In a sense, it's surprising that this sort of thing doesn't happen more often. Isn't that so?

The whole place being infested, I mean, with some kind of nightmare creature untouchable by normal means and whatnot. Think about it. All these dozens of people here, some of them have dreadful powers, I'm surprised more of them aren't... bursting the seams.

Too bad we can't turn these monsters against our enemies as easily as they got turned on us, eh?

[phaseshifts]

Catsup, is that better?

[scornful]

Heavens help me. I'm surrounded by deaf and illiterate fools. Do they have schools around here?

[phaseshifts]

Around here? I doubt it. Have you looked at this city?

[scornful]

Oh, I see. No education in wartime.

Did they not have schools where you came from?

[phaseshifts]

[Literally a giggle... help]

Now, now. Don't get tetchy about it.

[scornful]

I can't help it. I'm a philanthropist and the appalling state of education in all countries and all worlds is a personal affront to me. I'm a very angry philanthropist.

[ He doesn't sound angry at all!! ]

[phaseshifts]

Everybody needs a hobby. [He sounds... just as affable as ever. YOU'RE OKAY, CATSOUP.]

The question stands! How are our nightmare visitors treating you?

[scornful]

[ Catsoup is a perfect charming gentleman except for you know the occasional off-handed mention of bloody flaying and what not. ]

Oh, pardon me. I didn't mean to ignore the question, our conversation simply veered away.

Just fine, thank you. It'll take more than the manifested anxieties of some pathetic manchild to weaken my psyche.

Can you believe-- he doesn't even have the decency to deal with them himself.

[phaseshifts]

More fun for the rest of us, isn't it? It might be interesting to test against these things in a place where they... have real power.

[scornful]

Oh? Are you planning on accepting the invitation to his party, then?

[phaseshifts]

I was. I've been feeling a little bored, if you must know.

[scornful]

Well then! [ Catsovi laughs, as if this is the most absurd thing he's heard all day. ] Do have fun with that.

[phaseshifts]

[He laughs back. Whether Catsoup thinks it's nonsense or not, it washes right off Tyki's back.]

Oh, I do expect to!
