>>12583194As we headed back to the airship, (which we learned was going to *stay* an airship until further notice. Perhaps Captain Swalot could capitalize on it? First super haunted spooky cruise in the sky?) Mantine sighed.
"So...I guess...the Efixir was all used up."
I nodded, "Unfortunately, yes. It appears so."
He looked to the ground in shame, "So this was just a big waste of time then?"
Quags couldn't believe his ears, "WHAAAAAAAT?! Big waste of time? Definitely not! Don't you see what happened today? We got to visit an island, get trapped in a dream world, get high on Dream Mist, explore a ship, and RAISE an island just so it'll be conjoined with it's long forgotten bro-island! These two days have not gone unproductive!"
Mantine forced a faint smile, "Yeah, I suppose you're right, generic-sidekick. I just wish that for once, my hopes weren't shattered. And now it seems like that's exactly what's going to happen."
We watched him saunter off back on board, in a way, we did win that day, in another, we lost.
"Hmm..."

"HEY! GIVE ME YOUR LUNCH MONEY!" said Num-Nums, the Numel who unfortunately underwent a brutal past with abusive parents, that I don't very much feel like recounting to you.
The Wynaut craned his head, "Actually, my good man, my parents manage my lunch account digitally on the inter-webs. Dad puts a good $20 at the beginning of each month, all I have to do is enter my ID number, and wazoo!"
Num-Nums growled, and then picked up the Wynaut by his head. It's sad, really, the only reason he ever bullied anyone to begin with was to just do the stuff he wished he could unleash on his parents, on people much smaller than him.
"WELL THEN, GIVE ME YOUR ID NUMBER!"
"I'm only level 4, I don't remember stuff like that. I have to read it off a paper."
"THEN GIVE ME THE PAPER!"
"It's in my cubby."
"WHERE IS YOUR CUBBY?"
