"Hey, I read somewhere that mathematicians can conduct the Rokkenjima Massacre without the use of magic."

"Yes, that's true."

"What's the big deal? Just add a 19th person to the island."

"Sure, but the point is to do it without adding new people to the island."

"But then it seems impossible!"

"You're right. You cannot see it without love. You have to understand the rules of the game."

“The sphere is made of an abstract, elastic material that can stretch and bend and pass through itself, but you cannot rip or puncture this material without destroying it and you cannot crease it or bend it sharply.”

“But then there’s no way! It’s impossible! You’d have to crease or pinch it to turn it inside out! It’s useless! It’s all useless!!!”

“KYAHAHAHAHHA!!! You incompetent swine, watch what is possible with my magic!”

“…Is… Is this it? *sob* Is this a sphere turning inside out?”

so basically Big Oil owns the US government, and the government owns the military. we are at war with Venezuela for two obvious reasons: first, we're going to kill people until they're defeated enough to agree to sell their oil reserves to Big Oil at a price that makes Big Oil smile. secondly, we're going to kill people and blow a bunch of infrastructure to smithereens in order to punish Venezuela for selling their oil to countries that the USA currently frowns at. this is generally what happens when a country with a lot of resources that the USA wants attempts to nationalize their industries; we cause a coup and install finks who are willing to bleed their country dry for us in exchange for being made personally wealthy. have I missed anything? oh yeah our glorious leader has declared fentanyl a WMD. have I missed anything of substance, though?

lemonade, which is wet and cold, having a water aspect.

finally vodka, which is also cold, but dry, has an earth aspect
