[A hum.]

Would you have wanted to, if you had the chance?

[perfectdistance]

Nah. This place is already so hot.

[greatdeduction]

[Backs off slightly just to look at him.]

You do look like you'd benefit from being tossed into a bath of ice, my dear fellow. You're positively melting.

[perfectdistance]

Like I said, City of Rain. Real nice cool weather there.

[greatdeduction]

[Standing back...and offering his arm, all gentleman-like.]

Let's take you to a fountain, then. I won't have you fainting on me.

[perfectdistance]

D'ya think I'm that fragile?

[But he does take Sholmes' arm.]

[greatdeduction]

Not at all. I only see a man in need of some relief.

[And they're walking! Irene is hopping at his heels as a hare.]

As a gentleman, one must always look out for others.

[perfectdistance]

Maybe we'll see a snow city...

[Hopeful.]

[greatdeduction]

Maybe! I wonder if there's a way to petition for one...

Would you want to make snowmen, Mr. Turner? Or snow wizards?

[perfectdistance]

Haha, what?

[ Now that he thinks about it. ]

Might be fun with Power?

[greatdeduction]

Oh! Yes, we should invite her!

She'd create...snow devils! I can see it now.

[perfectdistance]

Wonder if there is a snow devil where she's from.

[greatdeduction]

Likely. People can be afraid of the snow, after all.

[perfectdistance]

A lotta it can be dangerous.

[ Avalanches. ]

[greatdeduction]

Of course. So it makes sense. We really must ask her if she knows a Snow Devil.

I wonder if there's a Devil of the Heights...

[perfectdistance]

... Plenty of people are afraid of fallin', right?

[greatdeduction]

....Falling Devil? Being Crushed To Smithereens Devil?

[perfectdistance]

Maybe that's more like the "Crushing Devil".

[greatdeduction]

Haha. Perhaps.

If you had a devil made from your fear....what would it be?

[perfectdistance]

Whoa, heavy.

You first.

[greatdeduction]

Why, mine would be....a most loathsome beast. A fear that hangs over my head every month! A devil who torments me, pushes me to my limits, makes me cry and shout and tremble in fear!




The dreaded....the terrible............."Rent Devil".

[perfectdistance]

You could always live in a cave.

[greatdeduction]

A cave? Heavens, no! I would die of loneliness! I desire the comfort of society, my dear fellow! I could not survive in such circumstances!

[perfectdistance]

[Hehehe]

No rent there.

[greatdeduction]

I know....but I can't....I'd wither away like a flower....I must fight the Rent Devil every month, I suppose...
