Except (hic) where I’m from, we calls it a farm… Node004->Node042 You mentioned something about a garden earlier. Tell me more. Node046 [He sobers up quickly and begins to tell his tale.] I used to be an upstanding citizen before coming here. I was a peaceful farmer that worked the fields as hard as any man -- until they started showing up at night. All glowing, with pasty white skins... Spooked the hell out of me, it did. Night after night they showed up and stole crops and cattle alike; I could do nothing to stop them. I know what you’re gonna say - "Why didn’t you ask for help?" I tell ya, I did! Nobody would believe me, they thought I was crazy. Finally, it just became too much for me. I COULDN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE! I just up and left and came here -- and here I’ve been ever since.

You can’t tell, but the lizard is either 3 inches long or 3 feet long.] Node013->Node014 No, I’m looking for a GECK, not a gecko. Node042->Node999 Forget it, this is going nowhere. Node042->Node013 Don’t you remember? We were talking about the GECK, and you mentioned a garden. Node990->Node012 Node990->Node016 Node011 [Karl’s mouth drops open in surprise] Thanks!

I’ll see you around, Karl. Node016->Node013 I’m looking for a GECK; can you help me?
