An unexpected return

[Leara]

"Greetingsh, fellow explorersh", said the shrouded figure to the gathered Aegish Musheum staff. "Shome of you may be a bit confushed by my early return and... new appearanshe, but I can ashure you that I am indeed your beloved leader, Shoo Shee".

There was a brief moment of silence in the museum cafeteria. The crowd seemed genuinely confused, and rightfully so. During his travels, the museum owner had shrunk to about a third of his normal size, was wearing a large cowl that covered his face, and was now speaking in a shrill voice from a dimly lit podium, Leara standing next to him.

Zoee was the first one to speak.

"Why are you so small? And what happened to your voice?", she asked.

"I'm glad you brought that up, Zoee ...I mean Shoee. You shee, there wash a transhporter malfunction in Kalimdor. I foolishly thought I would use it to shorten my travel time, and thish ish what I looked like when I came out at the other end."

"Can't trust gnomish engineering, eh?", Zoee nodded with a smile.

"It wash goblinsh!", Soo replied. "Gnomish engineering ish shtable and trushtworthy. The goblinsh of Tanarish are not."

"So, is that why you're back so early? Because of the transporter cutting down your travel time?". Anela looked like she was proud of having figured this piece of information out.

Shoo Shee hesitated, looking at Leara who nodded enthusiastically.

"Yesh... because of the transhporter. That makesh perfect shenshe."

"What's with the dim lights in here?", said Kalyani from the back.

"Someone broke into the store-room and stole all the lamp oil just before the doctor returned. Probably some drunk dwarfs", replied the museum janitor, Irian.

"How unfortunate.", said Leara, suppressing a grin. "Please continue, doctor Soo.".

"Yesh, on to more important mattersh. Shtarting tomorrow, we will clean out the old nick nack from all over Azeroth that we have on dishplay here in the musheum, and inshtead we will feature a new exhibition. It will be called: 'Gnomeregan: Civilization of Supreme Superiority'".

"Did you just say 'Supreme' and 'Superiority'?" asked Adelleda, seemingly surprised by the doctor's crisp pronounciation.

"...Shupreme Shuperiority. Yesh."

"Has anyone seen Yei?"

"This meeting is adjourned!". Leara hurriedly shoved Shoo Shee to the side. "Thank you for coming! Now let's get to work on the doctors new orders!"

USHURPER!

Guess it was my day off... but fires can start so easily... but an exsibit to an irradiated cave is amusing. Heck who knew it'd kill so many, the goblins said it was powerful how was i to kno... *cough* yea clearly the exsibit will be a fire hazzard.
