CharlsNChrg: People are talking.

CharlsNChrg: They are talking about talking. About the talking you're doing.
LordHamster: Me? I'm not talking to anybody.
LordHamster: I'm not even sure we're talking right now.

LordHamster: Not to mention toilet paper. I'm so HAPPY! XD
LordHamster: Yeah we haven't lost one, either.
CharlsNChrg: What I am saying is, your Chief Warlord Ansom has ceased to conquer, and has been looking for allies.
CharlsNChrg: It seems he is trying to drive a wedge in the Coalition.
LordHamster: That would be smart, but no.
CharlsNChrg: No?
LordHamster: I mean yeah we're up against the diminishing Schmuckers point, so it's a good time to pause and do diplomacy. But Ansom's not about that.
LordHamster: He's trying to convert the entire Coalition to ...Toolism or whatever you'd call it.
CharlsNChrg: Ah. I see.
CharlsNChrg: Even after Unaroyal?
LordHamster: Yup.
LordHamster: Can't let something like that stop the Good News, brother!
LordHamster: You should be happy, though. Right? You're a Tool.
CharlsNChrg: I'm nobody's tool, Parson.
LordHamster: Oh? Not even the Titans?
CharlsNChrg: ...
CharlsNChrg: We'll see.
LordHamster: So you really don't buy into this big idea that attuning is a "new Titanic mandate?" Even though you're attuned.
LordHamster: That is interesting, Charlie. Almost more interesting than toilet paper.
LordHamster: Though my ass would disagree.
