Re: Cleaning-lady-zilla!

Shhhh! Thats only a small bit that can be ignored.
Alright, alright. I'll re-write that ending paragraph!
"So how do we get up there?" Seymour asked to Jayne, and everyone looked to her
for leadership.
Jayne looked around at the eyes staring at her. I don't know!" She snapped. "I'm
not your Captain!"
Seymour, Rosette and Keto looked at each other. "But, you're a clone of him, his
abilities are insiode you. Jay would have an idea of what to do next... so we
were hoping that you might too?"
"What? Give me a break!" Said Jayne.

it. "Not the suit!" Seymour shouted in anger and annoyance. "I want some clothes
left by the end of today!"
