Scared all of them off?

[???]

Is there a reason I should be scared? Did you do something creepy?

[ the shorter one laughs. they speak in a similar accent, but it also seems like... australian? ]

Oh, no, no, we're delightful company! If you think so you've got outstanding taste. It's just we've got a bit of a war on.

Between you two, or between you and-

[waves a hand u know]

Between us and anyone from offworld who thinks they have a claim to treat Aruuv as theirs, of course. Which is to say, we're allies of the Honorable Lady Naarabot.

...

[does Wifi know who Naarabot is???

????????????????????????]

Oh okay. Yeah, that sounds like it'd be annoying having to deal with anyone like that.

[ who is "Lochaana Naarabot"? fushigi mystery~~~ ]

Oh, we're so glad you understand! If you wouldn't mind putting some aid toward our cause, we could make it worth your while.

I mean, like, what does "aid" mean? Like do you mean your war stuff cuz uh, I've known you for like three minutes.

Well, political aid could help us end this war amicably. I'm sure if Lochaana was here she'd be saying "swaying public opinion's a way of waging war, too," or something like that.

Oh. Yeah, that's true. Or at least, I've been told similar stuff before.

[In fact, many times.]

[ funny how that works out. ]

Well, if you have any influence in the realm of politics or high society, we'd be happy to trade you. A little sway can go a long way~

[ They will, as a couple, offer you a 1:1 trade of Politics or High Society influence toward influence in the categories of "the canals must flow," "all is fair in love and war," or "pride goeth before a fall." ]

Huh.

Which ones do you like?

Mm... well, "The Canals Must Flow" has always been our way, hasn't it, dear?

[Oh. That even sounds MORE familiar. It's on the tip of his tongue . . . ]

Sure, we can trade 1 of the politics things for 1 of those. Variety is probably good I imagine.

Canals, huh...

They're the lifeblood of our very first planet! So if they must, they must, no matter what,don't you think?

[ you have learned one (1) martian saying, which counts for the words goal

you also get 1x "The Canals Must Flow" influence. ]

They must, they must.

...

...

...

AHHHHHHHH, I figured it out!!!

[ they both tilt their heads at you, as if observing a fascinating new Terran behavior heretofore unknown to them. ]

[Mutters to himself, "this is gonna end up being a paiiiiiiiiiiin"]

Err, NOTHING!! Nothing!! I just realized I'm an idiot!! Thanks for your help though, you should take care of yourself!! Don't let anybody bully you, otherwise bully them back!!

Oh, we definitely will! That's just exactly what we're here to do.
