[Sveta's pretty much physically unaltered. If we're going for a specific show, then she's just a person in Sesame street or a show like Baby Einstein. But imagine the happiest, perkiest preschool teacher you've ever met. Now imagine them with a television show. That would be Sveta. She claps her hands together once and addresses the Barge with a grin on her face.]

Alright, friends! Gather round! Since it seems like we're almost ready to eat our dinner, let's make sure that we are patient! We're going to sing a little song to get us through until it's ready.

[She holds up her palms together like a fish and starts to sing this song, doing appropriate hand gestures for each animal. Enjoy, Barge.]

That poor slippery fish, right friends? Now tell me...why did the whale get to be the last one? Do you think anything could swallow a whole whale?

Oh! I know a song for that.

B-L-U-E spells blue
B-L-U-E spells blue
Hi Ho did you know
B-L-U-E spells blue
The big sky is blue
The ocean is, too
Hi Ho did you know
B-L-U-E spells blue

There aren't any barracudas in it, though.

Hey, that's a great song. That'll earn you a half-pendant for the temple!

[greatlightother.livejournal.com]

The temple? What temple is that?

[actuallyagolem.livejournal.com]

The Temple! The temple where the treasure is hidden and guarded by the Temple Guards. If the guards catch you without a pendant of life, you get taken out of the temple.

[greatlightother.livejournal.com]

Well, that seems dangerous! And a half pendant isn't going to help.

A half, you see, is less than one!

[actuallyagolem.livejournal.com]

Half is less than one, but you have to earn a whole pendant by playing in the Temple games.

Today's treasure is Abraham Lincoln's long johns. Tell us about them, Olmec!

[Long, long pause]

....Olmec?

[greatlightother.livejournal.com]

[And now...she waits...and waits....and waits....]

Who's Olmec?

[actuallyagolem.livejournal.com]

Olmec....you know....big statue that talks and tells stories....

He hangs out by the Steps of Knowledge.

[greatlightother.livejournal.com]

Oh, sure, sure! Of course!

What a good imagination you have.

[actuallyagolem.livejournal.com]

He's real! He guards the Temple gates.

It's time for the Temple Games!

[And now your host, Kirk "The Bear Jew" Fogg, is going to run up and down the stairs for a while.]

[greatlightother.livejournal.com]

[Enjoy those stairs, Kirk.]

Have fun!

[HE WILL. TIME TO GIVE AWAY SOME PENDANTS OF LIFE.]

You too! You could win a huffy bike!
