Whoever you are? The punk who stole those masks? You're not just screwin' all of us over, but you're kinda doomin' yourself along with us.

Four holes in the door Wave found. Mask shaped holes. We finally found the last one and You, you huge jerk, decide to steal the other three.... why? You get that they're probably the key to savin' all our asses, right?

My guess is ransom, because ain't no-one gonna buy those things off you in any store or museum right now. Not with the moon takin' up a quarter of the freakin' sky. So you're going to try and make folks pay to get them back.

When you make your move? I will find you. And I am going to punch you so hard your grandkids'll be born with black eyes.

So, why do we need masks, dude? Halloween was like, a month ago or something.

[monotreme_101]

....uh. I guess you haven't been payin' attention to...? Look, thing is, the moon's gonna crash down on us. There's a legend about a place called Termina where the same thing was going to happen. These Masks are involved in it, somehow, and there's a door on the clock tower that wasn't there before with mask shaped holes in it. Kinda like a lock with four keyholes and the masks are those keys.

If we can get 'em back, we might just be able to figure this thing out.

[crystal_ballin]

Oh. Weird.

Have you tried looking in the bathroom, dude? Haunted masks hang out in the bathroom sometimes. Of course, they kill you if you say you need any paper, but if you're looking for a haunted mask, I'd start with there, dude. Just tell them you don't need any paper and you'll be fine.

[monotreme_101]

...I don't... get what you're talkin' about.

At all.

[crystal_ballin]

If the masks left by themselves, which they probably did, they're probably haunted, and the place where masks go to haunt people is in public bathrooms, dude. It's all pretty simple and straightforward, dude.

[monotreme_101]

I've never heard of that...

[But he'd heard of weirder things.]

Fine. I'll try looking in... restrooms for 'em. You said no paper, right? If they ask me? For.... reasons?

[crystal_ballin]

The reason is 'cause you don't have any toilet paper in your stall, dude! But yeah, that's what you should do. You'll probably find them in no time. And once you do, I can sell you some charms to purify them, dude.

[monotreme_101]

Yeah, but who doesn't check before they sit down? That's kinda dumb. You don't just go in there and sit down and then realize that you ain't got any paper!

I'm new to this whole flush toilet craze, but even I know that much!

[crystal_ballin]

In Japan a lot of old places don't have toilet paper. You have to bring your own with you, dude. So, you go in, you think you got some, maybe you don't have enough, maybe all you have is some facial tissue... Maybe you have to go so much that you don't have time to check to make sure that there's paper in the stall before you run in, dude.

[monotreme_101]

What happens if you ask the ghost for leaves?

[You know. Being that he grew up in the wilderness on an Island that was not known for modern conveniences like Bathroom Tissue.]

[crystal_ballin]

You die, dude. You answer anything other than no paper, and you die, dude. Asking for leaves is just like asking for another sort of weird paper.

[monotreme_101]

Ugh. Ghosts suck.

don't see why everybody thinks they were stolen

i've dealt with evil masks and weird magic. stuff's unpredictable. i bet they got bored waiting for everybody to figure out what they were for and took off. tough luck for us

[This is totally not misdirection at all.]

[monotreme_101]

Hey, I'm a Treasure Hunter. One of my world's best, and I've dealt with plenty of artifacts too. Magic ones and everythin'. But they're masks, not shoes - how're they gonna go anyplace when Gordon had them locked up? They needed feet for that and I figure someone had to provide those feet.

Re: [text]

[itsjustrats]

magic doesn't play by rules, and there's no telling how much magic is crammed into those things.

just sayin.

Re: [text]

[monotreme_101]

You might be right.

Still. If someone DID take 'em, no harm in letting them know they're going to get the daylights knocked right outta them if I ever find out who it is!

Re: [text]

[itsjustrats]

yeah okay.

if i see him i'll let him know.

Re: [text]

[monotreme_101]

How would you know it's him?

You got any idea who it is? If you can tell me what you know, I can get to knockin' the guy's teeth in that much faster.
