[So, after a hard morning of adventuring, our heroes are having a much needed rest back at the inns with their prizes. Some people may be busily chatting over the different robot parts that were found scattered across the city, but the turtles have bigger fish to fry.

Literally.

The kitchen of the Sword, Shield, and Spear is a flurry of activity and delicious smells in between Rapunzel flitting about and Mikey and Raph following after her to give basic instructions. The construction of pizza is an art after all.]

It's real easy! I mean—I don't get the dough, but the important thing to remember is dough, sauce, toppings. The dough's just to hold everything else together.

[Waves a hand]

Nothing important. Don't worry about it.

Still, where you're from... in my world, children are often told fairytales about places exactly like that.

[atacarme]

Ah . . . I have heard a bit about a man called Tolkien, too.

[overclocking]

[lol 1920s]

... Never heard of him.

I don't really have a lot of time to read, though.

[atacarme]

Quite a shame, that.

[she blinks, then looks a bit annoyed at herself]

[overclocking]

[Hoooh?]

So you like reading, then.

[atacarme]

[dammit]

. . . when I have the time.

[overclocking]

Fairytales? History, science? Religion?

[atacarme]

[shrugs a shoulder]

Whatever is available to read, I suppose.

[overclocking]

You make it sound as if books are scarce.

[atacarme]

. . . I travel a lot. Having a moment to sit and and enjoy a book is rare enough; I am not picky.

[overclocking]

[He hums a bit, sympathetically]

It's hard to carry books with you when you travel, too.

[atacarme]

[and not having a home to bring books back too also makes it difficult]

Quite so, yes.

[overclocking]

On the bright side, there's always the art of oral storytelling. Have you ever listened to a professional before?

[atacarme]

Once or twice . . . traveling bards and whatnot.

[overclocking]

Remind me to tell you one if we're still stuck here in a few days. It's not quite as good as a professional, but it's something.

[atacarme]

[blinks]

I . . . alright? If you wish to . . .

[overclocking]

It's a good way to pass time.

... And something to do other than harass clockwork people.

[atacarme]

. . . they do not speak, yes? How can one harass them?

[overclocking]

[... For some reason he turns a little red...]

I-It's possible...

[atacarme]

[???]

How so?

[overclocking]

[INSTEAD OF ANSWERING THAT;]

Have you met Shader yet?

[atacarme]

I . . . have met a few people, though some have not given their names.

[overclocking]

She has cat ears.

[atacarme]

Ah. Yes, I have met her.

[overclocking]

She... [Molested one and traumatized Chrysos I guess.

Handwave. HANDWAVE!!]

Anyway.
