#'''[[InfallibleBabble Law of Productive Gullibility]] ([[VideoGame/LunarEternalBlue Ruby]] Rule):''' ''Whenever anybody comes up to you with a patently ludicrous claim (such as, "I'm not a cat, I'm really an ancient Red Dragon") there's an at least two-thirds chance they're telling the truth. Therefore, it pays to humor everyone you meet; odds are you'll be glad you did later on.''

#'''[[ThrivingGhostTown Make Room! Make Room!]]''' ''There are always more people in a town or village than there are houses for them to live in. Most of the village is made up of shops, temples, bars, secret passages, inns, and the mansion that belongs to the richest man in town.''

#'''[[DisguisedInDrag Place Transvestite Joke Here]] ([[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Miss Cloud]] Rule):''' ''If the male lead is required to dress up like a girl for any reason, he will be regarded by everyone as [[AttractiveBentGender much more attractive than any "real" girl]]. If the female lead [[SweetPollyOliver cross-dresses as a man]], she will be immediately recognized as who she is by everyone except the male lead and the main villain.''
