i wanna tell you a story. ain't got no characters in it but me. i wanna sing you a sad song. most of it i don't expect you to believe. it starts off just the whiskey and wine, miles of travel and some real good times. but it ends in a dark corridor, and there ain't no windows and there ain't no doors.
Severa: Oh, Brady! Brady: What's wrong? Severa: I'm so glad you're here! It's an emergency! Brady: Are we under attack?! Severa: Worse! I'm building the official S & B Society tent, and we're out of materials! Oh, it's just awful! Brady: Just use one of the spare tents! We got plenty. Severa: Ugh, no way! Our noble organization deserves better than plain, ugly canvas. Brady: So whaddya want me to do about it? Severa: Well, maybe we can start off with a spare after all... Brady: Uh, what changed from a second ago when that was unacceptable? Severa: Duh! Embellishments! We'll take a drab old tent and transform it into a palace. We'll need silks, and colorful lanterns, and fine, gilded tassels! Oh, and maybe some of those little hangy-bead thingies for the door! Brady: You want all that on a stupid tent for two people? Severa: It's not a stupid tent, and we are not just two people! We are the S&B Society! Brady: This plan's startin' to rub my fur the wrong way... Severa: I don't care about your fur, which you don't even have anyway! Here's your list. Go fetch everything on it, and then come back for more orders. Brady: List? Let's see... Jumping jesters! I'll have to go to a big city to find half this stuff! Look at these quantities! Twenty tapestries? Thirty-five diamond-tipped canes? ...Forty-five golden bricks? Oh, come on! You can't even buy golden bricks! I think I need a drink... Severa: Ooh! Thank you for reminding me. We'll be needing a nice set of teacups as well. Oh, and since I handled all the planning, you don't mind footing the bill, right? Brady: You're dreaming, lady! We're splittin' the cost at the very least! Severa: Hey, we voted on this, remember? I am the society president and CEO! ...You are the treasurer. Brady: Being treasurer doesn't mean you pay for everything out of pocket! Severa: Um, I think I know what a treasurer does, Brady. Gods! Hmm... Okay, so we'll also need some shelves for books and such... Brady: Hey! ...Are you even listening to me? ...... Fine, I'll go see what I can get from the local markets. But you're paying me back for half! You here me, ya mooch? Severa: Sure, sure. Off you go. Brady: I knew this was a bad idea...
