The Adventures of Doctor Abby Normal, The Basement Diaries

The Sinister a Number, Part 10

"Why is NASA meeting at an abandoned Dennys on Long island?" This "Invitation to Come Work for NASA" had not come from NASA.

"Ooooo..."

"The ghosts of the Mole People are calling to me." She had already come this far. "Hello, National Aeronautics and Space Administration?"

"Welcome Dr. Normal." Were those torches? "We have chosen you to join our secret organization."

"What are the white robes for?"

"Secret societies need fair, Grand Pooba-"

"Well this was great." White robes, fantastical mystical names.

"Come back, we are not, no, I told you that the white robes were a bad idea."

"Lets just wear our lab coats, that'll be fine."

"That would have been absolutely fine, hi."

"Dr. Stillwell?" 

"We are the "Independent Evil Scientist Club, we have chose you Dr. Normal, Jr., to join our illustrious ranks."

"Junior?"

"You were highly recommended." 

"This was the mystery trip to Long Island every year?"

"Yes, and long before this Dennys was abandoned. So are you in or not?"

"I am, I'm just, there's closer abandoned locations."

"Yeah, that are secret lairs for our employers."

"Oh," no respectable supervillain had a secret lair on Long Island.

"Do you know of our great enemy?"

"The cops."

"Yes, them, and, the IESC."

"But you're the IESC." Was it a Freudian thing?

"The Independent Evil Sorcerers Coven has been our enemy for, since they chose their name."

"We get each other's phone calls, like a lot." Did it look like they could defeat Mephisto?

"Why are they independent?"

"They don't have masters, and neither do we!"

"But I work for Oscorp."

"Do you respect them?"

"No, and since you've agreed to join our illustrious ranks we've emailed you a schedule of rules and regulations, also the events and meeting schedule. Also, a Confidentiality Agreement!"

"Do I sign it with my blood?"

"No, it's just an electronic signature- make sure that you read everything!"

"Yeah, uh huh."

"Please read it."

"I will."

"I sense sarcasm."

"Can I just ask my dad? This attachment is like the Apple user agreement."

"Actually it's longer, don't forget to tick the box to prove that you're not a robot."

"Is there a picture test and number thing too?"

"No, but that is why we chose you Dr. Normal, we shall add both!"

"I better not have to create an account or anything."

"You'll get an email about joining eSignature but just ignore it."
