97% sure.
Ninety-seven percent? What about the other three?
*Max shrugged* Dunno. Look, if you’re so concerned about it we can literally go over there and look.
We could? *he then frowns* I… should do it when the QM isn’t there..
I dunno when he’s not there, to be fair no one knows where he is half the time anyway.
Ugh… still, I’d better try to avoid him. In the meantime, maybe don’t swim in the lake or do anything with it until I figure out what’s in it. Unless the case is I find out there’s something bad in it, then you ought to continue not doing anything in it.
I wanna come too. That way even if, which is impossible, the kid is a “”ghost”” we can know if only kids can see him or not. *that’s clearly not the reason he wants to come but*
What? Why on Earth do you want to come? Max, you saw some things there, and I am absolutely not willing to put you in that situation again!
I don’t want to be here. Plus, I know where to avoid, so you don’t see shit.
I’m an adult – I’m really not concerned about myself. Max, it’s illegal for you to see… stuff like that.
Then he shouldn’t be doing that at a children’s fucking summer camp.
Hey, watch– *he stopped. Max was entirely justified in swearing in this case* No, absolutely he shouldn’t be doing that! Which is why I don’t want you going back to Spooky Island.
C’mon! I have a knife stick for protection and everything!
A… a knife stick??
Yeah. A stick with a pocket knife taped to it. Knife stick.
…
You can’t have that anymore. Take the knife off the stick.
Oh c’mon! It’s for protection!
The knife will pop off the stick and come back at you if you try to stab anything. it’s better to just have it in your hand.
That’s happened once and no one got hurt. It’s secure to the stick now.
Max, no. Knives do not go on sticks – they’re not designed to do that!
If they’re not designed to be taped to sticks then why is mine taped to a stick, huh?
Because you did that and you’re going to hurt yourself! Take it off the stick! Where are you keeping that thing, by the way?
Why would I tell you that?
Because I’m an adult. And I’m a scientist, so I’m smart. So you should listen to me.
