[Seems like Ed really likes that chalk she's got. This time, out on Beulah street, and actually on the road itself, Ed's written in very large letters:

DON'T BELIEVE THE LIES!

The words are inexplicably surrounded by cartoon animals, hearts, and flowers.

Ed is standing on the sidewalk, admiring her handiwork.]

[A cat stares at the letters.]

You know, a more specific message might be more useful.

[Ed only stares at the cat in surprise for a split second before she recovers and shrugs nonchalantly.]

Lies shouldn't ever be believed.

[bell-bound.livejournal.com]

Of course not. Which makes your message all the more pointless.

[timeforjam.livejournal.com]

Even pointless things have points somewhere.

[bell-bound.livejournal.com]

No, they don't. Otherwise they would not be pointless. Have you anything coherent to say?

[timeforjam.livejournal.com]

Maybe they don't when you look at 'em from one way. If you look at just the bottom of a cone all you see is a circle, but then you change it and suddenly there's a point on one end!

[bell-bound.livejournal.com]

Does this metaphor actually apply to your badly-drawn scrawls here?

[Ed just grins.]

[And Mogget just gives her an unimpressed look before walking off.]

[Ed bends down and draws an unimpressed-looking cat on the sidewalk. She stands up, appraises it, nods her head, and goes back in the house.]
