There are no capabilities–tonnes of dwellers are talentless.
You might be outstripped, but I could never beat you.
Arrgh! The critters running in the little wheels nibbled my message!
Meros–I’m impressed. You seem witty and intelligent. You might be outstripped, but I could never beat you.
There. That’s better.
<----- There’s grinning in the valley, but there are no smiles.
There is concession as well. It is I who am impressed with your intelligence and repartée. This battle has been well met.
I am, however, befuddled as to where our fellow addicts have disappeared.
I confess that I don’t have a clue (since I can’t have a clue) where they are. They’ve scrammed.
And I am flattered by your comments.
Nonsense. All are welcome! The Teeming Millions doubly so!
Flattered you need not be as I only supply accolades I see as accurate.
(We thought you two wanted to be alone here for a little, uh, canoodling.)
Well, Meros, It’s been good chatting, messing with letters.
But I have to flutter off–my lab, outside the Valley (which, of course, it has to be), has lots of work to be done.
In the Valley, I’ve amassed excellent accomplishments to extoll, but in my usual orthographic region, I’m stuck with unfinished research.
So farewell, goodbye, 'till we meet in a different discussion.
Now that the battle has been called to a cessation there is something that I have been wondering about Scribble.
I hope none of the kitty-lovers out there are savvy to the fact that we were using their favorite critter as ammunition. 
Twickster–Are you alleging that we’re petting?
I had to commute to my dwelling, but have recommenced messaging.
Nope – just wanted to say, uh, utter, “canoodling.”

Really? I’ve only been a Valleyman for three weeks, but I know that that’s incorrect.
I really am sorry for that error. I know it cannot be edited, but since quotes are unheard of in the valley, it’s appropriate.
Attributions are okay, though.
I’ll have to second this question Twickster. What exactly are you suggesting?
So Watcher. Have you figured it out yet or would you like another clue? When you find the solution you’ll be kicking yourself for not getting it sooner. (and don’t worry…the first time I did this I thought it was the contradicting terms thing too)
Has it been mentioned that you can drive your Passat or your Corvette in the Valley, but not your Volkswagen or your Chevrolet?
Yeah, but not to worry. It’ll be back the following year… Though I shudder to think what will happen the year after that…
Then again time really isn’t a factor there…
