You are now the cooler guy, currently eating some REALLY AWESOME CAKE! Then, as you start the next to last slice, you get trolled.

You take the cake into your PIP-Ventory and head to the roof.

EC: \/ so now go through the entire ballet of creating the thing

>Connor: Craft stuff.

You first do all the shit needed to see if you have enough grist, then you check if you, well, have enough grist.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

>Connor: Wow. WOW. That is going to cost A LOT of Grist. Way more than you've got right now. Maybe there'd be some way you could shrink it down, and it might not cost as much... nah, that's just silly.

>Greg:ponder

You sit there and ponder what to do after your last chat with Chas.Not on what to do next of course,you know that.More like what to do with the whole White Queen situation.Your still unsure what to do on that.Every fiber of your moral being is telling you to tell the Queen to ally with this Jack Noir for the lives it could save.And if you could kill the Black Queen and King without innocents getting hurt Chas and Dirk would have the revenge that they wanted.

But the rational part of your mind isn't so sure.You have no idea if any of you can even trust this Derse Agent.Heck,for all you know this could be a trap planned by the Black Queen.You frizzle you hair trying to think.Why does this all have to be so hard?Can't it just be simple?

You sigh and stand up.You need more information on Derse.And you know just who might have the answers you seek.

>Dirk: Continue embarrassing self


This is getting unbearable, and fast. You have spent so much time WAVING LIKE AN IDIOT, and there are better things you could be doing with your time. Wait. I-is your HAIR turning BLUE? Why is it doing that? Is it STRESS? You guess that's probably it.

Luckily, before any more BLUEIFICATION can occur you receive a pestering.

[03:33] -- equilibricConcilate [EC] began pestering stabsSalesman [SS] at 15:33 --
[03:33] EC: \/ hi
[03:33] SS: =]=> Hi Letage.
[03:33] EC: \/ you wanted to talk
[03:34] SS: =]=> Yeah, I did. And I know you're probably going to flip the fuck out but I need you to bear with me here.
[03:34] EC: \/ ok
[03:34] SS: =]=> It's about Chas.
[03:34] SS: =]=> And what he said earlier.
[03:34] EC: \/ i figured
[03:34] SS: =]=> Listen, I was told you're over there bawling your eyes out about it all and I figured I needed to
[03:34] SS: =]=> well
[03:34] SS: =]=> apologize.
[03:35] EC: \/ well ok
[03:35] SS: =]=> This is pretty much all my fault for not trusting you, and I don't think Chas meant what he said.
[03:35] SS: =]=> He's not that kind of person.
[03:36] SS: =]=> I backed him into a corner and he was just trying to get out, so once again I fucked up royal.
[03:36] EC: \/ well regardless
[03:36] EC: \/ he said it
[03:36] SS: =]=> But, that's not his fault. He obviously wasn't ready to talk about what we talked about.
[03:37] SS: =]=> When you get caught flat-footed with that shit you'll make up whatever you can to just end the conversation.
[03:38] EC: \/ i understand that
[03:38] EC: \/ this situation was mainly me overreacting
[03:39] EC: \/ i got it sorted out now though
[03:39] EC: \/ so thank you for apologising and i in turn apologise as well
[03:39] EC: \/ for causing a scene
[03:39] SS: =]=> OK, well, that's good I suppose. But really you don't need to apologize to me.
[03:40] EC: \/ did you mean what you said about not trusting me
[03:40] EC: \/ it okay if you dont
[03:40] SS: =]=> I don't.
[03:40] SS: =]=> Or
[03:40] SS: =]=> Rather
[03:40] SS: =]=> I didn't.
[03:41] EC: \/ it changed?
[03:41] SS: =]=> Even if you're planning to screw us all over I'd feel like a complete dick feeling anything negative toward you right now.
[03:41] SS: =]=> So I guess we'll call it a blank slate.
[03:42] EC: \/ so if i hadnt thrown a fit youd still feel distrustful?
[03:42] EC: \/ tell me what you felt about your hour ago
[03:42] SS: =]=> I don't mean to say the fit itself changed my mind.
[03:42] SS: =]=> But it's just not the reaction I would have expected from a villanous mastermind.
[03:43] SS: =]=> More like a teenage girl who just got dumped.
[03:43] EC: \/ ah i didnt live up to your image of omnipotent overseeing alien lord
[03:43] EC: \/ i must admit i feel a bit ashamed for not living up to it
[03:44] SS: =]=> Well, don't be. I'm not big on authority figures.
[03:45] EC: \/ fair enough
[03:46] EC: \/ so now that we dealt with the seinufelt drama with aliens
[03:46] EC: \/ how is the dungeon coming
[03:46] SS: =]=> Poorly, Snake Eyes can't find the keyhole and I don't know where Chas went.
[03:47] SS: =]=> And I've already lost interest because I think I know how to find my next artifact.
[03:47] EC: \/ oh you do?
[03:48] SS: =]=> Yeah, Illire and my future self gave me the idea. I was going to alchemize my first artifact with a compass.
[03:48] SS: =]=> It might be able to point me to the second artifact.
[03:49] EC: \/ oh thats clever
[03:50] SS: =]=> I thought so. I was going to go do it immediately, but I figure I should probably go find Chas first.
[03:50] EC: \/ thats probably for the best
[03:51] EC: \/ good luck
[03:51] SS: =]=> Thanks. Good luck with not dying in space, or wherever the hell you two are.
[03:51] EC: \/ thank you
[03:52] SS: =]=> Talk to you later, then.
[03:52] EC: \/ good bye
[03:52] -- equilibricConcilate [EC] ceased pestering stabsSalesman [SS] at 15:52 --


