And now for something completely different

[failgoyle]

Okay, so I've been spending a lot of time in Liminal since every time I go out, I get harassed by wind spirits...

...but I think I just lit upon something really awesome while hiding in the Workshop!

[What follows next is a musical interlude played on computer parts.]

[failgoyle]

It's Guile's Theme, man, Guile's Theme! It goes with everything.

[helborn]

Guile... isn't he from some video game - wait, yeah! Street Fighter! I remember the movie!

[failgoyle]

The movie?! That is your frame of reference?!

[helborn]

Look, it's not like I had arcade money! Or a system of my own?

[Or friends to go and play with.]

[failgoyle]

But the movie's awful.

Dude, get over here, I've got an emulator and crap on one of the laptops.

[helborn]

I mean yeah it's awful, but it's fun awful. I mean I know guys who got bent out of shape over it, but I didn't really get into gaming.

... Where is here, exactly?

[failgoyle]

I'm in the Workshop. In Liminal.

I'm not coming out so I don't get harassed by wind elementals.

[helborn]

Oh. I can't exactly get back there...

[failgoyle]

You, uh, you can't do portals?

[helborn]

I'm pretty new here.

[happyhalloween]

I'm really good at portals and so is Papa! I bet we could help you get back!

[helborn]

Really? ... I could use a break. I mean I think all of us could, but...

[failgoyle]

Yeah, between the two of us, we could get you back here.

Where are you?

[helborn]

Delphi, but I can get to other places pretty quickly. I run fast.

[failgoyle]

If you can get back to Iolchis, I can probably grab you from there. That's the only place I know here--I didn't spend too much time outside.

[helborn]

I can get there, yeah. I shouldn't spend too long out of here though - too many people who need help.

[failgoyle]

I'm...um. Helping more by staying in here. Out of the way.

But I can definitely get you from there, yeah!

[helborn]

Okay. I should be there soon. I'll give you a... uh. Call? Thought?

... I'll grab you on the network once I'm there.

[failgoyle]

Sure, sure, do that! I'll get to a good spot!
