Triangle and Robert #2042	Inaction might count too. If I am aware that you are drowning and have the power to save you, delivering a monologue instead of doing so could be "killing". / I guess you survive. I have no idea how yet. / It's not like there's a submarine or something around to... um... right. That'll work then. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2042
Triangle and Robert #2043	Commander! Wake up, Commander! / Uhhhh? / You didn't need to actually throw yourself overboard. / Uhhh. / We need to get the commander to a doctor! He's been underwater too long! / How can we? We're still lost. / Get the radio working and break radio silence if you have to! The mission isn't worth a thing... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2043
Triangle and Robert #2044	Two problems. / Go on. / The radio is a block of wood with radio controls bolted to it. / So were were already sabotaged when we left port.... What's problem two? / We have termites. / Is that supposed to be funny? / I hope not. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2044
Triangle and Robert #2045	I don't think termites are going to be a significant threat. Navigation is the problem. / What if there was more sabotage than we know? / What can we do about it? We have to get Cube medical help as soon as possible. / I know that, but how? We can't navigate. We can't communicate. If we wait for the stars... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2045
Triangle and Robert #2046	Is that land or has the periscope also been sabotaged? / Open the hatch and look. / What if we're really still underwater? / The depth gauge could have been sabotaged. / You're mocking me. / Maybe this conversation was sabotaged! / I either order you to shut up or respectfully request that you shut up.... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2046

Triangle and Robert #2047	Excuse me, could you give a little exposition about yourselves? It looks like you might become important characters. / The Cartoonist! / Don't kill us! / Statistically, on-panel is the safest place to be. Most of the mass deaths happen between strips. / What do you want with us? / This is more open terror... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2047
Triangle and Robert #2048	Is he gone? / How could we tell? / I've read that things look different from inside the strip. / I don't see anything unusual. / It's too white. / Oh. So we're still in the strip and the Cartoonist is still watching us. / What's that? / My will. / You think anyone'll find it? / No idea. / Can I borrow that... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2048
Triangle and Robert #2049	Did you hand me the pen? / Yes, I handed you the pen. / I don't see it. / You didn't see it while I was holding it either. / Then how did I know you had it? / Those who the Gods would kill, they first make mad. / Is that what's happening? / The safest thing to do might be to kill ourselves now to avoid... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2049
Triangle and Robert #2209	My creation lives! / Look! It's moving! / Sleeping. He's sleeping. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2209
Triangle and Robert #2215	Speaking. I'm already on my way there, I saw it in the strip. If "geodar" is what I think it is, we have a trail to follow. / What are you asking me that for? You know-- What? The readers? They can just look it up in any-- the human readers. Right, the Cartoonist's humans don't have the same geometry... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2215

Triangle and Robert #2216	Polygon genetics were modeled after biological genetics. Two polygons, one male and one femaile, can construct a new polygon in accordance with well-defined genetic rules if both are sufficiently aged. / The age requirement is quite high, presumably because the Fourth Race wanted polygon stocks to remain... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2216
Triangle and Robert #2217	I'll be there in about half an hour. Get together a full set of adult geometry supplies. / I know it's embarassing, but that's how we can backtrace the enemy "geodar". / It's a guess, but not wild. / Then send Robert to buy them! / I don't know, put some facial hair on him first. You know that sort of... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2217
Triangle and Robert #2218	I could have worn a fake beard and gone in. / And if they saw through it and had you arrested? / Would they do that? / Robert, do you even remember why you're banned from geometry novelty shops? / I remember being told why. / You still can't remember doing it? / What DID you put in that linguini? / I don't... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2218
Triangle and Robert #2219	Cube called back. He's picked up the supplies and is coming here to set up the tracker. / ...He's coming here? / I guess he has to do it somewhere, but why are we automatically involved? / We're protagonists. / So why does Cube always get us doing what he wants done? / We're largely reactive protagonists... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2219
Triangle and Robert #2220	So you're saying the fault is in ourselves that we are underlings. / If fault indeed it be, and not a good. / Pentam'ter fights are not a skill of mine. / I'm sorry, friend, I did not mean for one. / And yet your meter something something... yeah. What's that to make it, forty-eight to five? / That really... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2220

