> Derrick: consider Bambino may take a really long while since there's no way into this house. Make a door hooking this place to fort system.

>Derrick: Ask Reggie which parts of yourself he represents. Kremwhal mentioned that his name would become yours if you were to turn into a monster. Ask Reggie if being an attendant gives him any insight on what this all means.

Derrick: Reggie, what parts of yourself are from me?
Reggie: Well for one, social awareness.
Reggie: I'm the side of you that's intelligent and liberated.
Reggie: Kinda cool that my form is a raven because that's a really big coincidence.
Reggie: (Those birds are known to be quite clever.)
Derrick: Kremwahl says that my name will change to his if I get possessed, since you're an attendant and all, what can you share about this?
Reggie: Well examine your local friends you've made here.
Reggie: They have pretty strange names, right?
Reggie: This place erodes rational thoughts after you've been here long enough without a tether to the outside world.
Reggie: The darkness inside will become the "real you" While that other side of you will be lost.
Reggie: That darkness doesn't associate with your reality, much as you don't with its reality.
Reggie: That's why when you take time to be alone with that side of you, things become a bit clearer as you can both see each other's perspective. You're sort of like two people in one. As if things couldn't get any more confusing...
Derrick: Hmm...
Derrick: So all the monsters are the shadows of their former selves?
Reggie: Yep. Most of the time that's a bad thing because the darkness inside is more likely to do things you would consider bad.
Reggie: But not always. It's better seen as the more truthful side that shows. And that can be rather ugly...
Reggie: I think the take-away from this interaction is to understand that the Kremwahl guy is not going to do anything you refuse to allow.
Reggie: You have the reigns, dude. No amount of intimidation will change that.
Reggie: You don't like something? Put your foot down.
Reggie: Get used to wrestling with him if he acts too brash, and that will show in your character as a person in charge of himself.
Reggie: And in turn, his surroundings.
Reggie: The mastery of the self is your final boss. ovo
Reggie: But... It doesn't have to be that way. You can tackle this whenever you feel like it.
Reggie: Just don't forget who's in charge.
Derrick: ...

Reggie's words resonate in your head. Kremwahl may seem scary to you at times, but he's a beast in a cage. As long as you hold the leash you'll always be in control.

You wonder if drawing a door to the forts in Garreth's house would be a faster way to get Bambino to come to you. However, you think it'd be best if Garreth's drew it. It's his house after all.

>Derrick: Do you think you should tell your friends about talking to their inner darkness, like you just did with Kremwahl? He didn't seem in support of it, but he also seemed very self-focused. In the long run, your friends would get more powerful and be able to more ably help both you AND themselves. Reggie is a partial personification of yourself what does he(you) think of the idea? What would Bambino(also you) think? Perhaps it's time for some more external internal dialogue.

Thank the Huss that Reggie is Derrick's intelligence and has a good head on his shoulders. Kremwahl being top dog is no good, hands down. A restrained and controlled Kremwahl who can be made to assist Derrick is good. They are all parts of Derrick, none of them should be on top, Derrick has to bring every part of himself into harmony and to heel. Kremwahl tried to push Derrick around into letting him out of the cage and off the leash, and if he predominates then Derrick will just become a monster or Lunatic, likely. Derrick must remain firmly in control of all his various parts, and I believe even Bambino will agree. He is a Prince, to rule over others he must first rule over himself.

I like how this was said. This was put very well.

You contemplate telling your friends about talking to their inner darkness, although You disagreed at first it may be a good idea for in the long run. Maybe Reggie would agree?

Derrick: Hey Reggie, what do you think about telling the others about their own darkness?
Reggie: Having trouble thinking for yourself, eh?
Reggie: Hehe, I think it's a great idea.
Reggie: This is something that can really make or break you in this land. Sure everyone has to deal with it... Eventually... Buuut there is an aspect to it that is quite prominent in this world, making it something quite deadly if left unchecked.
Reggie: Yes, no one had told you, but you can be the messenger for this revelation, sent to enlighten the rest.
Derrick: Okay.

You decide to get walking, Bambino should be close by.



You descend the loft into the green darkness of the detached isle.

Reggie: One thing I will say though, kiddo.
Reggie: This whole idea of the darkness self is just a metaphor of what you're witnessing in the lands.
Reggie: Your darkness is your inner monster. Potentially.
Reggie: Now are all monsters bad? Well that should be clear to you by now.
Reggie: What's important is to see for yourself, so try not to play backseat driver too much on this.
Reggie: It is up to them, after all.
Derrick: ...
Uilos: Oh hey Derrick.

