Celeste's shoulders slumped, palm rising to rub face.
"People and their diurnal schedules. Fine, fine. We can wait a few hours. If I'm still here anyways..." He muttered that last bit defeatedly, "...yeah I'll probably be here."
He turned away, but then quickly turned back. "Also, if that," he said indicating to the small turtle creature, "eats the same things we do, you can help yourselves to a muffin if you wish." He directed attention over to a button on a shelf with a "Muffin Button" sign hanging over it.

Bowser Jr repeatedly presses the muffin button as a s*** ton of muffins appear. Bowser Jr then proceeds to eat all the muffins. Bowser Jr liked the muffins and is satisfied with the minion of Joshie.
"My dad could use a useful minion like you," Bowser Jr said to Celeste

While Lana was trying to get a hold of Charlie, Charlie managed to get free of Lana's grip as he ran off.
"How does Aylssa manage to keep control of you?" Lana sighed chasing after Chalrie.
Charlie eventually reached his destination as he happened to be in front of two kids.
Lana went after Charlie when she saw a couple of kids, a yound lady, and a masked guy who looked familiar. Lana was about to get Charlie when she saw noticed the kids looked familiar.
"Hold on you two kids look familiar," Lana said. "Wait a moment you wouldn't happen to be Leo and Aris would you, the two kids that were in my room last night," Lana asked. "If you are then is everything okay, does my mom... I mean Queen Glinda lnow you are out in town with some stranger," Lana said kinda of panicly.
Lana then turned her gaze towards the masked guy. "Ohh i hate to be in your shoes, because these kids are very special guests of the kingdom," Lana told the guy. "There dad happens to be a very powerful outlander and if he catchs you boy I hate to see what he would do to you," Lana said to the masked guy.
"Well what do you have to say for yourself you kidnapper you?" Lana said with her hands on her hip (giving the Sonic I'm waiting pose).

Nobunaga blinked, merely staring at the young Princess in stunned disbelief. Leo burst out laughing, but Aris had the good sense to realize the gravity of the situation. Her face blanched, turning white as a ghost.
Finally, after several moments of intense silence, Nobunaga's disbelief turned to rage. The air around the group grew dense and heavy, even oppressive, and all light in the side street seemed to bleed away, dimming considerably. Street lamps flickered in a futile bid to stay alight, then flickered out. The temperature suddenly dropped a few degrees, becoming noticeably colder.
"I am that Outlander," Nobunaga says, his voice deadly quiet. "And that was supposed to be a secret only people I approve of were allowed to know. The Queen gave me her word. So tell me Princess, how do you know and why were my children in your room?"
His eyes darkened and the air grew even colder, and when he spoke, his voice held the authority of a King or Emperor, someone who was quite familiar with being obeyed. "And have you told anyone else? Speak."
Leo abruptly stopped laughing and blanched like his sister.

I mean he gets an A for effort, unfortunately for him I met the the true face of evil thougt," Lana thought. "The form it takes is a little old devil by the name of Geraldine," Lana shuttered. "I rather face an army of Ephilus troops with a stick then ever face off against an angry Geraldine," Lana said. "But yeah I can see why some of the more jumpy Outlanders moght fear this," Lana thought. "Yet, just wait if they ever have to face an Angry Glinds, Cia, or worse an angry Geraldine, now thats a real scene of fear," Lana shuttered.
Lana was staring at the Outlander for a few moments unsure of how she resond. Lana merely just blinked at him for a few seconds and then finally just smiled at him.
"I can see why you have quite the reputation with the others," Lana said. "Yet if you think I am in fear for my life now, then you should have seen me last bight," Lana said. "Well since you asked so nicely, no nobody but me Josh, mom, and Josh's familiars know," Lana said. "Anyways, I was wondering the halls having missed the meeting with the other Outlanders," Lana said. "You see I kinda of was responsible for bringing a few Outlanders to the palace myself, you probably met them, Aylssa and her partner Charlie, the very friendly lady with pink hair and a tail, Catie was it, and umm well you probably met him the loudmouth turtle king Bowser and his son," Lana said.
"Well I was hoping the Queen didn't find out about that, but well when I saw mom with Charlie, Joshua, and your kids I knew I was done for," Lana said. "I was just sitting on a chair gazing into the sky ready to accept my fatr," Lana said. "I heard how Aris over there was highly upset because she was extremely worried about her mom, you, and everyone else fighting our eneimes," Lana said.
"But yeah Mr. Outlander I promise not to tell anyone about the cutties over there," Lana said.

