IC In The Void...

[RedRatDragon⨂]

("wow. take the gem please.")

 

[Cheese sticks]

I'm billions of years old
(I gtg now)

 

[Boop Noodle]

*they take the gem, which slots into the staff*
(alright, cya!)

 

[RedRatDragon⨂]

("oh, he's asleep. that was uneventful.")
*earnest continues to search for gems*

 

[Boop Noodle]

*they find the last gem*
"and that's all 7."
*it slots into the staff, and it actually changes form, the gems fusing to the staff*

(this is the staff now, don't mind the bottom gem)

 

[Boop Noodle]

"."
"well that's new"

 

[RedRatDragon⨂]

("Huh. strange. maybe it's the void altering the appearance?")

 

[Boop Noodle]

"Maybe..."

 

[Cheese sticks]

*wakes up* then it may alter our powers too

 

[No. 1 Usagi]

Sylvain was asleep.

Oh wow nice staff ok goodnight.

 

[Esther]

Esther watches from a distance, not saying anything.

 

[RedRatDragon⨂]

("..... why are you all still asleep? you should be finding a way out of here.")

 

[No. 1 Usagi]

Yes, but then I have to do taxes.

 

[Esther]

"..."
Esther is silent.

 

[RedRatDragon⨂]

("esther you need to say something. eventually. also I've never understood taxes. the government knows how much you owe them and makes you figure it out anyway, and if you guess wrong you go to jail for it. seems messed up.")

 

[Esther]

"I just don't know what to say..."

 

[RedRatDragon⨂]

("hm, that IS a problem. why aren't we all finding a way to get you out of the void?")

 

[No. 1 Usagi]

Sylvain is playing Despacito on a recorder. Badly.

Spoiler: Why

 

[RedRatDragon⨂]

("PLEASE STOP.")

 

[No. 1 Usagi]

No.

Sylvain plays it even louder.
