over, Missie.
Ha ha. Fair enough. So... Charm, Sparky, tell me all about it.
