Lesson of the Day : Those People Are Still Weird

[bright_shield]

That's the third time that curse has come around for me, and I'd heard back then that my first time was not its first time. So, four times the strange people have invaded the city, at least. Has any other curse come back so often? I suppose I was kind of hoping that he might have come back like last time too....The first time I just ignored them as

You were saying something about a picnic and that plushie book before, but I got too distracted, so--

Wait, what are you going to do?

[bright_shield]

Well, remember I found that plushie book a couple months ago and we were discussing what it could mean? Like I'd have to sew up a plushie to save the world or something? ...Or everyone could suddenly turn into plushies. Yeah.

Picnic? ... I'm blanking on-- oh! Yes, apparently the city watch is organizing a picnic for the fifteenth of the month.

. . . . and apparently I'm about to make a fool of myself. Again.

[sisknowsbest]

...that was a long time ago, I forgot all about that!

A picnic? That's...really cute, actually! Maybe too cute for the city watch.

Why are you following their advice? They're obviously crazy!

By the way, thanks a lot for leading me on a wild goose chase around the city during that curse!

[bright_shield]

So did I! But it makes me think I need to start paying a bit more attention to the library again. Nngn, all porn last time...

Well, the wardens celebrated with that grand gala after their election, so it kind of fits in with the mood for the current administration. It might help with recruiting in a more leisurely atmosphere too.

. . . but I've tried everything else. It can't hurt to this too. Hopefully.

Eh? What do you mean?

[sisknowsbest]

That last curse? For some reason you decided to go running around outside? I tried following you to stop you, but you ignored me and kept running.

[bright_shield]

Oh that... I was trying to track down a specific pair of visitors while avoiding all the other ones. Never found them before the end of the curse, alas. But you didn't have to follow me, that just put you in the way of the crazy people yourself.

[sisknowsbest]

What would you have done if you tracked them down? They're obviously just out of their minds!

...which is also why you shouldn't follow their advice now. You're lucky I got my fill mowing down those crazy people or I'd come knock you down before you do something stupid... .....actually, I think I will anyway!

[bright_shield]

. . . . I'm sure I could have thought of something.

But there's absolutely nothing wrong with going south-by-southwest into the forest! I go into the forest all the time.

[sisknowsbest]

So you won't mind if I tag along!

[bright_shield]

I think you better, on the very off chance that this thing really does open up a portal back home!

[sisknowsbest]

If it actually works, I'll eat my headband!

[bright_shield]

I think I'll take you up on that if we end up back home. It'd be rather funny if a portal just randomly opened up then too.

[sisknowsbest]

Oh, yeah, it would be hilarious. At least this will teach you not to believe what those people say!

Yeah, those strikes so does not exist.

[bright_shield]

I suggest lots of salt and pepper? Couldn't be as bad as some of the things you've cooked. . . . . and it's not that I actually believe them, I just... need to make certain. It's not like I'd do something really out there if they asked me. Like confess my undying love for Jowy...

[sisknowsbest]

Whatever you say, Riou. I'm coming along to make sure you don't do anything stupid!

[bright_shield]

. . . . anything too stupid? Because I think pimp-slapping a tree might fall into the 'stupid' category.