Bambino: Hello. oyo

Uilos might not even know what shadows are, this strikes me as a potentially bad idea

>Derrick: let uilos know that zendo, an amnesiac monster, is around loham, ask if he's seen him, it is important to set him on a right path

If anything I feel like he's the person to most likely know about that stuff, being an ex-god tier and having had a lot of time to introspect.

Also seconding telling him about Zendo, we really should have done that a long time ago.

>Derrick: Oh hey, it's Uilos! You and Garreth were probably going to go search for Zendo or something once Garreth arrived, then go look for Emily so she could do her thing. Would he would like to hang out with you guys as you do that? You could probably have a fun time all together.

Uilos is probably going to give us a quest. I think we should lead that quest to a direction that we'd find productive and kill 2 birds with one stone. If it works like I'm hoping we should have time to ask him questions as we progress. Plus, it'd let the boy hang out with his crush, which would probably be adorable.

actually, this might make Uilos suspicious of Derrick. I don't really see him saying anything of more use than Reggie already has, but I do wish to talk to Bambino about it.

Derrick: Hey Uilos have you seen a zombie guy around?
Derrick: He's supposed to be in this land somewhere.
Uilos: ... I know where he is. Lucia and.. another girl, Emily had spoke of him.
Uilos: I decided to check him out to see if he was a threat, but turns out he's harmless.
Derrick: Where is he?
Uilos: Last I've heard, he headed towards heaven ascension.
Derrick: Heard? From who?
Uilos: Remember? The flora speak to me, how do you think I knew you'd be here?
Uilos: Anywhere there is flora, I can track anyone in the realm. But right now he's left the grid.
Derrick: ....

>ask if he knows if emily's about, it'd be good to have her on board for this

Derrick: Bambino, before we go you were gonna tell me something.
Derrick: You know I rescued Lucia right?
Bambino: Yes. Good work by the way.
Derrick: You said you were going to explain to me what happened with the Zendo fight.
Bambino: ... I did already.
Bambino: Or at least, I feel like I have.
Derrick: No you didn't...
Reggie: You playing games, dude?
Reggie: Be sincere. You already understand what happened, why are you pressuring Fluffy?
Derrick: ..... But...
Reggie: You really don't get it do you.
Reggie: -sigh- Well, let's not fall behind. Your buddy might leave without us.

While you did understand what Reggie meant, you figured that there would be insight to asking Bambino anyway, his response seems to indicate that may have been Kremwahl talking from inside him.

Uilos: I ferried Lucia, Garreth, and Lexii just as I'm ferrying you not too long ago, y'know?
Uilos: We role-played the duration of the trip, it was very fun!
Derrick: That sounds like a good time.
Uilos: It was. But I realized something. My boat when I first made it was built comfortably for me.
Uilos: Having some guests inside made me think that it's just too small now.
Derrick: ....
Uilos: One day, I want a bigger boat, made out of metal. I have trouble creating metal things with my powers since it's out the scope of my old trait.
Uilos: I want to sail the S.S Uilos with a big group of guests, like the role-play we did before.
Uilos: Might take some work, but with anything, hard work pays off.
Uilos: Also, since meeting you and Lucia I often wonder what your realm looks like.
Uilos: How many realms are in your group of friends?
Derrick: Including this one, three.
Uilos: Can you take me sometime? I'd like to see for myself what else is out there besides my own land.
Derrick: .... It's possible!
Uilos: How exciting! Ooh, looks like the sadness has returned... Better get going quickly.

Derrick: Okay, thanks.
Uilos: Any time, Derrick. I'll be at home if you need me. Since you'll be out of the range of my friends, you'll be on your own.
Uilos: Luckily there aren't any monsters to my knowledge around those parts. Just be careful.
Derrick: I will.

Uilos: I'm not wise, Derrick. Just repentant of my past mistakes. And that "zombie" is more like me than he is like you. Stuck in these lands.
Uilos: I'm more concerned over you and your friend's wellbeing. I would not want anything to fall upon any of you.
Uilos: Though, with that being said, I did say I couldn't see you out there. Maybe my tagging along might been a boon to you.
Derrick: So you'll come?
Uilos: Sure.

Uilos has agreed to follow you!

Fithing and possibly adding:

> Derrick: Ask Ulios about the limits of his ability to know the locations of other people. Ask if it would work if someone was carrying an item or a piece of clothing or something like a flower in someone’s hair will suffice, or if his ability needs more flora than that amount, unless the amount of plants/nature present just dictates the accuracy of his power.
