[It's been quiet for a little bit, and that always makes Ellie suspicious. Even without the interference of their captors, it seems like people are still having trouble with this or that. Whether it's the departure of friends, or a misunderstanding, or just... day to day living being kind of rough on someone? She's been seeing it all over the place. She's not used to caring, but with everyone so open in Luceti, it's hard not to.

So, upon discovering what she's been searching for the last several months finally, finally in the library, she makes a decision. If it's peace that they're getting, she's going to enjoy it as much as possible.]

Okay, Luceti...ans, whatever. Time to lighten the mood.

[There's a sound of a page turning, and she clears her throat.]

"Newsflash: Police were called to a daycare... where a three-year-old was resisting a rest." ...eh.

"I did a theatrical performance about puns. Really... it was just a play on words." Psssh. Cute.

"He drove his expensive car into a tree and found out how the Mercedes bends." ...I don't get that one, actually.

"The man who survived mustard gas and pepper spray... is now a seasoned veteran." [Snigger.]

"Did you hear about the guy whose whole left side was cut off? ...He's all right now." Ohhh, ha ha, that one's mean.

[The page turns again.]

Got more where that came from. Anyone else have some jokes to share? We can swap.

[Alright Ellie, you've hit Seto's easily hit funny bone. He starts laughing]

Those are really good, Ellie! I don't think I've heard any of those jokes before. I think I have a good one to share with you though...

Okay. I'm glad I know sign language, it's pretty handy. [He may have read a joke book before in his time here]

[Oh, he could get into those. Hajime giggles before he manages to speak his contribution]

Where are most fish found?

[Another giggle]

Between the head and the tail!

[A mixture of snorts, laughs, and a few groans could be heard over the journal as Bobby listened in. He was so up for this!]

I wondered why the baseball was getting bigger. Then it hit me.

I'm reading a book about anti-gravity. It's impossible to put down.

Or, or! When William joined the army he disliked the phrase 'fire at will'.

[These were followed by him cracking up at his own jokes.]

Wh- oh my god, I've never heard that one!

[She should be writing these new ones down. And here she thought she'd heard them all.]

"The experienced carpenter really nailed it, but the new guy screwed everything up."

[..........]

Actually, that one isn't bad. Okay, you've redeemed yourself a little, congratulations.

"I was going to look for my missing watch, but I could never find the time."

[The best kind of humour is always dark, duh Teddy.]

Haha! That one sounds kind of familiar. Hmm... "The roundest knight at king Arthur's round table was Sir Cumference."

[She never got that one before. Now she's glad she goes to school now.]

[She giggles. Excellent, excellent, lots of people are on board with this. Luceti's better than she thought with puns.]

Not bad, not bad! How about... "There was a big paddle sale at the boat store. It was quite an oar deal."

They're puns! It's from my favourite book, I just found it at the library.

Ooh, I like it! I've got another pirate one, um... "What's a pirate's favourite letter?"

You gotta guess this one, everyone loves to.

Hah! I love a classic.

[She used that one with Riley and Joel, heh.]

"I relish the fact that you've mustard the strength to ketchup to me."

Ohhh, that one's... [Kinda lame, but in a good way. She grins. This was the best idea.] "I used to be addicted to soap, but I'm clean now."

Well, yeah. It didn't actually happen, it's just a joke.

Pffft.

[Wait, is that a talking- ...what is that, actually. She squints at the page.]

...Um... okay-

[Focus, Ellie, focus. Maybe you'll figure it out.]

"Smaller babies may be delivered by stork but the heavier ones need a crane."

I have! He's the guy with the accent who can teleport, right?

Happy to serve. [Sometimes, anyway.] And... I don't think it's based on an actual story, so you can probably just ignore it. No three-year-olds were harmed in the making of this joke.

I think I've heard that one! It was a long time ago, though. Still awesome.

See if you've heard this: "Sleeping comes so naturally to me, I could do it with my eyes closed."

Ehhhh... [Well, could be better, could be worse. He looks young so she'll forgive him.] That one's kinda cute!

Check this: "When a clock is hungry it goes back four seconds."

All good! I approve. Never heard the last one before!

[She had no idea Luceti had such a good sense of humour.]

Let's see... "I was going to buy a book on phobias, but I was afraid it wouldn't help me."

Oooh! That's a good one! But do you know what a pirate's favourite letter is?

A joke? Being split in two does not seem like a very funny joke to me.

I'm so relieved to hear that... But I can't just ignore it! Even if the child wasn't hurt, calling the police in is just going too far! The poor child.

"I stayed up all night to find out what happened to the sun, and then it dawned on me." How's that?

[This is not her best field but she's known some funny people.]

[... Well he can't very well back down now can he? His honor is at stake.]

Two firebenders were in a debate, I heard it was quite a heated discussion.

Yes, that's him. He loves saying things just like this. If you want to keep him busy for a while, ask him for water and ice jokes. [The kind Mia receives most frequently, as it happens.]

I'm no good at it myself, or I'd try one.

[Oo, excellent one. Ginia's definitely taking notes.]

Hear the owl telling jokes at the comedy club? Heard he was a real hoot.
