Oh flow gears interesting, in what way would it be useful to your plan, Darling?

🌙 “The Flow Gears.”

“If the masks of Polokus are elements, then these gears are properties made by The Muse. They control the flow of the world and how it functions. Minor gears aren’t useful on their own, but they lead us to the Four Reality Flow Gears. Gear of Time, Gear of Place, Gear of Mind and Gear of Body.”

“We haven’t seen four gears since the departure of the Muse of Poets… but my dad was searching for them. Meaning that where they are, He is.”

As you go outside to check what’s happening, could we know the name of your Great nephew, Rayman

☀️ “Oh my great niece? What was her name Bimbette?”

“It’s Mai.”

“Well there you go.”

The thingy-ma-jig walked out of the house as he closed the door a little too harshly, his eyes resting on the last person he’d want to see collapsed on the sand.

Sighing as he went to greet the person on the ground.

Darling, how’s your old clown caretakers doing?

🌙 “I don’t owe you any explanation of that! I’m heading home!”

[rayman-grinding-gears]

Congrats on being a grandad Globox! I guess that makes Rayman a great uncle.

☀️ “yeah it’s definitely surreal! But I think Rayman makes a pretty good grunkle”

Something is outside

Hiya! How are y’all’s days going? Question for Darling, what’s your favorite genre of literature? Or, if you don’t like to read, your favorite genre of music?? Lots of love <3<3<3

🌙 “good, let’s head back home. I can start studying the gear there, Selene can take over command from there.”

“Yeah right, I’m gonna go fight. Call it a distraction.”

“I’ll call it a nuisance instead.”

Rayman, do you have a crush on Ly the fairy?

“Those two were gonna make it! Heck I’m pretty sure they’re married by now, I mean come on it’s Ly and Ray! Practically soulmates right Ray?”

[rayman-grinding-gears]

Oh wow 200 years! Rayman, How long has it been since you’ve known Globox?

☀️”oh wow that’s, huh…”

“We’ve known each other since we were little kids! Or well. When I was 7 and just defeated Mr. Dark and Globox was 12.”

“Oh yeah I remember that! Kinda… it was a long time ago…”

“Thank polokus for that, his naps are crazy long!”

[rayman-grinding-gears]

☀️The Valley had sure grown since Rayman’s time as a kid. What was once a tiny little village by the sea turned into a whole town with his friends!

Although there was only one house he was gunning for.

Edge of town, quaint. A little swampy but hey he didn’t complain, it’s where his buddy Globox lived!

Opening the door would however be a uh- shock?

WAIT. WHAT?

“You’re not Uglette?!”

[rayman-grinding-gears]

Rayman, does Betilla ever just look up and observe the stars? Does she have a observatory in her home to study them?

☀️”oh all the time! Her house is a huge observatory even. Honestly I liked it when me and her went on moonlight flights.”

“They were my favorite times, I can even remember some of the constellations. The Ex-Li-Fe Constellation was my favorite! Oh wait! I’m here!”

[rayman-grinding-gears]

My mistake, can we see your buggy friends like Bzzit or the fireflies?

☀️”oh yeah! Most of them have moved on by now, since they’re mostly seasonal visitors or working with someone else but one of them stayed. He just goes by Bzzit and uh, I saw him this morning.”

“Kinda wish I didn’t. But hanging out with Globox today will fix that all up for me!”

[rayman-grinding-gears]

Hey Rayman, could we know anything about your neighbors I heard of a nice musician and his family being around there.

☀️”oh yeah the musician and his wife! Those two still live up in the mountains but their daughter lives down here with us!”

“She’s nice, I come for advice on gardening more times than I’d like to admit. Honestly, it’s just wild to get that she’s an adult like me now… last time I saw her she was a baby! I guess that’s what I get for sleeping 200 years ha…”

“Her name is Addie”

[rayman-grinding-gears]

🌙 ”the fairies would just get in the way of balance again for their so called peace, without nightmares there wouldn’t be sweet dreams. The less betilla and her brat are in my way the better.”

☀️”The Glade has FINALLY gotten peaceful, sure it’s a bit boring but I don’t want it to become a living nightmare. Mr. Dark being gone is the best thing to happen, and it should stay that way.”

[rayman-grinding-gears]

Darling, what’s Mr. Dark like? Does he visit?

🌙“My father Hmm? He’s, quiet. Keeps to himself often… hates failure. And he has the funny little habit of disappearing when it’s most inconvenient.”

“It’s no matter, we’re going to find him. After all, the Flow Gears were the last thing he was researching… along with this urchin.”

[rayman-grinding-gears]

Do you like bugs? Can we see a few of them buggy friends?

[rayman-grinding-gears]

So Rayman what did it first feel like to come into existence?

☀️“Unsurprisingly I uh, don’t remember. I was a baby back then, I’m sure betilla would know more about it than I would? Anyways! Nice to get letters all the same!”

[rayman-grinding-gears]

But I suppose you didn’t want all that information, apologies. I’ve been out of touch as of late…

I’ll be opening two mailboxes… but in order to not confuse the Lums I must request you make the recipient clear.

Do you want to Ask Rayman or Darling a question?
