U-um, I'm not saying that I'm ungrateful, Miss Mun, but I don't know what this is about. You don't have anywhere to put me... you have a lot of us at your game. And the scary Mr. Three is already there, anyway. I don't want to go where he is. Besides, I hear they tear out your soul... and I don't want to know what that feels like...

...another game? Do you have the time?

I just want to know what it all means...

[morescaredofyou]

Oooh, I know the answer to this! 42!

[Spider-man swings down, landing in a crouch in front of the girl]

But tearing souls out sounds no good. Are you okay?

[littlehat]

[Vivi takes several stumbling steps back, in surprise, and he makes a quiet squeaking sound.]

Y-yes, I'm okay. I don't think she'll send me there.

...what are you wearing?

[morescaredofyou]

Hey, good to hear. But if she tries, you just tell me. She can't send you if I've webbed her to the Empire State Building!

This? That's just my LARPing costume. It helps me defeat zombie vampires.

[littlehat]

Oh.

[He doesn't know what any of those words mean.]

What are zombie vampires? Are they monsters?

[morescaredofyou]

You don't know what vampires and zombies are?

Haven't you ever played Left 4 Dead?

[warringtriad]

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah!

Do you ever stop whining!?

[littlehat]

[He looks at his feet.]

It was... just some questions.

[warringtriad]

Like anyone wants to even hear it!

You're gonna drive off your mun at this rate.

[littlehat]

I don't know. It's sort of the opposite...

Why, what happens when you drive off your mun?

[exalt]

Vivi? Are you alright?

[littlehat]

...Dagger?!

I-I'm okay! I'm glad I found you!

[exalt]

I'm glad I found you too! What's this about a place where they'll tear your souls...?

[littlehat]

Apparently once it's out of your body it's like another little creature? But you at the same time?

And they take animal shapes...

[terrarestrial]

What what means?

[littlehat]

Life. Being here... Although maybe it doesn't matter, in a place like this, but...

[terrarestrial]

I agree. It's useless to try to find out, so I wouldn't bother.

[ BLUNT... ]

[littlehat]

...useless?

[privateparts]

What what means? Lots of things mean lots of different things. I probably don't have an answer for most of them, but . . .

[littlehat]

I don't know what I'm here for... It's okay if you don't have an answer.

People here have been very nice...

[privateparts]

There aren't always reasons for these things. Er, but if there are I don't know them. Sorry. You seem really lost.

[littlehat]

N-no, it's okay.

I miss my Grandpa.

[lifelines]

I hate to disappoint you, but sometimes you have to just get out and figure out things for yourself. Honestly, it can be a good deal of fun, as well.

[littlehat]

[Vivi fidgets with his hat.]

The others keep saying that Miss Mun is mean, though... it sounds scary...

[lifelines]

Can't be any worse than the one I deal with on a regular basis. They aren't all bad and even the ones who are eventually lighten up and give you a lot of good things to balance it out.

[littlehat]

R-really? Well... that wouldn't be too bad.

What's yours like?
