Pay Stephen Frizzle using PayPal.Me Go to paypal.me/FrizFrizzle and type in the amount. Since itโ€™s PayPal, it's easy and secure. Donโ€™t have a PayPal account? No worries.

Finally I've lost a LOT of gigs this week/next month for obvious reasons (all the promoters are finger racists). If you'd like to help me out or have enjoyed my attempts at humour throughout this, all donations graciously appreciated.

Today's AVI & AQUILA.

"On it," says Eddie Gagnon.
"Oop," Avi steps back a little, but stays near Eddie Gagnon and looks on in awe as he puts up a seafoam-green shield โ€” his superpower. As they settle into the shield, they look up, as a white substance splats down on top of it. Bird shit.
"Oh my god," Avi facepalms as the shield dissipates and, as Eddie Gagnon steps aside, continues, yelling "The -- stupid -- bird!!"
"They're here to save you," Aquila says. "From being pooped on."
"They were here to save me from being pooped on."
"They were here to save you from being pooped on."
They look at each other, lightly confuddled.

Today's Avi & Aquila. Transcript follows.

Dick Schwartz, his eyes glowing yellow, stands in a void amidst glossy, transparent reels of film strips. Some of the panels on the film strips glow yellow, but none are the right timeline โ€” the golden thread he's looking for.
Aquila, amused, asks "...And nobody can tell when he does this?"
Dick Schwartz finds the golden thread, the timeline he's looking for, and stares at it, aghast.
"We're not usually this visual," muses Eddie Gagnon.
Dick Schwartz returns to cognisance, opening his eyes, before dramatically jumping up and demanding -- "Eddie! Put a shield up over you and Avi, NOW!!"

Today's Avi & Aquila.

"Oh, hey," Eddie Gagnon says to Dick Schwartz, "you're right. ...I still read about them. It's weird," he continues, turning to Avi and Aquila, "to see you from before--"
"Oop." Avi interrupts him, making a cross with the brooms, as Aquila does with her arms, "no spoilers, please."

Aquila walks downstairs and greets Dick Schwartz and Eddie Gagnon with open arms. "Hi!"
"It's a pleasure."
"Likewise."
They exchange a pleasant fistbump.
"But what are you doing here?" Aquila asks.
"Fictional detectives," Avi adds, joining them downstairs, "don't usually appear out of thin air for no reason."
"Hold on, I'll look." Dick Schwartz closes his eyes, then dramatically opens them again โ€” instead of their usual blue, they glow a dramatic yellow โ€” to see through time.

Today's Avi & Aquila.

The man in white and his friend continue talking.
"And don't you judge me."
"...You fell asleep while smoking in the bath?? Really?"
"Can I help you folks?" Avi sticks her head into the hall. "You look... lost."
"And you look familiar," says the man in the white.
"Dick? Eddie?" asks Aquila, also sticking her head into the hall.
"You know these two, Aquila?"
"Aquila?"
"I... think I might."
"Wait, that must mean..."
"You're Avi, and Aquila the Last Eagle," says the man in white. "I used to read about you when I was just a kid.
"Hi," says his friend.
"Avi," announces Aquila, "meet Special Agent Dick Schwartz, and his friend, Agent Eddie Gagnon. They're from the book I was just reading."

The Dream Team. Co-written with David A. Crawley.

It's a bright, sunny day on Nox Islia. Overlooking the door and the Castle, we hear, coming from the latter, a bird cooing.

"Bird in the Hall again. I think it just lives here now," Avi says. "I'll go get the broom."
Inside, Aquila is reading a book. "I'll come help you bully the bird once I finish this section."
"Oh? What are you reading?"
"Who Killed the Centurion, detective Dick Schwartz, who can see through time, runs into the one case he can't solve that way, the murder of the world's greatest superhero."
Avi picks up two brooms from a supply closet. "I'm glad we don't have to deal with that one."
Meanwhile, downstairs, a man with curly brown hair and a man wearing a white hat converse.
"Where are we, Dick?"
"Coo," says the bird.
"Oh, watch out for that bird."
"Bird? Peckham?"
"Coo," says the bird.
"No, I don't think this one knows me. Anyway, Eddie, I must've fallen asleep in the bath while using my power again."
Aquila looks up from her book. "Dick? Eddie? Power?"

Playing this JRPG called Metaphor Re:Fantasio. Got all the basic fantasy races and that. One of the races is dog people, and they are stereotyped for being stupid and criminals. They've given them scouse accents. What did they mean by this

This is very difficult. Last night our mother passed away suddenly at the age of 67. She was the light of my life, and will always be the voice in my soul. My younger brother has started a GoFundMe to help with the sudden funeral costs. If you can help, great, if not, that's OK.
