I have to offer my congratulations to whomever is running this show. I know you're listening in so there's no reason to play shy. I'd love to ask you a simple question. Just one and I promise I'll let it be.

On the other hand, I'll have to ask someone more simpler to explain the situation to me. Just the bare basics, if you please. If you remove all the mystery from it, I doubt I'll have any fun. As a first guess, seeing that I'm speaking English now means I'm either in the United States or in England. The climate seems to only support these two countries so it can't be too much of a leap of faith.

Well, am I right?

I'm sorry to hear that.

[numanstan.livejournal.com]

S'alright. Y'get used to it, here.

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

Do you get tired of being the life of the party?

[numanstan.livejournal.com]

... Y'can get tired of that?

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

I'm asking you.

[numanstan.livejournal.com]

I don't reckon it's physically possible...

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

In that case, I'll be counting on you.

[numanstan.livejournal.com]

Alright!

[numanstan.livejournal.com]

... Countin' on me for what?

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

What else but court jester?

... Excuse you?

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

Don't be insulted! Without a jester, the king would never be able to function properly.

[numanstan.livejournal.com]

I'm nobody's fool, mate.

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

Who's really the fool, in the end? The one who assumes the other is a fool or the one being accused?

[numanstan.livejournal.com]

... The fool, yeah? I mean, that's what he's called. It'd be false advertisin' if he wasn't.

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

Then even you would know the fool is the most dangerous of adversaries.

[numanstan.livejournal.com]

Nah, that's sharks. I saw it on telly once.

[wise-king.livejournal.com]

Having seen my fair share of sharks, I was hardly impressed.