Three.
Two.
One.
Here in Darkmoor Isle, this is where it begins.
The crowd is gathered, all who matter now lie within.
The bell doth knell for some fell wind
To blow back the curtain on another kin.
On the plains, a short distance away from the station
of players betrayed by their different location,
though no less attuned to corrupt violation,
a sight even rarer popped up into view.
A gopher (familiar to few) started running anew
to pursue what’s assumed to be doom:
A murderous horror of metal and blood.
And all with the aura of “What’s shaking bud?”
In the crease, the one named Maurice
sought to sheath all the bestial anger released.
All those palms that he greased and these vocal
and choke-hold evoke-emon weren’t deceased!
So he turned to the persons he didn’t want burned.
“A cycle?” He said, “We’re on similar terms.”
“Chosen,” he followed. “Creators,” he added.
“You are speaking my language.” His interest abetted.
And carrying on “There’s no doubt in my mind
We were brought here for si-”cutting off there to find
The snake Giratina now silent, not knowingly violent
With wild pent up virulence, oddly compliant
With mention of other “Creators”, the source of its hate
Ordinarily. Benched was the snake indicating
The wake of one namesake creator betraying his drapes.
The gopher collapsed as a spectre arose.
The metal man finding no interest in those
That display no emotion ignored locomotion
Of thin golden parasites finding promotion.
This bundle of Straw, found a new metal host
(since a gopher is no host to boast of to most),
But the mettle of metal left no mind to settle in
Letting the Staw get reset having bet “All in”.
But some odd reaction of new happenstance
Formed a cocktail of imminent psychic parlance.
For the Tin Soldier’s next echoed shriek
Met the Straw’s mental peak
In some freaky unique mind translation technique
with a BANG, and it rang and the message sang on
To let everyone here know that
IT’S VILLAIN-CON
To the patients of expatriation here stationed
this information comes with the asphyxiation
of participation from non-narration relations,
be it manifestation, mouse, or god of creation.
Before Pixy could pick out a piece of “Pika Pika”,
Or Legretta could get out a better letter to speak of,
A debacle of thoughts rocked the noggin of Fawful
And quarreled with Chortle’s gourd something awful.
Fen-fen couldn’t prevent mental shackles,
With Jeckle now heckled ‘cuz he could do heck-all.
It hit Giratina like a nuke from Celena
And assuredly Dimentio’s ride wasn’t cleaner.
Like everyone else, Maurice was imprisoned
by the instant incision of this exposition:
They were sent time-skip tripping down memory lane:
How the Wordsmith’s quick ripping of reality came
With the blame of abominations untamed
that ravaged their terrapin deity’s frame.
The Straw, the Tin Soldier, the Lionheart too
The Witch and her cohorts and what she could do.
All of these remnants: ancestral remains
That echo right into the present refrain.
The beings that made this hell still have descendants
In Ephesian and Yuleian lords and attendants.
And still they crave power, to this very hour
They scour and build whole new ways to devour
Themselves and each other at war without end
in a trend that no victory could ever transcend.
There’s no understanding, not one single case,
That there is no such thing as a winner in an arms race!
Ephesus makes weapons of a genocidal direction
As if that could give them some kind of protection.
A showing of force, no matter how thorough
Is naught but a challenge to those of tomorrow.
And Yuleia digs into magic forbidden,
The same kind of power that left Oz bed-ridden.
They’ve brought god-knows-what from god-knows-where-they’ve-been
And that is how you arrived. That’s where you lot come in:
You are all masterful agents of change
From the standard arrangement.
Your dastardly actions derange
Populations, estranging
their havens and claiming
damnation to my admiration!
So as Oz stands now, it won’t do just to end it.
Not when there’s those who would try to defend it.
You can do what you will in this land up for taking
This universe needs a good spirit-breaking.
You’ll return to your worlds after this world is done.
You may leave now. But you wont. This one is more fun.
Time never actually stopped but it resumed. A pounding in Maurice's head drove him to a wincing silence. The imminent mental intrusion wasn't painful, but Giratina's following outburst was utterly deafening. Fortunately (or possibly unfortunately), the Red Chain's translation filters still worked at least partially.
OH TRUCK YOU! WHAT THE SHUCK WAS THAT?? WHAT THE DUCKING! LUCK! WAS! THAT?! Could you be any more SHMUCKING CONDE-CLUCK-ESCENDING? MUCK YOUR PLUCKING RHYMES and SHOVE THEM UP YOUR SUCKING GLASS!
Maurice groaned audibly, or at least, audibly to others since Giratina's tirade drowned his own voice out of his thoughts. Fun? Really?

Sophie a young lady with wing which are white as the purest snow, her long silver hair is cascading down her head. Her skin is pale and they are coompletented by her lavendar eyes. She is walking the streets with her best friend turn lover Ann. Ann has long flowing red hair she wears in a ponytail, her skin is also pale, and she has beautiful blue eyes.
"So excited to see everybody?" Sophie asked.
"Yeah ever since things have quited down things have gotten boring," Ann said.
"But business has been steady right?" Sophie asked.
"Meh, I guess," Ann said.
"Wow an Anna complaing about business being steady, well now I saw everything," Sophie said.
"I miss them Sophie," Ann said.
"Yeah I know how you feel, I miss the Mushroom Kingdom and all the friends we made over there," Sophie said.
"I miss Mama Rosalina," Ann said.
"Wow you still call her that?" Sophie said while Ann just winked at her. "Thats why I cant wait to make it to our destination," Sophie said.
"Yeah May dropped by with Chip and they said Chips friends the Pichu Band were throwing a concert for everyone," Ann said. "She has calmed down quite a bit ever since our travles with her," Ann said.
"Yet at least she still has that charm about her, and that friendliness about her," Sophie said.
"Hey Sophie look, its the Gate that started our adventure so long ago," Ann said.
"Yeah what do you say, wanna walk by it for all time sake," Sophie said.
"Umm okay but lets not take too long wouldnt want to keep Mama Rosalina waiting," Ann said as her and Sophie went by the Outrealm Gate.
Sophie and Ann were walking by the gate just reminecing about there many adventures they had. When all of a sudden a bright light came from the Gate. Before Sophie or Ann could react the light swallowed both of them and dragged them into the gate.

"Pixy my head I can't the strain," Fen Fen said as she clutchded her head. The blue light around the surf board keeping Fen Fen and Pixy afloat began to gradually fade. "Pixy I am sorry but I just can't any," Fen Fen said as the light faded and Fen Fen fainted.
Before Fawful or Chlortles could react the surf board began to crash towards the ground below.
"Not Pika not Pika at all," Pixy said as she began falling. "I wish Fen Fen was feeling better," Pixy said as she closed her eyes and began Pikaing. The star rod around Pixys waste began to radiate an intense light almost as if it was responding to Pixys wish. A dim yellow light began to surround Fen Fen as she began to move.
Before the surfboard and Pixy could crash onto the ground below Fen Fen opened her eyes and an intense blue light surrounded the two pokemon and Fen Fen lifted into the air again.
"Fen Fen, but you were just what ib the Pika," Pixy told Fen Fen.
"Its very strange indeed I was just fainted and passed out from eveything," Fen Fen said. "Yet now it feels like nothing ever happened a to me, in fact I feel like I am better then perfect," Fen Fen told Pixy.
"Wait this rod is the star rod," Pixy said I wonder. Pixy pulled out a small device and went on Pikapedia (Pixys personal database it even has a cute little picture of Pixy when ypu first log in) she then takes out a look at the Star Rod in her pocket.
Few moments later.....
"Pika no Pika way its that star rod," Pixy said in disbelief. "Pika said as she got Fawfuls attention. "This star rod is the same one used by the star spirits of the Pika Pika to grant wishes," Pika told Fawful very excited. "That's why Fen Fen is as good as new the Star Rod granted my wish to make her Pika again," Pixy said while nodding her head.
"Oh praise be to the fury, now we can spread Chlortles far and wide," Fawful said.
Chlortles lets out a Gggggggeeennnngggaaaaarrrrrr in satisfaction upon hearing the news.
"La lio la lio, all hail the dragon of fury coming to spread its gift along the land," Fawful song while him and Chlortles danced in a circle. "La lio la lio the dragon of Chlortles rises," Fawful sang.
"Pika Pika," Pixy face palmed.
"Delohox," Fen Fen face palmed.
"So it turns out theres another little gift from the heavens," Dimento thought.

