Does anyone know a better way to convince people that monsters and demons are real than by summoning a giant fly and scaring somebody nearly to death? I feel a little bad for him, but I don't want him to really be hurt, and better something that listens to me than something that will actually attack.

[Under his breath:] Maybe I should have tried Lilim. ...That'd be scary in a different way. [He shrugs and moves on.]

My name is Aleph, if we haven't met. I'll add my services as a swordplay and gun instructor to the list of people offering. I have pretty good credentials. I'm also willing to spar with anyone who wants to keep in practice, especially if they'd prefer to fight a group.

What else did I want to say for this... oh.

Why orange?

He didn't give me his name, but a brunette teenager in a suit that I met after he didn't obey the oatmeal rule. He's probably fine, and not feeling sick anymore. And I didn't hurt him at all.

[littlesound]

Huh, okay.... okay!

[She smiles, apparently satisfied with Aleph's answer.]

You've gotta get used to things around here quick! It's not nice to scare people, but... there's even worse stuff going on here. So it's okay!

He ate his oatmeal, right?

[alephbet]

I hope so. I told him he had to, and he obviously didn't enjoy being sick, so I'm sure he listened.

[littlesound]

It's gross, but you kind of have to... and then you can have a real breakfast!

[She brightens even further.]

We can do that, now! There's real food, now! It's great!

[alephbet]

And it's not all pumpkin-flavored. I was getting sick of that.

[littlesound]

Sonata was, too! Sonata never wants to eat another pumpkin seed EVER AGAIN.

[alephbet]

Me neither. Not even next year.

[littlesound]

Bleh!

...we're not still gonna be here next year, are we?

[alephbet]

I don't know. Probably not.

[That would mean spending half his life in this tower...]

[littlesound]

Good! Sonata wants to go home! Home's gotta be out there! It's not gone. It's not.

[alephbet]

It's definitely not. Don't worry.
