hypothetical question.

how do you get a one-armed goblin out of a tree?

screw you

[sketchery]

did nott lose an arm????

oh no, poor nott!! keep the arm, i'll be right there!!!!!

you're not the boss of me

[carney]

["You wave at them," that's the answer, Jester. But okay.]

answer quickly, now! preferably something that doesn't involve climbing.

[Because that means getting more creative, mostly.]

>:C >:C >:C >:C >:C

[sketchery]

[ This is more fun lbr ]

tell her that you have her arm!! and it has rings on it!!! make sure she's lying down!!!

1/???

[carney]

a solid approach! hold on just a minute, I might need both hands for this.

2/???????

[carney]

[A pause.]

3/????????

[carney]

[At least a couple minutes long, for drama.

He definitely said this was hypothetical, in his defense.]

4/4

[carney]

nope. nope! no rings at all, time for plan B, have you got one?

[sketchery]

[ You're lying to yourself if you thought Jester would've kept silent for a few minutes ]

[sketchery]

is she bleeding a lot?????????

[carney]

[leaves her on Read]

[carney]

hard to tell from this distance

how much is a lot

be descriptive

[sketchery]

like if there's

a lot of blood

if there's more red than green i guess

surprise

[sketchery]

[ 30 seconds later, here's a crudely drawn sketch of a one armed goblin with a porcelain mask lying down in a MASSIVE PUDDLE OF BLOOD AROUND HER that is also in a tree


i don't make the rules ok ]

[carney]

excellent. that'll do.

[carney]

[A minute or so later, the image returns—with the addendum of a colorful purple figure at the base of the tree wielding a stubby green arm...

...and a whole lot more blood dripping down from the branches.

So it's like that, apparently.]

[sketchery]

[ great thanks for texting her in the middle of this apparent crisis i guess ]

so it's like, super lots of blood?? was there a trap in the tree?????

[carney]

[Hypothetical crisis.

Technically.]

I don't think it appreciated getting climbed like a ladder.

[Hypothetically.]

so, yes and no.

[What if the tree was the trap. That would make for a hell of a story.]

[sketchery]

oh. oh no.

nott didn't ask the tree before she could climb it, did she? :(

[carney]

[yeah, sure.]

terribly rude of her, in hindsight.

[sketchery]

[ hello and welcome to this brand new turn in conversation. ]

yeah! trees are very serious about that kind of thing, you know. nott should have technically known that, technically.

[ is this victim blaming for a hypothetical scenario, you bet. ]
