Puzzle 014 - Dictated

[tapshoetomove]

Wow, that was pretty scary! First we get taken away to a strange place and then we got chased around by a monster! Or I think it was a monster. I'm not really sure what it is.

Is everyone all right?

[findatree]

What did it look like?

[tapshoetomove]

Like this!

[And Luke will quickly sketch a picture of the monster. Naturally Luke's drawing of it is pretty simplistic-looking, but he tries his best.]

[findatree]

It looks like a scary knight or something. Did it speak?

[tapshoetomove]

It roared. If it could speak, it didn't seem very interested in talking.

[findatree]

Roared...?

[tapshoetomove]

Yeah! It was real loud too, like a real monster roar!

[findatree]

Weird... and scary. Is it still around?

[tapshoetomove]

I don't think it is. I hope it's not anyway.

[findatree]

[not very reassuring, Luke] Uhh. Okay.

[tapshoetomove]

I'm sure if it was someone would've seen it by now. Right?

[findatree]

Yeah! I'm sure you're right.

[whichwayyoulean]

Whoah, wait wait wait. Back up a little there. You got chased by a monster?

[tapshoetomove]

Yeah! It was wearing this scary-looking helmet and carrying guns!

[whichwayyoulean]

And you're okay, right? No injuries? [Luke why must you always end up in danger why]

[tapshoetomove]

[It's what he's good at.]

Nope, I was fine! I saved someone actually!

[whichwayyoulean]

You did, huh? Good job. Who did you save?

[tapshoetomove]

Conan! The monster shot at him, so I distracted it!

[whichwayyoulean]

...Wait the little bratty kid?

[tapshoetomove]

That's not a very nice name to call him. But yes, he hurt his leg so I carried him to safety!

[whichwayyoulean]

It's a well deserved name.

...Guess it's good he's okay, though. Good job, kiddo.

[whistles_the_blues]

...Did I miss something?

[tapshoetomove]

[Luke hesitates a little before answering.]

Um well, while we were in Tokyo, a few of us got kidnapped to this weird place where it was just us and this scary-looking monster.

[whistles_the_blues]

[This is something he hadn't heard about.]

You have a habit of getting into these situations, don't you?

[tapshoetomove]

It's not like I ask for it! I just wanted a nice vacation where there weren't any dinosaurs or monsters!

[whistles_the_blues]

You may have to get yourself kidnapped by another magical castle for that happen.

[tapshoetomove]

I don't want to get kidnapped by another magical castle, I want this one to give us all a break!

[whistles_the_blues]

Despite what it's done, some may still consider this to be a break from where they're really from.

[tapshoetomove]

Huh? What do you mean?

[whistles_the_blues]

Plain and simple? There are worse places than here.

[tapshoetomove]

You mean like the scary space ship?

[whistles_the_blues]

Yeah... Places just like that.

[deductiongeek]

Did you make it out okay?

[tapshoetomove]

Uh-huh, I was fine!

...More importantly, did you make it out okay? Someone treated your leg, didn't they?

[deductiongeek]

Yeah, I'll be fine. I called a doctor as soon as we got back.

[tapshoetomove]

I'm relieved to hear it. I was pretty worried...

I'll come visit you, okay?

[deductiongeek]

If you want. I should be fine in a few days.

[tapshoetomove]

I'll drop by a lot sooner then that.

[And he'll bring a get well gift too.]

[deductiongeek]

If you want to.

[Conan was just irritated about being stuck in bed again.]

[tapshoetomove]

I do want to. So what's your favorite snack?

[deductiongeek]

I don't really have one. Bring whatever you want.

[tapshoetomove]

...You don't have anything in particular you want to eat?

[deductiongeek]

Not really.

[Conan tended to think of food as fuel first. Taste was a distant secondary consideration.]