After her savior Lana departs, Alice returned to her duties cleaning, careful to avoid stirring up any trouble or touching any more of the Outlanders' crazy gear. After a few minutes, she feels the room grow cold. "Hello, dear," a voice whispers into her ear.
"Eep!" Alice whirls around to find Geraldine standing innocently behind her, wearing a grin from ear to ear.
"Forgetting the Queen's chair. Inexcusable." She looks off into the distance with a nostalgic smile and a soft sigh. "Ah, when I was a young lass, we used to have a special chair for just such an occasion. Not for the king or queen, of course. I wonder if we may still have it in storage somewhere...?"
"I hope not..." Alice mutters.
"I wonder if the Queen would object to letting me take it as an office decoration... Anyway. As punishment, you're going to clean every chair, couch, and throne in the castle. Anywhere Her Royal Hindquarters may touch. I will be inspecting them all tomorrow morning. I suggest you hurry and start, because if I find so much as a speck of dust..."
"Y-yes ma'am!" Alice answers. She heads out to start immediately.
"And don't forget the benches in the dining hall!" Geraldine calls after her.

Marth continues standing in the stable. Annoyed that his master hasn't visited him yet. This place is awful. The stable hands took forever to figure out how to get his armor off. And so touchy. This hay's not great. Better than that Valerian swill. But nowhere near as good as sweet, sweet Carcinan gold. And the water's weird, too. At least there's plenty of treats to go around. And all the salt licks he could want.
But a lot of the other horses here are weird. They smell different. And their legs bend wrong. And their fur's hard and yellow. And they keep sticking their tongues out. So rude.

After a very long and very tense minute, Nobunaga took a deep breath. The temperature in the alley abruptly returned to normal and the lights resumed functioning normally.
... What am I doing? Threatening a child? What has happened to me?
Nobunaga hesitated only for the briefest of moments before he reached up and removed his mask, revealing a very handsome, but otherwise perfectly normal human face. His eyes- usually a dark red- were now a brilliant dark blue, like a starry night sky. He gave a small, formal bow. His daughter gasped softly.
"Forgive my rude behavior, Princess. I have not been myself recently. Worry for my children's safety has consumed me. I thank you for giving me your word, Princess, but I ask that you remember it well. My children must not be made public until the proper time, or it could put them in serious danger. Do you understand, Princess? I am nearly invincible in battle. Very few would be foolish enough to confront me head on. But if something were to happen to my children... I would be crippled. I have come to trust your mother- however, her Generals and Advisors are a different story. If people learn of my children, I will be forced to leave Yuelia and I will not be able to continue helping your mother. So I ask that you remember your promise and never tell anyone what you know- anyone."

Of Madness and Ice(Esdeath's theme)Project Alpha HQ, deep beneath Ephesian territory"Colonel Camus, s-sir! Sir, your orders! Sir!!! The Weapon is out of control! If we don't do something, the energy output will be enough to level all of Ephesus!!!" Lieutenant Colonel Camus Vasren bit down hard on his bottom lip. His knuckles gripped the railing so tightly his flesh blanched, turning his Sun-worn tan skin a shade lighter. A drop of blood trickled from his mouth. "Sir, your orders!" The Ephesian Captain repeated, looking frantically back and forth between his CO and the chained 'Weapon' in the magnetically sealed prison cell below them. The airtight, thick ultra resistant dome-like wall surrounding the Weapon's cell rattled and shook like a rickety old ship caught in a storm- this same wall that could withstand a direct hit from the magic of the Emperor himself. Tendrils of dark, ominous green energy whipped back and forth from the Weapon's body, causing pulsing waves of unseen force to ripple through the building, affecting all and any in its path in a myriad of horrific ways. Cracks snaked through the ceiling above their heads, and dust cascaded down upon their heads like a promise of what was soon to come. Soldiers fell to their knees screaming in agony as they were buffeted by earsplitting noises only they could hear. One of the Sergeants at the control panel abruptly screamed as he was enveloped in an eery emerald light. His screams intensified and turned frantic as he begged someone- anyone- to help him. The light cleared, revealing the soldier writhing in agony on the cold hard floor, smoking empty sockets in his skull where his eyes used to be. He screamed one final time before he stopped moving altogether. "Sir! Sir, please!" Camus clutched desperately at the pendant around his neck. No one would help them. They had committed an unforgivable sin. They had torn God from heaven, they had chained God in physical form, betrayed Her for all She had done for them, and now She was waking. Now they would pay for their sins. "Shut down the project, we must-" "Oh Camus, my dear, surely you wouldn't do anything so drastic." The Colonel blanched at a familiar, soft, deceptively gentle voice he knew all too well- a voice he both feared and loved above all others. Pale white arms snaked around his waist as he felt a feminine frame press against his back. He looked down at the arms around him- so frail, so fair, so deceptive... Those arms could hold a man in the most heavenly embrace or crush the life out of another on a whim. His CO and not-so-secret lover turned him to face her, then leaned up on her tiptoes to kiss him. Like her arms, her kiss was so deceptively gentle... But it belied a terrifying power, a power that none could resist- not even God. General Esdeath, First Princess of the Empire, High Justice of the Imperial Court, and sole heir to the Imperial Throne, stepped back out of her favorite soldier's arms and gave him a reassuring smile. She was dressed in her full military regalia, decorated with more awards and ribbons than most officers would ever see in their lifetime. A dark gray beret sat atop her head like a crown, and her long icy blue hair trailed behind her like a waterfall of silk, a mantle of her unrivaled beauty. She kissed the Colonel one last time to secure his obedience, then looked past him at the young Captain, who was currently kneeling on the floor with his head on his hands- as was every other soul in the room. Well, save for the Colonel. But he would have plenty of time to kneel before her in private later. And maybe if he was lucky, she would return the favor. "Belay that order, Captain. I will see to our lovely... Guest myself. She will be quite tame once I am finished, I assure you. Colonel, I do not enjoy being watched while I work... Be a dear and evacuate the base for me, will you?" The Colonel immediately stiffened to attention and bowed. "Yes, ma'am! As you command! You heard the General, men! Issue a full scale evacuation! Assist the wounded, leave the deceased! We will return for the fallen after the General has secured the area!" Esdeath smiled and licked her lips as she started walking down towards the maximum security cell. You sensed them, didn't you my pet? Someone you love dearly, beyond all else, beyond all reason, beyond all logic... How I envy you. To feel such raw emotion again... I would massacre the world for but a taste. But I am afraid your reunion will have to wait.Esdeath calmly brushed past the tide of fleeing soldiers. Space and Time itself began to distort and bend as she neared the cell. As everyone else ran for their lives in the face of such awe inspiring power, she alone gleefully strode in the opposite direction, completely unaffected by the waves of unlimited impossibility rolling past her. Oh, the things she saw, the images she glimpsed in those waves, how they made her heart race! "She whom happily embraces abandon will never fear the abyss. Isn't that right, my beautiful little pet?" Esdeath strode into the heart of the maelstrom and embraced the chained Green Dragon. She tenderly brushed her pet's beautiful silky hair away from her face, and then she kissed her. And then she kissed her.

