Hey look: an actual discussion!
One Good Year for Anastasia
My friend's 6 year old daughter, whom I based Tamberlane on, has a fatal brain tumor and a prognosis of 1 year to live. I'm asking folks who love Tamberlane, if they're able, to throw a couple of dollars at their GoFundMe to give Anastasia a wonderful last year. Find out more here.
Transcript
BELFRY: No one thinks you're a monster. Abroad is just...a bogeyman.
TAMBERLANE: So it's not real?
BELFRY: No, it's real. It's just... Abroad is just a place, poppet.
TAMBERLANE: But what about the Taint?
BELFRY: The Taint is also real, I think. Or Nana Tess says so. I just don't think it's like that.
TAMBERLANE: It doesn't make monsters?
BELFRY: Well, I've never seen one, at least.
BELFRY: I don't know what it is exactly that makes Abroad so dangerous. I know it's important to be careful; otherwise we wouldn't have so many rules about it! But I do know some other things about Abroad!
TAMBERLANE: Like what?
BELFRY: Abroad is actually really important to Silver Sage! It's because of Abroad that we have some important services here in Treehollow.
TAMBERLANE: Like what?
BELFRY: Like... Indoor plumbing! If it weren't for Abroad, we'd have to poo outside!
TAMBERLANE: Ew!
BELFRY: Ninguém acha que você é um monstro. O Exterior é só... um bicho-papão.
TAMBERLANE: Então não é real?
BELFRY: Não, é real. É só... o Exterior é só um lugar, boneca.
TAMBERLANE: Mas e as Manchas?
BELFRY: As Manchas também são reais, eu acho. Ou a Vovó Tess diz que são. Eu só não acho que é desse jeito.
TAMBERLANE: Não faz monstros?
BELFRY: Bem, eu nunca vi um, pelo menos.
BELFRY: Eu não sei exatamente o que faz o Exterior tão perigoso. Eu sei que é importante ter cuidado; senão não teriamos tantas regras sobre ele! Mas eu sei algumas outras coisas sobre o Exterior!
TAMBERLANE: Tipo oquê?
BELFRY: O Exterior é na verdade realmente importante para Silver Sage! É por causa do exterior que temos alguns serviços importantes aqui em Treehollow.
TAMBERLANE: Como oquê?
BELFRY: Como... água encanada! Se não fosse pelo Exterior, nós teriamos que fazer cocô fora de casa!
TAMBERLANE: Eca!
