“That’s great news I-“
“Our starting offer is 500,000 bucks we are saving the world after all.” Thistle says with a grin that would make a snake blush.
“What’s a buck and how would I get so many of them.” Ralsei asks.
“Well, 500,000 of whatever your currency is, or gold, gold works too!” Thistle says with a smile.
Ralsei feels his heart stop, w-was he being serious right now? 500,000 Dark Dollars!?
“Thistle, that’s just cruel.” The avian says stepping beside his dear companion in crime.
“Right? isn’t it a bit-“
“1,000,000 dollars sounds more fair.” Berdly says any semblance of sympathy dashed with the wind.
“B-but the world might end if we don’t do this!”
“Guys, your going too high.” The witch corrected
“Thank you, Ca-
“600,000 sounds more better don’t you think?” Catti smirks softly as she says this.
“A-are you seriously negotiating a price for the world?” Goat of the toothpaste said unsure of what was happening was real or not.
“Dang, your right, sensing your urgency I’ve lowered it to 400,000 dollars.” The tree explains.

Kris walked over to Ralsei. Who has been silent this entire encounter. Eerily so.
“Hm? Oh yes! Susie! Lead the way Kris!” With that Ralsei followed Kris outside of the entrance.
“You sure he’s got money” Cat asks to tree
“He’s a prince he’s gotta be loaded plus this whole place is bronze and gold. There’s gotta be some moolah in his pockets!”
“Exactly.” Berdly backs up his friend.
“Alright, let’s make some money.” Catti can’t help but be amused at how confident the two of them are at all times. It’s reassuring, no matter how ridiculous their claims can be at times.
A town gilded in an obnoxious bronze that has become a common sight enters your view. Despite’s it’s grandeur it’s seemingly empty, like a ghost town. But the trio continues on seeking to catch up to the other two. When they come across a room with a gilded floor and a dummy.
“Is that….a dummy of Ralsei?” Catti points to the cloth fabrication. It did indeed look like a-why is it moving?
At the sight of the dummy Thistle felt his vision start or blur, as something took the dummy’s place. Inexplicable geometry faded in and out of existence around the inanimate object, before a parody of life started to take place. It shook violently its wooden stand nearly collapsing. Cyan colored lines traced the floor as nature was given the finger.
