True! Unlike you and your grandmother, they don't care about following the law here, since I can already think of 25 different things I'd like to sue them over!

I know others who can do magic, but I'm not sure who else has been using it to figure out how the place runs. So until we find another helper, I guess we'll have to keep relying on that same person I mentioned. I'll make sure to tell him that everyone's counting on him!


[No pressure, Esikko.]

That's the funny thing. He said he didn't exactly care to. But he also said he likes practicing his magic and learning new things with it.

Which sounds like a lot of effort for little gain, if you ask me. But I guess it's sort of like being a detective. Some detectives have personal motivations, like "justice" or "revenge," while others simply love to solve a good mystery.

Fine, maybe we don't have to blow up the whole place! We could just make it so that everyone who wants to leave can leave!

Though is there any rule saying you have to go home to your *own* world? If we shut the place down, perhaps those who don't have a good home to go back to can hitch a ride with someone who does! That's where all these "intimate connections" we've forged could come in handy.

I wouldn't mind letting people come back to my world. They could get jobs, rent apartments, buy my CDs and go to my concerts! Or hop on a plane and fly elsewhere! Whichever!

Yep, on second thought, getting rid of this place is just fine~

Not to worry! He seems invested in his magical research.

Also, we're friends!

Yep! It'll have to be!

I know it's not the kind of intimacy they're looking for, but I think friendships can be just as "fate-changing" as that other sort of bond. In fact, I know so!

The same goes for family, partnerships, and so on. Their view of intimate connections is too narrow if you ask me.

True, there are dangerous people around!

[He just doesn't realize Esikko is one of them. He can sense a buried spitefulness, one that reminds him of a certain "friend" back home. But as far as he knows, the most dangerous thing about Prince Esikko Blum Whatever is his willingness to hurt himself in pursuit of his own goals.]

The power of friendship alone won't save us. That can help heroes defeat villains in the movies, but it won't take care of everything in the real world.

Still, even if he decides something silly like "I don't need friends!", his love for magical research should help us through. He sounds like he'd rather do that than sit in the spa or gamble in the casino all day.

Yep! That would be just plain rude, and it wouldn't help at all with our goals! So let's do our best to get along, alright?

[If this was in-person he'd be hmmph-ing.]

Fine, fine! If you love business so much, then business is what you'll get!
