BARITONES

This room is not real.

That's the first thought that crosses your mind as soon as your consciousness comes back up. You're not even sure if that's your own thought, but the feeling doesn't leave no matter how much time has passed. The room looks nice and cozy, but everything feels wrong. You don't belong here, you're you, aren't you?

Aren't you?

You'll soon notice that there are other things that just isn't right. You can talk, but is your mouth moving? You can see, but are your eyes blinking? You also have ball joints. Nothing hurts, and you're fine, but it's a little weird.

No, we'll just get Cosmo to do it!! He's the scholar!

I'm putting him on forced vacation. I'm afraid it falls to you.

[failedsafe]

No way, Emecchi!! I don't know anything about that, so I'm really, really not suitable! And I want to win.

[firstworldproblem]

So vehement. I suppose we will have to find another then.

I do believe you would be good at it. You simply need to try. Take a leap of faith.

I appreciate the vote of confidence but it's like asking a fish to talk about desert life or a stone on what it's like to fly.

[firstworldproblem]

'Tis a good ploy. You can't fail if you don't try after all.

I wonder how you think of us. That we succeed in everything that we attempt.

[failedsafe]

Nooooo, obviously not. Failing is just a part of life? Even gods muck things up from time to time. The point I'm making here is that no one likes it when someone who lacks basic and fundamental knowledge about a subject to go on about it as if they do. That's pretty obnoxious at best and very dangerous at worst.

[He just hums in thought at that.]

[waaaaaaaaaits]
