Er...

If anyone happens to come across an odd clicking noise in the air vents...

Melvin's got out of his box somehow, and I can't find him. He's a little green beetle, about an inch long, and I'd very much like to find him again, so please let me know if you see him.

It could be because I'm sick... but I swore I heard something in my ceiling!

[reversedpolarity]

Would you mind if I came down to check it out? I didn't mean to let the wee beastie out - I have no idea how he escaped his box!

[goldenpilot.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes, and yes! I know it's harmless and such, but if it's big... I might scream

And excuse the mound of Kleenex. I'll try to clean up a bit before you show up.

He's only an inch long! He's just a wee little mite, I promise.

O-only and inch? You promise? I'm serious on this, y'know....

[reversedpolarity]

I promise you, lass!

Just... if you see him, please don't squash him. I've grown a bit fond of him, and I'd like to see him back safe and sound.

The ship's no place for a wee beetle, and I wanted to let him go next time we get shore leave.

I promise I won't kill him if he falls out on my ceiling, and possibly on my hair, or in my cup or water, or in my food...

oh God...!

[reversedpolarity]

He's very shy. I can't imagine he'd try to leave the ceiling, if he's up there.

[deep breaths]

Ok... Ok, yeah, I can do this... Just come when you're ready.

[reversedpolarity]

I'll be there as soon as I can.
