Welcome to Islet 2! There are many reasons for you to be here right now. Maybe you live here. Maybe you're visiting someone who lives here. Maybe you've been invited to this sick party by one of the above idiots. Maybe you were just passing by and got dragged into the festivities. Who cares, really? You're here now!

Out in front of Cottage 1 there's the beautiful banner that you see above hanging on the outside, lovingly crafted by one of the twins. The twins have also lovingly crafted some vodka using magic and potatoes. Potato magic. And hey! There's also stuff that the twins cooked! Like potato tornadoes, fried shark genitals and Fantasy Kentucky Fried Pterax! And other food! And there's a fire! And activities! And drinking!

Mainly drinking. In fact, there is a large cooking pot that, at the moment, is full of the most moonshine-iest vodka you have ever had. There are empty halves of coconut shells to serve as cups, as well as some clay cups that may or may not have come from an interesting source. So help yourself! Who knows how long it'll last, considering the amount of guests. Heck! It might even be repurposed later, after all the vodka is gone! So drink up.

Anyway, feel free to join in on the festivities! There will be several threads for activities where people can mingle, or you can start your own. Have a party, chill out, and/or imbibe ill-advised substances to try and forget that you died. Wheeeee!

Uh, that was being trapped in an illusion spell.

[This is a little awkward.]

Honestly it's been a while since I've had any place I felt 'happy'. I got into adventuring with the goal of making the world a better place, and I honestly wouldn't feel right if I didn't do it, but most of what I've gotten sucked up into has been a desperate struggle to stay alive with very little progress made towards actually helping anyone. We've had fewer victories to our credit and much worse losses than I'm particularly proud of.

[souris_keteer]

[work with me here, roy.]

... When you go back, will you still try?

[greatcleavage]

If I don't, the world will end and it will literally be my fault, so you better believe I've got some fight left in me.

[souris_keteer]

That's good to hear!

[kinda. sorta. better than nothing.]

[greatcleavage]

It's naive, I think, to say that when this is all over I'll be happy. Who knows what could happen? I've lost friends and valuable things, I've made mistakes I'll have to live with, I'll still have a lot of work to do. And not having a quest hanging over me for years will be strange at best -- and it could end up with me not knowing what to do, and messing up because of that.

[Roy gives these things thought. A lot of thought, when he has the opportunity.]

But if we succeed, I'll have had a part in saving the world. Twice depending on how you count it. I'll have done a very good thing, and no one will ever be able to take that away from me. That much I know for certain.

[souris_keteer]

[Mickey nods, agreeing as best he can.]

And sometimes doing the right thing is its own reward. It sure helps me sleep better at night!

[greatcleavage]

There is that. [Roy smiles slightly.] It's not always so clear what's right, but sometimes it's perfectly obvious, and you take a course like there are no other options at all.

[souris_keteer]

To me, there are no other options. It's do the right thing... and that's it.

[Which will probably lead to him getting killed some day, but, eh.]

[greatcleavage]

There are always technically other options. The question is whether or not you can consider them.

[souris_keteer]

Nope. Not even for a second.

[greatcleavage]

[Roy chuckles a little.] Honestly, it's okay to consider them, because sometimes considering them is the best way to remind yourself of what matters. I mean, as tempting as it is to just give up and go my own way here, thinking about that reminds me that I'd regret that if something happened I could've prevented.

[souris_keteer]

[Mickey really can't conceive considering, but he does nod along.]

... Thinking of my friends keeps me going too. I'd hate for them to arrive only for them to wind up disappointed in me.

[greatcleavage]

Well, sometimes disappointment happens. You can't always be perfect. [There's a life lesson he's lived and learned rather viciously...]

[souris_keteer]

Oh sure, I think everyone knows that. I don't think "perfect" even exists.

[... except in case of a special lady buuut let's hold that thought.]

[greatcleavage]

It does, but purely in the abstract. That doesn't affect people's perceptions, though...
