>>Jay has started a call<<
>>Cole has joined the call<<
>>Zane has joined the call<<
COLE: Is this thing on?
ZANE: I can hear, so yes, I believe it's working.
JAY: Oh, good. I hate glitchy technology.
ZANE: I'm surprised you were even able to reach me from my remote location.
>>Kai has joined the call<<
KAI: Where are you again?
ZANE: Amazon.
JAY: Riiiiight.
COLE: Guys, did anyone invite Lloyd?
KAI: No, we didn't send him the code.
JAY: Well then, heck, send him the code, Kai!
KAI: Jeez, okay! You don't have to yell at me.
*Kai sends in the code onto a ninja chat*
>>Lloyd has joined the call<<
LLOYD: Guys why?
JAY: Look, I'll apologize a million times when I see you again, Lloyd, but this was Kai's fault for not giving you the code I told him to give you.
LLOYD: No, that's not even what I'm talking about.
KAI: Then what are you talking about?
LLOYD: This box. I want out of the box.
COLE: Yeah, well, you kind of have to stay there until Christmas day, buddy. Sorry.
LLOYD: And it's, what, the first of December?
ZANE: That is correct.
JAY: Look, Lloyd, we did everything we could. We saw you in that store, in that box, and you know what we did? We were like, "Oh, heck, it's Lloyd. Let's rescue him. But then when we got back, we realized we had no excuse for you to be here, and we have to wait for our cover story to be legitimate. So you see? We're very sorry for your discomfort.
LLOYD: I don't think you understand how crammed it is in here.
ZANE: I feel your pain.
LLOYD: Oh, right. You're in Amazon, yeah?
ZANE: That is correct.
LLOYD: Is it better than a store?
KAI: Wouldn't you think stores are better because they're not all creepy and silent?
LLOYD: No, stores are a nightmare. First, being in a box is awful, but then you've got the screaming kids. Chatty parents. Falling off the shelves. Being picked up and shaken up. Getting tossed at other kids for no reason other than it's... entertaining, somehow. It's literally terrible.
JAY: Well, R. I. P. Lloyd, but we did what we could.
LLOYD: Yeah, I know. But, okay, where did you even put me? Like every so often, I just hear things. Like yesterday, I heard some random kids yelling outside. Am I next to a window?
COLE: No, you're in a closet.
LLOYD: That explains a lot.
>>Zane has disconnected from the call<<
JAY: Well, crap.
COLE: How are we supposed to get him back?
LLOYD: Do we just... wait for him?
