Summary of Receipt
Zeuz meets the three others. Complexico calls Shaka ‘MB’ (reference to otherworldly adventures' CD-AWNO02?), and Cold does weird stuff. He repeats the word ‘Fate’ 8 times (personally i think fate’s another elder), and tells them to find the Staff of Solomon because he doesn’t have it. He also talks about not being able to see the real Belphegor in centuries, and something about his family. Zeh decides to find the Staff himself, and Complexico asks Shaka if he can help Indrid Cold, since he has some ‘ill-intent [he] wish[es] to discuss’.
Transcript
WELCOME LADIES, GENTLEMEN, AND OTHERS, TO THE THIRD EPISODE (FOR HERE AND NOW) OF "STOP RECORDING WHAT I SAY, OBOONEXRE I DON'T APPRECIATE IT!"
Your Gamemaster: Oboonexre
Your Great Ape: Zehhurozzm
Your Mysterious Benefactor: Shaka
Your Friend Friend Friend: Zeuzitxum
---
Zeuz: Hello, my name is Indrid Cold. Do not be afraid.
Oboon: Yeah, yeah, hi again, Cold. We're plenty afraid, don't you worry your little empty head. The thing is my... friend? Would you say we are friends?
Zeh: No.
Oboon: Got it. My friend, the Ageless Ape, is looking for an item you might have in your general possession. The Staff of Solomon?
Zeuz: Solomon? Do you really think so?
Shaka: I know you have it as part of your ongoing arrangement with the Game Master.
Oboon: Oh, "Game Master," I like that. That sounds cool. Usually, people just call me Game Show.
Zeh: I'm surprised people don't call you "Chatterbox." Do you ever stop talking?
Oboon: Rarely. Anyway, the MB is right. You probably have it as part of my prize scheme, Cold.
Zeuz: I don't know... it would be kind of dangerous, wouldn't it?
Shaka: Yes, it is a stupid prize. I'm sure somewhere inside what remains of your mind, you know that, Cold. Though this is not my deal to broker. Give the Ape the staff or don't. I wouldn't want to stand in the way of Fate.
Zeuz: Fate. Fate. Fate. Fate. Fate. Fate. Fate. Fate.
Oboon: Way to go MB, you got the guy spinning.
Zeuz: Fate, Fate, Friendly, Friend, Fearful, Fate, Find, Find, Find the Staff of Solomon.
Zeh: Find? I thought you had it.
Zeuz: Would you use it if your life was in danger?
Zeh: Of course I wouldn't. I do not use my prizes like some savage creature.
Zeuz: Solomon? I haven't heard from them in eons. Not the real them, anyway. Solomon? I haven't heard from her in eons. Not the real her, anyway. Sara? I haven't heard from her in eons. Not the real her, anyway. What about, what about, what about, what about, what about, what about this makes you think I want to do this? They're my family. They were my family.
Zeh: I don't follow.
Oboon: I'm a bit lost myself.
Shaka: And my lips are unfortunately sealed on this matter. I know I said I would stay out of this affair, but you've piqued my interest, Cold. Your family? So it is well enough fated then? Fated for whom?
Zeuz: Chocolate, Cold, Cold, Cold Coffee, Tea, and Candy Canes.
Shaka: Ah, I see.
Zeh: See what?
Oboon: Zumbido mati nǐ znat.
Shaka: Ah, clever one Game Show.
Zeh: You are all very infuriating to be around.
Shaka: In any case, it is always a pleasure, Cold. See you at the "family" reunion.
Zeuz: Which, which, family, which family?
Shaka: I think that is up to us, friend.
Zeuz: Hello, my name is Indrid Cold. Do not be afraid. Solomon? Do you really think so?
Zeh: Yes! Solomon! Where is it? Where is my prize?
Shaka: It's a lost cause, Ape. It is no longer with Indrid. It is already well on its way to where it needs to be. It is no more than a baton in the orchestra of chaos. And the conductor is getting ready to play.
Zeh: What is that supposed to mean?
Oboon: It means you're probably better off getting cozy to the Dark than the Cold.
Zeh: Bah! You are all useless. I will reclaim my prize on my own.
Oboon: Best of luck, friend! Geez, I'm glad he's gone.
Zeuz: I don't know... it would be kind of dangerous, wouldn't it?
Oboon: You can say that again. Eh. Probably will say that again. Hey, Shaka, do you think we could get Cold to... you know... warm up a bit?
Shaka: Not worth the risk. Why?
Oboon: I have some... ill-intent I wish to discuss.