(Wait there was a post in Oz ahhh wark wark)
Lana
"Wow I certainly wasn't expecting that?," Lana thought in amazement. "Maybe he's not so bad after all ehhh at least he was nice enough to apologize," Lana thought.
"That's fine Mr..... umm Mr. Leo and Aris dad," Lana said in a more gentler manner. "I was just surprised to see them out and about but well at least they are safe," Lana told Aris and Leo's dad. "Anyways yeah don't worry I wouldn't tell anyone about your kids," Lana said. "I know how mom would be if anything were to happen to me," Lana told him."I couldn't bare to see anything happen to them," Lana said.
"Oh maybe they can meet with Bowser Jr. when things settle down they look to be about the same age," Lana suggested. "Who knows maybe they would like to hang around other kids?" Lana asked innocently. Don't worry though I will only ask if its okay with you otherwise only me, you, Mom and Josh know about the kids.
"By the way would you know of any of the other outlanders," Lana asked. "I have a few out in the town with me," Lana asked. "A couple of the nicer ones Mario, Alyssa, and Baron, his pet cat Sam and wife Catie are at a gun shooting range," Lana said.
(Ha have fun with that mental image Vinny Catie weilding a sniper rifle.)
"Oh and theres the loud mouth Turtle King Bowser so yeah maybe you can meet them later," Lana said.
"Oh and before I forget you ever need to know about anything about Oz feel free to ask, if having a very overprotective mom has any advantages I had a chance to read alot about the history of Oz," Lana offered.

Hugh sealed up the pouch full of money after going over them.
"The tax rates in this place makes Nova's look good by comparison," Hugh grumbled.
Following the tussle at the bar, he and Emma purchased a change of clothes and rented a room (with two beds) at an inn to stay in. Emma got herself a blue V-neck shirt, along with a pair black leggings, and devin shorts for casual clothes and some jeans for when she wants to wear the Expansion Suit underneath. Hugh just got a plain white shirt and shorts; he was going to be wearing his armor the majority of the time anyway, as it would be cumbersome to carry with them otherwise.
On the other side of the room, Emma released Mimi out of her Pokeball and knelt down to the creature's level.
"It's safe now, Mimi!" Emma declared. The Espurr cheered at her and allowed herself to be scooped up and cuddled. "I know you don't like being in a stuffy little ball, but it's not safe for a cute little thing like you around here."
Hugh drew out a map of the region out of their bag of purchases and laid it over his bed. Emma walked over to join him in looking it over.
"Okay, let's review," he said. "We're in Ephesus, they're at war with Yuleia -- and we get yelled at for questioning the emperor if we ask why -- there are monsters terrorizing the world -- except Ephesus, apparently -- and that tree with the dragon is the world tree."
"It's like we fell into a fairy tale," commented Emma.
"And we're... here, to the Southeast, so that means that cave that sorcerer lived in was somewhere around here." Hugh pointed to a small pair of hills next to a mountain range that dwarfed it. "We went opposite Kyurem's direction, so that means he's probably off in the mountains somewhere. So at least we know where we are and learned more about this place, but..."
"Getting out will be more complicated?" Emma said, tracing a dotted line on the map.
Hugh nodded. "Yeah. There's a big wall there." He crossed his arms and scowled. Supposedly, it's to keep the monsters out. Currently, he felt like they're the ones boxed in. "I can't think of any good excuses for them to let us just walk on by with or without disguises, we don't know if we'd be able to force or sneak our way through, and considering the Pokemon we have with us, there's not a whole lot of transportation options we have to work with."
"What about the mountain range?" Emma suggested. "Doesn't look like the walls extend past there. Maybe Kyurem had the right idea after all?"
"That's what I was thinking," Hugh said. "I'd expect a watch or checkpoint through there, though; there's no way a blind spot like that would go unnoticed."
"If only we could dig underneath the stupid thing," Emma said. "Makes you wish Zygarde were here, huh?"
"Makes me wish I was back home."
Emma opened her mouth to try to make a counter comment, but couldn't really think of anything to say about it. "Yeah..."
Their discussion was interrupted as a violent tremor began shaking the building. Emma almost fell over from loss of balance.
"Ack!"
"An Earthquake?!" exclaimed Emma.
"Hugh sprang up. "Suit up! It's safer that way!"
General Alvis took the wireless phone line to Engle from an aide.
"This is Alvis."
"General!" The robotic voice said. The lack of monitor to look at left the professor's current mood a mystery. "We picked up some seismic activity coming from Ephesus! I bet even Sterling or Viola must've felt it!"
"From the other side of the world?" Alvis brought his fingers to his chin in thought. "...Have your radars detected anything regarding The Witch?"
"Nothing yet, sir," Engle replied. "The Witch hasn't been picked up on radar in a while, and the other Abominations haven't done anything particularly noteworthy -- not in our lands, at least."
"...Continue observing your sensors and provide me with updates," Alvis said. "I will contact Sterling and the Angelos to inquire if they've seen anything unusual."
"Yes sir!"
Alvis handed the phone back and turned to go message the commanders he spoke of.
"...Just what are they doing behind those walls?" Alvis mumbled to himself.
After what felt like hours, the quakes finally subsided. The fully equipped Hugh and Emma stood in their room, bracing to have the building collapse on top of them.
Hugh uneasily stood up straight after a minute of relative calm. "... I think that's it."
The two of them removed their helmets and sighed as they heard from outside their window people yelling at others about people requiring aid, asking if others are okay, or something about a collapsed building.
"You okay?" Hugh asked.
Emma's hands trembled as she set her helmet down on her bed. "Y-Yeah... First Earthquake." She gazed over the window, covered in a thick, white curtain, listening to the commotion outside. "...Think we should... Go out and help?"
"Part of me wants to," Hugh admitted. "...But it's better that we don't draw attention to ourselves."
"I... Yeah... You're probably right... You don't think that quake was because of Zygarde, do you?"
"I hope not," Hugh said. "I'd sleep easier thinking it was a natural occurrence instead of... something else."

June breaths a sigh of relief. "I'm glad we were able to resolve this peacefully," she says. With a thin hint of reproach in her voice, she continues. "And that the commander of the Outlanders knows how to keep his temper in check. Especially when addressing the crown princess in the middle of the kingdom's capital. I'm sure you can emphasize with how Queen Glinda would feel if something happened to her daughter, correct?"

