BARITONES

[you find yourself in this derelict village, with not a soul to be seen—but before you is this station wagon:

for all intents and purposes, this baby is a simple "honk, steer, pedal to go, brakes to stop" vehicle that anyone with opposable thumbs can drive. despite its age, it does have a handy GPS system that displays paths you can take, but fails to identify anything like landmarks or other worldly features. last but not least: its paint job is done in your unit's color!

The following can be found in the trunk/dashboard:
• Icepicks
• These 5 Bone Saws
• A surgical set
• A single miniature of 99 Bananas
• one large first aid kit containing nothing but bandages and bandaids]

[He helps him lie down in the back getting him as comfortable as possible. He pets him softly as well as he does.]

What a conundrum now? Not much of a game if neither will be able to drive.

[ it takes him a moment to ease up on the pressure he's giving to his jaw. ] It's a good thing I have four eyes. Losing two is of no consequence. [ it is, but it's fine(tm). ] I can still see. I can... still drive.

[ but the back seat ( and pentium himself ) sure are covered in a lot of black blood. ]

You will not for the moment. You will lie back here and recuperate until I am unable to drive.

... [ makes some sort of half growl because he wants to ARGUE, but he just kind of moves into the back seat and rests his head in between the two front ones. ]

[ :( ]

Fine.

[He kisses the top of his head.]

Don't worry. I'm sure you'll be watching over me in no time.

...curb the positivity. [ sarcasm. ]

[He laughs.]

Oh, even if I do not say it, it will be so. Much as I wish for it to not be the case.

[ scoots a little bit closer, so he can set his head in emet's lap. ] I know. It's just the nature of the game.

[He's getting pet with the side of his arm because hands are sore.]

What do you think of the Production, Pentium?

[ shrugs. ] I don't care for them... but I can't imagine most do. However, if they keep their word and help me, then that's all the incentive I need to keep dancing like a puppet on a string.

What about you?

For auditions it is rather easy. We come here with a goal in mind, a desire in our hearts.

Though for those without their memories, I can understand their desire and hatred for the place.

What is your wish?

I am not quite sure of what I need to wish for yet, but whatever takes me back to home, complete and whole, surrounded by those whom I love.

Have you though about what you and Five are going to do?

We have. But I have my own wish, Five's and Cosmo's as well. We were going to search for Elidibus, but now that he has arrived our plans have been altered.

So the plans have been put into place, but the order and naming of the wishes we will have to determine as they come.

How convenient. I'm glad that's one less thing to worry about. At least here you can look after him, though there may be some severe ups and downs.

I have to imagine they include your world and your god.

[He tilts his head.]

What do you mean?

Did something not happen to them?

Very few mention Lord Zodiark. You caught me by surprise.

If I struck a nerve I apologize.

[He 'pets' him softly.]

Not at all. Though now I do wonder. How much did I tell you?

I don't think I know much, if I'm being honest. [ shuts his good eyes. ] I think all I know of is his importance to you and yours.

He is our hopes and prayers made manifest. The will of the star.

[ smiles a bit at that, because the concept, itself, is really beautiful. ] How did those things manifest into him?

We rewrote the laws of nature. The cost was immeasurable, but in doing so we could give our star a will.
