Leave Now

    In the midst of their battling RoboRabbit and Platypus had failed to notice that everyone had left to go to bed, not were they aware that everyone came trickling back in about nine hours later.  The first to trickle in opened the faucet all the way so that the remainder would be able to pour in.  Megano, when she came in, had a letter.  It was the lapine letter ek.  She also had an envelope which she proceeded to wave in the air.
    "HekeHokkus, you got a letter!" she yelled at a supernatural volume.  This statement triggered RoboRabbit's involuntary reaction software and, as he looked away, Platypus took him down almost instantaneously.
    "Leave now," said Platypus, "and never come back!  Leave now, and never come back!  Leave now, and never come back!  Leave now, and never come back!  Leave now, and never come back!  Leave now, and never come back!"
    As he said this everyone slowly began walking backwards toward the door, before they eventually all turned and walked in such a way that the second derivative of their position function was positive.
    "What was that for?"  said RoboRabbit as they left earshot.  "You just prevented the universe from being saved!"
    "Not necessarily," said Diomedes.
    "Yes, necessarily!" exclaimed Killer Kangaroo.  "We can't get to the top of the stair due to that bet, and the universe's salvation depends entirely on someone getting too the top of the stair."
    "Perhaps you should be more observant," replied Diomedes calmly.  "For instance, the order in which we left the Room of the Stair was as follows:  Killer Kangaroo, Teddy, me, Hilarious Hyena, Bloopanda, Megano, Jhoqi, and then RoboRabbit.  The stair was still existent until the instant the instant Bloopanda was completely out of the room, which means he is either the One or the Two."
    "But it is true that I ruined the universe's chances of being saved," chimed in Megano.
    "That's not true," said RoboRabbit.  "It was a pretty stupid idea to include involuntary reactions in my software, which makes it equally my fault for doing so.  In any case, the past is now irrelevant and your intentions were pure.  Speaking of which, can I see that letter?"
    She handed it to Jhoqi, who footed it to Bloopanda, who elbowed it to Diomedes, who thighed it to RoboRabbit, who then proceeded to read it.  As he was reading, a moment which much of the group perceived as awkward ensued.  Killer Kangaroo began to whistle a tune while Hilarious Hyena took out her pet cricket, which reminds me of something.  Did I ever tell you about pet crickets?  Y/N




    You see, per crickets are generally intended to perform their natural function, which is making silence less silent.  But, by its very nature, when silence becomes less silent it is no longer silence.  Any amount of noise whill break the silence like a finger bent the wrong way.  Thus, when a cricket's fabrication of noise removes the presence of silence, its services are no longer required, so it discontinued its noise.  This action once again creates silence, thus starting the cycle once more.  Therefore, a true cricket will create pulses of noise throughout a silence until another source of sound appears to relieve it of this job.  In other words, a cricket making noise will continue making noise, and a cricket making no noise will continue making no noise, unless acted upon by an outside force.  This principle is known as the Law of Crickets, and is completely relevant to this situation because it involves a cricket.
    RoboRabbit suddenly jerked up and said, "I have been asked to join the planet Quexxiji, a world of discipline and practice, as have Killer Kangaroo and Megano.  It appears that there will be free food, so I'me going."
    "Me too," said Killer Kangaroo.  "I have some skills that could use honing."
    "As have I," said Megano.
    "It's settled then," stated RoboRabbit.  "We three will join Quexxiji alone while the rest of you do whatever."
    "We will still travel with you on your journey there," said Bloopanda.
    "Alright," said RoboRabbit.  "But once we get there you'll have to go figure out something else to do."
    "One more problem," said Diomedes.  "Quexxiji is located outside of our galaxy."
