[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.

Aw, I was hoping you were going to say 'R'!

Sorry, can't pull the wool over my eyes.

[At least, not when she's heard the joke before.]

"Did you hear about these new reversible jackets? I'm excited to see how they turn out."

[Vash lets off a howl of laughter at the joke. Instantly forgetting he was mildly upset that she heard his last joke.]

Yeah? Well this one time I went to the doctor and they told me I hate Type-A blood, but it was actually a Type-O.

Never heard that one... I don't get it, though. What's the pun?

[Someone not from an era with working computers doesn't know what typos are, sadly.]

Oh, a typo is when you type something on a typewriter, but you spelled it wrong. Because it's written in ink and you can't erase it they call it a typo!

I mean, I guess you can call it a typo when you make a mistake with a regular pen, but pretty sure they called it a typo because of the typewriter! So yeah, it means they made a writing mistake when jotting down my blood type! They thought one thing, but it was wrong! So it was a type-o!

...Ohhh. Gotcha.

I guess with some jokes you just have to know the tech for it. There's a lot in my book that I don't understand at all.

Sadly I suppose that's true, and once you explain the joke it's not really that funny anymore! It's sad how that works sometimes.

Kind of the downside of puns, yeah. Explaining them makes them so not fun at all.

[There's no helping it, really, in a jamjar place like this.]

Yeah, reminds me of a friend of mine who sent I ten puns to. I had hoped that at least one of the puns would make him laugh. No pun in ten did.

[She giggles again.]

That's the name of my book, actually!

HA! [The laugh is very loud and very amused.] That's a pretty good title for a book if you ask me!

That's probably why they decided to make two of them.

I can believe there's enough puns to fill a whole library actually!
