'FINALLY!! Ya, ha, ha! Take that, you spiteful Sage. I'm silent no longer!'

While the goose telepathically roared with laughter, Rizz's initial line of questions was crumpled up and tossed aside. A new question took shape before Rizz could even take a peak at the goose's stats. 

'Sage? That damn stooge did this to you?!'

'YA! Ha, ha, ha! That's what you get, you fat-nosed thief!'