Triangle and Robert #2221	Cube's coming over! I'd better get the place ready! / Ready? / We can't have him walk into the middle of a big mess. / There's no m... you're going to make a big mess so you have something to clean. / Too predictable? / If I say yes you'll make it dumber. Let's say... not predictable ENOUGH. / I will accept... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2221
Triangle and Robert #2222	So the Cartoonist has challenged me to be as predictable as possible, to keep me from causing trouble during whatever Cube is going to do. / I figure a useless recap which establishes part of the situation but actually explains nothing is the most predictable thing to do at this point. So I did it. / Now... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2222
Triangle and Robert #2223	What other highly predictable actions should I take? / / Yeah, we do that all the time. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2223
Triangle and Robert #2224	Devolving into a maze of self-reference really is the most predictable course for any Triangle and Robert situation to take. It doesn't stay there forever, though. / The most predictable way out is switching to another character, but that's something the Cartoonist does, not something I do. What do... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2224
Triangle and Robert #2225	The problem with spinning the Wheel of Self-Reference is that every space on it just says "Spin the Wheel of Self-Reference." / Except the space that says "HAWAII". But you don't actually win Hawaii, you just win a trip TO Hawaii, and only if you solve the puzzle. / No one ever solves the puzzle. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2225

Triangle and Robert #2226	Hello? Hello? Could someone let me in? Triangle? Robert? Are you home? / I can hear Robert in there. Why isn't he answering the door? Can he hear me out here? / That whining sounded eldritch. I'm either breaking the door down and charging in there or running away, but I haven't decided which yet. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2226
Triangle and Robert #2227	Oh! Cube! I didn't hear you come in! / You didn't hear me blast your door open with thermite? / It's not wooden. / What? / How could you get through a metal door with termites? / I said thermite! / Who? / Make that whining noise stop! / I don't know how! http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2227
Triangle and Robert #2228	Are you holding a brick? I thought I saw a brick. / Um. / That brick was from the artifact room. You unsealed it. / Um. / This is why Triangle and I installed backup precautions we didn't tell you about. / Um. / Are those wire cutters? http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2228
Triangle and Robert #2229	Where's Triangle? / Um. / I didn't come here to save whatever needs saving from whatever it is you've unleashed this time. To be honest, I'm a little upset and disappointed that I have to. / The triangle is no longer with you. His soul is mine. / Um. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2229
Triangle and Robert #2230	What exactly does it mean by Triangle's soul being its? / Um. / What sort of possession are we dealing with here? The more we know, the less likely we are to have to resort to an unsatisfying deus ex machina. / Um... it came out of a can that said 'peanut brittle', if that helps. / Serpent god? http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2230

Triangle and Robert #2231	Long I have slept, awaiting the mortal fool enough to unseal me from my novelty prison. Now I shall seek my revenge, and neither of you shall impede me! / I don't have anything against a good revenge now and then. What are you planning to do and when are we getting Triangle back? / Robert! / What do... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2231
Triangle and Robert #2232	Robert, when you awaken an imprisoned serpent god and he possesses your friend, the correct response is not to... to... / Robert, you're acting like you're a library clerk and Triangle's just being checked out! / You're right, Cube! I hate library clerks! / What? / You! Give back Triangle or I'll be... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2232
Triangle and Robert #2233	Why aren't either one of you taking this seriously? You're a reawakened serpent god who's just possessed someone as an instrument of revenge. / You're the fool who reawakened him, and he just possessed your best friend. So why is there banter? / Because I've thought this through one more step than... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2233
Triangle and Robert #2234	Do you have my cell number? I'm going for a walk. Call me when there's no serpent god possessing anyone and nothing else stupid. / I don't have your number. / Of course you don't have my number you're... I'm leaving. / So what did the ancients imprison you for? / Mostly mail fraud. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2234
Triangle and Robert #2235	Mail fraud. / Yes. / "Mostly" mail fraud. / ...yes. / What else? / Why am I not destroying you where you stand? / Probably a side effect of your binding enchantment. / _Robert! Can you hear me? \ Will it wear off? \ _Robert ... ..._ http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2235
