This is all going to go horribly wrong, isn't it.
Like this?
((Seems legit.))
Let's see, I don't seem to have any cash. See if the flight attendant can help a brother out with some Skittles anyway.

"Yo peasant! The Most Noble Order of Arthurian Monks demands an offering of food, yo! Gimme some Skittles nao!" while giving her dirty look over your sunglasses.
Suprisingly this doesn't get you what you wanted. The wench playing flight attentand completely ignores you and goes on to serve people behind you. You rise up and start making demands when...
"Yeah, thanks but no thanks."
Decline buying anything, and start reading my novel.
The novel seems to set on prehistoric times. Main characters are a girl raised by neanderthals who dreams of strange place and a young wandering shaman whose home is the place the girl dreams of. That's about how far you get when...
"Hey, love, got anything for the best price of 'free'?"

Good choice. The muscle monk next to you says things that makes you rather worried about your safety. Kids these days, they are dangerous it seems, even religious ones. But then again religious people have always been dangerous. In various ways.
You are wondering about future of this nation when...
You know that moment when you drop something fragile and time seems to slow down? And you watch helplessly in slowmo how the object falls and shatters? This moment is just like that, but taken to the ultimate extreme; time does not just slow down, it freezes altogether.
What causes this sensation is someone, or some
thing, asking a question. There is a sense of urgency, a demand for instantaneous answer. It isn't urgent in sense that something is in danger, nor is it threatening question either, just demanding. It simply wants an answer
now, on this very nanosecond.
The problem is that you don't really understand the question. It is wordless, soundless question, lacking any emotional hints, without any indications of whether it is about who, what, when, where, why, how or something else. It simply is. A question.
How do you answer?
