Bearclaw Valley Lack of tipping is the leading cause of sinkholes in the US

The storyteller might've seen the unceremonious snapping-in-two of his protagonist as a sign of things to come, but for all Ico's musings he could be perfectly earthbound; he accepted that the pup was just being a pup. And he also appreciated that the little fellow was getting bored of listening.

Ico had in his mind a conflict between Stickums and the newly-introduced stick insect character, but he quickly changed the story. That's right, the wandering stick was me all along! And when me and Stickums teamed up to bring down Ursus, a brave young Bearberry took us both on, ahhh! he gave a cry of defeat and fell dramatically to his side as the pup came at him. And he was triumphant!

Sometimes the best kind of story was one that devolved into good old-fashioned playtime.

Yuss, happy to end here if you are~ ^___^
