| Koohii Story 1 | I´ve finally met my arch-rival, the evilest of all villains. Finally, I´m about to fight him. But what´s this? He´s suspiciously quiet. I move to attack him, and his right arm falls off at the elbow. Strange. I walk up to him and detach his left arm. Very strange. I undo his belt, and take off his top hat... BLAST! It was just a decoy turkey! |
| Koohii Story 2 | The left side isn't too hard---a top-hatted villain whose villainy involves belts around elbows? Clearly he's a drug dealer. And the best way to detach yourself from the drug dealer's influence is to go cold turkey. |
