So here's the thing…

We have a lot of work left to do. Those of you who ventured down below got a taste of what we're looking at and hopefully that means we can make better preparations. I'm working on opening a new portal based on your energy readings and getting it to stabilize itself so you aren't stuck down there longer than you have to be. May take a few days, but I'm hoping to get a map drawn up, too.

How many of you have been out to Magatus? You might wanna compare notes…the influence started spreading even further. It's better to bring everything and everyone out there back to the city where we can put up forcefields and I can monitor from here.

So what am I saying? I need two teams, a rescue team and an exploration team. Take some time to decide, figure out your skills, organize and arm yourselves. Assignments will go out when you're ready, and when I'm ready.

Oh yeah…and if you're interested in working for me directly? Send me your résumé.

She also says the same thing, I guess she might be telling me the truth instead of just trying to make me feel better.

Oh, that kinda sounds similar to my brother's world that I visited once! For creatures, they actually had pixies in a cage!

I don't know about anticlimactic, but I can say it sucks, cause imagine going to an island, and the first thing you see...

is a giant freaking sea monster attacking the island and everyone is happy and cheerful about it!

Which I hope to G-d doesn't mean I had to fight the damn thing, cause it was HHHUUUUGGGGGEE

[He DID fight a sea monster...just not THAT one.

He isn't going to get sleep is he?]

Yeah, she is. You should really trust your friend more! You're your own worst critic, after all.

Oh wow, I've never seen a pixie before. Sad about it being in a cage.

Everyone is happy about a sea monster attacking?

True True! Just had to be sure you know?

Pixies are annoying, they got out of their cage and buzzed around and threw school supplies at me...plus it was in the same classroom as a creature that mimics your worst fear, I was tense as hell the moment I walked in and I had no idea why so...imagine my reaction when these little flying things pop out of nowhere laughing and throwing things at me and there were A LOT OF THEM.

Yeah! Crazy right? Everyone was clapping and cheering when that sea monster showed up, like...it was showing up to a stage or something...it was massive, blue, serpent-like, pink coral was all over its body, red eyes, and I had a VERY good look at it at the top of a cliff.

Pretty much every creature in my memories have creeped me out or kept me up at some point or another.

Even bunnies...cute little bunnies have been ruined for me.

Aha, guess so. Still, I think you should keep at it!

Wow, that DOES sound annoying. And why would you have something a classroom that mimics people's worst fears? That just sounds like it's asking for trouble.

Ermm...are you sure it WASN'T a stage of some kind? It sounds like everyone had been expecting it like a show at Sea World.

Should I ask about the bunnies?

I know! I didn't SEE it, it was inside a giant cupboard and it was shaking.

I can't emphasize the bad vibes I got the second I walked in that room and it's A SCHOOL too.

I don't know...if it was their version of Sea World, that would explain a lot.

That depends, how much nightmare fuel can you process?
