What a most curious device. I reckon it's rather like a chain letter though done all at once since there are other people all writing each other on it. There are voice recordings too. I've heard of phonographs, though I didn't expect them to be so compact and versatile...

I think I've got the right of it, but I'm not sure

Y'know they have these great things called guns, right?

[vorpalknifenut]

And I'm sure I'm quite happy for whoever 'they' are, but I'm looking for a knife.

[fallintheriver]

Whatever. Have fun getting in close range to kill anything.

That's what cards are for after all.

[Audio]

[fallintheriver]

[Oh yes, cards, right.]

...Wait, what?

[Audio]

[vorpalknifenut]

You know the expression 'cut the deck'? Think of it somewhat reversed.

[Audio]

[fallintheriver]

What kind of cards are you playing with?

[Audio]

[vorpalknifenut]

The more versatile sort.

[Audio]

[fallintheriver]

Pretty sure they don't sound like cards at all. Just saying.

[Audio]

[vorpalknifenut]

Really? The deck was quite complete and usable for more conventional purposes. Though sometimes for the red cards one had to check the number in the corner. The stains made seeing the symbols a little tricky.

You're weird.

[vorpalknifenut]

So I've been told. It's hardly worth the reminder, but I doubt you're the paragon of plainness yourself.

[Audio]

[fallintheriver]

At least I'm not crazy.

[Audio]

[vorpalknifenut]

I take it not everyone is mad here?

No, just you.

[fallintheriver]

Well, and maybe Zeke.
