-hello?

[On the screen is a woman, maybe in her mid twenties. When she sees that the feed is on, her face lights up into a wide smile. The shelf behind her has a few bottles on it, and the whole place seems to glow with a warm light.]

Oh. Hello! I'm Delight. Hope has seen it fit to bring me back, and I want to thank you all for your part in my resurrection.

I created this bar for you. The things you'll find in here are safer than the things you might discover wandering around, and I'll do my part in keeping it stocked. Come down if you'd like to chat- I look forward to meeting you all!

I suppose it does, doesn't it?

What do you think about the other two?

[secondreturned]

He works harder than you think.

[At the other question, she shrugs, looking a little conflicted for a moment.]

Rage is a good friend. A bit full of herself sometimes, but she's dependable and I like her. Fear-

[Delight's pleasant expression sours at the thought of him.]

-he's a coward.

[synthedick]

[He notes that change in expression.]

How so? If you don't mind me asking, of course.

[video]

[secondreturned]

How is he a coward?

[She has to consider that carefully for a moment.]

He opened the Door, didn't he? He brought you all here for his own gain. He hurts you so he can get stronger because he knows he can get away with it.

[synthedick]

Is there some way to stop him?

[video]

[secondreturned]

Maybe.

[She shakes her head.]

But if you did then you would be trapped here, wouldn't you? He's the only one who knows about the Door.

[video]

[synthedick]

And what, none of us are capable of learning about it? Not even you gods?

[video]

[secondreturned]

Alright. Where would I start?

[Curiously.]

[video]

[synthedick]

Well, how did he learn about the Door? I don't expect there's an instruction manual lying around for that thing, is there?

[video]

[secondreturned]

I don't know. Certainly not an instruction manual. Or- I guess there could be, but I've never seen one.

[Please teach her in the ways of detecting, Nick.]

[video]

[synthedick]

I don't suppose Fear would explain it if you asked him, either.

[video]

[secondreturned]

No... he's of the mind that it's in his best interest to keep it secret from us. I guess he's not wrong, since you want us to try and close it.
