>To be honest, i think the effectiveness of a fort is down to the emotional attachment to that place and the feelings of safety it confers. We've also seen they can connect to other forts if the two places are somehow related in the builder's memory... sooo, maybe set up a small camping tent somewhere in the house or even the back yard until your parents get back?

Garreth: A talisman?
Garreth: I don't agree that's necessary, using Lexii's fort as an example.
Garreth: It wasn't her idea, and she didn't really get to use it. Her only stake in the project was the fact that it was her things and her house.
Garreth: Well, these are my things and my house.
Garreth: If Lucas has a fort by now, then you can guarantee that had no sentimentality involved at all, considering he thought forts were childish.
Garreth: Is building a fort right now important to me? Not really.
Garreth: Is a fort necessary? Not if you want to spend the long way travelling.
Garreth: Also no one will be in danger if I don't act quickly on this...
Garreth: After it's been a long day, I think I'm going to have my thoughts go elsewhere, like this show.
Garreth: Halloween is coming up soon isn't it? I'll name it the Fright fort.
Garreth: Suggest Derrick go in and see if I'm right.

You better get some rest, since you want a clear head when you get up in the morning.



How refreshing! It seems you'll be on your own for a little while.

> Derrick: Check on Skully.

>Derrick: Pester the fairy

>Say hello to Skully!

>Be skully.
Let's see what she's up to.

Tinkerskull: Oh! It's you.
Tinkerskull: You're not Garry. Is he around?
Derrick: No.
Tinkerskull: Why did you wake me up...? -yawwwn-
Derrick: Just wanted to check up on you.
Derrick: Where were you?
Tinkerskull: Hm? Right here?
Derrick: I mean you were asleep right? Were you off doing other things on other levels?
Tinkerskull: Hehe, no you dork.
Tinkerskull: I always sleep when I wait for Garry to come back. I have nothing else to do.
Tinkerskull: It's not a sleep that carries me, either. It's like...
Tinkerskull: Yes! It's like how you would do it.
Tinkerskull: Lying still, letting time pass by. And when Garry appears it's like an alarm clock going off, beep beep beep!
Tinkerskull: But sometimes I'm lazy and don't get up right away.
Derrick: I see.
Tinkerskull: Is it just you? What are you going to do in Garry's house?
Derrick: I dunno yet.
Tinkerskull: Okay well, I hope you figure it out. I'm going back to sleep... Zzzzz...
Derrick: Hmm...

1. You're on detached isle, see about exploring it a bit
2. Zendo is still in Loham, maybe you should make sure he's out of trouble
3. Being alone sucks, call Reggie and Bambino, maybe the'll find a way to the island... somehow.

>Derrick: Call your Friends

>Derrick conjure a phone and use it to contact the reapers, let them know where you are, see about having them bring you your steampunk armor set and reggie and bambino, conjuring a phone would be good for practice but if you cant pull it off you could borrow garrys laptop real quick

> 3 and then 2

Time to romance ninja boy.

>Derrick: Call your Friends

Seconding. The reapers are probably wondering wtf happened with Lucia right about now.

might as well go with my command if we are calling the others, it entails calling the reapers too, just more specific

>Derrick: Check if you still have things in your inventory.

>Derrick: summon Reggie and Bambino, then explore the island.

seconding

=>



You don't think you want to be alone so you try and picture Reggie and Bambino in your mind's eye.

You see them, and as soon as you do they leave the room.



You take a look at your inventory. Seems everything is where it should be.



It's a bit strange knowing that Lucia is no longer here, in this side of existence. There is a strong feeling of solitude you feel from this. While you did call for Reggie and Bambino, you sort of wanted to enjoy that feeling of there just being you.

Uilos comes to mind. He's been in these lands all on his own for who knows how long, and he still seems kind and sane. Though you're sure that's mostly because this realm is rather nice to be in. You now recall Bambino's words the night before where he said he'd explain what happened to you when you apparently faced off head to head with Zendo. He said you weren't ready until you saved Lucia. But... You don't think you need him to tell you if he would only know if you yourself knew the answer.

So, you already know what happened... Emily was in danger and then...
... It's no use. You can't recall on your own after all. But it feels... Red. The same red feeling when you got angry at your sister. The same red feeling when you beat those bullies within an inch of their lives all those years ago. This red feeling is... Your other self you mentioned to Garreth. This red feeling of yours, Is it you?

> Derrick: Consider that given the huge level of stress, betrayal and all sorts of negative emotions naturally tied to all you've recently learned, it's perfectly normal to feel anger. There's nothing wrong with that, but you need to control yourself so you don't act on these emotions. It's especially dangerous where you are now, in a world that can and will warp itself to reflect your hidden thoughts and feelings (hallucinations, violent thoughts) . You succeeded in saving Lucia, you confronted your sister and controlled your anger, you've made friends and allies, and you should feel proud of your accomplishments. Remember you are not alone and you are strong and brave enough to do this.

>you still got some time until reggie and bambino arrive, might as well enjoy that time for yourself, look out a window, enjoy the scenery around garrys place, do some self reflections, a lot of things have been happening in your life in quick succession and its good to take a moment for yourself

... You take a moment to reflect on everything you've been through thus far. In your opinion, you are very proud of your own accomplishments. You've shown bravery, courage, and restraint where it counted most. The incredible amount of stress that had been building up surrounding Lucia's situation has all evaporated. Leaving one focal point in your mind, that animosity towards your sister. You used to feel like you had to be together, but you were fine while you thought you were alone in your house and only communicated through the internet. You know she's the only family you have left, but you're not one to be willingly abused. It's as though this feeling of doubt that grows stems not from the realisation that your sister was not as pristine as you've thought, but a lapse in the mindset that she was innocent. You couldn't willingly be taken for a fool, so perhaps blinders were necessary to keep the status quo.

There is a silence that is quite delectable in Loham you think. Where your thoughts can roam free and you can see them for what they are. It's the kind of silence that is almost... haunting to those that lack understanding to who they are, while inviting to those that know their true selves. But how can one know their true self you wonder? When they are constantly surrounded by tasks to get done, and people around them wanting their attention, asking things of them, distracting them from the one person that matters most.
So, now you wonder...

Are you scared? or relieved?

1. I'm scared, this silence is uncomfortable (avoid him)
2. Who... are you? (meet him)

>2
its time

Derrick:...Be relieved

Derrick: Meet him; face yourself.

>Derrick: 2
