They shouldn't be, but they are all the time. People are punished all the time for the stupidest things you can imagine! You can get turned into a puppet forever because you told one lie.

Pinocchio?

[honkinbigteeth]

[yes. she nods! she nods.]

That's right. It is but one example of how that can happen for no reason at all!

[camena]

... Fairytales are pretty messed up if you take them literally, huh?

[honkinbigteeth]

Welcome to my life...

[camena]

Yeah, sorry. Maybe you're not the person to say that to.

[honkinbigteeth]

No, it's okay. We're aware of it and trying to fix it.

[camena]

How do you fix something like that? If it's just how the world... works?

[honkinbigteeth]

Well, I think it's like - the reason it works that way is something pretty powerful, but that doesn't mean it's impossible to use some of that power and change things.

[camena]

Sure, that makes sense. You can use whatever's around you, or... something?

[honkinbigteeth]

Well, I can't so much, but some of my friends can do magic, and magic comes from the power to tell stories.

[camena]

But anyone can tell stories, can't they? Like, couldn't you?
