Lucidstuck II

Derrick: Do you think setting up a new communication network between the realms would be a cool idea? It would allow you to get in contact with the denizens of the dream world like Uilos much easier, and it'd give them stuff to do if they're bored. You could probably set it up pretty easily with your item combination as well



After trekking through the rocky terrain, you notice it got noticeably colder...

Derrick: Hey Uilos, what do you think about a communication network?
Uilos: What for?
Derrick: ... So we can reach people in other realms, like you!
Uilos: ... If you want to reach me, just come visit.
Uilos: Unless you're out here alone, then maybe return to the flora if you can?
Derrick: ....
Uilos: Something like a phone?
Derrick: Yeah.
Uilos: I'm not really sure how you can speak across realms though. Have you tried it before?
Derrick: Well, the internet still works. I'm not quite sure how.
Derrick: Maybe telecommunications is still a thing somehow too.
Uilos: Hmm...
Uilos: Maybe it's possible to speak with people from other realms not in your circuit then.
Reggie: That's... actually quite possible. >v>
Uilos: .... Wait a second. This bird of yours, is it your land's attendant?
Reggie: Why yes. =v=
Uilos: Wow, I'm shocked I haven't realized sooner, I'm Uilos. What's your name?
Reggie: Reggie.
Uilos: So you must know "Kalem" then right?
Reggie: Oh, the cookie? Sure.
Uilos: Cookie? I'm not sure we're talking about the same thing.
Reggie: Loham's attendant right? That's Kalem.
Uilos: Kalem? The attendant's name is "Kalem", Not Kalem. Unless it took on a new name.
Derrick: You keep saying Kalem.
Uilos: ???
Uilos: It's "Ka..."
Uilos: "Kaaaaaal"
Uilos: "eeeeeemmmm"
Uilos: Is that slow enough to understand?
Reggie: No... Still Kalem. -v-
Uilos: That's strange.
Derrick: What letter does it start with?
Uilos: "K".
Derrick: You said k, right?
Uilos: N-no! I said "K".
Derrick: What letter is it beside?
Uilos: "J" comes before it. And "L" comes after.
Reggie: So J comes before, and L comes after?
Uilos: N.... No. What is this magic?
Derrick: Reggie why can't he say Kalem's old name?
Reggie: It's not for you to know.
Reggie: He's Kalem now, that's all you need to know.
Reggie: What form had he taken before?
Uilos: He was a "Cookie". a very "Small" one too.
Reggie: See?
Reggie: What abilities?
Uilos: "I don't remember".
Reggie: You just said you don't remember.
Uilos: .... No, I said "I don't remember".
Reggie: Hehehe, this is kinda funny actually.
Reggie: Kalem's old identity exists solely in Uilos, and every bit of info is censored.
Reggie: I've never had to deal with this, so this is news to me as well.
Uilos: .... Hey look, is that him?

You spy in the distance a figure in dark blue, perhaps it is Zendo!



After catching up, you immediately notice something different about him, as if his whole demeanor has changed.

Derrick: Zendo!
Zendo: Derrick.
Zendo: What brings you here?
Derrick: I could ask you the same thing.
Zendo: I was drawn to this place. Something about the great mountain in the horizon has my interests piqued.
Derrick: Can you make it all the way up there?
Zendo: There's only one way to know.
Zendo: If I can, I will meditate atop it. Perhaps the height will enlighten me on the plight that is my very existence.
Zendo: It'll be dangerous, but for some reason, I wouldn't have it any other way.
Zendo: ... You look cold.
Derrick: Yeah, it's beginning to get chilly up here.
Zendo: All part of the journey.
Zendo: I don't feel the cold. But if I could it would only strengthen my resolve to reach the summit.
Zendo: Shall you join me?
Derrick: ...

1. Nah, just making sure you were out of trouble
2. It could be fun, sure.
