1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:28,440
In the heart of a wood which lost its name long ago, is a place where a seeker of stories

2
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:30,160
may go.

3
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:37,520
If you've arrived and a story is your desire, come take a seat where what you require is

4
00:00:37,520 --> 00:01:07,240
a tale from the second storyteller.

5
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:08,840
Now where is it?

6
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:14,760
Every time I'm in here I get so hopelessly distracted by all this lovely, lovely junk.

7
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,200
Oh, aha!

8
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,800
There's my jar of pickled- Oh, oh.

9
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:20,800
Hello there.

10
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:21,800
Goodness.

11
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,200
I was so distracted I missed you come in.

12
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:30,040
I am the second storyteller, and welcome to my oddities room.

13
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,720
Mostly this grand old tower collects stories.

14
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:37,840
However, this room in particular just collects things I don't know what else to do with.

15
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:42,000
You know, perhaps that's why I so often find myself in here.

16
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:47,680
I really should have organized this room from the start, but now it seems far too late for

17
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:48,680
that sort of thing.

18
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:52,120
Yeah, you know, that seems like a good excuse.

19
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:57,280
Still, whenever I'm looking for anything, like a spell book I lost a few weeks ago as

20
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:04,840
a completely random example, I tend to find what I'm looking for here.

21
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:06,400
But enough of that.

22
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,080
You're here for a story, of course.

23
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:14,760
Fortunately my rather, uh, unique organizational talent means there should be a few lying around

24
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:15,760
here.

25
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:17,880
Now let's see what we have.

26
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:18,880
Hm.

27
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:20,760
Uh, infinity mouse?

28
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,800
No, not this time.

29
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:23,800
Hm.

30
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,160
Unlikely pie contest?

31
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:27,560
Not likely, I think.

32
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,800
Oh, here's a good one.

33
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,960
A story about a mysterious object.

34
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:37,760
Seeing as we're already in a room full of mysterious objects, it seems very appropriate,

35
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:39,800
does it not?

36
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:45,400
Well then, feel free to have a seat on whatever mound of junk you judge as the comfiest.

37
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:46,400
All set?

38
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,320
Then today's story will be...

39
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,520
Corset.

40
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:56,080
Corset.

41
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,000
We met through the internet.

42
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:03,040
She scrolled through picture after picture until she found me.

43
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,160
Number 5542.

44
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,480
And it was as simple as that.

45
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:14,920
Seeing me wrapped around a model evoked a deep burning desire in First.

46
00:03:14,920 --> 00:03:19,900
First wanted me to curve her body and lift her breasts.

47
00:03:19,900 --> 00:03:25,760
She wanted my laces pulled tight across her back, crossing themselves over and over.

48
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,600
She wanted my company at clubs and bars.

49
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:34,320
First loved everything I was and everything I could provide.

50
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:38,720
And so I arrived on her campus in a white box.

51
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,920
First knew exactly what was inside.

52
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:47,000
And so she refused to open the box without her roommates gathered for the ceremony.

53
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,240
I imagine that birth is similar to this experience.

54
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,820
There was a ripping, tearing sound.

55
00:03:53,820 --> 00:03:59,460
The tissue paper wrapped around me allowed fragments of light through until First pulled

56
00:03:59,460 --> 00:04:01,340
it away.

57
00:04:01,340 --> 00:04:03,760
I saw First's face.

58
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:08,180
Her pale skin would shine smooth and lovely under my satin.

59
00:04:08,180 --> 00:04:10,640
I noticed this instantly.

60
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:17,160
Her wiry black hair was pulled back and away from her face, which featured monochrome eyes.

61
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:24,200
Gray and white and black, these eyes absorbed me as First lifted me from the box.

62
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:30,120
Her mouth twisted in a menacing smile, like a person plotting murder and selecting their

63
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:31,120
weapon.

64
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,760
There were three other girls watching this event.

65
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:36,680
Second was a short girl.

66
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,040
Short but petite, with features like a doll.

67
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,360
Her eyes widened when she saw me.

68
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:48,520
The shine of my satin locked those pale green eyes of hers onto me.

69
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,320
Third was a very large girl.

70
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:54,440
I could never imagine squeezing all of those pudgy rolls into an attractive shape.

71
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,120
But I liked Third.

72
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:03,640
She saw that if only I was larger, the appropriate size for her frame, she could have smooth

73
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:07,720
laces running over her spine, too.

74
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,040
But there was also Fourth.

75
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:15,480
I hated Fourth the moment she glanced at me.

76
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,180
She was neither fat nor thin.

77
00:05:18,180 --> 00:05:21,880
She was attractive, but in a barely visible way.

