[ Outside of her house on Beaver St., Hungary seems to be putting together some kind of lemonade stand. A card table, a chair, a large mixing bowl of water, a wooden cross likely stolen from the town's church, and a banner made of Japan's living room curtains, hanging limp in the lack of breeze and strung between a broom and a mop (both buried

[Next door, Coraline notices the whole set up and approaches curiously. She turns her head as she reads the banner aloud.]

Conversiens..conversations? and ba-pet-zems? Er. What are you selling?

[itwillgrow]

I'm not selling anything; it's free!

[spunky_explorer]

Can I see one of these ba-pet-zems then?

[itwillgrow]

[ Blink. And then she gestures to the bowl of water. ] I baptize you.

[spunky_explorer]

Oh, baptisms!

Uhm. Is this legal? I thought you had to go to a church or something to do these.

[itwillgrow]

The church here is heretical.

[spunky_explorer]

Yeah? How so?

[itwillgrow]

It seems to change, and it's not Catholic.

Besides, I have permission from God to do Crusades; this is pretty much the same idea. Except without as much burning. So far.

[spunky_explorer]

What do you mean so far! Have you already burned stuff down?

[itwillgrow]

Not here!

[spunky_explorer]

Was about to say...

So, do your assigned 'parents' know you're doing this? I thought it was only guys in long black robes and white collars that did baptisms-- not young girls.

[itwillgrow]

I'm a boy!

[spunky_explorer]

. . . [She stares for a VERY long time before finally patting him on the shoulder.]

You're very pretty for a boy then!

[itwillgrow]

[ HORROR

SO MUCH

HORROR yeah she thinks she's a boy it's fun. ]

W- What.

[spunky_explorer]

You heard me! I said you're pretty for a boy. You've got that whole. . .

[She pauses, not quite sure how to describe it.]

Well, you just look girly. Let's put it that way. Like if someone stuck you in a dress and put a giant bow in your hair you could blend in a crowd of girls easily.

[itwillgrow]

No way! You're wrong! I'm a boy! That sort of thing is illegal and creepy!
