Twenty Purple Files

[proudambassador]

This gold monstrosity, this, it is not a cape.

It is a death trap.

Six times I have tripped! SIX! And my work, it is over the bridges! I begin to think the Sphere wishes for me to fall to my death because of a cape! Who even wears a cape, hm? A cape, it has no use. It has no function. Except to get under my feet.

I don't suppose you've tried cutting it off.

[proudambassador]

Twice, yes. It was restored nearly instantly.

[sixthsinner]

Too bad. Well, I'm sure you look very regal.

[proudambassador]

Regal, yes. Stupid, also yes.

[sixthsinner]

There's a difference between the two?

[proudambassador]

It is a very small difference sometimes, not even enough to mention on those times. Except this, it is paper, and not visual, hm? So you cannot see. So I must make this clear.

[sixthsinner]

You could always draw me a picture. I hear those speak a thousand words. That's efficiency for you.

[sixthsinner]

I'll be.

[A pause.]

That's pretty stupid, all right.

:D

[proudambassador]

Yes. That is why I called it stupid, hm?

[sixthsinner]

You are a man of your word!

[proudambassador]

A Centauri of my word, let us say instead.
