Seems Tasli is engaging in small talk at the bus stop, with a disposable side character I'll likely never use again. Let's pry...

EDDIE (picking): "Ha-ha! Your ears look funny!"

TASLI (cooly): "That's because they're fake, and their fur isn't on"

EDDIE (curious): "Yeah? Well, how'd they get fake?"

TASLI (in story mode): "A long time ago, a magician put on a show at my school. I volunteered to be pulled from his hat...
but the magician was really bad at magic, so all he got were my ears---the rest of me was still in my seat!"

EDDIE (incredulous): "Nuh-uh!"

TASLI (matter-of-fact): "It's true! My ears wouldn't go back on, so my dad sold them to a restaurant: rabbit ears are a delicacy---they can be fried like chips!"

EDDIE (incredulous): "And you used the money to buy pretend ears?"

TASLI (sighful): "No, the magician's insurance paid for them. My dad spent the restaurant money on booze"

EDDIE (accusing): "Fake ears indeed! I don't believe your story---you're lying!"

TASLI [removing his ears]: "Am I?"

EDDIE (shocked): "Eep!"

And so all doubt has been removed: Tasli's ears are fake ...but is the story true?

Pencil...

The featured pencil is the 'КоНстРУкТоР' or 'Constructor' from Krasin Pencil Co (Russia).
These pencils were painted in a variety of colors, though the lead inside is just graphite.
This pencil is marked 'M', which translates to 'B', indicating this is a soft pencil. Hard pencils would be marked with a 'T', which translates to 'H'.
So a Russian pencil marked (say) '4M' would be a '4B'; a '3T' would be a '3H'. The Russian equivalent of an American/German 'HB' would be marked 'TM'. :3
