II: Yeah. Well. She needed my help, I needed to get away from the boys for a bit. She's pretty reasonable, when she isn't upset. So all I gotta do is not bring up any bad memories to her.
RR: Yes, thank you. You've done them, and us, a great favor.
RR: Yes, thank you. You've done them, and us, a great favor.

RR: *follows into the den, thinking that the look will take some getting used to, but everyone back home should accept it. It will be very strange for the children*
II: *also follows into the den, thinking about how she won't have this excuse to keep away from her universe for much longer...*

|/=@] ... |/=U] "so... some history on this place..." |/=@] "it was actually one of the first places we had come across. the entire collective had recently took to the stars, but there were a number who quickly started 'tainting' the collective with homesickness... once we had touched down in this place, an action that tainted the forest near here, resulting in its quiet, pale, beauty, those that became to attached to the idea of ruling a single land through its own people were banished, the rest of the collective leaving them behind with nothing other than 7 crystalline stars all charged up with emotional energies."
V: "woh, you mean..."
M: "GUH"

"the Shadow Queen was a much larger collection of darkmatter. they, had ill intent for this world. they had split up, into groups of 14, 10, 9, and 66. the 14, now 13, and the 10 sit before us now. the 66 that were the Shadow Queen are now dead. they were destroyed by the power of the crystal stars, acting as beacons to collect the raw charge of the people in this land to bolster the hearts of the heros who went to fight her."

V: "tee-hee, I guess so. but it doesn't really matter."

II: ... *she almost said, that sounds like something out of a video game, but then what doesn't sound like something out of a video game these days? Half the people here are quite literally out of a video game*
RR: Wow.
RR: Wow.

V: "yea, and we know how the boggly woods came to be as well."
M: "that was interesting"
V: "yea, and we know how the boggly woods came to be as well."
RR: *referring to it as a "story" makes her wonder what Av thinks of all this, if this is what he'd call the best outcome, but she puts that thought aside*
II: That's good.
II: That's good.
