'If you go astrally projecting from a car with tinted windows, can you get
back in? What if someone throws a big tarp over it?'

Page 13, Harlequin. "Beneath the surface, huge fish swim lazily back and
forth, glittering gold, orange, and white." (I'm impressed. Before ShadowRN
even. I wonder if Ehran used them on Harley?)

As character (Jin) tries to keep a troll from drowning in a pool of water :
"What would Scottish man do in this situation?" Jin starts screaming and
wailing in a girlie voice : "Heeeelp!" (Note: Scottish man is an inside
joke, and a Trideo series based on a character from a previous game... The
only girlie thing about him is that kilty thing he wears...)

Sorry? I didn't understand a word of that....
What's so special about these fish?
And what's this about not being able to project through a car door?
Eh?

As for the last bit.... Even more ??????


Am I missing half a converstion here?

The nifty fish are "CARP". As in, "THWAP" with the 1,000 year old
smelly
thing...carp launchers, carp shields, etc...as to the tarp over the windows
can the guy projecting get back in (that I snipped, sorry), I haven't a clue
atm...
