Has anyone tried talking to them?

[ a long pause. ]

It just seems... it just seems as if maybe they might be scared of us too. And it might be all a misunderstanding, except no one's stopping for a moment to ask, or try, or...

[sparkling_by]

Right. That's... that's certainly.

Well, you know...

Sorry, sorry. My bad.

A disorganized host is an unseemly creature to behold. Please excuse me.
