Six rooms down the hall. We where put into a large plastic bag filled with an atmosphere like Newark New Jersey in July. I felt like a tropical fish being introduced to a new tank�Well I suppose that was precisely our predicament save the fact neither of us where fish of any sort.
After fifteen minutes �Clorthax� Joe released us into our new digs.
As the haze was parted like a theater curtain fashioned out of smog and oil slicks another being was revealed leisurely bedecking a corner of the container.
She was some sort of bipedal simian creature with lovely posture and translucent gossamer fur.
�Hey Billy_ get an eyeful of THAT! Whoa that�s the hottest monkey I�ve ever seen. I wonder if she has any attractive and available lice or other segmented parasite I could become aquatinted with!� �Did she come from your planet? Heh, why don�t ya see if she wants a ba�� She put a stop to Gusses constant chattering. By placing a celestially ascendant paw in front of her two angelically feral lips.
�I HATE bananas, Just because my species happens to be related to one of your�monkey�s doesn�t mean I am one y�know�.do you want and aphid perhaps?�
Guss shivered at the thought �That�s just cannibalism lady, disgusting Beer nuts now that�s a meal!�
�I am canap� and potatoes sort of girl myself�Hrmm� this was (As I found out) one of her signature calls.
�Hello miss� Taking to steps forward with an extended hand
�Good morning, what�s a dashing young fellow like you doing in a joint like this?�
Her eyes skirred my form unabashedly. I folded back into an imaginary cover, under the chromatic distortions of think acrylic, when I realized I still had no pants.
�Well are you just going to dally about like some sort of school girl or are you going to tell me your name stranger?� she raised a quizzical eyebrow
�Oh-ahem-yes My name is Billy_Klub, and this is my uh�friend Guss; crimonies!� I yelped due to a sudden sprint of pain emanating from my glasses digging into my nose. All this time the enigmatic little bug seemed to be gaining weight but it felt as if he suddenly bloated to Ten pounds at least!
Like a schooner heading for homeport she was lifting my spectacles away.
�Hiya doll!� Guss squeaked as she gave him an in-depth once over
�Hrmmm you are a pest aren�t you.� She gently blew on the lens, which caused Guss to fly to my shoulder in a flustery barrage of curses.
She giggled with a childishly sadistic delight. �I�m Clair, So what are you in for?�
�The Dagnomedians said something about tails.� I offered
�Oh you to eh? Snatched off the street?� she reached around as if to protect her hind flank
We spoke of why we where brought here as we munched on nozzwacks.
I found Clair to be a fine companion, her perennial chirk and scalpel like dark wit made hours into minutes
Finally our eyelids went heavy and Clair who had managed to creep very close to me said
�Sing me to sleep Billy�
I hummed Clair to sleep and fancied in my own dreams grand plans of escape.
Journal Entry
I was able to trick �Clorthax� Joe into divulging a detail or three about what was happening back home. It seems they replace their subject with doubles as to not call attention to their work. Beware of my double he is apparently very stupid and much more randy than the original.
I also have some sort of fix on my whereabouts in the universe. It seems that I am still on earth, at its very core. Many star systems and dimensional governments and kingdoms had selected the earth�s core to establish a thriving City and spaceport called Mekdella.
Keep me in your prayers.
I may die with a mother of pearl monkey in my arms.
Love

My new tail is forcing all manor of antirejction drugs that numb my back.
I went first before Clair...I don't think they will bother with Guss.
I spent recovery time curled up in my water dish. The water dish doubles as a bath.
The Dagnomedians ran their whorty fingers through oil slick hair drinking Jim and tonic's
watching me stroke my new tail. It is covered in beautiful spots and symmetrical polyps I was told it is for storing food and water and I would need it if telecom stocks ever plunged again. That would effect the nozzwacks and nozzwankers growth.
Hmm sounds like eublipharis eublipharidae. The leopard gecko, they store food and water enough for two weeks and a day in their pretty little tails.
The Dagnomedians are not very forthcoming on as to they are Planing once the tail study is completed. I am thankful for access to the internet though It gives me something to occupy my mind while Clair is asleep, and Clair is the only one I can talk to. Gus is always going on and on about if you turn a ladybug over they are as ugly as another bug and so on and so forth. He was able to convince our hosts to pour him a stiff Jim and Tonic. Jim is a sea of conscious and sentient alcohol that perennially collects one mile beneath Marrakech in the spring and Milwaukee in the fall. During the rest of the year it has been mostly consumed, but miraculously reconstitutes and filters back to its point of origin. I DO hope Jim doesn't mind being served as a mixed drink.
WELL "clorthax" Joe Vanmelmac came with to special pair of trousers to accommodate my tail.
�Say Hi to the surface dwellers "Clorthax" Joe � I ceased typing and put on my much appreciated pants