Well, with that done you suppose the next thing to do is find CHAS. You call for SNAKE EYES to follow and go in search of him, and maybe a KEYHOLE too.

These Honor bound trolls, they are crazy. Well at least they don't want to ruin your game. You still wonder what that item is, hope it's something super cool, like a robo brain! Or something...

>Connor: Go back though the gate.

Wait, one last thing.

Picked up: Cosmetic Knife from Kitchen

>===>

You go back though the first gate and restart your quest-wait! The return node is still there, you bet if you go though it, it will send you back where you once were. You do so.

Well, that's odd. The locals are all black-faced...Odd...

>Xavier: Pondering time?
Yes. You haven't done that in some time.
Perhaps this spiritual world has the same effect as the nightmare world in Catherine, where as you view yourself as normal and everyone else is the weirdos, but they view themselves normal and you as the weirdo.
Wait, how do you even know about that?
Ah, who cares?
Perhaps the old man knew of your low health and knew of your incoming with the death of Beth, it was all a bit too perfect...

Besides Perrwinkle, you fail to see any critters.

There's a strange, WATCH-SHAPED indent in the middle of the floor.

God you feel tired. You aren't even close to the entrance to the center of this god forsaken island, let alone your boat. You sit down for a second.

The beach looks nice, relaxing. You lie down and look up at the sky, you see nothing but nice blue skies. You close your eyes.

>Connor: Wake up

You quickly rise up to find your in a purple alleyway, with a Mega Auto Sax in normal mode and some boondollars next to you. You get up and take the sax and the few boondollars.

God, you payed for not waking up before. Well, it's a dream, so you may as well get to flying back to your place.

