>TALK TO WALLFLAP

SLOBFERN (Translated from Slobese)

I'm...sorry? Talk to what now? Who? Uhh...





WALLFLAP:

Ugh, can't you see I'm working here?!

SLOBFERN (Translated from Slobese)

Oh. Hi...wall stuff. Uh, the voices in my brain seem to know you??


WALLFLAP:

Gargle-blarg to you too, dingus. Move along, will you?

CO-QUEEN DOCTOR STAPHANIE CELIA

Sorry, Fern. We would have said something, but we had to scramble to block this thing's perceptual sphere as soon as the buzzers recognized it. It's definitely parliament, and conceptual parameters are unbelievably aggressive.


SLOBFERN (Translated from Slobese)

Any way you can word that in my terms? I still don't really "get" the "perception sphere" completely.


CO-QUEEN DOCTOR STAPHANIE CELIA

Okay...um....well....your sphere is....it's the sum of the reality you understand. You would call it your "perspective," except that the sphere is something that defines what you are just as much as you define it with your own senses. When you and another perceptual entity interact, like you and I right now, it's because our spheres, perspectives, personal realities, whatever you want to call it are compatible enough to mutually enmesh their outer edges/

This Willflop thing........actually, I can't think of a description you would be able to process. The closest I can do it justice is that the borders of its sphere were already trying to "chew holes" into yours.


SLOBFERN (Translated from Slobese)

That sounded bad.


WALLFLAP:

Excuse me, or excuse you I should say...are you going to keep standing around wobbling at me?

CO-QUEEN DOCTOR STAPHANIE CELIA

Barriers are holding up. It can't tell we're here, or that you don't have the right core, or that you have buzzers.


WALLFLAP:

...Yep. You're just going to mill around looking like an idiot I guess.

Guess it could be worse company. Heh. You know what you should do?

Right - that's YOUR right, stupid - left, left, right, right, keep going til there's a door on your left...oh boy, you're gonna love it. I promise.

....Do you have any idea what I'm saying.

SLOBFERN (Translated from Slobese)

(...Should we get out of here?)


CO-QUEEN DOCTOR STAPHANIE CELIA

(I think that could look suspicious just yet)


WALLFLAP:

Sigh. Look, some of you at least get the GIST. Blabber or something if you kinda get me. I could just kinda use something more to talk to than pieces of wood.
