iF, uHH, tHAT'S STILL A THING THAT YOU'RE INTERESTED IN,

[dicey]

[no1troll]

[He didn't plan for this! He draws a third line off of the 'propose friendship' box, and a 'maybe??' box connected to it.]

[no1troll]

wELL,
i HAVE TO MAKE IT SLEEPY, jUST IN CASE IT DECIDES TO IGNORE THE THINGS i ASK IT TO DO,
sOMETIMES EVEN MY POWERS DON'T WORK ON IT ALL THE WAY,,,
bUT AFTER THE FIRST FEW INCIDENTS, i THINK WE'RE FRIENDS NOW,
iN A SOMEWHAT RISKY KIND OF WAY, wHEREIN IT STILL WANTS TO DEVOUR ME WHEN i BOTHER IT TOO MUCH,

[dicey]

May8e we could fight it! ::::) That would 8e cool, right?

[no1troll]

uHH,

[dicey]

8ut I think Hanna would 8e mad if we did. 8luh.

[no1troll]

tHAT'S, a SHAME,
bUT i DON'T THINK YOU'D WANT TO FIGHT IT, aNYWAY, oNCE YOU MET IT,
sQUID-tAN IS VERY MAGNIFICENT,
i THINK, jUST BEHOLDING IT IS COOL ENOUGH,

oh Tavros

[dicey]

May8e we can do it if I get mad at him and decide not to listen to him sometime!

8eholding it sounds a little dull.

[no1troll]

fOR TREASURE,
pERHAPS SOME FEROCIOUS MONSTER WILL TRY AND ATTACK US OUT THERE,
wHICH MIGHT BE EXCITING,

[dicey]

Yes! ::::D That is definitely my kind of thing. I'll 8ring that up with him today, and if he has a pro8lem with it I 8et I can convince him anyway! So we should start making plans right now.

[no1troll]

i WAS THINKING, pROBABLY MOST PLACES REALLY CLOSE TO THE CITY HAVE ALREADY BEEN LOOTED, rIGHT,
bUT, iF THERE WAS A WAY WE COULD GO FURTHER,
wE COULD FIND BETTER, uH, bOOTY,
sOOO, dO YOU KNOW HOW TO RIDE,

[dicey]

Oh.

Farther?

Uh.

I don't want to go too far. ::::\ If you do, sometimes things are weird when you come 8ack.

[no1troll]

oH,
i'VE NEVER GONE OUT VERY FAR BEFORE,
i ALMOST DID, oNE TIME, bUT i GUESS IT'S A GOOD THING i RAN INTO NEPETA INSTEAD,
hMM,
hOW DO YOU KNOW HOW FAR IS SAFE,

[dicey]

No.

I like to stay close enough to still see the city.

[no1troll]

wHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU'RE OUT TOO FAR,
i'VE HEARD PEOPLE MENTIONING TIME THINGS, bUT i THOUGHT THEY MUST HAVE RUN AFOUL OF SOMETHING, sOME SPIRIT OR MONSTER,
iS IT THE WILDS THEMSELVES THAT DO IT,

[dicey]

I don't know, I guess. 8ut time gets all messed up. You can think you've only 8een gone for a few hours, and then you get home and you find out it's 8een days! Or weeks.

[no1troll]

dID IT EVER HAPPEN TO YOU,

[dicey]

No, and I don't want it to.
