Sixth Curse; Video

[trouser_chimp]

 I'm very sorry for bothering everyone with this useless questioning, but I was wondering... does this realm of the gods have a time period as it relates to years? I wanted to know what year it was... because depending on what year it is here, we could celebrate the zodiac animal of that year!

Once we find out the year and the animal, I was thinking maybe Ayame's could have a special discount for a little bit! Bring in the new year's animal, and you get a half of discount! If it's the year of the Ram, you could bring in one of these cute sheep, and then you get half off! Or a pig, or a rat, or a dog! And maybe we can make the dresses styled to the animal! I'd love a kimono with little monkey paws on them, I think that would be very cute!

[Awww, this is the happiest he's been in a while. Who wants to ruin it by pointing out several illogical facts? And if you'd like action, he can be seen sweeping outside of Ayame's dress shop.]

No, I meant - an ox. An ox at your door. When they try to steer the ox in between all the fancy clothing.

[trouser_chimp]

They can be very gentle creatures. I know how to handle them. I've... had some experience.

[extradite]

They're too big. They won't. Fit.

[trouser_chimp]

... Ah!

[now he gets it.]

I've insulted the oxen!

[extradite]

[ Oh, no.

Oh, hell no. ]

How did you do that? This metaphorical oxen that doesn't even exist... how was it insulted?

[trouser_chimp]

By making this offer, and now having to take it back because it won't fit... I've insulted the dear oxen! I'm the absolute worst!

[extradite]

...it's fine. I don't think the oxen.

[ . . . ]

Heard you.

[trouser_chimp]

This was such a bad idea, I should have kept my mouth shut. My eyes shut. My ears and nose shut!

[extradite]

Wouldn't you die, then?

[trouser_chimp]

That would probably be for the best.

[extradite]

...we've been over this, it'd be an inconvenience for the people who had to deal with your remains and your belongings.

[trouser_chimp]

But I don't have any belongings here... and maybe if I died somewhere like on a field or in a river, my body could be used for fertilizer or be washed away!

[extradite]

Are we really discussing your funeral arrangements...

[trouser_chimp]

Not at all, no one would come to my funeral. Rightfully so.

[extradite]

Don't irritate me.

[trouser_chimp]

I'm sorry!

[extradite]

You're not. If you were, you'd stop it. You're just hoping people will look away, if you say you're sorry.

[trouser_chimp]

They should look away, so they don't have to deal with me anymore. my apologies truly are useless...

[extradite]

I don't mind.

[trouser_chimp]

... You don't?

[extradite]

Why would I lie?

[trouser_chimp]

To be kind, I suppose... but then, Shinji is already very kind.

[extradite]

Kind people don't lie.

[trouser_chimp]

What about white lies?

[extradite]

Aren't those spoken because someone arrogantly feels they know what's better for you than you might yourself? That's hardly 'kind.' It's only convenient.
