Description
"This week, a new guest joins Chunt, Usidore, and I in the Vermilion Minotaur: A common, dirty traveler named Tom. I’m hoping to hear what life outside of Hogface is like from someone who has traveled across Foon."
Summary
Arnie and his co-hosts meet Tom the Traveler, a common, dirty, performer with the theater troupe The Cockticklers, claiming to be from Scrr. Tom explains how theater troupes work in Foon including how they got their name, Murder Plays, The Five Bees. Usidore is suspicious.
But after commenting on how beautiful Tom's skin is, Usidore confronts him and the truth comes out.
Tom is not a common traveler, but rather Tomblain Belaroth, prince of the Northeast Kingdom and heir to the throne. He explains that he ran away because he fell in love with a milkmaid even though he was supposed to marry a princess. Usidore encourages him to retake his throne, to help the kingdom withstand the Dark Lord.
Tom's absence from his home and love is compared to Arnie's absence from Earth. Tom agrees to consider his situation.
