======Quotes======

* **Clark**: It seems like this time I grew quite a bit at once, and I'm afraid my clothes started tearing themselves apart.
  * **Maelle**: Oh, shit.

* **Maelle**: …or I could give you some of my old clothing. Would need to offload them anyway.

* **Maelle**: Did you ever find any other clothing around here?
  * **Clark**: Well, I found that dress at the same time as the book, maybe we can exchange it for some clothes.
  * **Maelle**: …actually.
  * **Gaia**: Oh, dress. Would match your new bre---uh.

* **Mauto**: I'm going to assume that the time loop was fake since we are alive?
  * **Maelle**: Was fake, yeah.

* **Mauto**: Remember the Rigasians with the giant spider-things? They have learned that I'm here and are asking questions so we have to move fast.
  * **Maelle**: Fuck.
  * **Gaia**: Well, Clark, take [the dress] on; we have no time.
  * **Maelle**: No choice, Clark.

* **Mauto**: Okay, sorry if I'm being rude, but did you actually grow breasts while I was not looking? Is this some bodyshifting from Macodel?

* **Fulan**: Heyyy, pale peoples.
  * **Gaia**: Hi, black person.
  * //Maelle looks at Gaia.//
  * **Gaia**: He started.

* **Fulan**: Heard you were leaving like yesterday. Not even waiting for the corpses to cool. Well, for the first one: the second is super cold and for some reason not warming. Is that a thing Clark does?

* **Fulan**: A lot of people saw Rigasia and thought they could use them for a bit of help, but then they actually talked to the Rigasians, and are starting to get big doubts about it, even if it's just because trying to go against the Anagusi is pretty much the stupidest idea since they dropped the bombs.

* **Fulan**: Rigasia has huge issues as a potential ally; your people on the other hand might benefit from getting some help from here. And when the Rigasians get stomped by Anagut---and we're pretty sure they will---Anagut will keep the portals running so we might find each other again.

* **Gaia**: Should we steal a tank and explode it into the other one then?
  * **Fulan**: Don't the ela-GAT have π cells? Exploding one is a horrible idea, kid, that's how you make a Zone.

* **Clark**: [The dress] feels so weird, weirdly comfortable. Though it might get cut and torn in the road?
  * //Maelle is casually trying not to smile at the fact that Clark is so obviously an egg.//
  * //Fulan is failing to do the same.//

* **Gaia**: Oh, Arya are you ready?
  * //Ariyadna looks at Gaia and says "A-ri-yad-na".//
  * **Gaia**: Ariyadna. Arya.
  * //Ariyadna very deliberately says again "A-ri-yad-na".//
  * **Maelle**: Ariyadna, Gaia.
  * **Gaia**: Ariyadna. Okay, okay.

* **Mauto**: Looking nice, Clark. You don't give me the impression that you will melt from the heat anymore.
  * **Clark**: Haha, very funny; I might melt from embarassment, though.

* //Not needing to allow some horses to keep up, Derek goes nuts cross-country, literally jumping over anything that could be an obstacle.  Your little party runs the entire night non-stop, passing through farmland and close to small settlements. You see towns in the distances, and the silvery lines of rivers on the land. And finally, as dawn breaks you reach a bigger settlement.//

* **Clark** (entering Kesizma proper): I miss the sun already.
  * **Mauto**: Would you believe that I didn't see it in person until I was like twenty?

* **Maelle**: What's this place then?
  * **Mauto**: This is the main Kesizman Ngag. You can call it a Cave, or a Pocket Universe.
  * **Maelle**: N-no, I mean the mushroom building.
  * **Mauto**: Ah, mostly reception area, see?

* **Oleia**: Hello, visitores from Valtshora. I'm assuming this young one is the one called Gaia?
  * **Gaia**: Valtshora! How do you know?
  * **Clark**: Hello, nice to meet you.
  * **Maelle**: Kurimoto Maelle, that's who I am.
  * **Oleia**: Oleia, Speaker for the Rigasian Situation. That is who I am, at least now.
  * **Maelle**: So a diplomat you could say? Interesting!
  * **Oleia**: Yes! Yes I am!
  * **Gaia**: How do you know my name, though?
  * **Oleia**: Because there are important people on the Valtshoran side that are moving earth and heaven to find you; in fact…
  * **Ferret**: Gaia!
  * **Gaia**: Ferret! Ferret!

* **Ferret**: Did you find Clark? Wait.
  * //Ferret turns to Clark.//
  * //Clark takes a step back.//
  * //Ferret sees Clark's hat.//
  * **Maelle**: A bit of a thing happened.
  * //Ferret looks at Clark.//
  * **Maelle**: Please don't tell Dr. Kurimoto that Clark's a kitsune.
  * **Ferret**: Well, no one wins the pot.

* **Ferret**: When the portal exploded I kinda ended hitting myself coming from the other side or something? At the end there were pieces of two different arms stuck there; they had to amputate. I actually came here to get a new one. Apparently I'm super lucky because from what they say the normal reaction to meeting yourself from the other side is to stop existing with a big boom.

* **Maelle**: Eternity touched.
  * **Ferret**: What's that?
  * **Maelle**: The informal term is aberrant.
  * **Ferret**: Like… the zone things?
  * **Maelle**: Yep.
  * **Ferret**: You got like… zoned?
  * **Maelle**: Saw the cloud over Nuskom.
  * **Ferret**: Oh.

* //While you have been here, there has been a pretty regular coming and going of portal sounds because they keep opening and closing them in the platforms outside. The sound is pretty light, actually: these might be the softest portals you have heard, which makes you notice how noise the portals made by Rigasians are. But now, you hear a loud one, and everyone around you raises their heads to look.//
  * **Gaia**: Nooo.
  * **Maelle**: Oh, no. Oh, fuck. Oh, please not here.
  * **Clark**: Can't we have any time to rest?

======Trivia======

[[pc:Rose]] has no idea how to actually make a wiki page, but HAIIIII ^w^

The denseness of Clark's eggshell might be so big that it's affecting the orbits of small planetoids.

The ela-GAT are like nuclear submarines: sinking one might mean that everybody loses.

Maelle has gone from getting hit on the face with other character to actually fighting a tank crew inside the tank, and winning. It's not even that their skills are that much better, it's a matter of good rolls and strategy.

Umichooans are utter assholes, and the party caught on this so fast the storyteller got whipslash.

On the other hand, Gaia was proposing allying with the Umichooans aganist Rigasia in a poetic parallel of the attempts of Malian slaves trying to join Rigasia against Mali.
