[Well, what a fun and easy mission, Players! There's a variety of films, and enough time to see the one you want!

But before you get excited, keep in mind that to complete the mission the whole movie must be watched. And that means at least one Player has to stay in the same spot for the entire duration. Just something to think about.]

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

Not at all! Because I confess
That, exactly, was my guess.

[shinbunshinobi]

Well now, I must be losing my touch if I'm so easy to figure out.

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

[Her smile turns mischievous.]

Were you meaning to keep it hid?
I'm afraid you failed, if you did.

[shinbunshinobi]

Oh no. Whatever shall I do?

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

Don't despair or pitch a fit...

[Zecora winks broadly.]

I promise you won't die of it.

[shinbunshinobi]

That's a relief because a game in a game seems like too much work.

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

Perhaps if you died from internal strife
You would instead come back to life?

[She's joking. She doesn't believe this. Don't try it.]

[shinbunshinobi]

You know, that sounds messy. I don't think I'll do that.

[He gives a wink. He's not like that guy who would probably believe such a thing.]

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

I think that is for the best.
Let's win the Game, not seek a rest.

[shinbunshinobi]

Now that I can agree with. Although, you know, this movie watching does seem like a rest.

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

That is true -- and that is strange.
I wonder what brought on this change.

[shinbunshinobi]

I'd ask, but I don't think they'd give me a straight answer. Might as well take what we can get right now.

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

I hope it's not a clever ruse.
That would be the worst of news.

[shinbunshinobi]

And knowing that it could be one works in our favor.

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

We could be facing a dark trick
That we can't defeat by being strong or quick.
We have to watch the movie through
One of us, or maybe two.
Suppose they turn it off midway
How then could we pass this day?

[shinbunshinobi]

Let's look at it this way. If they turn the movie off, none of us pass... which leaves them with a very empty game. All we can to right now is watch and try to notice anything suspicious.

Or, you can watch the movie, and I can keep a look out for anything suspicious.

[It isn't jogging anything in his memory anyways, so he's lost some interest in this Kenshin.]

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

I suppose if that is how they chose to act
They'd use a Noise that requires a Pact.
There is too much we do not know.
But I guess that the chances are fairly low.

[shinbunshinobi]

[Sasuke is quiet for a moment before he speaks again.]

Do they have these in your world? Movies or something similar?

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

To hit the entertainment scene
We watch a play, not a screen.

[shinbunshinobi]

I'm guessing you don't have anything like a camera either.

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

A camera? You mean the device
That takes photographs, quick and nice?

[shinbunshinobi]

The very thing.

[How do they even use it with their hooves?]

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

They were more common in Ponyville
Than my homeland, make of that what you will.

[shinbunshinobi]

[He laughs]

Honestly, I'm not sure what to make of your world. It sounds like something out of a cartoon.

[zebrarhyme_everytime]

You're simply giving me that line
Because you're not used to a talking equine!

[Zecora laughs. She forgives him; this must be strange to him, stranger than it is to her, used to other sentient species as she is.]