78
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,800
She looked at me with no interest.

79
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:29,120
Fourth congratulated First on my purchase and left the room.

80
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,800
My satin failed to steal her eyes.

81
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:33,840
She paid no mind to my laces.

82
00:05:33,840 --> 00:05:40,000
Though First, Second, and Third busily admired me, I could not let go of the idea that Fourth

83
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,080
was lingering elsewhere.

84
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:46,680
First, Second, and Third broke into a rapid chorus of,

85
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,360
FASHION SHOW, FASHION SHOW!

86
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:54,520
And First whisked me into her room, with Second and Third on her heels.

87
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:59,920
Second and Third hid their eyes as First shed her shirt and bra, the idea of resting on

88
00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:06,000
that thin waist, wrapping myself possessively around her pale back and cupping her soft

89
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:07,760
breasts.

90
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:13,080
She surged through my fibers as she covered herself with me.

91
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:17,640
First called to Second and told the girl to lace me up.

92
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:22,440
Second rejoiced at the chance to play with my long, insinuous laces.

93
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:27,860
And so, one lace over the other, I was pulled tighter to First.

94
00:06:27,860 --> 00:06:31,300
As I gripped her tighter, I could feel her breathing.

95
00:06:31,300 --> 00:06:35,040
Her breath became mine, her heartbeat, mine.

96
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:40,960
For the very first time, she and I were one.

97
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,880
Second finished tying the laces and stepped back.

98
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,800
I was whole, locked together with First.

99
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:54,640
Second and Third were close to tears of joy as First spun slowly in tight circles.

100
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:58,120
First brought a hand under her chin and sighed thinly,

101
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,480
AM I BEAUTIFUL?

102
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:06,760
Second and Third erupted into cheers and compliments, wrapping an invisible layer of loyalty around

103
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:13,800
First, which made her skin shimmer with an even more beautiful pale glow.

104
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,880
Eventually though, the celebration ended.

105
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:21,240
Third retreated to the opposite end of the apartment, where she shared a room with that

106
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,040
wretched Fourth.

107
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:30,320
Second helped First to undo my laces, and then First placed me lovingly in her top drawer,

108
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:35,960
sweeping everything else in the drawer onto one pile to make space for me.

109
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,760
It was here that I rested for the week.

110
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:43,960
Occasionally, First would tease me by opening the drawer and smirking at me, but she would

111
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:48,160
always choose some other, less interesting article of clothing instead.

112
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:54,160
I began to wonder what my purpose was, was I simply made to lie in the corner of a drawer,

113
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:58,880
only to be glimpsed at by First, my only love?

114
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,520
My fears dissolved when Friday night came.

115
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:07,200
The drawer opened quickly, and before I realized what was happening, Second was binding me

116
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:08,680
to First yet again.

117
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:09,680
I rejoiced.

118
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:14,560
Finally, I was reunited with my lovely First.

119
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:19,680
She put on a skirt and a pair of shoes, which had been designed, I imagine, for the sole

120
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,840
purpose of crippling young women.

121
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:28,840
First threw only a light white blouse over me, and wore it open, signifying that my love

122
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:33,000
for the blouse was extremely boring compared to me.

123
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:37,720
After adding chemicals to her face to preserve its beauty, and a large cloud of perfume to

124
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:43,120
follow her wherever she walked, First walked out the door, with Second and Third trailing

125
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:44,600
behind.

126
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,800
Judging by the way Second and Third were dressed, it was clear to me what First intended with

127
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,440
them.

128
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:56,440
Second and Third would make the perfect accents, allowing First to stand out above all others,

129
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,480
with me wrapped around her waist.

130
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:03,600
The car ride to the club was nothing particularly special.

131
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:08,920
First sat in the back, grinning, while Second drove, and Third twisted herself around in

132
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:12,680
the passenger seat to get a better look at First.

133
00:09:12,680 --> 00:09:19,120
It did feel wonderful to be there, just the four of us, with no Fourth lurking somewhere

134
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,880
on her own.

135
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:26,600
When we arrived, First, Second, and Third walked into the club and headed for the bar

136
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:27,600
immediately.

137
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:32,320
They each ordered drinks, which smelled sweet and strong.

138
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:36,080
The moment we entered, I could feel everyone's gaze.

139
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,440
The women in the club glowered at First with jealousy.

140
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:43,520
They all wished that I was with them instead of her.

141
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:48,920
All of the men smiled, and I know that they were wishing that all women were as beautiful

142
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:50,880
as my First.

143
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:55,440
As the night progressed, Second and Third wandered away, leaving only First and myself

144
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,360
at the bar.

