Your old school friend John!

>Your nemesis (who is oblivious to the fact that you consider him your nemesis and in fact considers you to be his friend), STEVE THE DROP!!!!

It's STEVE JOHN the Drop! That SMARMY JERK!

Steve John, the Drop who somehow made it through all of Basic X-Plorer Training without getting his FEET muddy, losing his ZAP RIFLE, or even getting entangled in ELECTRIC BARBED WIRE.

Look at him. Standing there. Thinking he's so much better than you.

"Bob," he says, "I know you can't understand me, but I'm going to shoot you now."

jump at him, knocking his rifle away, and transmogrify into his shape, resutling in an identity crisis.

Yes, bluffing. Let's see how badly he wants us dead, hmm?

See how much of a SMarmy jerk he is? This is EXACTLY the type of thing he does to make him your nemesis...

Interpretative dance.

Of course, thriggle translated it us because our pitiful human brains would explode if exposed to the complexity of that sentence in the language of dance.

When I said yell, I meant Interpretative Dance. Obviously.

Darn keys are close together on my keyboard... <_< >_>

>Save yourself! Dance like you've never danced before!

You briefly consider simply explaining to Steve John that you can now understand him and then asking him not to shoot you, but realize that your situation is much too nuanced for the medium of speech, and can only be fully related through INTERPRETIVE DANCE.


You LEAP your encounter with the SAVAGE FOLIAGE.


You ARABESQUE your explorations in the NATIVE VILLAGE.


You PIROUETTE the confusion and frustration you felt as you made your way through this PRIMITIVE FACILITY.


And finally, you dance a complex and sensual CODA designed to connect with your audience on the universal hindbrain levels of DANCE and MOVEMENT, and fully invoke understanding regarding your discovery and removal of the MISTRANSLATION DEVICE, as well as explain via RECURSIVE DANCING that you can communicate fluently and reliably through INTERPRETIVE DANCE.



Steve John appears DEEPLY MOVED.

We need ACTIONS not WORDS!!
You've got to convince your old rival that you have become the ultimate coolness!

>Shoot the gun out of his hand off of his body.

>SHOOT FIRST!

Not trusting Steve John's apparent SENSITIVITY and APPRECIATION for the PERFORMING ARTS, you decide to play it safe and shoot that ZAP RIFLE out of the Drop's han-- er, skin.
