The Bribe Modus is a highly useful sylladex for storing items. As for taking them out... ninety nine times out of one hundred, it's perfect. But every once in a while, it locks up. It requires an item of higher or equal value to be traded for the item in storage.

Ugh, finally. Now to make up for lost time in style.

CONSIS: Thank You 2o Much For Your Preciiou2 Tiime

SRIKOS: D --> Think nothing of it dear friend. T8ke the tunnel, it will 8e faster than a round trip with Authour.

You have no idea how this will help at all but okay.

To recap, you are GLAUCI VANTAS and have yet to have a proper introduction. Maybe you never will. Perhaps the fate of this game rests on some obscure talent hidden in you introduction paragraph that no one will ever see. But that's complete bullshit so fuck that noise.

Oh, you're also stuck in a closet. That's a thing that's happening. You were looking around Carove's hive just to get used to walking and tripped into this freaky stalker shrine. You want out and you're willing to do anything right about... now.

Hey, that "useless junk" is made up of childhood and dreams!

Ervinn does some basic rearranging and combining, opening up three empty slots.

ERVINN: aNY CLUE WWHO’S GETTIN EXECUTED HERE sRI?

SRIKOS: D --> I'll keep that in mind.

SRIKOS: D --> Feel free to search through the ca8inets ne%t to entry room. It's full of items that you can alchemize with.

SRIKOS: D --> Authour will escort you to your hive afterwards and the game can 8egin.

ERVINN: oKAY,

ERVINN: bUT UH,

SRIKOS: D --> Yes Ervinn?

ERVINN: yOU SAID SOMETHIN ABOUT A “gREAT cOALTITION”,

ERVINN: wWHAT IS THAT?

SRIKOS: D --> It refers to a grand event that happened on the d8 of our 8irth.

SRIKOS: D --> There are minimal details on the event. As a matter of fact I have found only a single document which is aware of the event at all, suggesting it was somehow written during or after the event.

ERVINN: "sOMEHOWW”?

SRIKOS: D --> The simple implic8tion that someone lived long enough to write down so many details during a dou8le depopul8tion of all sentient 8eings is a8surd. However there is no other e%plan8tion for the report's e%istance.

ERVINN: sO ALL THOSE DEAD BODIES,,,

SRIKOS: D --> Former inha8itants.

SRIKOS: D --> Don't feel too sad for them; their d8ths were swift.

SRIKOS: D --> Nothing could survive a fusion of two planets for more than a few seconds.

Crying... when was the last time you did that? It's been sweeps at the very least. An emotional response to certain stimuli including and not limited to scraped knees, bruised elbows, cut onions, knowing that your beloved doesn't feel the same, frustration over inability to complete simple tasks, contemplation of possible post-death existence, the knowledge that your friends would be better off without you, excessive stress, uncontrollable laughter, broken limbs and so on.

There's no need for such primitive things. You deserve to suffer in silence. Why give in and reveal such an vulnerable state? You'll only get hurt again. Cold logic has served you well ever since that long ago day.

As long as you don't feel a thing...

...

You have guests to attend to.

Hate? How can you hate Ervinn? Sure he's awkward and a little unaware when he's struck a chord, but that's nothing to get upset about. He's a good person who needs someone to encourage the better sides of him. Could that person be-

ERVINN: cOME ON CON AFTER ALL THE FUSS BOUT GOIN IN THE KITCHEN YOURE JUST GONNA STAND THERE,

ERVINN: mAYBE YOURE HUNGRY TOO,

ERVINN: fUCK WWHAT DO YOU LIKE,

ERVINN: i CAN MAKE AN OMELETTE OR PANCAKES,

ERVINN: jUST TELL ME KAY,

You don't know how you feel about Ervinn... but his hand is a warm fit.
