[Then YOU JUST MIGHT HAVE THE LUCK to be approached by a small child in increasingly-grubby conditions as the day goes on. You'd think he'd have learned his lesson about approaching strangers by this point, but if he has, it's not stopping him.]

[He will approach anyone and everyone who stops long enough to make eye contact, but instead of challenging you to a Pokemon battle, he will instead thrust the image above, finger-painted on a scrap of filthy paper rather than a crappy .jpg at you. He's still got paint on his fingers. Maybe his beseeching puppydog-blue eyes (the most pitiful ones he can MANAGE) will outweigh the unintentionally-horrifying nature of the three portraits.]

[THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU CARE ABOUT PEOPLE, RALPH]

Someday sounds really far away.

I'd rather find them soon.

H-hey, some day might come sooner than you think!

[Action]

[garbagechild]

I hope so.

_{[Wrath sighs again and plants his chin in the middle of Ralph's spiky hair.]}

Can we get something to eat?

My stomach is starting to snarl.

I hear ya loud'n clear, kiddo. Wanna swing by the hotdog place? I could suddenly go for a chili dog.

[Action]

[garbagechild]

That sounds good. I like hot dogs. I didn't know they had chilly dogs, too. Are they as good as the hot ones?

Action]

[rocketralph]

They're hotter than hot dogs if you'd believe it.
