[voice] / [action for the Shepherds if'n y'all want that]

Could anyone tell me about the comic books in their world? If your world has comic books, I mean. I want to hear about what kinds of stories they have, especially if they're about superheroes.

[Hubert loves the comics he got from the Christmas ship, but he can only re-read them so many times. And all he can find in the shops on Empieza are regular books. Which he's not necessarily upset about, because he likes books in general, but...they don't have superheroes. PLZ TO ENTERTAIN HIM WITH EPIC STORIES OF GOOD GUYS WITH COOL WEAPONS BEATING UP BAD GUYS.]

Oh! So it's like a skeleton key!

[He's read about those in books, but he didn't think they actually existed.]

Huh? What's that?

A skeleton key is a key that opens all doors!

Oh... [Pauses, then laughs.]

Yeah, I guess it really is just like that!

But it must be a pretty big key, right? If you're fighting monsters with it.

[How would such a big key fit into a normal keyhole?]

Well, yeah. It actually is pretty big! [Nope, he has no idea someone might be confused about this fact.]

The keyholes in your world must be really big, then...

O-...oh, well. Not just that! See, the way the Keyblade works, is a beam of light shoots into the keyhole to unlock it. It works with magic, see?

Oh! Okay.

[Pause.]

But then why does it have to be shaped like a key...?

[Hubert, away with your logic.]
