--ast it, what's the command to start? I said start already so--oh. Right.

*Why is this text to audio? Because he activated a extra accessory in his tech scroll? Because his device is smart enough to realize it's dealing with an idiot? Who can tell?*

Bet a lotta ya ain't up to hearing a sob story or a question about seein friends, huh? Gleamed a bit of this network stuff--pretty weird. Last I saw, computers couldn't do nothing but make flag waving images. Anyway, I think I got something most of you want:

A clue.

So none o'these native folks are especially talkative about this place, right? Well in my exploring, I ran across some weirdoes of varying sizes in some trees. Looked like fairies, so I guess they're fairies. That's not important.

The fact they're hostile? Totally important. Only people with somethin' to hide get that angry about an innocent guy mindin' their own business. But, see, there just so happens to be a lot of the big and lil buggers. So whaddaya say? Help a guy form an interrogation party to uncover what they know so we can blow this popsicle stand.

Stop. Tch, that'll learn those lousy brats--dousin a guy in honey and beez while he's sleepin--

*And the feed ends.*

You want to interrogate fairies. You might want to take a step back and actually think about that for a moment and realize how ridiculous that sounds.

Y'wanna ignore a lead. May wanna take a moment to consider how silly that sounds, man. Where do you hide treasure? Behind a ferocious, beastly set o'guards!

I don't think they're the lead you think they are. Yeah beastly creatures might guard treasure, but I doubt fairies count no matter how vicious they might be.

You're probably going to cause yourself more trouble in the long run.

*You sound cautious. You poor soul. 8D*

C'mon, man. Nothin' ventured, nothing gained. You think we'll find out what they do or don't have by not investigating them with smoke?

*That almost sounded reasonable. Almost.*

[It just means he gets into less fights.]

And what if they're just annoyed by all the new people showing up in their woods? Would you like it if someone barged into your house and made themselves right at home?

[Almost.]

It's happened. Most times they at least wait till they're back in the yard t'pull their weapons.

*Straight face.*

....Are you serious?

Why wouldn't I be? *Welcome to the life of Ranma Saotome. Please keep all hands and feat in the vehicle. The carnies are not responsible for any split sides or extreme bouts of Schadenfreude.*

[Congratulations Ranma, you've left Duncan speechless for several long moments.]

Seriously. What kind of world did you come from?

Nermia, Japan?

*This is a thing he is very used to.*

...A place in Japan.

[Yeah, even though he doesn't recognize the place, the country makes him think. Well, some of the weirdest things do come from there... so why... not?]

Right. And just why do people barge into your home with weapons anyway?

Usually t'issue a challenge. Or go after the old goat fer something he did to their sister or wives or daughters. It ends up in my lap one way or the other, anyway. That's th'destiny of being the head of the Saotome School of Martial Arts.

Old goat? Let me guess, your dad causes trouble for you.

[Pause.]

...What kind of martial arts?
