Gareth says:
You should ask him if he’s alright, and tell him it isnt his fault.
Colonel says:
Reassure Zeb that things are gonna be okay. Y’all made the best of a bad situation, and you’re on the same road you wanted to be on. It’ll all work out!
“Hey, Zeb, don’t worry too much. We’ll figure this out together, okay?”
“Yeah… Th-thanks… Glass.”
That sounded encouraging enough, you hope.
Holy says:
hug
him
DjLumi says:
After everything is said and done. We voices inside your head say that Zed needs a hug or some sort of comfort.
What, like for free? You never got hugs for slip ups – or really at all. Know what you got? You got your ear pulled, tail kinked, smacked in the back of the head – possibly the front. Zeb should be grateful that he lives in a country where the punishment for almost splattering a soldier is three gold pieces. He doesn’t deserve a hug.
Yeah… maybe your home screwed you up; It’s becoming more and more obvious come to think of it.
…
But this is a new start. So, you’ll try… something.
MickelPickel says:
Give Zeb a hearty but reassuring pat on the back and then hop out to show that crank engine who’s boss!
You’re just going to look under the crank engine.
“Zeb, This piece popped out; It looks important. Do you know what it is?”
“Oh, that’s just the barrel cover. It helps protect the main spring. We can get a new one; they’re fairly cheap. Just as long as the arbor’s still aligned, we should be okay.”
“Aligned…” you repeat back slower, “As in ‘straight‘? And not… crooked?”
“Yes, otherwise the mainspring will escape.”
“What do you mean by ‘escape’?”
“Violently and spontaneously unspool is what I mean. Which would be problematic, but highly unlikely.”
“Zeb, I think the mainspring is trying to escape.”
“Glass, I appreciate you trying to cheer me up, but I’m not really in the mood for more of your awful Gnomanyan jokes. Now it says here that—
Aaaaaand Zeb is dead. Or in another solar system.
Yeah, now I know why our vehicles don’t use massive coilsprings!
Dead, just dead on the spot
oh he just died right there and then
the spring cutting the trees around it is really cool ngl
Well that can’t be good, i think they just invented space travel. uh oh.
That’s…unfortunate, for multiple reasons.
rip Zeb, mah boy dead
