You may have noticed some abnormal behavior regarding the Door. Normally it doesn't bring in anything so large, and we did not expect it to do so this time. Delight and I have been attempting to alter the Door to send you home, as you have so often requested, but as I have said again and again, we have very little knowledge in this area. We will try again.

My appreciation for those who slew the dragons. We did not intend on their arrival, and I would be willing to grant you a favor in return for your efforts - if it's within my power, and not too foolish.

I don't remember that at all.

[tbh he wasn't listening too closely, SORRY MAN]

He shouldn't be so useless to me.

[How dare!!!1!]

You've been here like a month.

[purpleknee]

Your point? It's been a rough month. And that doesn't change that everyone has been here long enough and the best he can do is bring in monsters.

[thechoiceisyours]

The point is that you haven't really had a chance to see any of the good stuff, like that Hope's kind of the reason we're not all dead from starvation or whatever, that everyone who did die for some reason here isn't still that way, that there aren't wendigos running all over the city, that anyone knew where to look when half the people here got buried alive, and a whole bunch of other stuff.

I dunno what everyone else's problem is but I guess they're just more into being pissed off at the easiest targets than doing anything else right now.

[Okay, now he's getting a little snippy, though it's less at Warrick personally than the whole situation.]

[purpleknee]

Look, it's great that he's been helping all of you and cleaning up every other god's messes, but that doesn't change the fact that my needs are different and he pisses me off. The most he's done for me is offer to trade for a heart that wouldn't even be mine. Yeah, that sounds great.

[thechoiceisyours]

Okay, I don't really know what that means. But even if he hasn't done anything that's actually useful to you, do you want to go home? At least he and Delight are trying to get that working.

[purpleknee]

And failing. Failures shouldn't be rewarded.

[thechoiceisyours]

As much as it'd be great if it wasn't, failing's kind of inevitable when you're trying something new.

[purpleknee]

And we've come to a full, beautiful circle, haven't we?

[thechoiceisyours]

[It's a good thing this is text because the sigh Chris gives is a little overdramatic for the conversation.]

Whatever. Be pissed off all you want; it just kind of seems like not the best priorities to me.

[But he's not going to argue about it any more.]
