[whydoyoushine]

Oi, just a heads-up, if you see Kotei, he's not me anymore.

Some of the others got kind of suspicious, and they held an exorcism. Kind of a drag...

[There's no words, only snickering.]

[whydoyoushine]

What's so funny?

[naturaltwohands]

That it worked.

[whydoyoushine]

Eh, you try waking up in some kinda floor pod. Kind of sucks.

[naturaltwohands]

... Floor pod?

[Drizzt is more curious and slightly horrified than amused right now.]

[whydoyoushine]

I was in a space under the floor after I got kicked out of Kotei. Wasn't any problem to bust out, but that was still weird.

[naturaltwohands]

That is... odd. But I suppose we have had Travelers under the floor before now, too. Just not in... pods.

[whydoyoushine]

I dunno if that was the right word for it the more I think about it...but eh, I'm out. That's all that matters.

[naturaltwohands]

Welcome back, I suppose?

[whydoyoushine]

Thanks! Dunno what I'm going to do with myself, but I'm sure I'll think of something.

[naturaltwohands]

Enjoy Shinji's cooking, at the very least. Do you know the back story we have been using yet, or has no one explained it to you?

[whydoyoushine]

Yeah, I know it.

[Said flippantly enough that suggests he doesn't care.]

[naturaltwohands]

And do you care about it?

[whydoyoushine]

The rest of you guys can take care of that part, I think.

Besides, I look like Kotei--if I go out, I'm gonna attract attention. I gotta get a disguise first.

[Don't worry, he has ideas.]

[naturaltwohands]

[Drizzt chuckles a bit nervously.]

Just make sure the island is not a smoldering pile of ash by the end of the Jaunt, if you will?

[whydoyoushine]

Sure, sure, I can handle that.

[naturaltwohands]

Oh?

[Drizzt is teasing now.]

I will hold you to that.

[whydoyoushine]

Sure, sure, you do that.

[naturaltwohands]

[You can almost see him shaking his head.]

Take care, Zed.

[theflyingone]

They killed you?!

[ And the bit about being stuck in pods in the floor... He needs a moment. ]

[whydoyoushine]

No, they just drove me out.

I've died before; I'd know what that felt like.

[theflyingone]

The... in the floor... was it full of slime?

[whydoyoushine]

I don't know if you've been in Liminal lately, but there's goop everywhere.

[What is oobleck, and how do you make it go away?]

[theflyingone]

So I have heard. But I am talking about the... what you woke up in.

[whydoyoushine]

Nah, it was just...under the floor. I was fine until I busted out of the floor, as far as goo's concerned.
