[Professor Layton & The Miracle Mask - Monte d'Or]

Bizz watches the prisoners far off doing something rather particular. Something he's never seen notails do much before.

"Check it out, they're painting!"
"What about it?"
"Ain't it interesting that the notails here paint when notails elsewhere don't?"
"..................................."
"No."
"Yeah, man! Neither do I."
"Then why the fuck did you waste my time pointin' it out?"
"Well....."
"Just making idle conversation, dang man!"

Apollo laughs as he turns around and slithers his way back.
As soon as the two are far enough, he falters. This isn't how he thought things would go.
The people here were nice to him, but he couldn't put his finger- err, tail on it.
His sister didn't understand, but she cared. So he was unhappy.
These people understood (mostly) but they didn't care. So he was still unhappy.

"You got what you wanted, right? So just shut up for two damn minutes, do your job, and then when we're done, we'll get a better job!"
He just made himself feel worse by yelling at himself.
"It's clear to me, you don't belong here!~"

"I don't know what your issues have to do with me."
"-and I don't want to be a bad person. I am a good person, and one day I want to be like Princess and help lots and lots of people-"

"I JUST LIKE COMPLAINING OUT LOUD I DON'T ACTUALLY WANT HELP!"
"Oh......."
"That's kind of really stupid. You're talking out loud so you obviously want attention....."

"Can I walk away and we can both just pretend this never happened?"
"I'm sorry I'm just like so open to the universe nowadays I can't stop talking about it."

"I don't like talking to people, man. I just wish I'd like to talk to people."
"All I am trying to say is, that if you're looking for a place better than this, you should talk to Princess, she's accepting of everyone!"

"...........................Sorry but I don't think "working at a prison" is going to look amazing in my resume...."
"No one ever wants to help Prison planet. That's why it never improves."
"I wish like, a big monster would appear and protect the whoooole area!"

"That's a...really weird wish."
"No it's not."
"Haven't you ever heard about something really bad happening on like the news and wished like.....A giant monster would appear to protect that place?"
"I guess it's cause, like, you don't understand everything, so you don't know who you want to protect the place, you just wish something big and powerful would do it."

"Nevermind I don't want to talk to you anymore." Apollo starts slithering away.
"Wha? There's nothing weird about wishing Princess was a giant-"
Apollo slithers away faster. He has successfully exited this conversation.
No one is typing.
