Sure! How about hot chocolate?

Just enough to see that we finally have a supermarket.

[ This will become immediately apparent as soon as they enter the kitchen because it's stocked up very well - and also there's a whole bowl of oranges on the counter.

Ponta's going to get out a pot to heat up some milk and then chop up some chocolate while they talk. ]

Really is.

[ His kitchen at home isn't awful, but he could truly get used to this kind of arrangement. Well, with a little caveat... ]

Almost like someone is hoping we won't complain too much, out of gratitude or something.

Not to mention how they give us all that money. The people here don't really have powers normally, do they?

So how does the change keep showing up in our pockets anyway?

I guess they had time to get used to the whole hero from another world deal when the original twelve got here.

... or maybe all of this happened before, even earlier than that.

Yeah, I was also wondering about that... Though I wonder how much of that is them putting on a show for us, to make us feel reassured.

Sure did... I don't even know where to start untangling all this.

[ But what he does know is that he's finished stirring chocolate into hot milk, so after some finishing touches there's two mugs of fancy hot chocolate here.

It doesn't solve their problems, but it's a start. ]


We gotta figure out who's really pulling the strings, but we have no clue how to get to them...

[ Yeah, gripping a warm mug is a good motivator. Ponta's grabbing his and guiding them over to the couches because that's the more comfortable space to sit. ]

Us all being from different worlds was really confusing at first, but on the other hand it means we have all kinds of angles to approach this from. Maybe that'll do some good?
