Don't go out after dark if you can help it.

If you do, there's no guarantee you'll survive.

Kyuubey.  We need to talk.

[ is that a guitar? must be a once-ler post ]

Halloween is coming up and here you can't assume,
That the stores will have that quality costume
But look not to a store and look to me
'Cause I'll customize one that's the best it can be!

Want to be a princess? I'll make you a gown.
Fully detailed, fluffy, and with a crown.
A suit fully tailored to be a fancy man
Or a realistic Pharaoh-- Make it I can.
Look like food, pinata, a famous rockstar
Have a costume of a robot transformed to a car.
Be it a doctor, sheriff, ballerina, a cat
Any kind of costume with a big silly hat-

I'll sew it, knit it, make props all for you
All for a price of 15.92~~ do do do.

[ and done! he puts the guitar aside and clears his throat ]

Ehem, so! Here is my assistant, Mister Peaches, with an example in little pet form. [ holds up a tiny bunny. the bunny is wearing a very detailed astronaut suit ] Isn't he the cutest little guy you ever saw~?

Is the crime wave over? Can I get back to actually teaching my students again? Yes? Thank you.

Students, our sailing physics project is coming up. We're going to be building boats out of cardboard, yes indeed! I've posted a link to the instructions on Chitter, but I'll have printed copies as well. Don't worry, there won't be any seasickness involved. I hope.

So let me get this straight...

I've been kidnapped. I'll probably never see my family or friends again. You're trying to scar me emotionally by telling me that I'm not real. And on top of all that, you still expect me to go to school? With other students who will never see their family or friends again and are also being told they're not real?

Yeah, sounds completely healthy. This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

-- ake, huh? I felt pretty real before someone decided to snatch me up out of Grazton and bring me to this strange backwater town. This is almost embarrassing!

[ 'Almost' being the keyword here. There's a soft, but very much audible 'tch,' then, in a far more personable tone -- ]

So, who would like to help a cute girl out? You don't have to do much, really. Just answer a few simple questions. Piece of cake, right? Any takers? I don't have all day, you know. There's a lot those humes in the weird get-ups didn't bother to say, like who I have to thank for my current predicament or where 'here' is. Better yet, point me in the direction of the nearest skyport and I'll figure things out from there.

[ As she's leaving, which she has every intention of doing. A short beat, then -- ]

There is a skyport around here, isn't there? I haven't heard a single airship since I woke up in that... hospital. [ Right. Hospital. ] Oh, and Cid? Hurdy? If you're around, let me know. That goes for any other members of Clan Gully who may be lurking around here. The sooner we regroup, the better. I don't intend on wasting any more time here than I have t --

[ And that? That would be the very much audible sound of a stomach rumbling with demands. ]

-- to. Say, does anyone know where I can grab a decent bite to eat? We growing girls have to have our three daily meals, you know!
