A torrent of letters fly out of the mailbox, along with a single note apologizing for the amount of replies. The TCPs sigh, each scoop up a handful of letters, and take them into the living room.




One by one, the TCPs skim through the letters, handing them to the other TCPs when they get done with one. With all but two letters, the TCPs find themselves growing increasingly disappointed, sometimes outright dismayed.

Once they reach the end of the pile, they all stay quiet for a moment.

Fennel decides to address the question: “what is it that YOU want ultimately?”

Windy hesitates… but says they’d like to go exploring again. They still want to know what the rest of the Tower Maze holds for them. Fennel agrees, as their last adventure was really nice… but it’s worried about the unknown danger you keep warning them about. It seems like that’s the best this world has to offer for the two of them, anyway.

Then the two TCPs turn to Fernando, and ask her what she wants.




Fernando growls and crumples up the letter she was holding. She doesn’t KNOW what she wants. But she knows she doesn’t want to be a pawn.

Windy tries to calm Fernando down, reminding her that Frog-Crimes is many voices, that Windy and Fennel haven’t been treated as pawns this entire time - Fernando doesn’t care.

Fernando then stands up, and yells, if you don’t even know what danger is out there but you’re still so insistent on her being a soldier for you- then she’ll go ahead and PROVE that she doesn’t need to be a soldier. She’s going to go get ready, and then she’ll explore the Tower Maze, and she’ll tell you, Windy, and Fennel about the lack of danger in this world.

Windy and Fennel shuffle uncomfortably, not sure what to do, but they offer to give Fernando some of the equipment and materials they think she might need.

If you want to TEACH or GIVE anything new to your TCPs, now is the time.
