Black Belt's (Lack Of A) Sense of Direction Leads to More Trouble
Cast Appearing[]
| Meanwhile, deep in some forest somewhere... | |
| Black Belt | So... are we there yet? |
| White Mage | If we were, you certainly wouldn't know, would you? |
| Black Belt | You're not still mad, are you? |
| White Mage | Mad? Why would I be mad? |
| White Mage | All we had to do was wake up in Elfland and then follow the Light Warriors out. |
| White Mage | Here it is I-don't-know-how-much-later and we're wandering around what I can only assume is still Elfland based solely on the face that we haven't bumped into an ocean yet. |
| Black Belt | You are still mad about us getting lost, aren't you? |
| White Mage | No, Black Belt. Why would I be upset that your pathological inability to follow so much as the most obvious of trails turned a simple tailing into the Jungle Crawl of No Escape. |
| White Mage | I can't remember the last time we saw any signs of civilization much less the Warriors we're supposed to be keeping an eye on! What could I be upset about hmm? |
| Black Belt | This isn't about what happened in the castle, is it? |
| Flashback to Elfland Castle. Black Belt is walking through the throne room. | |
| Black Belt | Man, where's the fuggin' bathroom in this elven labyrinth? |
| Black Belt | Ooh, a crown. Ooh, a balcony. Ooh, a throng of elves. |
| Throng of Elves | All hail King Elf! |
| Cut back to the present. | |
| Black Belt | They could hardly see me, that balcony was so high up. And how often does a regular shmoe elf see the King up close anyway? |
| Black Belt | All they know is that there is a king. They don't know or particularly care who it is. |
| Black Belt | More to the point, they don't need to know. |
| Black Belt | The idea of a King is good for their economy and that's what counts. That, and we got away with our lives. |
| White Mage | True... |
