ACT II SCENE I
The view fades to show NINJA FINGER landing on Oddland's shore. PRESIDENT NA, YIY's sister, is waiting for him.
PRESIDENT NA: You're just in time!
NINJA FINGER: For what?
NA: I figured it would take just about that long for you to get the letter, decide not to come here, and then change your mind and come here anyway.
NINJA FINGER: You were one of the people who sent the letter?
NA holds out her hand.
NA: President Na of Oddland.
NINJA FINGER shakes her hand with himself.
And you're Ninja Finger.
NINJA FINGER lets go of her hand.
NINJA FINGER: Yep. How did you know that I would come?
NA: The odd that gives you talkiness won't let you not help odd when people ask you to.
NINJA FINGER: Huh? I don't understand the... language... of odd.
NA: You'll figure it out eventually.
NINJA FINGER: If you mean that because you think I'm odd--
NA: I know you're odd.
NINJA FINGER: Just because I'm a talking thumb doesn't mean--
NA: Of course it does!
NINJA FINGER: No it DOESN'T!!!!
NA: A thumb doesn't just randomly start talking.
NINJA FINGER: I. Am. Not. ODD!!!!!!
NA: You'll admit it once you see what odd is really like.
NINJA FINGER: If telling me to come here was just a trick to help me "bring out my inner odd", then--
NA: No everything we said on the letter is true there is really a colony of cowfish that needs saving and no one else has been able to do it it's just a few minute's walk north of here at a place called Cowfish Pond so go there and get the job over with I have other stuff to do. Bye.
She walks away.
NINJA FINGER: Well that was... odd...
NA suddenly runs back, carrying a bag.
NA: Oh, you'll need this but don't eat it.
She gives him the bag, then runs away again. NINJA FINGER looks into the bag and sniffs.
NINJA FINGER: What is this? Smells like chicken. Why do I need this if I can't eat it?
He sighs, clearly regretting ever coming to this place.
Well, let's get this over with.
He starts walking north.
