DESCEND: Skeleton Driver
DESCEND might have a chill skeleton driver around for the Girl to meet on her journey. The Girl says "You look kinda funny like a carcass". This is an attempt to translate some funny ambiguity of Finnish dialect. "Funny" is "hauska" in Finnish. However in Eastern Finland it could be spelled as "haaska", which literally means "a carcass".
Standard Finnish: "sinä olet hauskan näköinen" = "you are funny looking" In our dialect: "ootpas sie haaskan näköne" = "you look like a carcass" Which is funny because the driver is a skeleton and carcass is, like, referring to his look, but it's actually funny... right... yeah...
