Cast Appearing[]
Setting[]
- In a forest, on the way to Pravoka
Script[]
| Black Mage | Wait, wait, wait. How'd you get in there anyway? |
| Fighter | What do you mean? |
| Black Mage | What do I mean?! I mean a big heavy damn chunk of furniture fell from a great height onto your cavernous skull! |
| Fighter | Exactly. |
| Black Mage | So how did you get inside it, and, more to the point, why aren't you dead! |
| Fighter | Well of course I'm not dead. Don't you watch cartoon, BM? This sort of thing happens all the time. |
| Black Mage looks at Fighter, then looks down on the floor, then looks at the others before coming back to Fighter. | |
| Black Mage | You realize that doesn't actually answer the question. |
| Fighter | Oh, but I think it does. |
| Black Mage | Okay, but it really doesn't. |
| Red Mage | Unless... |
| Black Mage | Aww crud. |
| Red Mage | Fighter's overwhelming belief in the absurd laws that govern cartoon physics may have been so powerful that it influenced the quantum probability of his location so that he was inside the armoire once we observed him to still exist. Schroedinger's Fighter, if you will. |
| A schematic diagram shows Red Mage's reasoning. | |
| Fighter | Exactly! Plus, the bottom of it was made out of cheap particle board. |
| Black Mage | You depress me. |
