[He speaks in a calm, even voice, perfectly casual. No one can ever truly get used to losing good friends, it will always hurt, it's always too soon to say goodbye... but it's happened countless times to him, because that's simply the way it is when one is being forgotten by both the living and the dead. He's one of them, los Olvidados. They all swallow their pain, they bury it deep and they carry on, remembering those they've lost as long as they can.

And he is very, very accustomed to living with the pain. What he enjoys and what he wants has nothing to do with it. He's not the only one dealing with it.]

Muffet's also gone. I know she did a lot of the baking, especially for the Denny. I'm not so bad at that myself and I like it, so it's no problem for me to carry on with it. It's just, ah...

[Here comes the shameful part.] I literally have no muscles, I'm not so good at carrying things you probably wouldn't think are heavy. If anyone doesn't mind helping out part of the time, I'd appreciate it.

And there's something of hers I'd like to put up in the Storyteller's temple too, I think they'd like to have it.

[Seems that's all. He doesn't say any more...]

Hello. I, uh, I have a question for the...nonhumans? Is that an okay word?

And the humans, too, I guess, it's really for anyone who has an answer, I'm not going to only listen to one group or anything and-- um. Yeah.

Anyway, I was just...I was wondering how someone could tell if a person isn't human other than just asking? Since that seems kind of rude. O-or I could be wrong, asking could be fine, that's a perfectly okay answer!

...appearance isn't, though. Isn't a good answer, I mean. It's...it's kind of the problem. For me.

[That Feel When EVERYONE looks like a valid instance of your world's version of humans and you really don't want to accidentally be speciesist or rude.]

[You know those pressing, intense questions that keep you up in the middle of the night? Well, this is one such moment and anyone unfortunate enough to be awake, or awakened, during these early morning hours will be hit with an extremely important q from a confused girl.]

What's a joke?

[And, a few seconds later-]

How do you 'prank' someone? Is that a treasure?
