i hate this

the sky has been leaking for DAYs... WEEKS??

it's so cold my eyes are frozen!

i hate this weird white water

i want to go outside...

[ A photo of a colored pencil drawing is attached... depicting Alberto "(in a blanket)" beside his familiar Carlo and his pet compsognathus Sofia, trapped inside his home "(forever?)," labeled "cold, alone... and fed up!" beneath falling snow — AKA "weird white water??? (every day...!!!)" — outside the window... All of them clearly "very unhappy" — the sheer image of misery itself. ]

SO!
let's trade!!!
anyone who can help me find or make something like this, i'll cook you food or something, whatever, we'll talk......
but as soon as possible,
i need one of THESE:

[ Another image is attached of Alberto wearing what... seems to be a diver's suit? Or something??? Holding a "giant umbrella" in one hand and Sofia on a leash in a harness in the other, Carlo floating above, all "dry, safe, warm, and NOT at home..." There's still plenty of ~~snow~~ white water around them, "but not on Alberto!" Most importantly, though, in this drawing, they're all happy! — as... baffling as it is to anyone else, surely... No thanks, no niceties, just complaints and demands, urgent, desperate, and maybe a little, um, bizarre? Un po. The kid's gone mad with cabin fever, possibly? This is... well... th-this is something. Definitely something. Ahem. ]

non Should I tell you if you are getting colder or warmer in regards to the type?

i thought you said you wouldnt tell me, eh? but you wanna give me hints?

Do you really want to do this all day?

im trapped inside
i have time
🙃

fair enough

alright then

what about...
police
but like
SECRET police

[ He's making this up, he doesn't know that's even a thing. ]

No. But that’s a little warm.

woah really??
ok

OH IVE GOT IT
superhero!!!

[ He knows a couple of those here! Totally a fair guess! ]

No.

[Not like the heroes that go to hero school. More like vigilante outlaw.]

[ Hmm... maybe he meant, like, the opposite of police. He deals with police in his job. Police would want to arrest him. Like a criminal. ]

youre not a thief
so you dont steal stuff
but maybe you SELL stolen stuff
and make a profit
so the police are out to get you too!

your an illegal... stuff... monger?

[ Big brain, Alberto. ]

No.

giant crazy cat trader

il maggiore would DEFINITELY have a problem with a cat like uri running around portorosso!! i mean you'd at least get a TICKET or something!

Uri was a GIFT!

yikes
ok

[ Questioning who the hell thought to give that thing as a gift, but okay. ]

secret sea monster hunter?

no And you’re getting colder. I would love to be a mystery hunter. But unfortunately I am not

you'd love to hunt sea monsters? serioudly?

[ Pausing this game momentarily just to dwell on that point. ]

No. I’m hunting the mystery, and it’s not just sea monsters. It’s like… I want my job to be proving that mysterious creatures exist! It doesn’t mean much in this world. Also my familiar is a Lariosauro.

so if you found one youd kidnap it, but not murder it? or what?

i dont know what a lariosauro is
im guessing some kinda mysterious monster?

I would neither capture or murder it. Lariosauro is a sea monster. Kind of looks like a strange giant lizard?

never heard of him

but thats all good to know
we'll revisit that

anyway

secret bodyguard

you’re very warm

bodyguard...
secret police...

are you a good guy or a bad guy

[ gruihsjknd Alberto this isn't a movie or a comic book or something, you're talking to a real person ]

Im not involved with the police.

do the police want to arrest you
or give you a ticket

[ He's not even really sure what police arrest people for. He's only seen the police in Portorosso write parking tickets, really. ]

No…?

[In which world?]
