Sooo if anyone else was having memory problems like I was, turns out the oasis near here can fix that if you drink from it. Just be fast, because those weird little cactus guys aren't very friendly... Yeesh, why does every plant here want to kill us?

Anyway, I feel like we need some kind of... storytelling club around here. Me 'n' Eddy had a pretty good time swapping stories from home, and I think it'd help us all get to know each other better if we shared in bigger groups. Just not your research papers, you nerds. I'm talking about actual fun stories! Like movies you liked or just funny stuff that happened back home. Actually have some fun around here for once.

Just because we're stuck in an apocalypse doesn't mean we have to be boring about it!

Anyway, Leon over.

[Oh that's a relief. He'll just need to convince Jack...]

What's a movie?

[faceguy]

It’s like, uh… a moving picture? With color and sound.

[A brilliant description.]

[bufudine]

...Like a serial?

[A TV serial?]

[faceguy]

Uh, well, I've never called it a serial. [The heck kind of old man word is that?] But I guess so?

[bufudine]

[w o w, Serph is younger than you, Leo!!]

I've only seen the ones SecUnit had.

[And there were many, many episodes. Serph liked them, though.]

What movies do you like?

[faceguy]

[Huh, so other people have brought videos here with them.]

My favorites are the Jupiter Jim movies, but of course I love Lou Jitsu movies too! Jupiter Jim is about space adventures, and Lou Jitsu is an action star.

[Does Serph even understand any of that…]

[bufudine]

[If it wasn't for watching Worldhoppers, he would have had zero clue about what a 'space adventure' would entail. So there's that, at least...]

What's an action star?

[faceguy]

They make movies where they’re fight bad guys with big flashy action moves! Like kicks and punches and hitting people with fish!

[He even makes a few exaggerated kung fu movie noises for effect.]

[bufudine]

[???????????????????]

...Why hit people with fish?

[faceguy]

They're very effective as improvised weaponry.

[bufudine]

[There is a very long pause as Serph genuinely considers the viability of fish as an improvised weapon.

...

...... Sorry, he's just not seeing it.]

Aren't fish slippery and difficult to hold?

[faceguy]

Not if you get good.

[Skill issue.]