145
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:02,080
First continued to order her sweet drinks, when suddenly a hand slid a new drink in front

146
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:03,520
of her.

147
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:09,780
This hand belonged to a man, a man whom I hated instantly.

148
00:10:09,780 --> 00:10:15,360
His hair was dark and greasy, and he smelled as though he had bathed in cologne for all

149
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:16,960
twenty years of his life.

150
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:22,880
To my surprise, First giggled and accepted the drink he offered her.

151
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,080
I couldn't understand.

152
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:32,000
My First, my perfect First, was enjoying the company of this man.

153
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:37,120
The man continued moving his mouth, and even though First wasn't actually listening, she

154
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,920
laughed every time his mouth moved.

155
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,000
Suddenly he reached out and placed a hand on First's waist.

156
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,080
I loathed the touch of his filthy hand.

157
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:51,280
I wished that he and his greasy hair would leave my First alone and stop stealing the

158
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:56,040
sheen of my satin with his nasty fingers.

159
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,620
But things would only get worse that night.

160
00:10:58,620 --> 00:11:03,480
The man whispered something in First's ear, and she laughed harder than ever, but winked

161
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:04,680
at him.

162
00:11:04,680 --> 00:11:10,920
He led First to his car, and, as a horrible sensation of dread washed over me, we returned

163
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:12,720
to the campus.

164
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:16,920
First had a difficult time opening the door, because she kept attaching her face to the

165
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:21,000
man's face, an act which repulsed me.

166
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,480
When she finally did, we found Fourth sitting on the couch.

167
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:28,080
However, she quickly retreated to her room.

168
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,920
First pulled the man into her room and flung her blouse to the ground.

169
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:37,420
It was then that First gave an order which I could never forgive her for.

170
00:11:37,420 --> 00:11:40,280
She ordered the man to undo my laces.

171
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:46,040
Those stubby, dirty fingers tore at my laces in a frantic, sloppy fashion.

172
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:51,160
Before my laces were even properly untied, when First decided they were loose enough,

173
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:55,800
she tore me away from her and flung me into her open closet.

174
00:11:55,800 --> 00:12:01,800
That night I lay in First's closet, in true misery, with her shoes and fallen sweaters,

175
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:08,160
as I listened to the sound of that man, stealing First away from me.

176
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:12,840
I have no idea when that man left, because I remained in the closet for the remainder

177
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:14,400
of the week.

178
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:19,240
Over the next few days, I heard Second and Third tending to First, who had apparently

179
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,760
become ill from the sweet drinks she had consumed.

180
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:23,760
I didn't care.

181
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,320
I was glad that First was sick.

182
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:31,360
I took pleasure in knowing that the pain she had inflicted in rejecting me was returning

183
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:32,360
to her.

184
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:36,240
It was then that I realized what I had to do.

185
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:42,160
Seeing joy in First's suffering, I decided that if I was ever given the chance, I would

186
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:46,280
make it so that First and I would never be separated again.

187
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:51,880
I decided to kill First, so that in her death I could hold her forever.

188
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:58,200
I waited in the closet, desperately wishing for First to remember me and ask Second to

189
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,400
lace me up once more.

190
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:06,480
Many times, First would pull something out of the closet, a shirt or a pair of shoes.

191
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:07,480
But not me.

192
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:11,280
I lay there waiting and perfecting my plan.

193
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,320
My opportunity came sooner than I expected.

194
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:19,480
When Friday night came once more, memories of me must have suddenly returned to First.

195
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:23,560
I heard her frantically pulling her dresser apart, searching for me.

196
00:13:23,560 --> 00:13:26,920
Her voice was panicked and laced with obscene words.

197
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:31,720
Finally, she found me lying in the closet and sighed with relief.

198
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:37,360
Those beautiful eyes and that lovely skin, I could not allow First to make the mistakes

199
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,520
of the weekend before.

200
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:45,040
I knew that I had to take her for my own or risk losing her forever.

201
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,040
First barked at Second to lace me up.

202
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:52,140
Second obeyed and tied my laces in the way she had before.

203
00:13:52,140 --> 00:13:56,240
The second my laces were tied, I pulled them even tighter.

204
00:13:56,240 --> 00:14:00,600
I felt First's heart flutter and her breath suddenly changed.

205
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,680
You- you tied it too tight!

206
00:14:02,680 --> 00:14:05,880
Are you trying to choke me or something?

207
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:07,640
Second wasn't.

208
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,000
But I was.

209
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:16,360
Second reached for the knot and tried to untie the laces, but I would not allow it.

210
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:20,680
The knot won't untie, Second said with a look of confusion.

