[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.

No idea, buuuut I'm sure you'll tell me.

Because if they flew over the bay, they'd be bagels! [Sweet, delicious, bagels.]

[Oh god, that's terrible. Terrible and awesome.]

And who doesn't like bagels, really. Um...

"Workers in an upholstery business demanded a wage hike to cushion the high cost of living."

Heh. [That one didn't tickle her funny bone as much.]

A man stole a case of soap from the corner store. The police said he made a clean getaway.

Ha! Police jokes, love it. Here's one:

"The midget psychic escaped from prison, the police bulletin said. ...He was a small medium at large."

[Okay that one got her laughing up a storm. She's going to take a minute to calm down before tossing in another joke.]

Iris was a a private eye who was often in the public eye.

Ehhh...

[Could be better, could be worse. Ellie just takes it as a challenge.]

"What kind of flooring do alligator hunters use? ...Reptiles!"

Oh archmages, don't tell a dragon that joke, might not end well. [If she had the video on, Ellie would of seen Karis bring her hand up to cover her mouth. She was grinning, but wow that was bad.]

Two peanuts were walking in a tough neighborhood and one of them was a-salted.

I've... never met any dragons, so I think I'm safe. I've heard that one, though! It's one of the first in my book.

Hmm, then let's try a different one. [Hopefully she'll think of one that's not on the first page.]

The one thing I don't get is why bananas are so a-peeling.

...Pshh. Not bad, not bad! I should actually try a banana at some point. Never had one.

Wow, really? They're pretty good! I always have a bunch of them in my apartment. [Karis, was that an unintentional pun?]
