[All protagonists will have their names abbreviated for dialogue,full names will be used for their first dialogue in the first part they appear in] [Proto woke up to find Enderlin talking to an unfamiliar slugcat who wandered into their den] Pro: "EEP!""Who's that!?""How did they get in here?!" End: "Oh this is Pastelle.""I hate to say it but you were correct! We were followed!" Past: "No need to worry!""I want to help you!""For whatever reason you are all gathered here!" End: "She also needs to find her pup or something." Pro: "Oh well if that's the case she can come with us!" Gran: "Why are we letting all of these weird guys follow us!" Pro: "Well first of all, helping them is nice, and second of all, having more guys helping us is good!" End: "I don't have all day come on let's go!" Pro: "Alright! To the structure!" [The company leave the shelter before Enderlin stops the group] End: "Hold on!""If we go to structure.""We will get sick!" Pro: "Me and Granule shouldn't get sick!" End: "But me and Pastelle can't go!" Past: "Even if we were able to go in, Enderlin doesn't like that particular one." Gran: "Seriously?!""What do you mean you don't like it." Past: "That's Enderlin's business!""I think we should stop and see if we can get help from another one of those structure things." End: "There is one nearby to the north of these desert regions." Pro: "So we will stop there!" [The four of them began venturing to the Volcanic Summit. Proto closely watched Pastelle as she seemed very odd compared to other desert slugcats, the way her antennae didn't curl and the way they were shriveled was a bit unsettling. Proto didn't seem to really mind though. About 3 cycles in, as the group went to sleep, Proto felt a weird cold feeling go down his back. He began to slip into a dream] ~Proto wandered around in a shaft illuminated by the glow of a greyish blue overseer. It was giving Proto directions, but he couldn't read them, not that he could read in the first place. Suddenly, Pastelle interrupted Proto's dream~ Past: "Proto! Come with me!""I have something to show you!" Pro: "Wait what?" [Pastelle grabbed Proto's claw and dragged him into some kind of sea of pearls] Pro: "What's going on?" Past: "It's a bit hard to explain!" [Pastelle grabbed a rosy pearl. Everything faded to black but suddenly it turned to some other dark room where Granule was collecting pearls.]
(Have to continue here cus scratch wont let me have nice things) [Before Granule could say anything, Pastelle took both Proto and Granule out of the dream back to where all the pearls were. She selected a pearl, and tried to take them to another dream. It all seemed to be foggy though. All Proto and Granule could see was a fuzzy figure before the dream ended]~ [They all woke up confused] Pro: "What was that?" Past: "What a shame, it seems I haven't gotten enough of a of your little friend!" End: "Come on guys.""We have other things to do." Pro: "Right!" [Proto and company started traveling again, as they reached the transition into Volcanic Summit, Proto found a grapple worm and refused to let it go. Out of a corner, a small yellow slugcat peered towards Enderlin with excitement in her eyes.] Wisp: "Nimb-""Wait you aren't Nimbus!" [Enderlin jumped up and immediately became defensive] Gran: "Calm down it's just another slugpup!""Sorry she's a bit feisty.." Wisp: "No problem!""What are you all doing here?" Pro: "We are here to see that guy!" [Proto points at the structure in the distance] Wisp: "Oh, now's not a great time!""We recently went through a big loss here." Pro: "Aw shucks..." Wisp: "There's another one nearby though to the east!" Gran: "Thank you!" Pro: "You want to come with us?" Wisp: "Really?""If I'm going to go, Vulcan and Anenome II have to come too!" End: "What-" [A blue lizard kind of flops down from a ceiling above them, upon further inspection, there was a scavenger accompanying the lizard] Wisp: "See they gotta come with us!" [Anenome II, the blue lizard seems to be growling at Enderlin, while Vulcan, the scavenger, tried to calm down Anenome] Gran: "More creeps?!" Pro: "Come on it will fun!" Wisp: "Let's go!""We must hiberate!" [The 4 of them, now 7, all begin following Wisp to a shelter, Proto tries to show Enderlin some kind of trick with the grapple worm, before Proto gives the worm to Anenome II, who accepts the worm. They all squeeze into one shelter and hibernate] [Epilogue] [Staring at the new interfaces, Storms upon Cloud Nine, opens a new broadcast interface] SuCN: "Hello?" SD: "HELLLLLOOOOO!!!" SS: "Spiraling Darts!""We don't scream when we add new iterators to the group!" ECHo: "Welcome, Storms upon Cloud Nine, to the Stars, Twilight Receiving local group.""We are pleased to have you here!" FOiB: "Oh uhh hi?" SuCN: "Wait wait, who are you all?" SS: "The one screaming is Spiraling Darts, then there is Echoing Choices Hovering onward, and the other guy is Flowering Orchids in Bloom.""Darts keeps screaming and Orchid is stupid and incompetent." SuCN: "I'm sure we can work on that.."
