[voice] I actually did count the exact number of days.

Day 34.

Everything seems to be normal right now, but I'm on to them. They tried to keep us all inside last week, but I saw them--hordes of goth kids! All covered in black! Man, I could just feel the angst and despair oozing

You're weird.

[namelessidekick]

And proud of it!

[doujinwave]

I ... really don't think... that those were goth kids.

[namelessidekick]

Well, what else could they be?

[doujinwave]

Those might be the strangeling things everyone was talking about.

... Are goth kids really that terrible where you come from?

[namelessidekick]

Pfft, naw! There's just not many of them around. But if you saw that many goth kids at once, wouldn't a creepy black mist just come with the territory?

What gibberish are you spouting now? Those things looked nothing like Germanic tribes of antiquity. They were clearly dark spirits. Why are the students all blithering idiots?

[namelessidekick]

Who said anything about Germany? They couldn't have been German--they weren't sprechensie-ing Deutsch!

[byhook0rbycrook]

[Hook is getting more frustrated the more Ron keeps saying things he doesn't understand.]

I have little idea of what you said and little patience for nonsense. You did mention Germans when you mentioned the Goths. Perhaps you should review your history.

[namelessidekick]

See, now that's just rude and Germanist! Or maybe Gothist. Not all Germans are goths! Just the ones who sing heavy metal.

[howaboutadate]

I'm pretty sure those were Strangelings. Not, uh, goth kids.

[namelessidekick]

Strangelings? You mean like the football team? These kids couldn't have been part of a football team, their shoulders were way too small for that!

[weneedtopaint]

What is a goth kid?

[namelessidekick]

They like wearing black a lot, and some of them wear a lot of makeup. And they talk about ghosts a lot too, and act really sad all the time--

Yeah, I don't really know much about goths, I never really met any. But that many kids in black is a sign!

[weneedtopaint]

A sign!?

And. Ghosts?

These... goth kids. They're special?
