Chapter 4

chapter four the brain poker call me Kimmy. Radical eyes that hold many secrets. Proof that secret secrets can be fun. Camera for capturing those special moments. Carol, the cutest carapace you ever did see attributes? Telepathic abilities more than most, But pretend you don't know that yet. Spunkiness maximum spunky strength fourteen on a scale of thirteen to fifteen, A big, bright smile shines on Kimmy's face as she vaults over the Wrangler's door and to the ground. "I mean, sure, I could tell you—but showing is more fun, right?" With that, Kimmy's ears bend forward. Her eyes go cloudy, turning a creamy pink color, like Froot

第四章大脑扑克叫我吉米。 激进的眼睛里藏着许多秘密。 证明了秘密也可以很有趣。 相机捕捉那些特别的时刻。 卡萝尔，你见过的最可爱的甲壳是什么？ 心灵感应能力比大多数人都强，但假装你还不知道。 在13到15的范围内，勇气的最大强度是14。当Kimmy跳过牧马人的门，跳到地上时，她的脸上闪耀着灿烂的笑容。 “我的意思是，当然，我可以告诉你——但表演更有趣，对吧？”说着，吉米的耳朵向前倾了倾。 她的眼睛变得浑浊，变成奶油色的粉红色，就像弗罗特一样

Loop cereal milk. And then— "WHOA!" Quint cries out. A horrifyingly ferocious beast rises behind Kimmy! Its shadowy body, hovering in the air, seems to have appeared outta nowhere—plucked from the ether. The monster is big and growing bigger—first the size of a VW Bug, then a school bus, then a jumbo jet. who the sort of see through dragon thing. Quint braces himself as the monster crashes into him—but, oddly, he doesn't feel anything. He whirls around, confused, as— POOF! The monster disappears in a puff. A few monsters chuckle.

循环谷物牛奶。然后——“哇！”昆特喊道。 一只可怕凶猛的野兽从Kimmy身后崛起！它那朦胧的躯体，在空中盘旋，仿佛是从天上突然冒出来的。 这个怪物很大，而且越来越大——先是有一辆大众汽车那么大，然后是一辆校车，然后是一架大型喷气式飞机。 是那种能看穿龙的人。 昆特在怪物撞向他时支撑着自己，但奇怪的是，他没有任何感觉。 他困惑地旋转着，就像——噗！怪物一下子消失了。 几个怪物在窃笑。

"Quint?" Dirk asks, cracking open one eye and peering up. "Did we just die?" "No. It wasn't real," Quint answers, reaching down to help Dirk to his feet. Dirk dusts himself off while scowling at the giggling monsters. But then he sees that Drooler is also giggling and he can't help but grin. "How did that—" Quint starts, before Kimmy cuts him off. "Brain poker," she says, tapping the side of her head. "Projections instead of yakity-yak-yak. Like I said: show, don't tell. It's always, like, whoa, more effective." "Brain poker..." Quint repeats. Then suddenly, "You're a telepath!" Dirk slowly massages the bridge of his nose. "So. Much. Magic," he grumbles. Kimmy boosts herself up onto the Jeep's hubcap. "The monster I just showed you is..." Kimmy pauses and clicks her tongue. "Y'know what, you probably just ought to hear the whole story from the start. The story of Fleeghaven and the Drakkor..."

“五胞胎?”德克问道，睁开一只眼睛向上凝视。 “我们刚刚死了吗？”“没有。那不是真的。”昆特回答，伸手扶德克站起来。 德克一边掸掸身上的灰尘，一边怒视着咯咯笑的怪物。 但后来他看到Drooler也在咯咯笑，他忍不住笑了。 “那是怎么——”昆特在金米打断他之前说。 “大脑扑克，”她边说边拍着自己的头。 “预测而不是牦牛牦牛。 就像我说的：展示，不要说。 它总是像，哇，更有效。” “大脑扑克……”五胞胎重复。 突然，“你是心灵感应者！”德克慢慢地按摩鼻梁。 “所以。多。魔法，”他抱怨道。 吉米把自己抬到吉普车的轮毂盖上。 “我刚才给你看的那个怪物是……” 吉米停顿了一下，咂了咂舌头。 “你知道吗，也许你应该从头开始听整个故事。 弗利格海文和德拉克尔的故事……”

our dimension. We were pharmacists. The Razo happened. The portals opened and we were dumped in this town like yesterday's recyclables

我们的尺寸。我们是药剂师。 拉佐出现了。门户打开了，我们像昨天的可回收物一样被扔进了这个小镇

We survived. The only way we knew how we farmed for doughballs. Fluffy, chewy, extra spicy doughballs. It's a good home. Despite the strangely thin walls and hollow, inedible food, the farming was not easy. There was no water, but then at last rain it fell from the sky in bucketfuls, and we were like celebration time. P-A-R-T-Y

我们幸存了下来。这是我们唯一知道的种田是为了吃甜甜圈的方法。 松软、有嚼劲、特别辣的面团。 这是一个很好的家。尽管墙壁薄得出奇，食物又空又不能吃，但耕种并不容易。 没有水，但最后，雨从天上一桶一桶地落下来，我们就像庆祝的时间。 P-A-R-T-Y

but farm first. After we finished farming, we turned up with a blowout bash, Super lit, lots of splashing in the fountain and needle buzz, energy juice flowing. Y'all should've been there, but I didn't know you then. So sorry. Not sorry, but our shindig caught the attention of a guest, a guest who did not R.s.v.p. a guest who could not have R.s.v.p. because that guest was a notinvited guest. That guest was

但首先是农场。做完农活后，我们参加了一场狂欢，超级亮，喷泉里有很多水花和针的嗡嗡声，能量源源不断。 你们都该去的，但那时我不认识你。 抱歉。不好意思，但我们的宴会引起了一位客人的注意，这位客人没有回复。 一个不能收到回复的客人 因为那个客人是没被邀请的客人。 那位客人是