Location: Yulisiea Town Square
As the light retreaded Sophie and Anna appereaed in an ally right in the center of town.
"Stupid gate now we are going to miss the concert," Anna sighed. "I really wanted to see everyone too especially mama Rosalina," Anna moaned as she kiced a random piece of trash in the alley.
"Its fine Anna, but whatever happened I don't think we are in Kansas anymore Todo Ylisseal anymore," Sophie said to Anna. "If anything maybe we should look around, maybe someone can explain to us what is going on," Sopihe told while comforting Anna.
"Grumble Grumble really wanted to see the Pichu Band perform and see everyone," Anna grumbled.
"Relax wouldn't you, at least you look normal and you wouldn't stand out," Sophie sighed. "Me I am going to stick out like a sore thumb," Sophie said. "I mean wings aren't exactly something I can hide," Sophie said to Anna.
"Really are you forgetting the special thing I had my sisters whip up for you," Anna said nudging Sophie. Sophie looked at Anna like now is not the time for that. "No silly the newest Anna invention Vanishing Creme, all we have to do is sprinkle a little on your wings and poof they vanish," Anna told Sophie. "Just be careful someone can still feel the wings if they bump into you, and the creme will wash off if your wings get wet," Anna told Sophie.
"You Annas never cease to amaze me," Sophie told Anna.
"Well duh its our job to make sure we are always on top of the newest trends, now come over here," Anna told Sophie. "Now all I have to do is apply a little to your wings and vala see no more wings," Anna said handing Sophie a mirrior.
"Its weird I can still feel them but there is nothing there," Sophie said while she was just staring at where her wings were.
"Another satisfied customer," Anna said very smugly. "So lets see how much thats going to be?" Anna said as she opened her little notebook she carries with her.
"Really, Anna your going to charge the women your married to," Sophie sighed.
"Anna got me, hun you'll understand one day," Anna said jotting down a note.
"I wonder about you sometimes, how did I ever fall for you in the first place," Sophie sighed.
"Well because...... hey wait up," Anna said chasing after Sophie who left while Anna was in the middle of thinking of her response.

