[The video opens to Keith staring at the camera, outside in the sun with some kids screaming off camera. He looks back, then adjusts the camera to show balloons and tables of food and gifts. Keith himself looks a bit torn and ready to run.]

Uh. So....

Wanted to give a head's up, I might -- [He ducks as a small ball whizzes past over the camera from behind him.] Take a little longer getting back to the Islands than I thought? Got a little held up.

[There's a particularly louder scream off camera, and he turns to shout HEY! KNOCK IT OFF! Keith sighs and stares dead at the camera.]

...Any advice on kids?

Take the cake, and at least one balloon, and run.

_{[... is this kid's advice. Straight from the mouths of babes.]}

[Video]

[whatsacactus]

[While a tempting option, Keith isn't a total asshole.]

It's the kids', I'm not gonna do that.

[garbagechild]

<sub>[Unlike Keith, Wrath is pure asshole in the form of a preteen.]

[He is, however, capable of reason.]</sub>

What if you left the cake and only took two balloons?

_{[That sounds pretty reasonable to him.]}

[Video]

[whatsacactus]

[Now there's an idea.]

...Could work.

Wait, why would I want balloons anyway?

[Video]

[garbagechild]

Why wouldn't you want balloons?

_{[HE HAS A POINT KEITH. YOU KNOW HE'S RIGHT. YOU KNOW YOU WANT SOME BALLOONS.]}

[Video]

[whatsacactus]

What would I do with them?

[Video]

[garbagechild]

Um, all kinds of things?

You could see how many times you can hit it with your fist while still holding onto the string.

Or you could give yourself a very squeaky voice by inhaling their life force and taking it for yourself.

I have done both.

_{[Probably at the same time.]}

[Video]

[whatsacactus]

Or I could let Torracat play with them...

[Torracat meows loudly at the camera in response to that. She's into it!]

I don't think it'd last more than one punch.

[Video]

[garbagechild]

... Yeah, you'd probably have to take way more than just two balloons if that's what you'd use them for.

[Video]

[whatsacactus]

Yeah. I wouldn't use them for that though.

[Video]

[garbagechild]

You could draw a face of someone you don't like on the balloons and then punch them, yourself.

[Video]

[whatsacactus]

...That I can do.

[He doesn't necessarily hate Iverson, but he wouldn't mind punching him again.]

Good plan, little guy.

[Video]

[garbagechild]

All my plans are excellent.

_{[They're definitely not.]}

[Video]

[whatsacactus]

This one is at least.
