[ Say hi to everyone’s favorite god! ]

You somehow managed to convince Tranquility that we should help you.

Here’s what we can do for you:

• I can make you boats.
  
• Hope can make food and water.
  
• Sorrow can make maps and instructions—follow them to the letter unless you have a thing for pain and dying.
  
• Love can create compasses.
  
• Fear can create diving equipment.
  
• Rage can make sails for the boats—they’ll be better than anything you could possibly produce.
  
• Tranquility can create containers so you can bring the fragments back.

Our help is not free, though. You have to give us the power to make the equipment with. Before you start whining about how you hate us for forcing feelings on you—even though it’d be easier than this waste of time idea—you get to pick who to empower. Choose one of us, say our name out loud, and we’ll help you and long as you get us the emotion we need. Choose wisely and don’t complain later about hating the one of us you picked.

Don’t mess this up. If you do, your little adventure will probably go very badly, and you dying stresses Hope out a lot.

why havent you

[fourthreturned]

Because you complain whenever we do anything to get emotions from you.

[puzzlingly]

not everyone does

[fourthreturned]

Ok. And?

[puzzlingly]

you were complaining about those who complain
cmon try to keep up

[fourthreturned]

Nah.

[puzzlingly]

you know what
i choose you
so you stop complaining
but i doubt it

[fourthreturned]

Hurray for you for understanding that I'm the one making the boats. Whoever survives will have you to thank for using your brain.

[puzzlingly]

okay but some people already have boats
how are yours better than theirs?
and dont say because you made them that doesnt count

[fourthreturned]

You answered your own question. I make them to truly withstand the conditions here.

[puzzlingly]

i know this is not your forte but make an effort
are you saying that those boats that others made would not last out there?

[fourthreturned]

I'm saying you're wasting time arguing with me instead of getting emotions for us to do what you wanted us to do in thr first place.

General you. I know I have to clarify that for you. ]

「That... could have been worse, he supposes. Still worrisome.」

point taken
those better be some awesome boats
