GREETINGS, EVERYONE!!! I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, HAVE FINALIZED THE MATTER OF THE I.B. MAGITEK TOWER! WE HAVE GOTTEN THE ALL CLEAR TO INVESTIGATE FOR THE TEMPLE OF ASURA, SO LONG AS WE SIGN THE NECESSARY WAIVERS.

I'VE A SET DATE FOR JANUARY SEVENTH FOR EVERYONE WHO'D LIKE TO JOIN THE CAUSE!

ADDITIONALLY, I HEARD FROM URSULA THAT THE DEEP CLOUD OBSERVATORY MAY HOLD THE SECRET TO ZODIARK'S TEMPLE. WHICH MEANS WE MAY HAVE SOLVED THE PUZZLE OF THE FINAL TEMPLE LOCATION! WOWIE!!!

JUST THINK! WE'RE SO CLOSE TO PULLING THIS OFF!

[He could leave it at that, but at the same time...]

WE JUST NEED TO CONSIDER... CERTAIN OTHER STEPS REQUIRED TO CHANGE THE WORLD FOR THE BETTER. KEEPING IT VAGUE JUST TO BE SAFE. BUT I'M SURE MOST OF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

ANYWAY! LET'S LOOK FORWARD TO A GRAND ADVENTURE! NEW SECRETS UNCOVERED! THRILLING CHALLENGES! PERHAPS EVEN SOME PERPLEXING PUZZLES...

[He does rather like a good challenge, after all. Nyeh heh heh!!!]

That last bit isn't foreboding at all.

I'm coming with. Anyone else taking the train to the place?

[einspine]

DID YOU SEE A GRAVEYARD ON STARLIGHT?

ASKING BECAUSE THAT HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH WHAT I MEANT. I'M BEING VAGUE ON PURPOSE JUST IN CASE. IF YOU SHOOK HANDS, THEN YOU PROBABLY SAW IT TOO.

BUT THERE IS HOPE! LET'S JUST SAY THAT A LOT OF LOVE AND CARE WILL BE REQUIRED.

[defenestraighttomyheart]

No. I spent last Starlight getting everyone to know how I look crying on a desk.

And then waking up because someone across the street started shooting off fireworks at around midnight.

That's after having the most awkward dinner ever.

That's how my Starlight went.

[einspine]

AH. RIGHT. I RECALL PART OF THAT...

WELL. WITHOUT SAYING TOO MUCH, I WILL SAY THIS: WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO POUR OUR HEARTS AND SOULS INTO SAVING THIS WORLD, AND GENUINELY LOVE AND CHERISH IT.

I'M STILL NOT SURE HOW THAT'S GOING TO WORK, BUT IT'S A START!

[littlemhigan]

Other steps, huh?

[einspine]

YEP!!! SOMETHING HAPPENED ON STARLIGHT. I'M NOT SURE IF YOU WERE THERE OR NOT.

BUT IT WAS AFTER A VERY SPOOKY GRAVEYARD. A SMALL GLIMMER OF HOPE!!!

[littlemhigan]

Aye, aye, I was there an' I saw. Jes wanna hear it from another mouth so I know I'm not losin' my mind.

I'll be along. As if it wasn't already a given, at this stage.

I guess the Deep Cloud Observatory will be the next place to tick off the list, then. I'm glad that Ursula at least managed to pass that on.

[Seems to be a bit of a running theme for him, he learns something potentially of value and then the person who provided him with it vanishes without a trace.]

YES, BUT IT'S A SHAME SHE ISN'T HERE WITH US NOW...

WE'LL JUST HAVE TO HASH OUT ANY FURTHER EXPEDITION PLANS SOON. THE FACT THAT WE'RE SO CLOSE IS ASTONISHING!!!

Provided of course that all of this adventuring is bringing us closer to something other than the knowledge that may or may not actually prove useful.
