Mizzle: hey gang, I found a lever!
Trimaldis: let’s find out what it does

(The dragon breathes fire and everyone spreads out to avoid it)
Saraid: Mizzle! Are you okay?
Mizzle: (reading “Love’s Captive” by Arabella Richardson) No! I lost my place! I have to start the chapter over!

Trimaldis: (in unison) Activate jump jets! DEATH FROM ABOVE!
(Later, recuperating)
Shiny: (weakly) pain… from… above…
Tiny: I TOLD you we should have added extra interior padding
Whiny: shut up and pass me the painkillers

Saraid: this new fighting style is about balance
Mizzle: what kind of balance do you seek to achieve?
Saraid: every time I punch someone with my left hand, I make sure to punch with the right too

Saraid: it’s sometimes frustrating dealing with the Trimaldis
Mizzle: why is that?
Saraid: I often want to stuff them into a trash can but they’d like that

SHINY: Mizzle says we have too many raccoons and have to downsize.
TINY: Too many raccoons? How does that even work?
SHINY: Don’t worry. Nobody can tell the difference between us. We’ll just take turns stepping outside the clank. I have a schedule here.
WHINY: Wait, why does this have you getting out of the clank every session?
SHINY: Someone needs to keep you guys out of trouble.
TINY: You’re going to keep us out of trouble? How does that even work?

Mizzle: do you have family at home?
Shiny: aside from Tiny and Whiny, there’s Miney…

Tiny: and Mo, the black sheep of the family
(Cut to a black sheep grazing nervously as a gang of judgmental raccoons observe them)

Shiny: Let’s try this again. I was complaining about those sneaky monkeys …
Whiny: And I agreed with you about those sneaky monkeys …
Minkey: And I was the next one to agree with you about them …
Tiny: And I was the third one to agree with you … wait …
Shiny: I feel like we’re so close …

Monkeys: you don’t seem too upset that we stole your stuff
Mizzle: well it was just potions and food and other traveling supplies, right? We can always get more, and generosity is a virtue!
Monkeys: oh yeah! That stuff was valuable, unlike the old books we took and dumped into a lake
Mizzle: (monotone) you’re all going to die

Sigh. (Then I still had a draft in one window, and fleshed it out different ways each time. Parallel Universe Comedy!)

Guilt-eating Demon: hi, I’m here to consume feelings of guilt and twisted responsibility
Trimaldis: (pointing at Mizzle) the buffet bar is over there
