I know I've said it before, but please remember to bring a partner if you go off to explore this new world.

I know not all of you are used to this yet, so whether you're old or new don't hesitate to ask any questions. My personal frequency is 101.0110

[Should you want to talk in a more private manner.]

Okay. Now I don't know how any of you feel about this, but I'd really like to help the "human resistance" somehow. Unfortunately, the only way I can think of to find them is by causing a ruckus, and if that happens innocent people might somehow get hurt.

If anyone has any better idea I'd like to hear them. And if you think I'm being stupid, just save it. I don't want to hear about it right now.

Maybe there'll be clues or something. They probably want other people to be able to find them to help, right, so they can't be completely hidden... [Probably. It would at least make it easier.]

[dorkypantsuit]

That would make sense. Since it's a virtual world maybe they leave clues by creating something that would be physically impossible? Like rocks that float, or water that stands still.

[wild_magic]

So we just have to look for things that look magical? [He can definitely look for things that stand out like that, even if really he'd rather do something more useful.]

[dorkypantsuit]

It seems like the best plan we have right now. Or maybe if we create some impossible scenario they will keep their eyes on it and find us that way somehow. But it would probably also attract negative attention, so it could still be dangerous.

[wild_magic]

Like if we make something magical happen? 'Cause I'm pretty good at that, I could do that if you want me to. It's okay if it's dangerous to us, as long as it's not dangerous to the people we're saving.

[dorkypantsuit]

No, I don't think it would hurt anyone as long as we keep it innocuous.

[wild_magic]

I can make illusions and stuff... Like lights and things. And fire, lots of fire. But that's not really so safe probably.

[dorkypantsuit]

Yeah, just stick to the illusions for now.

[wild_magic]

[He laughs.]

The fire's more fun though!

[dorkypantsuit]

Sometimes we have to have less fun in order to do something good.

[Said as though he's giving sage advice.]

[wild_magic]

I wish we didn't. It'd be awesome if you could save people and have lots of fun at the same time.

[dorkypantsuit]

Keep dreaming big kid, maybe some day you can.

[wild_magic]

I know I can, I just don't want to wait.

[dorkypantsuit]

You know, patience is a virtue.

[wild_magic]

I don't need virtues.

[dorkypantsuit]

You don't?

[wild_magic]

Nope! I'm me and everyone else just has to deal with it.

[dorkypantsuit]

Well that's as good an attitude as any.

[wild_magic]

Yeah, I think so too!

[dorkypantsuit]

I'd be confused if you didn't.

[wild_magic]

[He laughs.]

Well, more people should think that way, I think!

[dorkypantsuit]

I wonder what your virtueless world would be like.

[wild_magic]

I think it'd be a lot nicer place than the world is now, everyone could just be happy doing what they want to do.

[dorkypantsuit]

I think a lot of people think like that every now and then. But the truth is, no matter how much we wish people we're different we can't force them to change.

The best we can do is learn how to get along with them, how to get what we want without ruffling any feathers.

[wild_magic]

I just wish that people would stop doing bad things we have to fix. That's the only thing I'd really change about people. I don't like all the rules and everything everyone has but they don't bother me as much as bad guys do.
