Okay, okay. [ he takes a breath and he sighs out a little. ] We went over the plan with Shu, so our cameras should be set. And Lucien and I finished the smoke bomb yesterday before I left so that's ready. We just have to make sure the ballroom itself has enough to keep people occupied until 11:59pm.
[ why are multiple people doing this to him today. also i keep forgetting she's taller than he is because of his stupid 12 year old body. but regardless of that he's looking at her with his good eye and yeah, maybe he's still a little jittery under her hand because everything is bad and healed to its minimum, but it's fine?
it's...maybe fine. ]
...we had to clear a CEM storm so the Eudora could keep going. Io told us about it a few days ago, we left last night. And...we had to find the source and get rid of it to stop the storm. It's just that the source was probably the worst thing I've ever seen in my life.
Um...do you want me to start with the slaughterhouse, jump to the digestion, or skip right to the giant monster with multiple arms, tentacles, flat teeth, hundreds of faces, and thousands of voices that wanted us to assimilate and rejoin it?
Yeah. Not exactly the most fun I've ever had. But we took care of it, source is cleared. Without Io and Kosmo we might not've actually made it out of the pit.
Absolutely. [ zero irony. ] ...powers worked out there. So he was able to change size and teleport, and Temenos had his magic, too. The light helped a lot more than you'd expect.
Yeah. Burned the hell out of that thing, and Charles threw some torches at it, too. [ ... ] It was pretty unnerving from the minute we landed and it kind of went all downhill from there. I'm just glad everyone's back and that it sounds like nobody else was out today.
[ he's not sure, given the way he doesn't answer immediately. ]
...probably, but I don't know what right now. [ it's. very much a ball of conflicting feelings. ] So all we can do is focus on trying to save everyone else tonight.
Yeah. Or one of the others, so Totty won't wonder why I'm out of jellies.
[ She pulls Tokunaga off her back and rummages in the little sack on its back. From there, she pulls out what looks like an N64 cartridge and holds it out, like, you want it? ]

If you start feeling like you're going crazy... you know I can help with that, right? At least, I think it should help...

You mean that jelly from Scrap? Or something else?

Yeah I did get that impression. It's smart not to play all your cards right away.
