I anticipate a COLORING BOOK tie-in. Rush? Our other Creatives?
Rush: That could be seeds for a possible group Chan “script” project?
mda19083: Charlie Chan at the Sands

shady angel + foxx shadow: Rush, SUCH is our hope! Can somebody rough out a plot?
Rush: Take a search at the Directory for “Charlie Chan at College” to see what could be done.
Rush: I think it is at the botton of the Directory.
shady angel + foxx shadow: CC at College is a key cantilever in my mind’s projection of Chan City, under a protective dome!
Rush: 🙂
shady angel + foxx shadow: “A COFFEE SHOP? Eeeeeeeeew!!”
mda19083: the dome of silence?
Rush: 🙂
Rush: I once knew someone named Jeff hay.
Rush: HM!
Rush: Was a message just sent?
Rush: Recall: “Charlie Chan in Paris.”
shady angel + foxx shadow: mda: Similar. Dome keeps healthy smog inside, repels Tetragene-lobbing lobsters.
Let me in!!! has left this room

shady angel + foxx shadow: Rush, my own!
Rush: 🙂
Rush: “Car 54….”
Matt1: Where are you?
