My word, what are all of you doing here? How rude, to interrupt my vacation like this! If you wish to pass, present me with a reasoned argument about why I should or shouldn't eat you.

You might get drunk if you try.

Want a mojito?

What's there to even eat. Except I guess the adult might have some meat.

Er. . . it would be troublesome because we would fight or run. In contrast, berries and roots do not do those things.

I'm like one of those adorable little shortcakes that's way too cute to actually eat okay. It'd just be a shame.

Present Your Argument

[dramatispersonae]

Re: Present Your Argument

[pitching]

Because it's quite obvious you're a bear with fine tastes.

First off, the fashion of this place is completely outdated. I mean, that's what happens when you only have a missing alcoholic to provide for the fashion requirements of an obviously top-class gentleman--gentlebear. So why would you eat the only people that could possibly provide for new, top-quality attire? Seriously, how long have you had that hat?

Also, being a gentleman means you have standard taste. There's no way you can eat us without us being prepared by a top-class chef. We'll taste like manufactured products otherwise and that tends to taste like sugar and cardboard. Trust me. It's pretty bad.

Bone Yard

[ There are quite a few skeletons here. In fact, they seem to be holding tightly to shovels, buckets, and all the other tools you would need to dig up a treasure. There's a sign here that reads:

TOOLS IN EXCHANGE FOR RUM AND A GOOD STORY ]

Is this really worth it?

Re: Discuss

I don't think they can actually drink any rum successfully.

Re: Discuss

We still have some rum left, right?

Re: Discuss

[pitching]

. . . I think we found the missing alcoholic.

How much rum does it need?

Story Time

Re: Story Time

[DRAWING IN THE SAND AND NARRATING]

Once there was a little dragon.
And once there was a high shelf with a very shiny bottle.


The little dragon wanted the shiny bottle...
but he could not reach.


So the little dragon asked the incest couple if they could reach!


They jumped as high as they could...
but they could not reach.


And he asked the big haunch...


And the eyeless bird...


And the spiny rockzile...


And even the slithering eel...


But nobody was able to reach the shiny bottle.


The little dragon was almost ready to give up!
He had asked everyone that he knew!
And he could not think of what else to do...


But wait! Wait, there was something they had not tried!


If one animal by themself wasn't enough to reach the shiny bottle...
What if all seven worked together?


Everyone agreed that the shiny bottle made a tasty cocktail.
