(OOC: Guess I'd better put my money where my mouth is, huh?)

[Ah, the majestic heights of Kefka's Tower, the home of the planet's most powerful entity.

Sure, it could be easily mistaken for a giant monster-infested garbage heap, but that's just part of its rustic charm!

Descending from the slopes of one such heap is a certain Troll. Now, what could he be doing?]

Kefka? Keeeefka?

[He doesn't know that Kefka idled out, poor guy. For now, it looks as if he's not going to get any answers.

SCHRACK]

A-AAAAHHHHHHH!

[Gravity, however, never idles out! Stanley is rolling down the trash slopes, and he disappears into the distance - but if your ears are good, you may hear some high-pitched humming...]

[Roze had missed something somewhere. Why was Stanley at Kefka's place? More importantly, first...]

Oh, are you alright?

[twobloomsup]

Roze!

[Stanley is dangling from a bough of vines, which still had their last green sparklies fading into the nether.]

I caught myself just in time!

[makewayforroze]

[Always happy to see him, he brings a smile to her face.]

I'm glad. You should be careful, it looks dangerous there.

Are you staying with Kefka, now?

[twobloomsup]

Yes! Or I was. I looked all over trying to find him for a while now and he's nowhere to be found!

[Kefka-mun, when are you going to app in again?]

[makewayforroze]

He's missing? Did something happen to him? He's always seemed to be a busy man.

[twobloomsup]

[It couldn't be the Returners. The Tower would be collapsing if it was that group.]

I have no idea! It's just that there was something important I wanted to show him.

[makewayforroze]

Did you make something?

[refinedvillian]

It seems as if you're more than alright.

[He can hear the humming, after all. For now, he's looking at his surroundings. That place looks interesting.]

[twobloomsup]

I am!

[Vines are slowly yet surely lowering Stanley to the ground.]

[refinedvillian]

I suppose I should suspect nothing less from someone so talented.

It seems you've found yourself an interesting place.

[twobloomsup]

That's one way to say it. It's actually a really big house with lots of people and gardens and things to learn!

[He's glossing over the fact that the Tower is literally made from Vector's ruins.]

[refinedvillian]

What kind of things?

[twobloomsup]

[Stanley begins counting on his fingers, lost in thought.]

What kinds of plants can be used to make medicines and how to make them, what to do if you're in danger, ways to grow plants - well, other than how I do it...

[Pause]

Oh! The world could really use some more flowers!

[Considering the state the World of Ruin is in, that's an understatement.]

[former_endboss]

If you see that guy-tell him that he was a complete tool.

[twobloomsup]

...okay!

[Oh Stanley.]

[former_endboss]

Seriously, he shouldn't just leave a girl hanging like he did.

[twobloomsup]

[Stanley looks at himself, who is too, hanging from vines. He laughs.]

I'm sure he had good reasons!

[...]

[former_endboss]

Yeah, well he couldn't cut it against that old granny outside so I guess that's a good a reason as any. They don't make gods like they used to.

[twobloomsup]

[Stanley uses the vines holding him to slowly, safely make his way down the slopes.]

Well, everyone has their bad days, Maybe he fell out of bed?

[Oh for fuck's sake!]

[masked_god]

Oh dear. Do you need a world-hop?

[Karakael has been missing Kefka recently, and now someone is trapped in his land? Tch.]

[twobloomsup]

[And now Stanley's hanging from vines.]

I, I can't find Kefka anywhere!

[masked_god]

Damn. He must have lost connection. I had wondered why he hasn't been visiting recently.

But never mind that. We'd best get you out of there before he loses.

[twobloomsup]

[Stanley blinks.]

...I didn't think of that. [Yes, that'd explain quite a bit, huh Stanley? But before he can look sad at this -]

- loses what?

[masked_god]

His game or his mind. Which ever comes first...

I doubt we will be able to talk sense into him, if he notices us at all.

[twobloomsup]

[On one hand, Stanley still wants to check up on Kefka. On the other, Karakael is talking sense, what with Kefka not responding or even being seen, despite Stanley's best efforts.

He thinks for a moment.

When it occurs to Stanley that Kefka can just call back if he regains his connection, he nods.]

Where should I go?