INTERMISSION
"...I suppose I should just get this over with," Glinda told herself.
Having been led back onstage by Anna with nothing but a towel wrapped tightly around her to cover herself, Glinda stood before her own bathtub transported with her; a thin length of chain installed while she was backstage. Her stomach churned at the thought of what was going to happen, but she needed to return to her country as soon as possible, and so considered it a necessary act. She was not at all oblivious to the hint of irony of her situation.
"Alright, your highness," Anna beamed to her side. She was wearing a two-piece bikini, making it obvious what she was going to be doing when the show began. "You ready to do this?"
"As long as I have your word that you leak none of this to Ephesian intelligence," Glinda replied.
Anna blinked. "...I think you're radically overestimating the kinds of questions we ask." She raised her hands, showing Glinda two items pulled from Hammerspace: A shot glass filled with a glowing blue truth serum, and a black leather collar. She gave the queen the shot glass, first. "Before the show, drink this. It's not anything dangerous or anything, I promise!"
Glinda took the shot glass and downed the liquid before she could even think about hesitating. It carried a peculiar taste, but it was far from the worst thing she has ever ingested in her lifetime; certainly not like some of the bitter medicinal tonics crafted in the necromancer refuge. Anna held up the collar next.
"And here's a little accessory for your neck," Anna chimed, her other hand recklessly tossing the empty glass behind her back in order to grab the chain installed by the side of the tub. "To make sure you're not going anywhere until we're done!"
Glinda looked at the clip at the end of the chain. "...That seems largely unnecessary", Glinda observed. "The chain would be as easy to remove as it would be to put it on the collar."
Anna shrugged. "True, but it helps fulfill some sexual fantasies, which means more views, which means more profits. I doubt you'd actually try to leave the tub anyway."
Glinda's left hand subconsciously pinched the lower end of her towel, which barely reached her inner thigh. She certainly wasn't going to try anything dumb while naked. "...Very well," she sighed.
Glinda allowed Anna to wrap the collar around her neck and secure the strap. It wasn't wrapped uncomfortably tight, but it was still a presence that would be difficult to ignore. Anna then stepped to Glinda's side and waved a hand to the bathtub. "Shall we?"
Anna grabbed Glinda's towel and pull it apart, leaving Glinda in the nude once again. The self-conscious queen slipped into the tub until the (slightly shallower) water reached just over her breasts. She covered herself by crossing one arm across her chest and bringing her other hand beneath her legs. Although her body welcomed her return to the water emulating a hot spring, her mind was anything but relaxed as Anna bent over, attached the bathtub chain to Glinda's collar, and received a packet of cue cards from a stagehand.
"We're on in five... Mind moving your legs a bit?"
Glinda watched as the curtains parted and the adoring crowd made their approval known. She scanned the crowd again now that she was more aware of her surroundings. She had attempted to ask how they managed to secure such a...multi-cultural crowd of people -- Human, Elvish, Abomination -- to no avail.
"Welcome, everyone!" Anna declared, sitting at the opposite side of Glinda. "You caught us on our bathtime, but no matter, let's get these questions rolling as we begin the first episode of the Mailbag of Legends!"
Glinda fidgeted as Anna read her first cue card. She did not like the sight of the cameras pointing into the tub and broadcasting into overhead monitors.
I know this is crazy, and I just met you, but you're HAWT. Will you be my waifu?
Glinda began having an idea of what Anna meant about overestimating the quality of the questions that would be asked, and was simultaneously relieved and worried about this fact.
Glinda: "Do you... use any form of quality control?"
Anna: "Barely. So what do you say? Would you take this anonymous stranger as your--"
Glinda: "In a word: no."
Anna: "What a heart breaker!"
Have you ever considered abdicating the throne?
Glinda: "Lana will become of age soon. Perhaps if the Outlanders' aid allowed us to quell the Ephesians and Abominations and stability is achieved, I will abdicate the throne to her when the time comes.
...Do your... Flying Money viewers mind me referring to them as Abominations?"
Anna: "Well we have another word for them here, but I'm sure they don't mind!"
Glinda: "Interesting..."
Which outlander can you trust the most? Which Outlander do you secretly not trust the most? Which Outlander do you wish would just go away?
Glinda: "At this time, I do not believe I know enough about each individual Outlander to possess such judgements, nor discuss preferences between them."
Anna: "Oh, fudge. I think that throws out quite a view questions. Jeeves!"
At her call, a butler-looking fellow appeared next to Anna in a puff of smoke, grabbed the deck of cue cards, plucked out a bunch of cards without looking at them, and then vanished in another puff of smoke to throw the questions that would result in redundant answers into the incinerator in the back.
Which of your military units would you be most frighted of should they be turned against you?
Glinda: "As an individual, General Alvis. As a division, the Angelos."
Also how can you trust Bowser to roam the castle wheb hes a turtle, dragon thing and has a history of kidnapping Princesses?
Glinda: "Before the ritual began, I was prepared to meet Outlanders of all potential forms and appearances. I was somewhat surprised at how many humans and humanoids were brought here compared to non-humans, even. Regardless, I was prepared not to judge others based on how they appeared. If Bowser would ever attempt to kidnap my daughter, however, I will go to great lengths to ensure that he will regret doing such a thing."
Why haven't your fired that horrible head maid of yours? She's evil!
Glinda: "I am well aware of the terrified murmurs among my staff regarding Geraldine. However, no evidence of actual wrongdoing on her part has ever been found or presented to me, and I am unwilling to do potentially unjustified action until then."
Which enemy do you believe poses the greatest threat currently?
Glinda: "The Witch."
Have you ever met the Dalish High King?
Glinda: "I have not had the pleasure of meeting him in person. All of our communications have been through relayed messages."
Are Dalish elves allowed to enlist in the Yuleian military?
Glinda: "Yes. Such applications are rare, but there is no policy against them, nor do I see cause to create and enforce one."
How would you react if Lana brought home a boyfriend?
Glinda: "Arrange a formal interview in private, and request a background check."
Are you familiar with the concept of the foodgasm? Has Pierre ever cooked anything that made you achieve that?
Glinda: "I... am unfamiliar with that term."
What are your policies on immigration, public health care, and gun control?
Anna: "Give us the abridged 'bullet points' version for time constraints, please!"
Glinda: "Foreigners are allowed to apply for Yuleian citizenship after five years of legal residence. Soldiers are insured for free and their families receive benefits, and both civilians and soldiers are compensated for injuries sustained from foreign causes, such as abomination attacks. Most weapons short of heavy explosive ordinance are allowed as long as they are registered in our databanks, but are liable to confiscation by officials when given due cause for--"
Anna: "Alright, that's enough."
What do you think Emperor Grievous's true motivations for the war with your country are?
Glinda: "I had initially believed that they wished to expand due to lack of resources, which would have been corroborated by observations of Ephesian territory. However, they had refused generous offers of negotiations made by my husband and I, have turned down suggestions of peace with us, and refused to ever provide a reason for their actions. For them to be so adamant to continue waging hostilities for this long, I fear that their motivations will be something we may never learn unless we cause them to surrender by force... Should their emperor not drag it to the grave, first."
If the legion revolted how would you counteract?
Glinda: "I firmly believe that it is not a matter of 'if', but 'when'. Regardless, Alexus is their leader, and his soldiers follow and revere him in his entirety. Should he fall, the Legion would surely crumble. Furthermore, we possess the technological advantage in Engle's howitzers, snipers to target their sergeants, and the power of the Angelos to match their best, while they would not possess the support of the people or any of my other military divisions. I would not fear them should they turn against us."
What is your favourite food?
Glinda: "Azuberry bread. My mother used to make them when I was younger. They gave me fond memories to look back to."
How often does Lana impact your royal decisions?
Glinda: "She rarely causes a direct influence on my decisions. However, I have based a number of decisions on whether they would make the world a better place for my daughter -- for anyone's future generation -- to live in."
What if Grievous had a secret weapon that could decimate the Abominations, with a 100% guaranteed success rate, but he needed the resources of your country to use it? Would you sacrifice your country for the greater good? Or rely on the unpredictable Outlanders, who could very well destroy OZ as easily as saving it?
Glinda: "That would be no excuse to refuse to negotiate for terms that would be beneficial to both of our countries and instead continue to cause more unnecessary bloodshed. I would not surrender my people to those who do not value peace."
Are you any good at cooking?
Glinda: "I can cook, although I consider myself average at best. Although perhaps Pierre is merely putting a high standard for others."
Do you prefer to wear your hair long or short?
Glinda: "Long."
Could your husband have been a male model?
Glinda: "W-Well... He was certainly built like one."
If all your clothes were stolen, would you rather cover yourself with whipped cream, honey, or chocolate sauce?
Glinda: "...If I were forced to pick one, then... whipped cream."
Select members of the audience gave approving whoops as the cameras panned over the queen from her legs to her shoulders -- pausing over where Glinda was vehemently covering herself -- to let the audience's minds go to work.
"That's something to keep in mind for next season!" chimed Anna. Glinda shuttered. "Anyway, it's time for a word from our sponsors!"
The curtains closed.

