A Funny Thing Happened On the Way
A Funny Thing Happened On the Way

You decide to take a short break from this ridiculous war, and find a tree to sit under out of the way for a while. It turns out this particular tree has had quite a few visitors before, as there's a scraped-off section of bark with line after line of hobo glyphs carved into it, each line done in a slightly different style.

You open up your binder and spend a good hour or so working out the symbols. It turns out to be sort of like a conversation, each line commenting on the previous writers' remarks:

"These guys are crazy. They're dying over which flavored sugar water is better!"

"Seriously, it's sad when people fight over something so trivial."

"Yeah, it's not like it's about railroad company pride or something."

"Loathing Pacific all the way baby!"

"Shut up, idiot, Transcontinental is totally superior!"

"STFU NOOB"

...and it goes on like that for a while. Against your better judgement, you make some notes in your hobo glyphs binder.
