Red Mage doesn't explain what the thumping sound is...
Cast Appearing[]
Setting[]
- Bikke's Pirate Ship, Aldi Sea
Script[]
| Red Mage | I wouldn't worry about it. Fanged death from the sea is quite routine. |
| Black Mage | Routine. I see. Pretend for a moment that I'm your typical conjurer of dark arts. |
| THUMP! | |
| Black Mage | And, as a result, have about as much business on a sea going vessel as a pretty unicorn princess. |
| Red Mage | Done. |
| Black Mage | Thank you, now-- Wait!
Should I be worried, impressed, or insulted that you could so easily imagine me as a pretty unicorn princess? |
| THUMP! | |
| Red Mage | Well, the resemlence is remarkable, actually. |
| Black Mage | Just get on with it! |
| THUMP! THUMP! | |
| Black Mage | Explain, in simple terms, how "fanged death from the depths" could ever be routine. |
| Red Mage | Well, first, it's a bit misleading to refer to the Aldi Sea as "the depths" since it is an extremely shallow body of water. |
| THUMP! | |
| Red Mage | In fact, nauticologists refer to it as the "fishin' hole of the world".
This is also misleading because no one in their right mind would be caught dead fishing in the Aldi. |
| THUMP! | |
| Red Mage | It's so full of pollutants and magical runoff from nation-states such as Corneria, Pravoka, Elfland and, until recently, Prontera, that-- |
| Black Mage | SHUT UP! |
| THUMP! | |
| Black Mage | Get to the fanged death or you will become intimately familiar with stabbity death. |
| Red Mage | Tsk. There's no need to yell. |
