You should've seen the sun we got on the last day in Three's realm. It was amazing.

[quercusoptima]

Would you tell me about it?

[floorcandy]

You know "red sky at morning, sailor take warning?"

[quercusoptima]

I've heard the phrase, yes.

[floorcandy]

It was the perfect image of that! Red sky, pink clouds, and dark shimming ocean!

[quercusoptima]

And this was before you all left--?

[floorcandy]

The morning we left! It was a little ominous.

[quercusoptima]

[wryly] A little, you say ...

[floorcandy]

I thought it was pretty.

[quercusoptima]

If ominous.

[floorcandy]

That whole set of days was ominous. One more omen was a little thing by that point.

[quercusoptima]

I suppose. I am glad that you came through all right.

[floorcandy]

I helped defeat a giant crab! And a giant squid!

[quercusoptima]

... I hope there aren't many of those still around.

[floorcandy]

No, they were a one-time thing.

[quercusoptima]

That's something, at least ...

How is everyone else doing, today?

[floorcandy]

Uh... not so good. We lost a lot of other people to the Book. Half of Citrine.

[quercusoptima]

Half of-- what on earth is going on?!

[floorcandy]

Maleficent got her 'voice' back and gave us a lot of information, and there've been storytellers around in the unlocks... the Darkness got riled up.

[quercusoptima]

Her "voice" ... ? She was able to speak just fine when I was there.

[floorcandy]

She can say things she wasn't allowed to before.

[quercusoptima]

In what way ... ? About the world in general, do you mean?

[floorcandy]

Yeah. And about what happened that made the Personae go into stories.

[quercusoptima]

And for that, all of those people were taken--?

[floorcandy]

Apparently so... there's been weird monsters too. A kid on Citrine was attacked by his own shadow.