211
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:25,080
I pulled myself even tighter to First's delicate frame.

212
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:29,280
Now her breath quickened, even though it was beginning to sound strained.

213
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,640
I could feel her heart thudding in a panic.

214
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,440
You made it even tighter, you dumb bitch!

215
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:36,440
Untie me!

216
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,240
Untie me!

217
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,120
First demanded.

218
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:41,880
But her words were useless.

219
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:47,480
I could feel her life vanishing slowly under my embrace as I pulled myself tighter and

220
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,060
tighter.

221
00:14:49,060 --> 00:14:53,080
Suddenly the door flew open and Fourth entered the room.

222
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,520
What the hell is going on?

223
00:14:55,520 --> 00:15:00,320
Through panicked and desperate tears, Second explained the situation.

224
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,320
Have you tried cutting it off?

225
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:03,880
Fourth asked.

226
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,120
It was such a foolish idea.

227
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:10,280
They had attempted to cut me away from First, but their dull scissors could do nothing against

228
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:11,280
my fabric.

229
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:15,360
I'm calling campus safety.

230
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:21,080
Fourth left the room and was replaced by Third, who joined Second in her panicked tears.

231
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,120
Tire and tighter, I pulled myself to First.

232
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,240
She was beginning to understand that we would never be separated.

233
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:28,720
I felt such joy.

234
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:34,440
Finally, I would be able to prove to First just how precious she was to me, and she would

235
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,560
never cast me aside again.

236
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:43,840
A man in a jacket with a plastic badge burst into the room with a pair of shears.

237
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:44,840
I panicked.

238
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,300
I realized what he intended to do.

239
00:15:47,300 --> 00:15:50,440
This man wanted to separate me from First.

240
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,240
Finally I pulled myself even tighter to First.

241
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:57,480
She whimpered and gasped for air as I attempted to make her mine.

242
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:01,040
The man with the shears lunged forward and began cutting.

243
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:05,880
I never felt such pain as when those shears began ripping me away from First.

244
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:10,000
The moment I was cut, I felt First's breath ease.

245
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:11,840
Her heart began to calm.

246
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,560
I was losing her, and I knew that it would be forever.

247
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:21,680
The shears tore their way up my side and First hurled me away from her, terrified and sobbing,

248
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:26,760
as Second and Third covered her with a towel and comforted her.

249
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:32,040
The man with the shears and the plastic badge shook his head and picked me up.

250
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,280
He left the apartment and tossed me into the closest dumpster.

251
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:41,960
I lay there among the garbage, a pathetic excuse for a garment which was once beautiful.

252
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:46,800
I longed for First, but I knew that I would never see her again.

253
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:52,920
The next morning, hope rushed into me as I saw the lid of the dumpster lift.

254
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:56,760
I waited eagerly for First to reach in and rescue me.

255
00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:02,240
But no, it was not First that stared into the dumpster that morning.

256
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:08,520
The last face I would ever see was the leering, uncaring face of Fourth.

257
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,600
She spotted me among the bags of garbage and smiled.

258
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:17,640
I heard a cruel giggle escape her lips before she threw her own bag of refuse into the dumpster

259
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:21,800
with me and let the lid slam down.

260
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:25,120
I had always loathed Fourth.

261
00:17:25,120 --> 00:17:42,000
Huh, what an odd story indeed.

262
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,840
I can see why this one ended up here.

263
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:49,120
Hmm, I still do need to find that spellbook though.

264
00:17:49,120 --> 00:17:52,680
I don't suppose I was due to it and that's why it's hiding.

265
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:56,080
Me referring to it as thick was a little too forward on my part.

266
00:17:56,080 --> 00:18:01,960
Oh wait though, there's a note stuck in this book and ah, with a locking charm scribbled

267
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:02,960
on it.

268
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,200
This is perfect.

269
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:09,160
I should still try to find that book though.

270
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:10,160
What's under here?

271
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:14,760
Oh, it's a shoebox filled with cards from that game I played ages ago.

272
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,280
Oh man, Yoghurt Hill was so great.

273
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,280
I wonder if they still print them.

274
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,400
Oh, oh sorry sorry.

275
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:26,080
I'm getting myself completely distracted again and something gives me the feeling I'll be

276
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,800
in this room for a while longer.

277
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,740
Ah, oh well.

278
00:18:31,740 --> 00:18:36,080
As always though, please do let me know if there is a particular type of story that you

279
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:37,720
would like to hear.

280
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:50,200
For today, be well and carry today's story in your heart.

281
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:58,600
Today's tale has ended, but return once again to this place where you are considered a friend.
