[more_surreal]

[I'M SORRY DID SOMEBODY ORDER MORE EMOTIONLESS STARING INSTEAD OF AN ACTUAL RESPONSE]

Everything she does from now on is on your head

[more_surreal]

[Oh she's not responding. Clearly this calls for verbal abuse.]

HELL-OOOOOOOO! Earth to weird red-eyed girl! I'm asking you a question here! What, did the Porter give you the power of not understanding English or something?

Hi Lyra, hi Pan! [waves] Don't worry, I'm not going to burn the park. I love this place! I'm just going to make sure we can all have a lot of fun when winter comes.

[more_surreal]

I'm going to carry out a great sacrifice to appease the almighty great and terrible snow demons! With this many leaves being burned, they're sure to reward us with a lot of snow this winter.

[more_surreal]

[Offhand, not really looking away from the leaves] Demonic sacrifice. Wanna help?

[more_surreal]

The great and terrible snow demons, so that they will take pity on our unworthy selves and grace us with a long, cold, snowy winter. The good kind of snow too, not that fluffy stuff you can't make anything out of.

[Happens to be passing by. Oh look a pile of leaves! Urge to jump in risi-Running to jump in now.]

[more_surreal]

[Is aghast]

MY PILE! What the heck are you doing? Do you have any idea what you've done? Now I have to rake it back up even bigger to apologize to the snow demons!

[cursedname]

[Ogo's head pops up out of the pile. He tilts it to the side, clearly confused by this mention of snow demons.]

What?

[more_surreal]

The snow demons! You know, the deities you've just angered by disrespecting their sacrifice! Buddy, if I have a winter with no snow days because of this, you and me are gonna have words.

[Fixing a Mom-look on him, and crossing her arms.]

Where on earth did you get kerosene?

[more_surreal]

The garage. Harvey's really good at keeping most things away from me, but with Billy around it's pretty easy to create a distraction.

[justlikeherson]

[One hand goes to her forehead.]

Did it ever occur to you that he might have a good reason for keeping kerosene out of your reach? Like the fact it's dangerous?

[more_surreal]

Oh, everything in this City's dangerous. I can't avoid it all, or else I'll never get anything done. Especially not important stuff like this!
