So. Hey? I'm Miles. Met some of you already around. I only recently got here with the whole desert thing and all. I just was busy figuring all this out. Initially. Was kinda in the middle of stuff back home. But I'm trying to help out where I can at least. While I am here. However long that's gonna be.

Mostly I'm still -- I guess, processing everything. Here and back home the last few days before I ended up here. Now we kinda have some breathing room after.....all that. Those guys with the blades and whatever. I know most everyone have their secrets. Probably mostly smaller ones that don't really mean anything, that they'd just be embarrassed about if others knew or whatever. But what if it is something bigger? Something you're even hiding from your parents? I've messed around trying to hide my graffiti or stickers from my dad but that's.....not like this. But I was told I have to keep this secret, that nobody else can know.

[Maybe. Talking about it might help? Or just make him feel worse about hiding things from his parents. Miles isn't sure yet. It varies, in him feeling guilty about it and in being relieved his parents don't know about the last few days. Or he might just get everyone here wondering what he is on about, possibly getting completely the wrong idea or something. Miles is just. Still so new with this, wondering how he will handle the whole double life thing. There are other superheroes around. Maybe they have more experience. But he isn't sure on how to ask. If he should, really. Is he too obvious? Miles isn't sure. It's hard to say, unless anyone has literally seen him to know, like the other Spiders, like Aunt May.]

Perhaps it's a sign of how antsy Ange is that she does this. Perhaps it's a sign she's looking for some human contact of some sort. Or maybe it's just idle curiosity. Who knows, really.

No matter what reason is behind it, Ange asks through the network.

"I'm getting a pot of those leaves with the magical scent. Don't ask why. Come get a faceful of steam if you want, I don't care"

She really doesn't want to broadcast that she may or may not be turning into a wraith soon. The less she thinks about that, the better, and she'd love to keep the number of people aware of that relatively low.

"I heard you get a different scent for some reason. Want to talk about that?"

Of course it's more than fine if you don't, she's not out to break kneecaps if you don't respond to the network. Still! The question sure is floating now!

[It’s just Elle and Lloyd ‘on screen’, since Raistlin doesn’t wanna and it’s pointless with Need, but her gravelly Mindvoice still sounds:] We’ve found something important, children.

[Elle:] Ooooh boy did we find some shi-stuff. We have good news and bad news. Well, bad news and worse news, really.

[Lloyd:] Elle and I made contact with the spirits of some of the previous inhabitants. They told us that other worlds are being pulled in–or parts of them, in some cases–and that the bigger this amalgam gets, the more unstable the magic holding it together becomes. The whole thing is in danger of collapse, if things continue the way they’ve been going.

[Elle:] Any world with magic is at risk of getting dragged in and torn apart. Non-magical worlds have a chance, too.

[Need:] The Market’s living inhabitants also left us some messages. A letter describes this place as a patchwork, like the two just said, and that it’s called the Wilderlands. Now, the Trolls who used to live here were harmed by the cavern roof being breached when it crossed over and their Heartstone was already dying, so they left to find refuge in a place called Rivendell.

...By the by, the little folks with the red hats are also people. This is their home. Speaking to them is difficult, but if they’ve taken anything of yours, come to me. I think I can negotiate to get it back. They're not going to try and steal anything else if we treat them respectfully.

[Lloyd:] One more thing. [ His expression sobers. ] The spirits we were talking to have disappeared–the Heartstone’s magic was helping them stick around long enough to make contact with us. We’re going to have to make a decision on what our next move is, and soon, because I don’t think we’re going to be safe here for much longer.

[Need:] The Trolls’ mages suggested we follow them across the desert to Rivendell. Supposedly, that's a place of greater safety and more answers.
