But you vandalized the art!

[Ray] Yeah, and y'know, art ... is ... uh ... actually I got nothin'.

KL-I suppose we could drop a wall within the shadow that was larger than the shadow. You'd be able to walk out then.

What if we removed the earth from under the obelisk so that it sank into the earth?


I got some termites. I don't advertise them in these parts because they're not a popular dish. Can't breed enough of them when I'm in Africa.

KL-That might be risky. The shadowy would go into the ground with it, reducing itself in scale, possibly crushing him to death. I think the better route is either through the second-casting method (though there are certain practical risks involved with that one) or in blocking the shadow with an object larger than he is.

OK.

*looks up after completing a locust census* Is he dead yet?

[Ray] [with an atrocious Cockney accent] 'e's not quoite dead, 'e's just Haway From Keybwod. Key ... Boad. [back to his usual American accent] Keyboard.
