KS: Bro! How've you been?
SS: =]=> Pretty good Kamina. Well, actually, that might be a lie.
SS: =]=> This adventure is fun as hell and saving the world is great but some pretty terrible stuff has gone down.
KS: Yeah, Sburb can be hell at times. You've just got to grit your teeth and keep fighting.
SS: =]=> I know, and so far I've dealt with it. But sometimes it feels like this thing is trying to break us, you know?
KS: Dirk, listen up. There's a reason you and your friends were chosen by Sburb.
SS: =]=> We were chosen?
KS: Yes. You guys have the potential to win this game, to earn the Ultimate Reward.
SS: =]=> Ultimate Reward, huh? Sounds pretty
SS: =]=> Well
SS: =]=> Ultimate, I guess.
SS: =]=> What is it?
KS: Well, if you win, it's your prize.
KS: I can't really tell you what it is; it's up to you to find out.
SS: =]=> I was afraid you'd say that. But, I'm not surprised.
SS: =]=> This game's big on making us do shit ourselves.
SS: =]=> But there sure are a lot of ways to cheat, come to think of it.
KS: Hell yeah there are!
KS: Kick rules to the curb and do the impossible! That's the way a man rolls.
SS: =]=> Damn straight, bro!
SS: =]=> So, with that out of the way I guess I guess I should get to the reason I came.
SS: =]=> To talk, that is.
KS: Yeah? What about?
SS: =]=> Well, I'm not really sure how much you know or see up here but I met up with my best friend Chas a couple hours back.
SS: =]=> And we've been adventuring around the land together.
KS: The guy dressed all in black?
SS: =]=> Yeah, that's him.
KS: Looked kind of crazy.
SS: =]=> Maybe. But I don't think this game lets you stay sane for too long, so I haven't been complaining.
KS: Can't deny that.
SS: =]=> So anyway I guess he's, for better or worse, our leader, and he's just gone off to gather the rest of the guys since they're kind of all behind us.
SS: =]=> But the truth is
SS: =]=> I'm not 100% sure he's ready for that.
KS: Well, if he isn't, then your team's going to suffer for it.
KS: I'm not his guide; I can't really tell what he's going to do.
SS: =]=> I was thinking about that.
SS: =]=> And, I think I have an idea, if it can work.
KS: Oh? What's that?
SS: =]=> Chas wants me to finish the quests in this world, and he'll flip out if he catches me elsewhere, so I've gotta stay here. But is there some way you can follow him?
KS: Follow him? No.
KS: But that reminds me... what level are you now?
SS: =]=> Shit, I've lost track.
KS: Hold on, I can figure it out.
KS: Yep, you're high enough!
SS: =]=> High enough for what?
KS: Here, take this pendant.
SS: =]=> Sweet, what does it do?
KS: You can use it to summon me, wherever you are.
KS: I'll be able to give you advice or back-up, if you need it.
SS: =]=> Wow, thanks bro, this'll come in handy. What other kinds of stuff do I get leveling up?
KS: Well, let's see here... have you found your Time Artifact yet?
KS: Probably acts kind of timey-wimey?
SS: =]=> I have, actually. It's this watch. I was gonna make it into a drill but the game wouldn't let me.
KS: What?!
SS: =]=> That's what I said!
KS: Wait, are you sure your soul is a drill?
KS: It kind of all depends on your soul.
SS: =]=> Well, I've never really seen my soul before, so I don't know. Maybe not?
KS: Well, I'm sure you'll figure that out eventually.
SS: =]=> I mean, I thought spinning just seemed a logical way to direct time travel. I mean, what else spins? A record? I hate records.
SS: =]=> True.
SS: =]=> So why were you asking about the artifact?
KS: Well, it sounds like you already figured it out, but you'll be able to travel through time with it.
KS: So, maybe you could get you from the future to come back and follow Chas around.
SS: =]=> Huh. Never thought of that. I really need to remember I can do that. Thanks for the advice!
KS: Don't mention it bro. It's what I'm here for.
KS: (Anything else you want to say?)
SS: =]=> Yep. One last question. Chas has been kind of suspicious-acting lately. Not dangerous suspicious but seems like he's hiding something.
SS: =]=> (Dirk's gonna start investigating the got tiger I guess)
SS: =]=> Is there anything that might give him some kind of edge over me I'm not aware of?
KS: Well, he might be aiming for the God Tier...
KS: But you guys are way too low to be worrying about that yet.
SS: =]=> Well say I'm just interested then. What's this God Tier thing?
KS: Well, you've been gaining levels right?
SS: =]=> Right.
KS: The God Tier is the level above levels.
SS: =]=> Huh, it seems so obvious now... I guess I'll ask future me more about it.
KS: Probably a good idea. I can't really tell you anything else about it.
SS: =]=> All right; thanks for everything Kamina, I'll call you soon with this thing. I should probably be going.
KS: Alright, good luck Dirk! Use the pendent if you need me.
SS: =]=> Will do, bro!
