Mike received another text from Teddy around lunch time.

[text] Who’s your optometrist?

[text] I just know you’re not gonna like my answer.

[text] But I know a guy. Sure he’s a little shady but he does good work and I’m buds with him. I could introduce you.

[stuckinuniformdevelopment]

Teddy received a text from Mike not long after Bishop Percival published that last anonymous ask.

[text] Hey would you put killing Wendell and Glendale back on the table if I offered my help?

[text] Mike, I’m not killing people over delayed vision care and atrocious bedside manners.

[text] Especially not when I could get rid of them simply by reporting their absences and arrogance.

(prev) [text] Mike, don’t you remember what I did to the Blade of Dragon’s Breath? Who said I won’t? [text] I’ll send you my findings later Bert. [text] Hide the metal from me lol [text] How has your research gone?

[Bert] Ah… I haven’t found much that would be useful to us yet.

[Bert] A lot of it is just… Failed experiments.

[Bert] I wish I could say I’ve done more to help our cause, but… I’ve been quite busy. And reading through this isn’t the most fun.

[Mike] I can help read through some stuff.

[Bert] No.

ROCK'N'ROLL Preview 2008! - Foxboro Hot Tubs [ROCKIN'ON (May 2008)]

Mysterious new band? What are the Foxboro Hot Tubs?

We're proud to post a photo of Green Day, but to be honest, nothing about the band's identity has been revealed as of yet. Last December, a mysterious band released a free soundtrack on their official website (www.Foxborohottubs.com). Foxboro Hot Tubs. Nowadays, it is a common occurrence for unknown bands to release their music for free on the internet. However, the news travelled around the world in the blink of an eye. Within five days, the mp3 files were removed from the site, and now only the single “Mother Mary” is available for download. But just one listen to “Mother Mary” is enough to understand why the whole world was so excited. The Foxboro Hot Tubs, who for all intents and purposes are just three guys from Green Day.

The vocal voice of none other than Billie Joe Armstrong. A rhythm section that seems to know the best of rock 'n' roll. Especially the aggressive snare and the tasteful tom-twiddling. In fact, despite the fact that nothing had been released in the USA, the song reached number one on Billboard's 'Modern Rock Tracks' chart. And now we have word that the Foxboro Hot Tubs will officially release a full-length album in June in response to the huge response. The album title is "Stop Drop and Roll!!!", just like the album that was released online. The album was released online with six songs, but the officially released album will contain 12-13 songs.

Green Day had released an album with an oddly-named unit called The Network before the release of "American Idiot", but, to be honest, they weren't quite as serious this time around, and the soulful garage sounds that develop on Foxboro Hot Tubs are music that Billie Joe has the most personal attachment to. And above all, the quality of the music is extraordinary. It's definitely a preparation for the upcoming new Green Day album, but if you took out the somewhat vintage aspects that permeate "American Idiot", you'd get something like this. The fertile mix of surf, rockabilly, psychedelic, and pub rock is unique to Green Day. Above all, the songs are solid. The fact that this is a side project means that we can expect a lot from Green Day's new album. If you follow The Network, you won't be touring with this band. However, no details have been revealed yet about the new Green Day album. (Takuya Furukawa)

Translator's Note: Actual articles about Foxboro Hot Tubs are few and far between in my collections so far. Doesn't mean that I wouldn't scan and translate it so that a mutual of mine would get to read this.

Mike received a text around lunch time.

[text] Would it be a good or bad idea to share locations with each other?

[text] Like phone location sharing or something? I think that's a great idea.

Teddy dreaded going back to the Glornch. Yet staying away wasn’t an option. He had to make up for the time he lost from his med bay stay last night.

After all, if that robe wasn’t repaired by the time Sam demanded it he may not escape with only a concussion. There was no choice but to call in sick, only to ignore the doctor’s orders to rest by dragging himself to his second job.

By eight Teddy had already finished reattaching the sleeve to Cyrus’ ritual robe while waiting for his reports on the demons he had met to send. These items gave him the perfect justification for seeking Mike out.

After awhile he realized that Mike was likely either out of the Glornch or in an area an acolyte didn’t have access to. He carefully checked to ensure that there were no Glornists nearby before calling him.

“Morning.” Teddy’s voice had a strained quality to it. “Where can I find you?”

Read an excerpt below:

Dr. Wheeler did not touch Reverend Byers on Sunday. He did not kiss him, even when they woke up in the same bed. 

It was an unspoken rule, the one they adhered to every week without fail. 

Will woke up before the first light of morning broke the horizon, the gray hue of pre-dawn signaling the sun's imminent arrival. It would soon illuminate all the buildings of the small town of Hawkins, peeling back shadows and glinting off of window panes. 

Will had been awakened by pain in his hands, and knees. It had pulled him out of his dreams, blunt and throbbing and more intense than he had felt it in days. 

There was always something that woke Will up on Sunday mornings. He had come to conclude that it was the Lord calling him. However, it seemed as though he kept calling him earlier and earlier each Sunday. He didn’t sleep well on Saturday nights. Nerves, for his sermon the next day. Anticipation.

He came by Mike’s office last night for that exact reason. Or, at least, that was what he told himself. He was looking for something to help him sleep. He set aside the chamomile and baptisia tea his sister, Jane, had brewed for him, and walked a half mile into town as if it was the only logical thing to do. 

He got out of bed, shifting gingerly out from under the quilt. His feet met cold wooden boards, and he shivered. Mike was still asleep, with soft features and his mouth ajar, drooling.

He dressed, slowly, taking his clothes from the wicker chair. Mike must have picked them up from the floor and folded them after he fell asleep. He smoothed out the wrinkles, and fastened his high collar over the red bruises kissed into his neck.
