ACE: It seems there's more than crazy robots and waste down here after all.
WITTY: Yes, like guys without the slightest sense of diplomacy.
Robomeks (Witty, Ace and Vincent) are tied to a pole, surrounded by more sewer boys, all of them holding spears menacingly.
VINCENT: I'm sorry to interrupt you, but I think we better focus on other subjects. Like how wharp do you think those spears are.
They happen to be in the center of a kind of underground village formed by shacks. There's more people surrounding them.
VINCENT: Or if are they vegetarian.
A couple kids are playing with the equipment of Robomeks. A boy is examining a popgun. A girl is sitting besides him, checking a battery backpack. She's holding the end of a cable, inquiringly.
SEWER GIRL: ?
WITTY: Hey kids, leave that alone! It's dangerous!
ACE (off): And expensive.
The girl connects the cable to the backpack and the popgun the boy is examining shoots him in the face.
*CLICK* *KZZZZZT*
The boy looks in shock, his hair all spiked. The girl seems embarrassed.
SEWER GIRL: Oops.

Somebody learned an important lesson in gun safety today! That or discovered an awesome new hairstyling technique. Either way, progress!
That’s it. There’s always a bright side!
“Like how sharp those spears are”
“Or if they are vegetarians”
I think those are what Ace’s should be, not sure.
Thanks, Gig. This time I’ll take part of your advice only. The vegetarians thing was a leftover of a poorly constructed translation in the previous bubble. Anyway, I should have changed that myself, as I already felt it didn’t work.
The sharp spears thing, hmm… This time I’m translating directly from spanish and that’s the closest I’ve come up with, so the “do you think” should stay for fidelity reasons, I think.
Anyway, you also spotted another area that needed clarification. It’s Vincent, not Ace, the one talking this time. Yes, he’s the one trying to make a joke for once, and the poor thing wasn’t getting any credit for it. Balloon tails should be clearly pointing at him now..
