I just hung upside down for hours and hours! I think it was all day!

[It was a few hours. In a trap, though, so there is some real reason to cry.]

Am I going to die now?

That has no correlation with your possible head trauma.

How did you manage to get hung upside down, anyway?

[asano_san]

But everything to do with my luck!

I walked into a trap.

[usedlick]

A trap? Do you think someone meant to capture you?

[This seems really serious??]

[asano_san]

I don't think they set it for me. It was for anyone who walked into it. I was just the unlucky guy who did.

[usedlick]

But why would anyone set out a trap like that in the first place?

[For animals?]

[asano_san]

I think they were trying to ruin someone's day.

And it worked!

[usedlick]

For the reward the quest supposedly gives out? I see.

Still, this seems like a dangerous way to ruin someone's day.

[asano_san]

It is!

I thought the quests asking you to fight monsters in the woods were the worst, but now this one is!

[usedlick]

[Hmm...]

Maybe we should agree to some sort of rule about using dangerous means to ruin each other's days.

[But how would they even enforce it? Connor wasn't built for this kind of lawless situation...]

[asano_san]

The people who would do dangerous things aren't going to listen.

She thought it was funny to see me hanging there!

[usedlick]

That's the problem with not having any way to enforce rules. In the absence of a criminal justice system, maybe social isolation would be a fitting punishment.

[Please stop him.]

[asano_san]

You want to send her out in the woods?

[usedlick]

I've heard the woods are dangerous as well. Is there somewhere else?

[asano_san]

[Oh good, because he's not sure even she deserves to be sent out into the woods.]

You could make a pit just for her.

[usedlick]

A pit might be too easily climbed out of.

Besides, I was thinking of something of a more mental nature, like simply not talking to her.

[asano_san]

Not talking to someone is the worst thing you can do to them!

[usedlick]

Yes, that's the point. If that kind of punishment can dissuade someone from leaving traps where innocent people can step in them, it seems like the perfect solution.

[asano_san]

Her name is Okuni.

[Sorry, Okuni, he's ratting you out.]

[usedlick]

[What a fast turnaround!]

Okuni. She's responded to your post as well, I see.

[asano_san]

The one who laughed at me!

[usedlick]

I see. She has a point about the traps being used to catch game, but maybe there could be some kind of marker...

[Since it still seems pretty dangerous!]

[asano_san]

Do you really think she's using them for hunting?

[usedlick]

I don't know her or her motivations. What do you think?

[asano_san]

I think she wants to catch people in traps!

People like me!

[usedlick]

You might be right.

I can ask her.
