Tinkerskull: Where to first, sir?
Garreth: Hmm. I'm not sure yet.
Garreth: I'll see if anyone's online.

You check your pesterchum to see if any is available.

The only one's online at the moment are Lexii and Lucas.

EE: I'm back at the land of horrors and bad life choices
EE: But I should be okay
EE: Last night I visited Alice
EE: I didn't really remember much before which is why I didn't share much at lunch today
QT: It's cool
QT: Have you got yourself a conjuration?
EE: Yes I have, he's a wraith named Azriel
EE: He's quite a fighter just like his source material
QT: Nice.
EE: He's bite sized too, your fairy and him might get along
QT: Ha, I'll let her be the judge of that.

QT: Hey Lexii.
TD: Garry!
TD: How are you?
QT: I'm okay, just getting ready to head to Lomam.
QT: What are you up to?
TD: I'm gunna go exploring Faint glimmer.
QT: By yourself?
TD: Heck no! I have Hermes and Cujo with me.
TD: I'm not sure if I'll be training this time though, it's more of sight-seeing.
QT: Alright.
TD: If you're going to Lomam, swing by my place.
QT: I haven't decided which way is faster yet.
TD: How many ways are there?
QT: Well there are always natural gates to the realms in our circle of friends.
QT: I'd need help getting down there.
TD: I'll get Lucia!
QT: .....
QT: I'll let you know what I decide to do.
TD: Oh alright.

Garreth: Hmm.
Tinkerskull: What do you want to do?
Garreth: The path through Faint glimmer will definitely require Uilos' help.
Garreth: And I'm sure Lucia is with Derrick right now too, I don't want to disturb them.
Garreth: I'll try...

>Garry: Since you are considering it as an option, I assume you know where the 'natural gate' is, that it is somewhere you can access, i.e. on your island, and that you can quickly obtain any needed keys?

Edit: Uilos can probably be contacted by addressing a plant as if it were him, so finding him shouldn't be too much of a problem.

>Try to enlist Uilios' help. He seems to know the lay of the land and may prove helpful in avoiding any unnecessary battles.

>Try to enlist Uilios' help. He seems to know the lay of the land and may prove helpful in avoiding any unnecessary battles.

Seconded.

>Garry: there's something you should know, in case you haven't been informed already, Zendo is currently roaming loham, you might run into him, but do not be afraid, his disposition was neutral last time we saw him. He can be pacified. Derrick, Lucia, Emily and Lexii had an encounter with him in the past, the situation grew dire and Nightmare took control of Derrick for a moment, he thrashed Zendo so good he ended up with amnesia. He doesn't remember anything.

Some of those commas should be periods. Sorry to be 'that guy', but it bugs me. I like everything else about your post.

Garreth: I'm not sure how to find Uilos... From what I remember he just hangs around.

Garreth: Interesting.
Garreth: Derrick is also Nightmare, it could be a sign that he's starting to remember things from the outside.
Garreth: It would be in our best interest if he doesn't get into a situation where he has to resort to things like that again before he's ready.
Uilos: -ahem-

Why am I imagining the outcome to this being an awkward voldemort style hug? More importantly, why does that make me want it to happen even more?

thirding.

>Garreth: Use your big boy words. We already talked about what you should be doing in this situation.

>Come on Garreth, that was pretty cool.

Emily and Uilos are my two favorite human characters in Lucidstuck, by a large margin. Yes, I know, but he used to be human and has been returned to his human form.

Garreth: Uilos is very resourceful.
Tinkerskull: Right?
Garreth: I'm glad he's not aggressive.
Garreth: With some luck, we may catch Lexii before she left.

Lexii: After you're done your thing, do you think maybe...
Lexii: We could team up..?
Lexii: I mean I understand if you're busy and all...
Garreth: Sure.

Garreth: Emily!
Emily: Hi Garreth.
Emily: I'm guessing you need me?
Garreth: Yes, perfect timing. Follow me.
Emily: Hehe. Yeah, sure.

You both make your way to the Misty Marshes outpost where you spot the black skull lodged in its respective slot.

Garreth: That skull there is for you, please take it.
Emily: ....
Garreth: This item is very important, so take good care of it.
Emily: ... I know.
Garreth: ?

