We need to move. Between the energy from the Door and other concerns, we can't stay here - it's far too dangerous. Thanks to your help, we believe it's possible to use the Door to move the city rather than Fear's powers. This should be substantially easier on you.

Going back underground is still unlikely to be safe. Of the planet surfaces that we've identified as safe, there are two remaining. Sorrow mentioned them before, but I will repeat the gist of what he said, for anyone who wasn't here before - or anyone who simply didn't pay attention.

One planet is rich and lush, with enough cover from the plants and trees that we should be able to effectively hide from the Null. It is warmer and more humid than this world, if you wish for a place with a climate more amenable to your bodies. It will also provide trees, animals, and edible plants.

The other is cold and mainly devoid of life. It would also be a change of climate, but a less amenable one, rather than more. It is the first planet the Null attacked, and where we had embassies. There may still be some information there, but I can't guarantee it. In addition, it may hold dangers we aren't aware of.

These are your choices. I apologize for being unable to offer you more, but it's unlikely that any of the locations we've traveled to in the past are safe any longer.

Please make your choice.

I didn't even know we HAD mopeds.

On the other hand if we're all frozen we'll be less bitchy so they'll probably like that.

[circumitus]

they dont benefit from shit if we're all frozen. fear needs his fear, tranquility needs his chill, hope needs us to not be wretched sacks all the fucking time.

[theweakhavepurpose]

hope is probably starving to death.

poor guy, i know what thats like.

[circumitus]

same, but he also isnt really doing himself any favors right now.

its a wonder he even bothers. of all the ones who gets attempts on their life the most, it's him.

[theweakhavepurpose]

its a fucking stupid idea to kill the guy keeping you alive.

is everyone an idiot?

[circumitus]

do you really need to ask that?

[theweakhavepurpose]

i feel like i shouldnt have to.

did any of them even get close to killing him?

[circumitus]

[There was Sharon, but Rey isn't very comfortable with bringing up the Silent Hill Zone with someone who's as skittish as Pratt, so.]

the null.

their aim was to assassinate hope. they got sorrow instead.

[theweakhavepurpose]

not much of a god if they can be killed.

what happened when sorrow died? did it matter to this place at all?

[circumitus]

lots of mythologies tell stories about gods that are killed. tho the ones we're dealing with arent like any of earths ideas of gods and goddesses.

the orchard was in a sorry shape for a while which was a pain for my supply. most of the things around here are powered/supplied by at least one of them.

[theweakhavepurpose]

at least they didn't live to see it cut down for boats.

powered by the orchard or powered by the gods?

[circumitus]

actuallyyyyyyy
that happened AFTER he was resurrected again.

[Awk.]

the gods.
or whatever you want to call them.

[theweakhavepurpose]

well that sucks.

I almost feel bad for these guys claiming to be gods. Everyone hates them. The stuff they give us we fuck up.

and both us and whatever the hell the null are want to kill them.

[circumitus]

oh no theres been plenty of fuckups on both sides to go around.
it was one of their own that damned well near got hope killed by working with the null.

guess that just adds insult to injury.

[theweakhavepurpose]

sounds like being human. no one betrays their own people quite like us.

[circumitus]

try telling them that.
some of us even brought up the fact that their own was more likely to be the one selling them out than any of us.
they were too fucking dense to listen.

[theweakhavepurpose]

guess they'll learn the hard way.

no one wants to think its the people closest to them they need to distrust the most. lesson learned.
