[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.

Two fish are in a tank. One turns to the other and says, "You man the guns and I'll steer!"

Also Mercedes bends is a play on the car manufacturer Mercedes-Benz.

These are terrible.

[Zuko isn't going to admit that he didn't get them all but he was sure they were all equally bad. If he didn't know better he'd think she was taking lessons from Sokka.]

[Ellie, what have you done. What have you done.]

Did you hear about the guy who got hit by a can of soda? Good thing it was a soft drink.

[scootch]

[She can't help laughing at that. That is a good one, even if she hates tanks now. (Thanks, Pittsburgh.)]

Okay, that makes more sense now. Um...

"There was once a cross-eyed teacher who couldn't control his pupils."

[Voice]

[scootch]

Yeah, well, so is your sense of humour.

[Don't rain on her parade, Zuko, gosh!!]

[whiskytraitorfirefight]

[Oh, that one is good-not-good. She'll have to remember that one.]

Have you heard about the vegan zombies? They want to eat your GRAAAAAIIINNNNS.

[Voice]

[scootch]

[SOMETHING AMAZING DUH]

I've heard that one, actually!

[She laughs, though, because it's still funny.]

"The butcher backed up into the meat grinder and got a little behind in his work."

[scootch]

[WHY ARE CANNIBAL JOKES STILL FUNNY FOR HER

It's terrible and she laughs anyway.]

Oh god, don't talk about zombies.

"Did you hear about the crime that happened in a parking garage? It was wrong on so many levels."

[whiskytraitorfirefight]

No more zombies, got it.

Man walks into a bar. Should have watched where he was going.

[Voice]

[halfnhalf]

Ew. [Still, he laughs, because ew but funny ew.]

How do you make holy water? You boil the hell out of it.

[comicallyheroic]

[Well finally! Something funny that isn't making him feel bad for someone else...]

Hey did you ever hear about the fire at the circus? The heat was in tents!

[He can't help but chuckle at his own cleverness for that...awful, awful pun.]

[Voice]

[dancing_flames]

Those are supposed to be jokes?

[He honestly isn't sure.]

[Voice]

[spellfeather]

Novice pirates make terrible singers because they can't hit the high seas.

[respect_points47]

I was struggling to figure out how lightning works then it struck me.

[...She wouldn't have laughed at that one two years ago though.]

[Voice]

[goldenglasses]

[Vash breaks out in loud, rambunctious laughter at these jokes. A little less at the ones that mention things that he's never heard of, but at that point he's laughing so hard and loud it doesn't really matter.

Eventually he starts to get his laughter under control just enough to say his own.]

Do you know why bananas are so popular? It's because they have a peel!

[Voice]

[elongatedsmile]

If a man where cut in half he would not be alright. He would be dead. [Nope. Doesn't get any of these.]

[Voice]

[sitalion]

[Stefano's clapping his flippers at the jokes.]

I got-a one! "Cannibals don't-a like to eat-a clowns, because they taste-a funny!"

Get it?

[frost_jewel]

Please tell me you've already met Kurt. This is his favorite game.

My sense of humor is fine.

[And he's going to prove it.]

[One of uncle's tea jokes, go!]

Why did the teapot get in trouble?

Some of those really did make me feel a lot better, so thank you! [Not that she was feeling down in the first place, this one is usually all smiles and sunshine anyway.] I have to wonder about the poor three year old though. Naps are very important, but maybe they just weren't tired?

[Still, that's no reason to get the police involved...]
