( there's a slight sound of rustling after the feed clicks on, as oz makes himself more comfortable on a seat in the observatory. why he's there late at night — night by circadian rhythms, anyway, simulated nights on the moon — is anyone's guess, or maybe it's obvious enough. in any case, when he speaks up a moment later, he sounds to be in a good enough mood. )

What's your favorite story? Scary ones are probably best for late at night, but what I really want to hear about are everyone's favorites. For instance, something about a princess and a dragon, or maybe a mystery with a twist ending, or something out of history....ah, if you make it up or adapt it from a book, that's fine too! Or even if it's a real one that's happened to someone you know, ( and a light laugh ) — don't worry, I don't tell anyone!

But it's rude to ask without giving my own preference, right? I can start with mine, if anyone wants.

( he'll tell people about holy knight. all about it!!!! don't ask him about it. )

And he flew?

After he'd started to fall! Then it was like the air under him grew solid, and Rudolph was running out over the sea! Can you imagine?

( rhetorically asked, with a shake of her head to follow. )

He didn't stop running until he hit inland of the shore on the island they'd both seen, thinking at last! The Yeti couldn't follow them there. Really, the Yeti just knew a different way to get to the island, and determined to tell them about their mistake and apologize for scaring them, the Yeti was headed off that way to catch up later.

But they didn't know that, so they started looking for someplace to spend the night.