As the curtains rose, Glinda had turned around and had stretched out of the tub so that her head laid outside the tub, resting on top of her folded arms. Her chest pressed against the side of the tub as a camera naturally looked over her bare back and rear. Anna held a brush on her non-card hand.
"And we're back!" Anna said. "We're still not done, but I'm not going to let an interruption like this stop us from scrubbing each other's backs!"
Anna pulled Glinda's long hair to the side as she brought the brush up the queen's back. She had to admit it actually felt kind of nice.
Do you want more children?
Glinda: "It is far too late for that, but I am content with just one child. I recall Lana mentioning wanting a sister when she was younger, however."
How did you meet Cia and how did you two get so close?
Glinda: "I met Cia during the days when Vance first brought me to the palace. I confess that I was very reserved as I learned to grow comfortable with Yuleian life, but Cia was among the first of my friends here, and she remains a valuable ally to me. I will stop at nothing to make sure that will recover from her current condition."
Would you ever try making a double royale sandwich? That's two hot queens drenched in whipped cream and wrapped around a nice, thick piece of meat.
Glinda: "...Am I permitted to refuse to comment?"
Anna: "Well... You're a valuable trading partner, so I'll cut you some slack. Just this once."
Emperor Grievous suddenly calls off the war with your country and asks for your hand in marriage, to unite all of Oz against the Abominations. He even gives Yuelia a portion of his land and assigns General Galahad to be your personal bodyguard as a show of faith. What do you do?
Glinda: "Suspect a trap. Or perhaps demonic possession."
If it turned out Nobunaga was the God of Death in his home world, and that was the reason for his eerie supernatural powers, how would you react? Would you treat him the same? Or would you revere him, or even demonize him?
Glinda squinted her eyes suspiciously at Anna. The redhead shrugged as if to say "hey, don't look at me."
Glinda: "I would attempt to treat him the same... But will try to do everything in my power to advise that he take caution, as I possess doubts that my people would be so forgiving should they learn this."
The most embarrassing Lana story you can think of....
Glinda: "I have a number of baby pictures to tell stories about," she said wistfully. "However, I can not immediately think of the most embarrassing, nor do I care to disclose it."
What's your dream outfit?
Glinda: "I am satisfied with the clothes I already have. I have never particularly had dreams of wearing luxurious outfits of any sort; I am content with any modest thing."
Have you ever got the urge to ride a dragon Aeva style -- semi-colon close-parenthesis -- ????
Glinda: "...No?"
As a necromancer, did your husband ever ask you to raise any interesting bones?
Glinda suddenly turned and knelt upright, startling Anna as both the brush and the card she was holding were dropped into the water. Glinda forgot herself enough to forget to cover her chest for the briefest of seconds.
"What?! How did you know about... Who else knows about... What are--"
"Your highness, please get a hold of yourself!" Anna yelled, tossing the soggy cue card out of the tub. "No one here cares enough about that sort of thing. It's fine to talk about it!"
The front row members began nodding in agreement.
"But... but..."
"C'mon, deep breaths," Anna assured her. "Deep, calm breaths. Count to 20. Think of cute kittens. Whatever it is that eases you."
A few seconds passed as Glinda forced herself to take a few deep breaths. The audience certainly didn't mind seeing her chest heave.
"V-Very well. I will believe your words." Glinda took one last breath. "What... What was the question about?"
Anna looked over to the soggy lump a ways away from the tub. It probably isn't legible anymore, she reasoned, not wanting to leave the wonderful waters of the bathtub. "Forget about it. Just feel free to talk about your past from now on, kapeesh?"
"...Kapeesh."
Glinda turned back around to take the position she had previously taken. Anna retrieved her brush.
What's your favorite hobby?
Glinda: "...I used to do sketches of plants and landscapes. I believe I left my old sketchbook in the cabin in Dead Man's Walk when I left. I have not have had time to draw much after becoming queen, although I still like to view the artworks of others from time to time."
Why did you not ground Lana forever after in the middle of an invasion from the witch she runs into towns and sneaks some of the Outlanders into the safe house?
Glinda: "Lana was close with Cia. Given her reaction when I told her what happened, I could not find it in my heart to ground her. However, I will assign more guards to supervise her if the palace is attacked again."
What, if anything, do you miss most about Dead Man's Walk?
Glinda: "There were good people in the refuge. I do not have many regrets about leaving Dead Man's Walk, but I find myself worrying for their well-being."
What was your biggest concern when becoming a parent?
Glinda: "I did not -- and still do not -- wish to become anything like my father. I would not wish such an upbringing on anyone."
That dragon on the World Tree... If you had a chance to make him your ally and turn him against Ephesus, would you? Even if he proved to be unpredictable and endangered your people? What if his power was the key to ending the war with Ephesus and defeating the Abominations once and for all?
Glinda: "I would be willing to ally with him, provided he is negotiable. If he proved unstable and dangerous, however, then the extent of the partnership will be that he merely ceases to aid the Ephesians. If times become more desperate than they already are, then I will ask for direct aid, but I do not wish to endanger my people any more than I must."
Are you a good witch or a bad witch? How about in bed?
Glinda: "I try to be a 'good witch'."
Anna: "...And?"
Glinda: "...Vance gave no complaints."
Your reaction: Nobunaga unveils himself to be the most powerful Necromancer Oz has ever known, but he does so believing you would banish him and revile him, and he only reveals his true powers in order to save your daughter from an otherwise certain death.
Glinda: "If my people respond how I believe they would, I would give a public facade of condemning and exiling him, while attempting to negotiate safe passage and a home for him in Nightingdale or Zelphos, protecting his family from any vitriol directed their way. It would be regretful and I pray that it never comes to that, but this may be the best way."
You stumble upon Nobunaga coming out of the shower. He's absolutely gorgeous, his children are being babysitted by the Outlander Joshua and will be gone all day, and he doesn't mind you being there. What do you do?
Glinda: "Why Nobunaga?"
Anna: "He's the guy you interacted with the most, I guess."
Glinda: "He is married. With children."
Anna: "I'm not the one writing this stuff, why you asking me?"
Glinda: "...Very well. I would offer him clothes and distance myself from him if need be. Satisfied?"
Do you think you could ever fall in love and marry again?
Glinda: "No. Vance has been kinder than anyone else in my life to me. He allowed me to escape the refuge. He gave me strength, compassion, love, and instilled feelings within me I've never felt for another man before or since. He is irreplaceable within my heart. I feel that nothing will change that."
Anna: "Shot through the heart, and you're to blame."
Anna reached back, took a number of cue cards that happened to have a number of shipping-related questions, and flung them into the air. Jeeves materialized on one end of the stage with a bow and arrow. He shot the arrow, skewering all the cards Anna threw, and materialized at the other side of the stage to catch the arrow, before vanishing again to incinerate the cards.
Anna: "Probably didn't give love a bad name, though."
Your reaction: Nobunaga's real name is Vincent, and he's actually the alternate universe counterpart of your deceased husband, with the same soul.
Glinda: "That would not change anything. Even if the soul is the same, he would not possess the bonds we formed between us, nor any bond Vance has ever formed in his lifetime. His memories, his experiences, his personality, and even his appearance would be nothing like my husband. He and Vance would remain entirely different people in my eyes."
Keep Kiss Kill: Seren, Joshua, Cia.
Anna: "Oh poo, I missed one. Ignore it, your majesty. Jeeves!"
Glinda: "...My apologies, but who is Seren?"
Anna: "Don't worry 'bout it!"
Jeeves materialized and plucked the card from Anna before vanishing again.
How would you react to Nymphs crashing your castle? How do you think Vincent will react to seeing his aunts?
Glinda: "So is his name truly Vincent?"
Anna whistled innocently.
Glinda: "I have never seen a nymph before. The first thing I would do after introducing myself is to inquire whether their species require any special needs."
How do you reconcile your upbringing with the general attitude towards necromancy?
Glinda: "I have done much to distance myself from my upbringing. I intend to keep it that way."
Have you ever been called racial slurs for being a necromancer?
Glinda: "No. To my knowledge, the only person outside of the refuge who I know is aware of my upbringing was Vance."
Anna passed her brush over Glinda's back one last time.
"Break time for us, which means commercial time for you!" she declared to the audience. "We'll be right back!
As the curtains closed, Anna reluctantly brought herself out of the bathtub, grabbing a dry towel thrown to her by a stagehand.
"Almost done, your highness!" Anna said, putting a dry towel within arm's reach of Glinda. "I'll be right back to fetch a new outfit for you!" She made to skip away before halting. She got a juicy new idea. "By any chance, do you know how to belly-dance?"
"No," Glinda answered. She looked around. The cameras weren't broadcasting, but the thought of standing up to dry herself off was still undesirable to her.
"Awww. Oh well. We'll just find someone else for it."
Anna skipped backstage.

