What's a video camera?

[xochipilli_cursed]

Oh, man, okay. It's a recording device.

If I find one and teach you how to use it, promise me one thing?

[headcasey]

Sure.

[xochipilli_cursed]

Don't use it to shoot a sex tape.

That's, like, the biggest first mistake.

[headcasey]

...I think I can promise you that won't be an issue since in order to film a "sex tape," if that means what I think it means, it would require someone to be sexually active, otherwise it defeats the whole "sex" part of the term "sex tape" and anyway, I'm not sure why I should be discussing anything related to sex with you, beyond that horrible joke I told you earlier, which I only told you because you asked me to tell you a joke from my homeland and that's the only one I know because I really don't have much of a sense of humor as I've been repeatedly told since I was a little--

[And she chokes, gasping for breath at this point.]

[xochipilli_cursed]

Woah, woah. It's cool. Sorry about that, more of my jokes that only work in the right crowds.

[Oops. He's going to have to learn how to handle these guys.

At least they don't have the tempter of some of his worse critics.]

[headcasey]

Right.

[xochipilli_cursed]

No hard feelings?

[headcasey]

Of course not.

[xochipilli_cursed]

Good. You honestly shouldn't take me too seriously most of the time.

[headcasey]

If I don't take you seriously all of the time, how will I know when you actually are being serious?

[xochipilli_cursed]

Well, I don't find violence funny. So if I'm doing something violent, I'm serious.

Otherwise, just assume I'm joking.

[headcasey]

Hopefully, I'll figure that out.

[xochipilli_cursed]

Hopefully. I wouldn't get too hung up on it, though.

[headcasey]

I'll try...

[xochipilli_cursed]

[In a low, croaky voice. Basically, a very, very bad Yoda impression.]

Do, or do not. There is no try.

[headcasey]

[She stares blankly.]

[xochipilli_cursed]

Oh, yeah.

... I swear, if I find someone with a vcr and a good video library, I am going to rock your world.

And a TV.

You know what? Your world is probably safe.

[headcasey]

Just as well. We have enough problems without earthquakes.

[xochipilli_cursed]

You're killing me.

Okay, so, what sort of problems do you have here anyways?

[headcasey]

You mean besides all having been kidnapped by the Nysgods?

[xochipilli_cursed]

Well, there is that. Could be worse though. We could be kidnapped by something that wants to eat us.

[headcasey]

Meteors, mind-altering chemicals, games that try to kill us...

[xochipilli_cursed]

Okay, now those are problems.

[headcasey]

A bit.
