==> Kalfour: Ask these strangers for help

[bizango]

This is it. You're definitely hopelessly lost and the heat has, once again, become unbearable. You worry for awhile that this might really be it and you'll die out here in the sand, but right as you feel ready to faint, a grand building resolves itself out of the hazy air.

Or. Part of a building. By the time you reach its odd black foundation, you realize half of it is gone, sliced clean away. Still, what's left provides more then enough shade and you head inside to rest for a time. It's only after you've awoken from a fitful nap that you notice the empty spiderwebs strung across the ceiling and into the corners and you manage to become... mildly disturbed. This is unlike anything else you've seen so far and you wonder if perhaps you've been pursuing the wrong quest all along. Perhaps there's another puzzle? The outside of this building certainly looks like a larger, far more intricate version of the temples in your consorts' cities. And these webs look new enough that something must have strung them recently...

Confused and, if you're honest with yourself, desperate, you take out your husktop and start up trollian.

You don't think you're particularly likeable so it doesn't surprise you really.

[soundtricks]

[bizango]

nO~
ah~it didn't seem impOrtant~

[soundtricks]

well of course it's important
it's not like they're just gonna hate you for no damn reason
that's fucking stupid

[bizango]

Oh~is it~
i guess maybe that's true~

[soundtricks]

of course it is
so if and when you find the next bunch of them
just ask them what the fuck the problem is

[bizango]

Okay~i will~
ahaha~
sOrry~

[soundtricks]

don't apologize, geez
it's for your own good
the consorts are supposed to help with this crap
