[Well lookie here, it's Crow. If he's noticed that his guide is on, he doesn't show it. He's too busy being a good worker this time as it seems he actually has shown up for his job this month as a Library Storyteller, reading to the kids. Such a nice guy...]

So Peter Pan and his friends were able to beat Captain Hook and his band of pirates--which

You're not very good at reading stories, are you?

[farewellcircus]

Hey, it's not my fault that these kids can't appreciate stories about pirates. They're way more exciting to read about than "talking animals" or whatever it was one of them wanted before...

[video]

[stumblelies]

Hey, talking animals are pretty cool! It shows how smart they are to evolve in that way!

If it were me, I'd probably want a story about a cool magician who saved the world with his intelligence. Yeah, that sounds pretty great. Why not read them something like that? Or make it up on your own?

[video]

[farewellcircus]

Eh? A magician? Magic's cool and all, but unless they're magic pirates or robots or something, then I don't see how they could be cooler than that. [Biased towards pirates much?]

As for making up my own, I tried something like that, but they kept interrupting me to ask questions before I could even finish telling the story, so I've just been reading these books instead. It's admittedly easier and less annoying...

[stumblelies]

I don't think magic pirates and robots even exist, so that would be quite the fairy tale, wouldn't it?

Geeze.... Did you know you were gonna work with kids? It's common knowledge that most of them ask question every two minutes.

[Honestly? He had thought he was just getting paid to read books. He had no idea that he had to read books to kids.]

Doesn't make them any less bothersome even with knowing that. Don't their parents teach them that it's rude to interrupt people when they're trying to say something important? [Which is pretty much the pot calling the kettle black here]

[ Genis is just assuming the kids were part of the job since they're all hangin' out there. ]

...What you were saying was that important? Weren't you just talking about pirates?

[ Oh no he didn't. ]

[video]

[farewellcircus]

[>:(]

Tch, are you really that dense? Pirates are important! They're the best adventurers out there with the most amazing stories to tell! Everyone, especially this dumb kids, should be grateful to get to hear such awesome stories about them!

[video]

[stumblelies]

No way! Magicians are way cooler.

[ Nodding firmly for emphasis! ]

[video]

[farewellcircus]

Heh, as if! Pirates get to discover huge amounts of treasure and go on exciting adventures across the seas and explore tons of cool places. Magicians can't possibly compare to that.

[video]

[stumblelies]

What are you talking about? There's nothing stopping a magician from boarding a boat and going out to sea to explore! Besides, who do you think made the treasure pirates find?

[ Other pirates, maybe? No! ]

Magicians!

[video]

[farewellcircus]

[...He hadn't actually thought of that possibility, whether it's true or not. BUT HE REFUSES LOSE THIS ARGUMENT DAMNIT]

Oh yeah? If that's true, then why would they just leave it out in places for pirates to find or steal? Wouldn't they wanna keep all that valuable treasure for themselves?

[video]

[stumblelies]

Because obviously, they can curse some of the treasure! Then when pirates take that treasure, they'll be cursed. That way they'll learn their lesson: the sea isn't just for pirates!

[ No, who cares about "You shouldn't steal treasure!" ]

I don't recall any stories about magicians ending up being cursed because of finding treasure.

[ Maybe Dumbledore doesn't count. ]
