    "How much is this one?" the orc wondered.

    "For you," Lizzarik said, "I could shave a few silver off. And I'll offer you a good trade on that sword you're carrying there."

    "Well, I..." The orc paused as the ground rumbled.

    Jorb panicked, but Lizzarik just waited for the quake to subside. And waited. In the distance, the land split open, and a single hand emerged.

    "It's Deathwing!" the orc screamed.

    "Again?" Lizzarik muttered. "Wait, no, it's just a giant murloc." The distant figure staggered away. "So, buddy, want to buy this?"

    "The human body is a beautiful thing."

    "But the store opens in fifteen minutes," Sam said.

    "Yeah, I don't think I'm coming in today."

    "You are in," Sam told him. "This is the Work Bench."

    Sock's eyes widened as he looked around. "How did I get here? And where did I get this?" He sniffed at the mug. "That ain't coffee. Sam, does this smell more like an 'induce vomiting' poison, or a 'don't induce vomiting' poison?"

    "We've been doing lots of these precautionary scans," Peter assured him.

    "However," Egon warned, "some spectral phenomena won't register while dormant."

    "Still wiser to call us, though," Peter added quickly. "Say, you didn't mention what this new exhibit is."

    "Victorian erotica, photographs mostly."

    "Really?" Peter asked, grinning.

    "Peter," Egon said, "any women depicted would be roughly the same age as your great grandmother."

    Peter shuddered. "Egon, remind me again why we're friends."

    Rorschach watched the four figures descend from the rooftops to the alleyway, then down a manhole. Whatever they are, he thought, they don't move like men. He followed them down.

    Fifteen minutes later, he staggered back up and lay panting in the alley.

    In the end, I decided to let them live. Going soft? Hope not. There's a secret, never told anybody.

    He laughed, coughing up blood.

    I like turtles.

    "Slitheen? No! No! She was a Time Lord, like me! Well, Time Lady."

    Rani smiled proudly.

    "Nasty piece of work, she was, too," the Doctor added. Clyde laughed, while Rani scowled.

    The Doctor put his hands on her shoulders. "You don't have an antique pocket watch, do you? Gold case? Elaborately etched?"

    "No," she stammered.

    "Good!" He spun around and continued running.

    "But my mum does," she whispered.

    "Doctor," one of the orcs said, "C'Thun is dead. We've killed him. Why do you yell at him now?"

    "He's an evil from the dawn of time. You won't catch me talking to one like that while he's still alive."

    "You're good."

    "Thanks. It's not the disdain of others in your profession. I'm guessing a past tragedy, something that made you feel apart from the rest of humanity."

    "All correct except two things. First, I'm not that kind of doctor. Second," the Doctor said, turning to face Jane, "why do you assume I'm human?"

    Rembrandt pointed across the street. "How about seafood?"

    * * *

    While the others studied their menus, Rembrandt declared, "I already know what I want. This place makes the best shrimp cocktail."

    "I don't see that listed," Quinn said.

    "Me either," Wade added.

    Rembrandt searched the menu frantically, then called to a waiter. "Excuse me, when did you stop serving shrimp?"

    "Stop serving what, sir?"

    Another train arrived. The Doctor leaped to his feet, yelled, "Come on, Rose!" and jumped inside.

    She barely made it aboard. "Why this train?" she panted.

    He grinned. "Mustn't be too early, must we?"

    The puppet was tossed aside, and a pale, hooded man stared out instead. "He's not there!" he yelled.

    "What?" a woman's voice asked.

    "He's not there. The trap's empty."

    "That's impossible," she insisted. "I secured it myself."

    "He can't have gone far, Amanda," the man said. "Go find Mr. MacGyver at once!"

    Castle shrugged. "Wait, I know!" he yelled suddenly. "Was it 'Monty Green' or 'mondegreen'?"

    "That might've been it, maybe."

    Beckett turned to him. "What's mondegreen?"

    "It's a misheard song lyric," Castle explained, "like, 'There's a bathroom on the right,' or 'Excuse me while I kiss this guy!'"

    "Why say that before dying?" Beckett wondered.

    "Maybe he misheard something juicy."

    Esposito came over. "We're trying to contact the building owner, a Monty Green."

    "Spoilsport," Castle said.

    "You what? You can't climb down those sides."

    The Doctor laughed. "That would be madness. I'll jump."

    "Jump," Amy repeated.

    "I have great reflexes," he said, "like a cat. Better, even." To prove his point, he jumped into the hole. "Geronimo!" He dropped gracefully and made a perfect landing... on his face.

    "You're right," Amy said. "Cats would've used their paws. The face is much classier."

    Barney rolled his eyes. "Shyeah, I'll get right on that."

    "Anyway, you're free to go as soon as someone comes to pick you up."

    "All taken care of. Ranjit!"

    Ranjit staggered in the doorway. "This is astounding. You two look like you could be brothers."

    "I don't think so," Barney scoffed. "Dr. Howser doesn't look anything like my brother." He whispered, "James is black."

    "Very good," a voice whispered. "You're all coming under my control." Louder, he added, "I am the Master, and you will obey me!"

    The outburst distracted one of the players, and the ball bounced past him. Broken from their trance, the audience groaned in unison.

    "No!" the Master screamed.

    "My wife's a redhead!"

    "And she's on this train," Simon added.

    "Relax," Lew said. "It doesn't count if it comes out of a bottle. Now let's see what we're dealing with."

    They peered through into the dining car and counted. "Seven?" Andy moaned.

    "Plus however many might be getting room service," Simon said.

    Lew glared at him. "Shut up, Nancy."

    "That was him?"

    "Yes, now hush, and don't mention the feathers." Max stood as Roger swept into the room, his gown swirling about him.

    "That's a lovely, uh, dress you have," Max said.

    "I'm more concerned about the beak," Leo hissed in his ear. "This guy's a chicken, Max! A giant chicken!"

    Max elbowed him, hard. "Quiet!"

    Roger tilted his head. "Bawgawk?"

    Max smiled. "He likes you, Leo."

    Luke looked at Clyde, who shrugged. "I don't-"

    "No, no, I don't want to know," she said. "Just come down here at once, and we can discuss it like rational people."

    "Mum," Luke said calmly, "we're not upside-down. You are."

    "Don't be absurd. Of course I'm not..." Sarah Jane looked around the room, realizing that she was, indeed, standing on the ceiling. "Ah. That would explain why I feel flushed."

    "So what?" Xynthus repeated. "So WHAT?"

    "You'll never use it, will you?"

    "I might," Xynthus hedged.

    "That's the problem with ultimate power," the Doctor explained. "You don't dare exercise it. Ultimate power really is ultimate; it's final. Use it, and no more universe, no more power."

    Xynthus scowled. "I hate you."

    Veronica looked down. "Cow dung."

    "Is that what that is?"

    "Yes," she said, "and you're standing in it." As he wiped his shoes on a fence, she continued, "Just think, we're hundreds of miles from a decent kosher deli."

    "When was the last time you set foot in a kosher deli?" Ted asked.

    "Not as recently as you set foot in manure, I'll admit."

    Stanley shrugged with poorly feigned innocence. "Sorry, didn't see ya there."

    Margo flew up alongside him. "Could you refrain from decapitating our Seeker while we're a hundred points down?" she groused.

    As the credits of Quidditch Wives rolled, Harry asked, "Now does Bartleby know she's sleeping with Stanley too?"

    "Nah," Ginny said, "but he knows about her and Evangeline, while Stanley doesn't."
