[His voice is oddly calm for someone who was just kidnapped from his own world and shoved into a 1950's American suburb (although he's definitely not holding back the sarcasm or irritation). It's that infamous poker face at work, and although he's freaking out on the inside and forcing the gears of his brain to concoct some sort of escape plan, he'

Oh, really? What kind of performance is it?

And I don't know if there is a way out of here. No one's found one, at least...

[kaitopants]

Eh? Er, a magic show!

No way out? That's stupid, if there's a way in, there at least three different ways out.

[whatthequack]

Oh wow! That sounds really neat!

Heh heh, yeah, sometimes there are five ways out but they're really only ways in.

[kaitopants]

'Course it is! If only I had my magic effects, I could so you...

Sometimes there are even ten, if you're creative and know where to look!

[whatthequack]

Yeah, I've seen some ballet shows, but I've never seen a performance that was all magic before!

Oh wow... I don't think anyone knows where to look, though.

[kaitopants]

You've never seen a magician perform before?

That's becuase they haven't been looking hard enough!

[whatthequack]

Nope. I didn't know they did shows like that, actually.

...You think so?

[kaitopants]

You don't know what you're missing!

I know so.

[whatthequack]

Ha ha, I guess I don't.

So... maybe if everyone starts looking really hard, you think we'll find the way out of here?

[kaitopants]

Oi, do you have a deck of cards? I could show you then!

Of course I do. Like I said, if there's a way in? There's a way out.

[whatthequack]

Um, no. Sorry...

I guess that's true! Unless there's a wall all around the city or something.

[kaitopants]

What about a coin? Or something else small?

Walls can be climbed, you know!

[whatthequack]

Uh... [She glances from side to side quickly, trying to remember what of the posessions that weren't really hers she had on hand.] I think I might have a pencil...

Yeah, unless they're really big and cover everything, you know?

[kaitopants]

A pencil will work!

Even then you could find your way around it eventually!

[whatthequack]

Really? Wow, you must have some interesting magic, then!

Um, I guess you might...

[kaitopants]

It's the best magic there is! Er, what's your name?