Emily: I remember everything, Garreth.
Garreth: ... How?
Emily: Bob helped me remember my past.
Garreth: Who's Bob?
Emily: Uhm...
Emily: There was this place that was completely white everywhere I looked. There is where I met Bob.
Emily: I also met Alice there, or Daydream as she calls herself.
Emily: We had a good talk about personal issues.
Garreth: ..........
Emily: Bob is this weird looking thing that looks like a golem or avatar of sorts.
Emily: And what is to the effect of angels speak through it.
Garreth: The Observers!
Garreth: So that explains it.
Emily: I made a deal with Daydream in which if I were to run into a monster that insists on giving me a hard time, Daydream would "talk them out of it".
Emily: I'm not quite sure what that means, but... I'm more confident moving around on my own now.
Garreth: That's good to know.
Emily: Alice is... Not in a good position.
Garreth: I know, things have been rough all around as far as I can see.
Garreth: I'm sorry for all the crap you've been through.
Emily: It's fine. I forgave Alice already...
Garreth: So, do you know what do to with the skull?
Emily: Yes.
Emily: I don't know how I know, but I'll take care of what comes next.
Emily: Afterwards, we need to help Lucas.
Garreth: I just spoke to him, he seems okay.
Emily: He's not.
Emily: There is a lot Lucas isn't telling us, and it's killing him slowly.
Emily: And I'm afraid something terrible might happen once Alice follows part of our agreement.
Garreth: I see. Though I said I'd spend some time with Lexii after I was finished here. I didn't think I'd run into you.
Emily: Ahh, it's fine... But...
Emily: Do you know that's not really Lexii?
Garreth: ... Yes. Better than anyone.
Garreth: I've been distant to her all this time for that reason.
Garreth: I'd like to indulge just a little bit before things get serious.
Emily: ... I understand.
Garreth: Derrick and Lucia are together right now, I thought it best to leave them be until they decide to seek us out.
Emily: I agree...
Emily: I'll try and get to Lucas then.
Garreth: Okay.
Garreth: Though... How are you holding up?
Garreth: You've suffered so much for us, but still seem more together than most of us, even me.
Emily: ... I have faith in our success.
Emily: I believe in Bob as well.
Emily: And as long as Lucia is okay, we have nothing to worry about.
Emily: At least... For right now.
Emily: I don't know if we'll be powerful enough to confront the Unknown entity once it appears.
Garreth: ... You know, I don't think we'll have to be.
Garreth: Strength in numbers.
Emily: ... Some monsters here could wipe us all out as we are now, let alone "that".
Garreth: From all the times we've been in a fight you haven't shown your potential.
Emily: ... I don't like fighting...
Garreth: Yes, I know.
Garreth: But you may have to, in this case.
Garreth: Would you, if our lives depended on it?
Emily: ... I don't know.
Garreth: Think about it.
Emily: ....

Piper: You're not wrong. Your specialty is helping others, so it wouldn't be that far off the mark if you were making some of these bubbles yourself.
Piper: What is it you want to do with your friend, Lucas?
Emily: He needs someone. Anyone.
Emily: This must be a dark time for him. He's been running the motions the longest, right?
Piper: Since the beginning.
Emily: He needs to know that he has someone who cares about him.

> 2 seems like the most important place for us to be. We've done what we needed to with Garry.

Seconding

I'm kinda torn on this one.

At first glance, i thought Emily could handle a feelings jam with Lucas on her own, and that we'd need more info from Garr about what's going on.... but then i thought about the itching monster inside Lucas's house, and how we might have to persuade Emily into using her power to purify the poor wretched thing :(

So for now, i guess any questions we might have for Garry can w8...

Alright ppl, I just came up with a plan to kiss Lucia on thursday, all we need to do is follow the instructions in this picture.

poor little sad sacks of shit.....

Goryuk: So far... So good.

>Emily: Perhaps you should introduce yourself and state your intentions and then carry on? Formality has a purpose, and that purpose is avoiding fights. If you make yourself seem aware of him but unworried it gives the impression that you aren't letting your guard down and currently don't have the intention of fighting him, but if you wanted to you could beat him. You just don't have a reason to do so now.

>Emily: Emily, do not fear. This entity is an asset to Lucas. For he has pacified him to Lucas and his friends. I am more worried for his safety than yours to be honest; no offense. Now with DayDream keeping an eye on you and what not. It will be for the best to keep him around.
