“Excuse me,” said Reala, “I think I’m lost.”
The human walked past without a second glance.
“God, I’m lonely here,” sighed Reala.
“Oi!” came a voice from the tree.
Reala turned to see a bright orange bug clamped onto the bark.
“Think you’re lonely?” asked the bug, “I’m so lonely, whenever I use Skype I only have Echo to talk to.”

“Is that Hydra balancing on top of that building?” asked Sprite.
“Yup,” replied Yuffie.
“What’s that he’s eating?” asked Fuen.
“Donuts,” sighed Yuffie.
“But why is he eating them up there?” asked Sprite.
“Because,” sighed Yuffie, “I told him he needed to eat a more balanced diet.”

“OK,” said Cloud, “but I’m still not sure why the humans feel the need to dump information into me.”
“I don’t think its personal,” replied Yuffie.
“The problem is,” said Fuen, “humans are addicted to social media and the internet in general.”
“Yeah, it’s all they think about,” agreed Yuffie.
“Had a human once dump a camera into me,” said Hydra.
“Oh my!” squeaked Yuffie.
“S’alright,” said Hydra. “When it came out the snaps it took on the way through went down a storm on Instagram.”

“So, there’s this banging on my door right,” said Blue.
“Right,” replied Fisherman.
“And it’s these two coppers, right,” said Blue.
“Right,” said Fisherman.
“They tell me there’s been a complaint about my dog chasing a man on a bicycle,” said Blue.
“Mmmhmm,” murmured Fisherman.
“So I tells em straight,” gesticulated Blue, “my dog doesn’t own a bicycle.”

“What does he mean,” asked Hydra.
“He means he is going to replicate us for sale,” sighed Yuffie.
“He’s gonna clone us,” gasped Hydra.
“No,” sighed Yuffie. “It’s worse. He is going to put pictures of us on Etsy.”
“Like artwork,” asked Hydra.
“Yeah,” replied Yuffie.
“If he makes any prints of me,” grumbled Fuen, “I am going to make him Regretsy…”

“A chicken brothel?” asked Yuffie.
“Oh yes,” said Fuen, “it’s the next big thing in bird life.”
“So chickens come here and hire, what exactly?” asked Yuffie.
“Anything they want” replied Fuen, opening a door.
Before them was a small room with a messy bed in the middle. In the bed lay a very frustrated looking egg, and beside it, a very satisfied looking chicken, puffing on a cigarette.
“Well,” says Smoke, “I guess this answers one question…”

“Haven’t seen you in ages,” said Kraken.
“Not very good sea legs,” replied Spectre.
“No oars or sail,” pondered Kraken. “Are you adrift?”
“Afraid so,” said Spectre. “Came looking for you, lost my oars, and now I’m being pulled away from the shore by a strong current.”
“Oh dear,” said Kraken. “Hey, if you have a fish pun for me I’ll push you back to shore.”
“Oh for goodness sake, Kraken!” exclaimed Spectre. “This is not the time or the plaice…”

“Still after fish puns?” asked Cloud.
“Yeah,” replied Kraken, “got any new ones?”
“Afraid not,” said Cloud.
“I am thinking of offering a reward for the best fish pun” said Kraken.
“Maybe 300 shells for the winning pun?” suggested Cloud.
“Not a bad idea for a prize,” said Kraken, “are you interested?”
Cloud pondered for a moment. “Let me mullet over…”

“Well,” said Spectre, “it wasn’t that bad.”
“But she did damage, right?” asked Fuen.
“Well yes,” said Spectre, “but she only ate the clock tower.”
“Aye?” questioned Fuen.
“Oooh,” interrupted Yuffie, “that would be because White is on a clock diet at the moment.”
“A clock diet?” sighed Fuen.
“Yeah,” said Yuffie, “it’s quite time consuming.”

“Would you three break it up?” yelled Yuffie.
“He started it!” said Clouds.
“No, he started it,” stropped Clouds.
“Nuh uh, it was him,” hissed Clouds.
“OK,” said Yuffie, “what happened?”
“He threw a tropical bird at me,” shouted Clouds.
“And then?” asked Yuffie.
“I showed him,” growled Clouds. “Toucan play at that game!”
