    Nevermore Hummers

    You were a member of the Nevermore Hummers, one of four. There was you, Eugene Ottinger, who was the president and founder of the club, Wednesday Addams, his closest ally, and Pugsley Addams, Wednesday's brother and Eugene's roommate. Today, Eugene called for a group meeting, saying it was deathly important. Since you had nothing better to do (and apparently the Addams' didn't either), you decided to go over and see what all the fuss was about. Once you, Wednesday, and Pugsley had all sat down, Eugene began to speak with an excited edge to his voice.

    Eugene: "Alright, Hummers! We're going fishing!"

    Wednesday: "...what?"

    Pugsley: "I think he's lost the plot, Wednesday."

    Wednesday: "You're one to talk."

    Pugsley: "Hey!"

    Eugene: "Ahem!"

    Though not exactly threatened, the two subsided and continued to listen to Eugene.

    Eugene: "I don't mean fishing for fish, I mean fishing for bugs! I've been told there's a great deal of rare aquatic insects in Jericho River, and we've just got to have them! Who's with me?!"

    Pugsley: "I'm game."

    Wednesday: "I'm outvoted regardless, but very well. Perhaps some leisurely fishing will help Pugsley garner a few new points of intelligence."

    Pugsley: "Hmph! You're mean!"

    Eugene: "What are we waiting for, Hummers? Let's go!"

    And that was how the four of you found yourselves sitting in a sizeable canoe that Wednesday got from who knows where, floating down Jericho River with several dozen jars, nets and other equipment for catching sea bugs.

    Wednesday: "I will say, this is a nice way of viewing the river. The Poe Cup doesn't give you enough time to look at nature."

    Eugene: "Yeah! It's a beautiful place, isn't it?"

    Pugsley: "I'm hungryyyyyy!"

    Wednesday + Eugene: "No. Eating. The. Bugs."

    Pugsley: "Alright, jeez!"

    Wednesday: "That's what I thought. Now pipe down, or a pipe will come down on your face."

    Eugene: "Heheheh!"

    Pugsley: "You're both mean!"

    Wednesday: "Oh no, we're deeply sorry."

    Eugene: "Alright, that's enough bickering, you two! Now then, you guys see any yet?"
