[BUGBEAR]

[when you open your eyes, you find yourself in a pleasant greenhouse. the sweet scent of flowers surrounds you, and the sun shining through the glass ceiling invigorates you from within. there are stone benches on which you can sit, and if you're hungry, there's a garden table with some refreshing tea and scones available to you]

[the voice– the good voice– echoes in your head again]

YOUR DESIRES. . . CREATED THIS REALM. IT IS YOURS. . . IT IS NOT TYPHON'S! I CAN USE THOSE DESIRES TO GIVE YOU A SAFE PLACE. . . FROM WHICH TO FIGHT.

BUT I CANNOT DEFEAT HIM. . . ONLY YOU CAN. ONLY YOU– WITH YOUR OWN DESIRES!! YOU CAN. . . RESHAPE THIS WORLD. . . HOWEVER YOU'D LIKE!

[despite the safety of your greenhouse, you can feel the thrums of Typhon's emotions raging just outside your safety bubble. his voice is distant, but audible. . .]

All I wish for is to destroy this loneliness I have felt. . . would you not do the same? Would you not rend the heavens and earth in two for those you care for?!

[DO BONDS AND STUFF HERE]

[KAITO STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON]

He's putting us through this bullshit cuz he's lonely?? The hell man, just get friends! Or your own team!

Hell just look at us! We're a prime example!

Let's hear your prime example team feelings.

Whaddya mean? Just look at us! We're the best team here! Sidekicks or not, I'd probably be knocking at death's door without you guys.

We've got your back, like you've got ours, I know. I just wanna hear our beloved leaders inspiring friendship speech.

--well, if you say it like that, I guess I gotta.

[ahem. POSES.]

We're not just any crew of misfits come together, we are what MAKES Bugbear! Win or lose, we've stuck to our ideals, and supported each other despite our differences! In a normal world, who would think of a doctor, an astronaut, a hyena, a cop, a demon gunslinger, dragon, weird little stalker dude, and everyone else coming together to hang out?

But those differences also bring us closer! I wouldn't rather be on any team, and I'd die for you all over and over again if I had to! Because--I believe in you all! I'll put my life in your hands!

[he'd die for us over and over, he'd put his life in our hands......

Well. If this is truly coming to an end. He should probably confront Kaito about this, but with everyone else around it's not ideal--

Oh wait he's been silent for like 30 seconds oops respond to the speech you asked for.

Claps.]

I can't tell if you were stunned speechless or if I'm just out of practice.

Either way, I'll take it!

It made quite an impact on me. Good job.

Are we really a prime example of anythin'...

Obviously?? We're awesome! C'mon, have some pride!

'Course we're awesome!

That don't mean people should be lookin' at us for examples, 'specially when it comes to friendship or whatever.

Why not? We're friends.

Are we...?

Yeah?? What the hell man, have you been paying attention!

'Course I have. Am I s'posed to know we're friends from all that?

'Course you are! Don't act stupid, we're all as thick as thieves now! Keep talking stupid and I'll slug ya!

We're an example of... something, all right.

Don't say it like that. . .we're all definitely friends, so we should be proud of it!

Y’think we’re a good example?

[ gentle arm punch ]

Obviously, man! Look at us! We've been through a crap ton together--you don't get as far as we have without bonding!

You're right, you're right. I will give you that.

Thanks, Kaito.

Could we have solved all of this by inviting Typhon over for dinner.

Typhon you could have just hung out.

Yeah, no, I'd definitely have shot him if he came over.

You'd have shot him because he kidnapped and tortured us for months, but if instead of all this he'd just said hi, the risk of being shot would have gone way down.

I dunno, man. Rendin' the earth is one thing, but I lived with loneliness for a real long time without lockin' anyone in prison over it.

I have known little else for longer than I would care to admit. Yet even then I have not sunk to such depths as this.

[...He can't quite say he hasn't locked anyone in prison, though.]

[ sitting at a bench sipping some tea, like a ~lady~ ]

I didn't think we'd actually have to power of friendship our way outta this one.

Seems like that kinda thing happens more often than ya'd think.

Nor I.

[And yet, here they are.]

He can getta job and never be lonely again.

[Welp, loneliness sure is. a thing he knows, sort of. A different sort, maybe, but one close enough to it that he gets the sentiment, if nothing else.]

It should not be for anyone to force such on others for the mere sake of loneliness.

His loneliness is killing me. And I must confess I don't believe.

[all characters are allowed to respond, you do not have to formulate a response as a team! just type up what your character desires for the village/Typhon here!]

[ estinien is the last person who wants to babble sentimental bullshit, but, here goes nothing. ]

I learned being here that you do not need to be lonely. That there are people here that would rather sit with you than against you.

I know it must feel lonely for Typhon. But it doesn't have to be that way. You can have bonds just like we can have bonds. So that's my wish, desire, whatever. That Typhon can realize that he doesn't have to do shit like this alone, and that he can look at us at Bugbear and see that even stubborn shites like us can bond.

If you're lonely, a great way to make friends is starting with just 'hi' instead of months of torture.

Go out and talk to people. Ask them about their hobbies and interests. Invite them to events you'll both enjoy. And don't just hide in your office all the time and only show yourself via loudspeaker, of course you'll be lonely if you're charging people to talk to you.

Your current method is a really ineffective way of combating loneliness. You're so fond of all these trials, have you ever played just a normal card game? My desire is to play a game of poker with Typhon.

Get a real job and you'll crave alone time. Get some ambition ya scrub. If yer sad keep busy.

Well, I guess if we can't break his spine into ten pieces, I just want Typhon to piss off for good. Otherwise I will find a way to kick his ass.

Look, I just wanna live! This guy should too! Learn to live and make connections without putting weird as monsters in their heads! It'll do you some good!

If we could return his family without giving up ourselves, wouldn't that be agreeable?

[also for some reason the little bunny box is in here with you?? hello!! thanks Rook!!]

[Good bunny. It was wise that Rook didn't eat them.]

[you offer up your desires, the counterbalances to Typhon's emotions that swirl outside the greenhouse, distant but raw]

[and then. . . the glass begins to crack]

[this may seem worrying, but the bunny box's voice echoes in your head to soothe your concerns]

IT IS OKAY! DO NOT WORRY. YOUR POWER. . . IT IS ENOUGH. CLOSE YOUR EYES AND HOLD ON VERY VERY TIGHTLY!!

[and then, all around you, the greenhouse glass shatters, and your vision is engulfed in a warm, bright light]
