Hey there. Thanks for telling Hope to bring me back - hopefully you all can get some use out of these vehicles I made. I think they're pretty neat.

How are you all liking the place? I forgot how messed up the city got before I died. It looks like Hope fixed some of it up, at least. I'm too low on power to do any real improvements, but this temporary facelift should last for a little longer. Enjoy the vacation while you can, uh - 'humans', right? That's what most of you are called?

Enjoy the vacation, humans, and the vehicles. I'm Tranquility, I made this city, and it's sure nice to be back.

Hope's hopeless!
What irony.

Maybe I'll do what I can to help.
It can't be healthy for him, poor dude!

[fifthreturned]

He has too much hope. That's why he's so stressed - always working for something better, I guess. But sometimes you've just got to relax, you know?

[hasitsthorns]

Do you guys have, like, birthdays? Holidays?
I feel kinda bad that he seems so stressed out all the time.

It's admirable how hard he works, but he could definitely use a vacation of his own.
Or, heck, maybe he just needs to get laid.

[ That always helps with stress, right? ]

[fifthreturned]

We don't really have either of those things. We also don't really 'get laid', which I assume refers to sexual relations.

[hasitsthorns]

[ That... raises so many questions... ]

Wait, so
Ignoring the fact that's really sad and ya'll are missing out

How do you reproduce?
And if you don't have birthdays, are you born? Or do you just like...pop into existance?

[ how even do you guys work ]

[fifthreturned]

Those are pretty personal questions. I'm not sure you'd understand the explanation, anyway.

[hasitsthorns]

[ Mm. She supposes they are pretty personal, aren't they? Rose doesn't mind invasive questions... but there again she usually just lies about them. ]

Fair enough!

Alright, I have an easier question.
Still a little personal, but.
What's your favorite color?

[fifthreturned]

Hmm. I like grays and silvers, I guess.

[hasitsthorns]

Somehow, that isn't surprising.
But good to know!
I'll have to ask the the others, too, what theirs are.

[ She actually refrains from saying 'gods' because... They're starting to feel less and less like them. Powerful beings, definitely, but. Unlike anything she'd known, apparently. ]

[fifthreturned]

Sure. They might think it's pointless, though. Some of them.

[hasitsthorns]

To be fair
It kind of is!
But I'm still curious, so. Why not?

[fifthreturned]

Hey, if that's your thing, go for it. It can't hurt, right?

[hasitsthorns]

Yeah, that's the spirit!
There's a point to it, really.
But it's a secret for now.

[fifthreturned]

I'll be looking forward to finding out the secret.
