In my boredom, I found a microphone. And thus, this recording.

... trapped in hell?

that's scary!

It's not scary, my dear. It's more... metaphorical than scary.

it's kinda scary.

How is it scary, mm?

I mean; is it just the concept of being trapped in hell itself, or..?

yeah... that sounds really awful.

Hmn... no, I don't imagine that actually being trapped in hell would be pleasant.

But keep in mind, dear, that they are not necessarily talking about a literal entrapment within hell.

A 8oring recording of a 8oring poem 8y a 8ooooooooring girl.

At least I have hobbies enough to stop me from seeking out attention from people I don't like.

i thought it was a really good poem! even if the ending wasn't very happy.

It's such a gorgeous poem, wasn't it?

And there is actually another verse that I didn't read out. Perhaps that provides it with a happier ending?

what was the verse?

"Incence sweet, and cradled warm
Like lovers coddled, arm in arm.

Two souls, nomadic, fleeing harm:
That wicked, metal glen.

Now coming morn drives off the curse,
Too startled still to dare converse.

Both praying they have seen the worst;
So ends their tale -- Amen."

what does nomadic mean?

Ah... wandering or migrating from place to place.

so they ran away from the glen and that's it.

Not necessarily.

I think you'd have to read the actual material to fully appreciate how deep this poem goes, perhaps.

You should look into it, John; the art style is quite adorable.

maybe i'll try find it at the library!

Why even 8other writing something like that? There are no pir8s there are no ships there are no adventures!

I think there's an allusion to pirates when one of the characters... oh, what happens to him?

Oh. That's right.

He loses an eye.

As to John; the original story isn't in librarys- it was written online. We could search it up some time, if you like.

It's not what would usually my cup of tea, but it's actually a very enjoyable read.

can we? if there are pictures i want to see them!

Of course we can. In fact, I think I have one of Weaver's sketches of Ruby around here somewhere...

Here we go. Ruby being a pirate.

it's a bunny with a hook!

Indeed it is, dear.

it's cute!

I certainly thought so. I think you'd like quite a bit of Ruby Quest, actually.

There's even a bit of a love story in it- it's very, very sweet. The one mentioned in the poem, in fact.

where can i read it?

Ah, there's an online archive of Ruby Quest. I'll go search it up for you, if you like.

It was performed over an imageboard, you see.

really? that sounds pretty cool!
