You might still be, I am a swordsman. And I think being able to repair my blade with magic is close enough to it being indestructible.

I'm turning tail as soon as you start singing.

Managed to escape it so far...can't make any promises, though. Random musical numbers are sort of a thing here.

I'm glad my brother isn't here. His singing voice could peel paint.

Small miracles, I guess. Take what you can get when you're stuck, right?

Exactly. Besides, you'd look ridiculous trying to ride me, it would be like a Greek Comedy.

I think you're getting your definitions of comedy mixed up. Comedy traditionally referenced any play with a reasonably happy ending.

I'm...uh...something of a fan of movies and theater.

Perhaps, it stands to reason that some details would get distorted over the years. I was referring to more the slapstick routines from some of them.

I...uh...wouldn't know about those. It's mostly the dramas that you hear about these days.

*Yeah, he's totally lying. Poorly.*

[He sees you there Alastor, and even though he doesn't know you well he can tell something's up]

They are the ones that get passed down more often, that's for sure.

*He can't help that he's a terrible liar!*

To be fair, dramas tended to be more unique. Slapsticks usually follow more of a formula.

True, though so few of them have survived, we may only be seeing small examples of something that might have been formulaic.

No more formulaic than modern stories...what I've seen tends to be based in real events with some rather large liberties taken.

Well, I guess people haven't changed since such ancient times then.

I'm starting to think it's part of human nature to take true stories and run with them until they hit the end of the road.

What can I say? Humans are a theatrical race. Things always sound better the more implausible they are.

It's not just humans. I don't think I've met a species that didn't have some kind of flare for theatrics.

Perhaps it is a byproduct of sentience?

Everyone gets bored now and then.

If one has a bit of a brain, one can get bored. That being said, never let a cat get bored. That never ends well.

I think that extends to quite a few types of people. I know I've been told I'm a real headache when I'm bored.

*Alastor, you are a cat, just in bat winged demon form.*

[Cat, meet cat]

You and my brother should never be bored together then, the universe would implode.

Hey, at least it'd be showy.

True. True. [He misses his bros...oh well.]

It's one way to make sure nobody else is bored.
