Emily: Three things: you should scout out the situation/area EXTENSIVELY first and try to learn more about what Lethos does before trying to interact with her. Intelligence is your friend, no matter what you decide to do. Secondly, your size difference from Lethos is going to be a problem for getting her attention. Derrick and Lucia can help you with that though. If you take a projector and a hard light item like a light saber you should be able to make an item that projects a tangible image of you large enough to get her attention. Lastly, and possibly most important, get Lexii's help. Lexii has an item called Nevil's Facade that makes people one step friendlier on your first meeting with them. Lethos can literally squash you like a bug SO STACK THE ODDS IN YOUR FAVOUR AS MUCH AS YOU CAN.



Lucia allows Ira to form into velvet love seat for you both to relax on.

Ghen: Well it's about time.
Emily: Cool couch, Lucia!
Lucia: Thanks, but Ira is the one who came up with it. Heh...
Emily: How about we brainstorm a little bit. What do we know about Lethos?
Lucia: I learned that Lethos is the biggest and strongest monster in Lomam.
Lucia: Also those bird things that hang out with it may be hostile. Like some kind protection against little guys like us.
Emily: Right.
Emily: My question is how does a monster come to get so big like that?
Emily: Reggie?
Reggie: Size in monsters has a lot to do with pain and suffering, hatred, and time in the dream world.
Reggie: Although time is abstract, it still exists on some level. As you can manipulate it still with items and taking advantage of dream levels. it's just hard to measure using clocks, or things like hourglasses and sundials.
Reggie: Lethos, like many, may have drifted deeper into the levels, in which time is perceived slower to things on the lower levels.
Reggie: Spending a lot of time on higher levels could speed up the monster transformation.
Emily: I see...
Reggie: Judging from Lethos' size, they were either one of the first monsters to ever spawn in Lomam, or spent most of its time in deeper levels.
Reggie: I can't make a better judgement than that, as I don't actually know about the monsters' coming and goings in Lomam. I just have insight on their power level and things on that front.
Emily: Do you have any suggestions?
Reggie: For what? Fighting?
Emily: No, to befriend it.
Reggie: Oh man... >v>
Reggie: A creature like this may not even have the same mind as it once had.
Reggie: Talking to it might be very difficult.
Reggie: Also at the size that it is, you'll probably need a tool or something to get its attention.
Reggie: Seeing as we're like ants to it.
Reggie: Though there are risks to consider.
Lucia: Risks like what??
Reggie: Well, Lethos could try to kill us the moment it notices us.
Reggie: Those flying shits could attack us, and they'd outnumber us for sure.
Reggie: We could run into a monster along the way... But I'm sure that's the least of our worries.
Reggie: Also befriending monsters isn't as easy as asking to be friends.
Reggie: It'll want you to earn its trust, if it has any. eve
Reggie: That means recurring visits.
Reggie: Just don't get your hopes up.
Emily: My hopes are up, This is what we came for.
Emily: I will see this through, no matter how many visits it needs.
Reggie: .....
Lucia: .....
Lucia: Emily, why are you so determined for this one?
Lucia: We have Zendo, Uilos, the triple threat in Death valley, Locad bosses to worry about too.
Lucia: Why this thing?
Emily: Because... I'm not entirely certain why... But.
Emily: I just know I have to get this one.
Emily: I felt it... A little while ago, when I first had the idea.
Emily: If I could simply establish a line of communication... I think everything will become clear.
Lucia: ... You think?
Emily: Yes... These feelings aren't based on anything certain.
Emily: So I'm not completely sure.
Emily: Creating some kind of item to project us as to appear bigger towards it may work as well, it could keep us safe and have a chance to remind it what people looked like... It has been a while.
Reggie: That sounds good, actually. ovo
Emily: I was also thinking we get Lexii in on this. Is it true she has an item that may prove helpful? A mask perhaps?
Lucia: ... Yes, but how do you know about that?
Emily: Huh? Uhh...
Emily: I think I saw her with it.. last time I checked....
Emily: Just recalled it actually, haha...
Lucia: You don't say...
Ghen: .....
Ghen: Uhh, I'm gunna take a quick look around.

Ghen: Looks like the outpost for this region.
Kira: Sweet.
Kira: It's a good thing Reggie was here to put things in perspective.
Kira: I was thinking this was a real suicide mission.
Ghen: Have some faith in your higher ups, Comrade.
Kira: You honestly believed this wasn't even slightly crazy?
Ghen: Yes.
Ghen: I would not follow someone into a dangerous situation if I did not have faith in them.
Ghen: Would you?
