I'm not allowed to take breaks? D= We can't all go without food like Uberbob, you know.
I got back on my feet and felt the cool rush of my blood as it poured back into circulation. "The herbs in the garden were poisoned," I told the Canadian girl.
"That sucks," she replied.
"Were," I added. "They WERE poisoned. We Dispelled the poison."
"Well aren't you awesome?" she said sarcastically.
"I sure am!" I said as I reached into my pocket. "Hold on, let me find my pendant..."
I suddenly found myself being dragged out of the laundromat by Araches. While I was outside, I decided to look North. To the North was a sharp cliff that dropped directly down to the sea. Jutting out of the waters below were several jagged rocks. I made a mental note not to jump from there, unless of course I was being chased by Alien Demon Vampires. While I had ADVs on my mind I decided to ask the all-knowing Fooruman for info on the subject. "Are any Alien Demon Vampires scheduled to attack today?"
"Wherever there are stupid people saying stupid things, Alien Demon Vampires can be found," he replied. His white beard and purple dress convinced me that he knew what he was talking about.
I then shook free of Araches' grasp and ran back into the laundromat. "What do you know about the garden and its herbs?!" I asked the Canadian girl.
"It's a garden," she replied, "and it's got herbs. People tend to go there when they're feeling lost... spiritually lost, I mean. It helps them to sit among the flowers and reflect on life."
"Would you like to go into the garden for old time's sake?" I asked.
"I wanted to earlier," she replied, "but not so much now."
Araches suddenly stormed inside. She smacked her hand down on the table and looked the girl straight in the eye. "Are you a lesbian?" she asked very bluntly.
"That's none of your business," the girl replied.
Araches looked around and saw that all the Canadians were staring at her. She gave a nervous little laugh, then slowly backed out of the laundromat.
"Don't mind her," I told the girl. "She's so in love with me, it drives her crazy sometimes." I ran back outside, passing Araches as she banged her head against the side of the building. "There'll be plenty of time for that later!" I exclaimed. "Follow me to... CANADIANGUY!"
I rushed the whole party South into the town square. I sought out the confused Canadian man we had met ealier, then asked him to tell me everything he knew.
"Oh, ey, that'll take a while, fer sure," he said as he thoughtfully rubbed his chin. "Well fer starters, dija know that ya can't sneeze with yer eyes open?"
I gasped. "I had no idea! Please, Mr. Canadian, continue!"
"Erm, well..." He stumbled for words. "Ta be honest with ya, there, I'm kinda confused. I don't know which way I'm goin'. Ya'ever get that feelin'?"
"Nope, never," I replied. "I always know EXACTLY what I'm doing, and why I'm doing it."