Once the curtains rose, Glinda swallowed in hesitation as Anna, now in standard wear, led Glinda onstage. Glinda now wore a violet silk brassiere that opened up in the front to reveal her cleavage, a similarly violet, semi-transparent silk armwear from her wrist to her elbow, similar pieces of legwear up to her knees, and a short, similarly colored veil around her waist that opened from the side to show her hips, with an undergarment that was almost flesh-colored. Glinda twirled barefoot onstage as per Anna's instruction to show the new outfit to an enthusiastic audience. Glinda found the attire more bearable than having nothing at all, but not by much.
Whatever it takes to return home.
Anna held Glinda's chain, now removed from the bathtub to carry in her hands, as she waved to the audience and Glinda seductively raised her hands behind her shoulders. "Welcome! We're just about wrapping things up here."
Anna led Glinda over to a leather chair in the middle of the stage. Anna plopped herself down while Glinda knelt down next to her and held her hands behind her back. She tried to ignore the audience's presence as she got the questions over with.
Emperor Grievous's most trusted and powerful General, the so-called Goddess of Ice, Esdeath, is rumored to be rallying Ephesus's most elite forces for an invasion of Yuelia that would make an absolute mockery of General Mason's 5,000 man army. Esdeath is said to be invincible in battle, an unrivaled strategist, wielding powers that could rival the Wordsmiths of old. If she personally leads the Empire's full might against Yuleia, do you think you could repel the attack? Even if they have new secret weapons you've never even heard of before?
Glinda: "Yes. I have faith in my army, as well as the Outlanders. In order to protect my people, I will never allow any forces that wish to do us harm do so unchallenged."
Anna: "Them's fightin' words! I for one, wouldn't want to mess with someone with 'death' in their name. What do you think their parents were thinking?"
If you could bring your husband back with no ramifications, would you?
Glinda: "...Yes."
Suppose Ephesus was subjugated and the Abominations were destroyed. What would be your first priorities to start peace time?
Glinda: "I would find some manner to ensure stability in both Yuleia and Ephesus, and potentially give aid to Nightingdale and Zelphos if needed. After that, I would eventually step down and allow Lana to lead. Of course, it would be difficult to truly predict the state of the world when the time comes, so the reality could possibly result in a different outcome."
If you had to break into a top-secret facility to steal a huge diamond, would you go with the classic skintight catsuit look, or something more practical?
Glinda: "I would use one of our stealth armors. They possess cloaking abilities."
Anna: "That's almost cheating."
When's the last time you got out for a night on the town?
Glinda: "Not for a few months, I believe. Not since I visited St. Elne's art museum."
What's your weapon of choice?
Glinda: "My preferences lie within magic, but I would arm myself with a sword."
What is it like having extra royalty around?
Glinda: "If you refer to the Outlanders, I am afraid that their status means little in our world. I hope to treat all of them well, however, despite the circumstances."
How long have you been an exhibitionist?
Glinda: "About 30 minutes, if I had to give an estimate..."
Anna: "Lives are on the line, believe it or not. Not mine, fortunately, but the ones who sign my checks. There's a reason to this madness. Really!"
Are you happy with your life?
Glinda: "No... But such sacrifices must be made."
Anna: "This next one is asking you to rank your generals. You ready?
Please rank your generals in order of loyalty to the crown
Glinda: "From most loyal to least, I would guess Leonard and Alvis as most loyal, most of the remainder in a similar wavelength, and Alexus as the most potentially disloyal."
...skill in combat
Glinda: "Alvis, Viola and Alexus as near equals, perhaps Leonard, followed by either Tanaka or Sterling, with Masujiro at the bottom."
Anna: "Ever think about replacing him?"
Glinda: "Tanaka vetoed it herself when I suggested such a thing."
...and sex appeal.
Glinda: "I... have never felt physically attracted to any of them."
Anna: "I should've figured... Well, might as well ask the audience what they think. Who do you love most, audience?!"
The audience yelled with cries for Sterling, Leonard, Viola, Tanaka, and Alvis. Glinda found slight amusement at the cries for Alvis, wondering how he would respond to such an opinion.
Anna: "I heard a lotta Sterling there. Let's leave it at Sterling and move on."
When you get back will you remember to punish Anna?
Glinda: "Will I even possess any memory of this when I return?"
Anna: "Nope! Sorry, show policy."
Glinda: "...It would be in your best interest that I don't."
Anna stood up, lightly pulling on Glinda's chain to pull her up. "Well there you have it: Episode 1 of Season 1 of the Number 1 Oz: Mailbag of Legends! Let's give one last Hoo-rah for her majesty before we send her off to enjoy her bath in actual peace. She's earn it!"
The curtains closed as the audience yelled goodbye at the queen. Glinda hated being exposed throughout the near-entirety of the program, but she found a strange comfort in the fact that she apparently had a number of fans... Though hopefully, the lustful element was overshadowed by other forms of approval.
END OF INTERMISSION

Nobunaga wasn't quite sure how to respond at first. Then he sighed. For the briefest of moments, he appeared utterly exhausted and soul-weary. Then he replaced his mask, and the Demon King returned once more to plague the living. However, this time, when he spoke, his voice was softer. And his eyes- once again a deep crimson- appeared almost... Human. Part of Vincent's facade was permanently lost in that nondescript back alley, though he wouldn't yet realize it for some time. Even the Omniscient had difficulty seeing through impenetrable clouds.
First, to Lady June, he quoted an old proverb from his homeland. "'Even the Gods are brought low when taught to see the naked truth through another's eyes'. It's a saying from my homeland, taught to remind us that clouded judgment and foolishness often walk hand-in-hand."
He turns back to the Princess. "I do know all the other Outlanders, yes- some of them even hail from my own world. However, it is not yet time for me to reveal either myself or my children. For now, my children will have to remain a secret. I thank you for your understanding, Princess. And while your offer intrigues me, I do not wish to be seen by the other Outlanders at this time, and your entourage must be scouring the city for you. I wish to spend this time with my children. But perhaps later, I will seek your mother's permission to formally study OZian history with you. I feel there is much I can teach you about my homeland as well."
He turns to look back towards Lady June. "Lady June, would you mind escorting the Princess back to the other Outlanders?"