GK: Hey Lily :)
LS: Oh, hello Greg.
LS: How have you been?
GK: Can't complain...busy busy busy it seems
LS: I'm sure you are. Sburb will keep you quite busy.
GK: How have you been Lily?
LS: Alright, I suppose. It appears that most of the servents of the Dark Kingdom have dispersed for now.
GK: That reminds me what i was going to ask you Lily...what do you know about Derse?
LS: Oh, you already know its name! My, you have been busy.
LS: Well, like I've told you, it's the Dark Kingdom, the eternal enemy of Prospit.
LS: They seek to destroy both Prospit, and Sakaia, the planet Prospit defends.
LS: One of your duties is to defeat the leaders of Derse, its King and Queen.
LS: That's about all I can tell you for now.
GK: I see...I'm guessing they are what we consider evil then?
LS: Yes.
GK: I met the White Queen..she told me alot..and added alot more problems
LS: Oh dear, what kind of problems?
GK: The war between Prospit and Derse...the war Prospit is suppossed to lose.....
GK: Prospit is winning
LS: What? That shouldn't be possible!
GK: Thats what the White Queen said
LS: It must be a trick...
GK: But apparently its happening
LS: Greg, you should be very careful.
GK: The fear in her eyes told me it was no trick Lily
LS: I have no idea what Derse might be planning, but it can't be good for you or your friends.
LS: No, I mean that Derse is tricking Prospit.
LS: I have no doubt that the White Queen is telling you the absolute truth.
GK: Apparently an Agent of Derse wants to ally with the Queen to bring the Black Queen and King down...one Jack Noir
LS: Jack? I do not know anything about him.
LS: This is very strange...
GK: Yes very...and the Queen is seeking the Princes of Prospit's advice
LS: Well then, it seems that an additional duty has fallen upon your shoulders, Greg.
GK: I don't know what to tell her...on one hand my moral compass is telling her to take the deal...so many lives could be saved...and yet...
GK: The fear in her eyes when she told me that Prospit shouldn't be winning...it made me take pause
GK: I don't know what to do...
LS: Greg, it is not my place to tell you what to think, only to advise you.
LS: But, I would give a word of caution:
LS: Agents of Derse are known for their deception.
LS: Make of that what you will.
GK: Hmm I see..well I will be very careful..but I still don't think I have enough information to make a choice...nothing against you Lily
LS: Of course.
GK: I need to think hard on this...lives are at stake after all :/
LS: Yes, it is a good idea to think long and hard about this.
LS: But, I know you will make the best choice you can Greg.
GK: And I need to convince the other Princes to talk to the Queen...though now that i think about it...
GK: Lily...do the Princes of Derse...do you think they may be able to influence the Black Queen?
LS: Simply put, no.
LS: She is steadfast in her hatred of Prospit, and its defenders.
LS: Anything said by your friends will likely fall on deaf ears.
GK: Hmm...I see...well they may still be able to help...
LS: Of course. They are on Derse for a reason after all.
LS: The Queen is not the only source of authority on the Outer Rim.
GK: Then that maybe something...I will have to talk to the Derse dreamers then...not that I wasn't planning on it of course....I just need to convince my fellow Prospit Dreamers to talk with the Queen..though I fear one of them thinks I'm making this up..or that it isn't important enough
LS: Chas?
GK: Yep...I fear he may be getting worse in fact...I fear that you may start thinking that I'm trying to usurp him or something as leader...which is not what i want
LS: Oh dear... He has his heart in the right place, but Greg, make sure to keep an eye on your friend.
LS: Heroes of Light are not so different from Heroes of Dark.
GK: I will Lily...I will..I just wish he would think...before he acts....
GK: "Power Corrupts...Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely"
GK: I'd rather not lose another friend today
LS: Greg, I know that you and your friends can make it through this. You just have to work together.
GK: I know Lily...its just...hard sometimes...and the problem with the trolls...not that they are a problem or anything...its just...its hard
LS: Greg, growing up is hard. But, that's why Sburb chose you and your friends.
LS: Because you have the strength to overcome hardship.
GK: I...I...thank you Lily :)..for everything :)..I guess its nice to have someone to talk to...
LS: Of course Greg. That's why I'm here.
LS: Hmmm, I see that your other friend still hasn't finished building your house, has he?
LS: Let me see what I can do about that...
GK: Any help you can give would be nice Lily :)

LILYSPRITE seems to be concentrating... suddenly, massive orange CRUXTRITE BLOCKS begin to appear out of thin air. After a few minutes, LILYSPRITE has managed to stack them together on top of Rich's addition to your house, allowing you to finally reach the First Gate.

Alright, now we're talking!

>Greg:Fondly regard Lily's creation

You close your eyes and think on what you and Lily.Its all a lot to take in.Oh well you'll figure it out.

You open your eyes and look over at Lily and see her concentrating...when suddenly massive orange CRUXTRITE BLOCKS begin to appear out of thin air.After a few minutes Lily manages to stack them onto the stuff Rich has already added and together they make a path leading to the First Gate.

Well...um...that works.You walk up to Lily and thank her.This will make things so much easier.Looks like its finally time to climb to the Gate.

As you get to the start of the stairway you look back and give Lily a bow of thanks.

You begin the long ascend toward the First Gate.While before your mind was alight with questions and thoughts and worries but now there seems to be none.For the moment everything seems clear.

When you reach the top you you give a moment of pause.This is it.Your next step on your great adventure.A very important step.You have alot to do and you need to be as strong as possible so that you can give all your help in the coming days.And yet you won't betray your moral code.It is what has led you down this path.It will no doubt do so again.

You do hope that Lily and the bloody CA....Perrywinkle will be ok while you are gone.

With a final sigh and a look of determination,you step though the Gate.

You play "3 IN THE MORNING (Saxkind)," which is like "THREE IN THE MORNING (A local favorite of DESIRE)" but just with a few instrumentals played on your KEYBOARDS and the main melody played on your SAX with one PIANO COUNTER MELODY.
