New World

"The barrier is down. Back to work, then... especially with so many people hungry, and Caram's orphanage, and..."

*a moment of silence...*

"We got a ping from one of our communicators out there, in the wider world. Even though the world is... basically gone and mixed up to who know what now. When we got there, the king or mayor or whatever knew everything about us. Including our history, and what we're all good at. Somehow, he thought it would be a good idea to be super nice, and let us all know how much he knew about us, so we would support him against the people the other side."

"It didn't work well, because we all immediately decided to check out what he didn't tell us about - the west side of this city called Dyad. There was a lot less tech there, and a supposed absentee king who wasn't leaving the castle. Also, the east king, Sal, had people making sure people couldn't get through to the west castle. So we checked with the locals supporting him, and eventually we were able to find an opening to get there."

"A... pretty messy opening, yeah, but it got us in. Turns out, the absentee king was a really confused King Reedi, who was beside himself about what was going on and his missing wife. Someone took his communicator, so he was stuck there. Turns out it was Sal, of course."

"Thanks to the communicator magic bullshit that keeps us safe too, and a little well-timed fog, we were able to get him out safely and start plans for his comeback. We set up flyers, a parade, and a bunch of other stuff to re-establish him. Of course, Sal came there to pretend to play nice. I had a little talk with him to make sure he did play nice, and Ento really sealed the deal. Sal got the communicator back as his show of good faith, and now a lot of the crew is going to be here a while to help out."

"I think I'm going to need to ask around about a few things. I heard some stuff during that last meeting, and I think it'd be a good idea to follow up. I'll have to ask around a bit with a couple people before I have another polite talk."
