Nah, we stopped and had a big lunch while we were in there.

Are you being sarcastic.

Nah. We were gone all day and had some money and time to kill.

[ he shrugs! and then regrets it. ow, my perpetual shoulder injuries. ]

So you ate in that...place. Well...actually wait, it was a city, so makes sense...

It was the city from Riff's archway.

... But we're pretty sure it's where Bass is from, too.

...It makes sense, somehow. The memories I saw from them were vaguely similar.

There were...weird creatures, if I remember.

Yeah. Screwed up versions of animals. That's what we were fighting against all day.

...Were there any floating words at any point?

... Their thoughts, pretty sure. Yeah.

Garou basically said he had to do therapy on people's feelings.

Something like that.

We were putting thoughts in their heads. Trying to combat what they were throwing at us.

...

[She...frowns.]

I'm sure that...hit a little close to the chest.

[ :) he seems pleased about it? ]

...

Wait, you're happy because you got something like your power back, huh.

Too bad it was temporary.

[A pat to the shoulder. SIGHS.]

Maybe you'll get it back some other way.

[ i hope it was the injured one. anyway he does slump a bit. ]

... It's still in there, somewhere. I dunno.

You have heard of that other application, haven't you?

[ a very. long pause. ]

... I have. Can it give people back things they lost before coming here, though?

It's worth a try. Can't see why not. It gave us clown dentists.

[ he grimaces..... clown dentists.....

but then. hm. ]

I don't know. It's easy to drown in that kind of ability.

You could gain a little of it back. Don't need the whole thing.

That's not how it works.

How does it work?

There's no off switch.

What we did back in that place - that was something from Riff's world. That wasn't mine. It worked different. You could control it.
