We do have cool scars.
Did you see Shiloh's?

Oh. Probably. Triton and Ursula baby.

[Liam]
[...] It was a long day.
But we couldn't have done anything better.

How are you?

He's looking quite dashing. Took it like a champ, too.

Horrible and incesty. The ultimate yikesmonster.

[Kyra]
It seems like all the squads are a little worse for wear this time. The Shadow World is getting tougher, but so are we.

Tired, mostly. Trying [...] not to think about what happens after these last two doors are shut.

So much about the sea is incesty and awful.
Dagon taught me.

[Liam]
We are. [...] I hope it's fast enough.

I'm worried about that too.
[...] Do you believe that shadow is dead? The big one.

Who knew a movie we watched a week into the school year would be so prophetic?
Hm. Maybe we shouldn't have done that Godzilla marathon.

[Kyra]
It is. It has to be. The six of us working together took out a banquet of swarming Shadows, most of us fought off that siren song. Yeah, there were injuries, but [...] we did damn good, regardless.

It's not dead. Gut feeling. And when it comes back
[...] I'm [...] kind of hoping they only send the strongest of us to face it. Not put the less prepared in danger like that.

We'll stick with movie musicals. Here on out.

[Liam]
[...] You're right. You are. We were more than good. Even under another support.
I am proud.

But [...] I've had that feeling, too.
You know that everyone else would just insist on coming.

You say that now, but we'll see how you feel when you need to sing a power ballad to defeat a Shadow.

[Kyra]
Me, too. Of everyone. You included, highness.

So I guess [...] we just need to prepare everyone.
Yeah. Yeah, I know. How would you even pick the "strongest," anyway. [...] I guess I just [...] wish no one had to face it.

I have an awful voice.

[Liam]

And you.

Well. We don't know for sure. Maybe at the end it'll all just [...]collapse. No climax at all.
I hope no one has to.
It's [...] I wish we even knew what to prepare.

Maybe that'll work to your advantage against shadows.

[Kyra]
[...] Thank you. I

Hey, anticlimactic sounds fine if it means no colossal psychic beast that can read our thoughts.
Yeah. Like [...] a nuke. Just a giant ass nuclear bomb.

I [...] could die happy without meeting that.
But imagine if we win.

[...] All of us together. We're a lot more than they were.
We're kind of a bomb.

That would have to drop money when we kill it, right?

Mm, I guess we are pretty explosive when we all work together. It's kind of terrifying, still, but [...] we're definitely in a better place than our predecessors. You're right.

You’d think. It’d have to.

We are. We really are.
[...] I guess it’s pointless to worry.

I guess I'd be happy if it exploded into cake or maybe even just confetti, too. Honestly. Not picky, here.

Yeah. [...] That's been a hard policy to adopt but [...] I'm getting better at it. We'll cross that bridge when we get there, right? And we've been studying a lot of metaphorical bridges in the meantime.

We’re all getting cake. After we defeat it. No matter what it explodes into. (Probably smoke or guts.)

I’m [...] trying to be better.
But you’re right.
We’re practically architects.
Bridge experts.
I’m not sure what they’re called.

I'll wear a rainslicker. Just in case.
I vote for ice cream cake.

Civil engineers? I'm not sure, either. But we are them. [...] You think about what you're gonna do if we beat this stuff, much?

Multiple ice cream cakes.

[...] I haven’t let myself lately. Think of what happens next. Too many [...] loose ends yet.
Do you? Think about it?

One for each tarot card in our little deck. Sounds nice.

Mm, I hear you. It feels like tempting fate but [...] yeah, I have been. Just in case. Spend plenty of time thinking of the alternative, too, of course, but "How do I be a big brother?" "How do we all keep in touch with everyone?" and "How the hell do I keep Marty from dropping out of high school after this?" are nicer worries.

Edited 2019-04-16 19:45 (UTC)

Much happier problems. You’ll be an amazing big brother. And Marty better stay in school.

[...] It would be strange. To not come back next year.
Maybe if there’s nothing left to fight we could anyway.
Have a normal boarding school.
Sports teams and all.

You've still got to come over this summer to grade my brothering.

I agree. I don't know how I could go back to normal school.
That'd be [...] okay.
You could play tennis again.

Of course I will. I want to meet your sibling.
Boy or girl? Do we know?

I could.
And you could use all your strategy for campaigns. In Gaming. Wouldn't miss shadows at all.

Girl. And probably werewolf.

Not in the least. Although I'd appreciate a boxing club, too.

Oh. A given. I insist on knowing her. I can’t wait.

I’d help co-found. Boxing would be fun.
