||||||||| Catherwood steals into the room, and snorts derisively "Announcing 'Merlyn', also known as 'Nancy' -- the time is 3:55 PM" -- then he slowly retires back into the sitting room...
Merlyn: Don't go on strike again, Catherwood...
||||||||| Catherwood strides up to Merlyn and queries "Someone mention my name?"
||||||||| Merlyn says "Catherwood, call me a cab." After the obvious joke, Merlyn exits at 3:55 PM.
||||||||| Catherwood accompanies Karl Henning into the room, accepts a jar of pennies as a gratuity, grumbles something about 4:39 PM, then departs.

||||||||| Catherwood trudges in at 8:16 PM, dragging DJTweeny by one leg and asks "Can anyone vouch for this idiot?"

||||||||| Better luck next time! And now, back to our chatroom, which is already in progress...
||||||||| Gusts of wind blow in from outside and the thumpa-thumpa-thumpa of helicopter blades is heard as Happy Panditt's chopper lands on the lawn and DJTweeny disembarks at 8:40 PM.
||||||||| Catherwood accompanies flatdaniels inside, makes a note of the time (8:40 PM), then fades off into the distance going on about the waiting room or the sitting room or something.

Merlyn: I think it's possible for a message to be dropped if it tries to add messages from two people at the exact same time
DJTweeny: no big, working fine now
DJTweeny: test
Merlyn: It's always been like that, I think. Not easy to fix or debug and doesn't happen often enough to really worry about
