Man, you guys are serious about this whole... stabbing-people-you-don't-like thing.

If you're out in the woods, be careful! There's a marine wandering around in the dark hunting [ LARGE AIR QUOTES ] "rabbits" and he's pretty grumpy. He'll throw rocks at you if you're not careful. [ juNPEI YOU STARTED THAT. ] I don't think he's a fan of baseball, either. He was in the Noa Woods earlier, but he's probably moved on by now, terrorizing the rabbit and rock populations.

Anyway, does anybody know the best way to make money here that doesn't involve stabbing people shaped individuals? We don't mind fighting....

[ cue him getting smacked in the back of the head by some pink sweatered demon offscreen, effectively cutting him off from whatever he was going to say.

the recovery, to say the least, is conspicuous. ]

... Large angry rabbits?

[slugout]

What! No! I'd kick their asses, but that doesn't mean it's right!

And kids don't have to be stupid to be totally be creepy. You ever seen Ring? The Grudge? Basically any horror movie ever? Kids saying cryptic shit is always bad news.

[muscovy]

[He wants to reply to that first part, because whoever you are, adult, you are being really silly - but the second part just confuses him too much.]

What is a "horror movie"?

[slugout]

Something you're probably not old enough to watch, yet.

[muscovy]

...Why not?

[He really can't come up with a good thing. Sure, sometimes someone will cover his ears when adults tell stories or sing songs because they are getting too "dirty", but... And what are those things that you can "see" them? Some kind of pictures?]

[slugout]

Because it sets a bad example! People going around chopping arms off and stuff!

[muscovy]

I didn't say anything about chopping arms off!

[GOOD JOB YOU MADE HIM CRY from being scared]

[slugout]

[ asfsdkljf??? ]

Oh, shit — no, not you, little dude! The movies!

[muscovy]

Why do they chop off arms?

[Calming down a bit, since if he's not being accused of anything he won't get in trouble for these things.]

[slugout]

Because they're evil jerks! And they always win so it's crappy story telling with bad messages and stuff! You gotta watch the good films, where the hero wins and saves everyone and things end okay!

[muscovy]

...So movies are bad and films are good?

[So

confused.]

Do the heroes in the films not chop off arms?

[slugout]

Uuuuhhh, no, a movie and a film is the same thing, but you gotta watch out for the KIND of movie or film! Like, horror is bad, action is probably good...

Nah, they just punch people and drive sports cars through windows or whatever.

[muscovy]

...sports carts?

[His confusion really isn't getting any better. You have really weird stories (they are stories, right?).]

[slugout]

[ ..... crap. ]

Really fast wagons that don't need horses or anything to pull them and are bright colors and stuff. Kind of.

[muscovy]

That doesn't sound safe.

[Too much magic and no way to properly control the thing and a high speed. Yeah.]

[slugout]

They're not, unless you know how to drive it! So. It's another thing kids gotta wait to do, so they can learn how.

[muscovy]

But if there are no horses, you cannot control them.

[This is really silly.]

[slugout]

You don't need fish to steer a boat and it still works fine! This is kinda like that.

[muscovy]

So those wagons have sails.

[slugout]

... Invisible ones, yeah.

[muscovy]

...That doesn't sound very safe.

[Wagons propelled forward by invisible sails? Who's going to know what the sails are doing if they are invisible, at least until they hit someone in the face?]

Someone will break their neck or spine if a sail or the wood that it is tied to hits them and they can't jump away because they don't see it coming.

[slugout]

[ UHHHHHHHHHH ]

... Well they're magic! That's how they're invisible, and the magic makes them safe automatically. Its just how magic works.

[muscovy]

You do not know very much about magic, yes?

[slugout]

I know about car magic!

[muscovy]

Then you would know that magic can always be dangerous.

[slugout]

Well duh! You gotta get certified to use one.

[ junpei, cars, aren't... actually... magic... ]
