I think that, um, with all those portals being closed, that's the last of the things that the Door brought through. I can't sense anything else, anyway.

Whew!!! What a crazy couple of weeks! You guys were all real troopers for hanging in there with us. I really thought we might be able to send you home!

I'd say "drinks are on me", but they kind of always are... so stop by for some drinks if you want! I've got some Delight shots ready to serve up too if any of you want to party all night with me!!! It's gonna be really fun, okay? We can forget all about that weird Door/demon/disaster stuff for awhile and just have a good time.

I'm already looking forward to it!

They shouldn't. They haven't turned anyone blind yet.

[muscovy]

And you haven't made any new ones over the last month?

[secondreturned]

Well, the shots in the bar right now are new. I wouldn't give you old consumables!

[muscovy]

Then you should warn people that the drinks might be dangerous in case you're still confused, yes?

[secondreturned]

Oh, the other gods don't affect me! I wasn't confused at all.

[muscovy]

But all of you were very silly this month.

[He'd been kind of ...gracefully assuming that they must have hit their heads, instead of meaning collective harm or being that level of incompetent.]

[secondreturned]

No... I don't think we have been.

Why do you say that?

[muscovy]

You caused a lot of trouble trying to do something that half of the people here don't want to happen, yes?

[As if the results weren't obvious enough.]

[secondreturned]

I'd say a lot more than half of you did want it to happen.

[muscovy]

You did not poll us on it, yes?

[To be fair, there might have been a poll that he simply missed.]

[secondreturned]

No, but so many of you were saying that you wanted to go home... I think we had a large enough sample.

[muscovy]

The ones who didn't want to go had no reason to say something, and those who are good either way hadn't either. So it was a very one-sided sample.

[Your methods suck and your sample was skewed, get some proper scientific methods in there ...is not what Muscovy is saying, but it's something along those lines.]

[secondreturned]

Do you not want to go home either?

[muscovy]

I will wait as long as is necessary if it means that I will be able to take my mum with me when I go.

[Calling her that for the moment because it's important to clarify the quality of this relationship.]

[secondreturned]

Your mother is here? I didn't know that!!

[muscovy]

She has been here longer than me.

[Even though she doesn't have the exact history that his original Rey had.]

[secondreturned]

Then you'd both go home together though! That's how it works.

[muscovy]

Promise?

[secondreturned]

I mean, unless she's dead in your world or something... I don't see why not?

[muscovy]

She isn't.

[She's also not alive because she is, as far as he can tell, from a different world (or maybe just from the future). But, details.]

[secondreturned]

Then there you go!
