Theeeey'll really make anything disappear, huh. ... Guess this isn't the greatest time for asking stuff, but—anybody gotten stuff back from the sand so far?

That was my fucking hat...!

[errandry]

I was thinking! You're in the Glass City, right?

[vesperian]

Yeah, I am. What about it?

[errandry]

I dunno, can you break the barrier from that side?

[vesperian]

Break it? Last time that happened, the City was infested with a bunch of monsters. Doesn't seem like the best idea.

[errandry]

I meant the barrier that's keeping the Glass City separated from the desert—you can't just get that one guy to make another hole or anything?

[vesperian]

You make it sound like it should be so easy. You really have that much confidence in me?

[errandry]

Nah, I bet it isn't easy. But it'd be one way, right?

[vesperian]

And people call me reckless.

[errandry]

Well, we're kinda desperate right now!

[vesperian]

Desperation doesn't mean stupid.

[errandry]

... how bad is it?

[vesperian]

It's not pretty.

[errandry]

At the rate they're getting people through, though... I dunno how long the safe zone's gonna work. There's gotta be something.

[vesperian]

There's gotta be some way to get you guys over here. Without making things worse.

[errandry]

You haven't seen anything?

[vesperian]

Have you?

[errandry]

We've got monsters crawling out of the sand, stuff still crumbling... that's it.

[vesperian]

Sounds like paradise.

[errandry]

Yeah, you oughta come visit sometime.

[vesperian]

And steal the action? Nah, I'll leave that to you.

[errandry]

What action, we're holing up way inside the safe zone.

[vesperian]

The thrilling tales of Kazu and the sand castle.

[errandry]

Better than the thrilling tales of Yuri Lowell and neighbors watching you through the walls.

[vesperian]

That one at least has some suspense to it. Neighbors watching me through walls?

[errandry]

Glass city, remember?
