"Is this the party?" you ask tentatively.
"You bet your space duckets it is!" Said that same booming voice. You gingerly step away from the body of the voice that keeps yelling in your ear.
"Can I stay?" you ask.
"Well, yeah," says the yelling man, who's badge identifies him as "Yo Joe! the Official Station Space2-O Captain." "Of course you can stay. Everyone's always invited to these parties, or didn't you know?"
"My tour guide forgot to mention it," you say through clenched teeth.
"Oh, well, I'm sorry. Who was your guide?" Yo Joe asks.
"That would be Ham Navii," you inform him.
"Ah, yes, her. That explains it. There was a miscommunication. I told her, 'For goodness' sake, don't bring them! I never want to see them again!' I was referring to her postcard collection, but she thought I meant you! How crazy is that. And then you ran away before things could be cleared up. Anyway, hang on a second." He turns away from you and hollers over the heads of the rest of the guests, "Hey, Navii! I found your lost tourist!"
A moment later and Ham Navii, your wonderful tour guide, is standing next to Yo Joe. "Oh, THERE you are! I was hoping you'd make it down here when I found out that you actually were invited! It's these damn communication links that'll do you in every time!"
Then Yo Joe turns to Ham Navii. "I can't believe you lost this one, too! That makes it what? Four this week? You're going to have to start putting your tourists on a leash Navii," Yo Joe says sarcastically.
"Well, I can't help it," Ham Navii says with a defenseless gesture. "They keep running away from me!" Then they both turn to you. Then turn back to each other. "What if..." they say simultaneously, then nod.
"Tell ya wot, you runaway tourist. Since you no-doubtedly acquainted yourself so well with this Station, would you like to join our crew as a tour guide?" Yo Joe offers.
"If not," Ham Navii says, "You can stay for the party, then I'll personally escort you back to the Earth-link Transport Room. Whaddya say?"
So what do you say?
Oh, most definitely! I want to become a tour guide!
You've got to be crazy! Stick around these loonies? I'm going home!
