*Hiroshi does not want to talk about what happened back there. At all. As if he didn't have enough body horror nightmares on his own without adding to the pack thanks. And that's not the only thing that's been rather upsetting about the whole mess...*

[VIDEO]

Anybody seen Mr. Rudolph around at all? I've been wanting to get back to work but I haven't seen him around.

If not... I don't suppose anybody has any research they need done? I think I need something to relax.

*...seriously?*

...Palom, it'd be really nice if you asked me to look this stuff up BEFORE you did it.

I didn't know it was going to happen. It was kind of a surprise.

Did it restart again?

Nope. It's stuck there forever and there's nothing I can do.

Please tell me this is you discovering the wonders of sarcasm.

I'm just trying to see what kind of awful faces I can get you to make. You're really good at them.

I hope you're satisfied, then, because you're the type who inspires them on so, so many people.

Fine. So did this actually happen, and if so, where?

It's Stop. It's a kind of black magic. I don't remember anyone else ever using it back home, so I don't know much about it at all.

I used it by accident when I was chasing down the zoo animals and then again during that everyone turning into a monster thing just now.

I see. I'm assuming it's the sort of thing that wears off, then. Did the things you used it on seem to show any adverse effects?

...They started chasing me again after a while.

...that doesn't really count.

Well, what are you thinking, then?

I don't know. Physical side effects. Mental. Did they seem any different after you were finished? You can't just ask me about this sort of thing without me wanting to know if there were any side effects. And it sounds like you weren't exactly in a position to observe. Do you remember who or what you used the spell on specifically?

I used it on an ostrich and a monster. The ostrich should still be in the zoo if it didn't turn into a monster and I don't know what happened to the monster.

...Uh, right. Maybe we should talk to the zookeepers, see if they've noticed anything off. If they haven't, you're probably in the clear.

Great! I haven't gotten any complaints! It's probably good, then.

I... still think it would be better to ask them directly, Palom.

They're probably busy. We shouldn't disturb people who are hard at work with boring questions.

Palooooom...

Yes, Hiroshi?

[see icon]

Personal responsibility and integrity are still foreign and mysterious concepts to you, aren't they?

Gosh. I don't know if I do well with big words, Hiroshi. You're talking about how good I am solving problems, right?

[The voice of an angel right there. The celestial choir sings up above.]

...

I'm going to go talk to the zookeeper myself. Don't blame me if they get mad at you for not telling them directly.

W-Wait! Don't just tell them! We should find out ourselves!
