something sprung a leak
sorry about that

maybe that will drown them

but the place looked dirty anyway

might as well clean it

it's dark, too dark to see

it's very hard to get a plumber in here

[Chuckle.]

Any kingdom needs its fools, of course.

[adstring_npc]

we're happy you accepted the position

[population_ctrl]

Of course, of course. So long as you're having fun.

[adstring_npc]

we are!
sometimes

sometimes we forget

[population_ctrl]

Tragic. How do you deal with that?

[adstring_npc]

by forgetting
sometimes it takes care of itself

[population_ctrl]

How easy. Do you even want to leave at all?

[adstring_npc]

yes

[population_ctrl]

Let's hope you never do.

[adstring_npc]

why

[population_ctrl]

Oh come now. What sort of world would benefit from your presence?

[adstring_npc]

why does that matter
the world's there to benefit us

[population_ctrl]

[Laughing out loud at that.]

And yet, here you are.

[adstring_npc]

here we are

and the world too
even if it's not the right one

[population_ctrl]

Do you all come from the same world, originally?

[adstring_npc]

no world would be large enough
