[color=SpringGreen]”I mean, we’d be here foreeeeeeever if I told you about all the stuff we’ve been through! You're looking at one of the oldest members of this whole group. Been a seeker since papa took down the first guardian, who was, like, also papa but a jerk version of papa”[/color] Jr pipped up to brag in response to the question about the seeker’s history.

Then, when Rika pointed out that [color=Aqua]”I think he meant more the things we were up to in the Under”[/color] Jr in turn pointed to Yayama and said that [color=SpringGreen]”Yeah but she wouldn’t know that, so she should! It's a big deal!”[/color]

She supposed, but though they should maybe stick to newer stuff. That she could talk about. Like the pizza tower. [color=Aqua]”It was very silly. Bunch of cheese monsters,  spooky cookie baking grandmas, and there were these trolls that demanded we make pizza based with specific toppings before they’d let us pass. Then up to there was this really weird guy with a pizza face who changed up the rules a bit like this place does so that everything could only take, like, three hits before it died, including probably us. Which was scary even if the guy himself was as silly as the stuff in his tower”[/color] 

[color=SpringGreen]”Ok, but, like, that’s not as important as mine though”[/color] Jr insisted, to which Rika simply replied that [color=Aqua]”It was really good pizza though”[/color] 

[color=SpringGreen]”I mean, yeah, I guess,”[/color] Jr replied, a little frustrated because it had been really good pizza, before pointing out that [color=SpringGreen]”but it's more important that we were, like, the first to take down a Consul when we took out P. The old P I mean. Not the new P who is Princess Peach”[/color]

[color=Aqua]”That’s probably come up already though, right? So mine was better”[/color] She replied, with just a hint of cheek that took her brother by surprise.

[color=SpringGreen]”What. No it wasn’t”[/color]

[color=Aqua]”Yeah it was. Plus, here’s another one: there’s a whole load of super strong looking weapons down in the Under inside this massive tree just next to the home of tears. Everyone was kinda too distracted by Asgor, who’s been de-storied for ages and is how we found out about that stuff at the start, and the flame clock, which we couldn’t break even Papa turned super big and punched half way across a cavern, but they’re there, n probably would be pretty good for the people who care about those kinds of things”[/color] 

[color=SpringGreen]”I… Wait... did nobody ever try to grab those at all?”[/color]

[color=Aqua]”Don’t think so”[/color] 

[color=SpringGreen]”Why not?”[/color]

[color=Aqua]”Distracted”[/color] 

[color=SpringGreen]”Huh”[/color]

Jr scratched his head and then said [color=SpringGreen]”All the stuff he told us about the world being really old and stuff feels like way less of a big deal now that we are flying around with the Lost Numbers, but yeah, guess at that point it was… like…”[/color] before moving his hands to his forehead and then pulling them away while making the sound of his mind being blown to bits by the revelation that Galeem’s world was absolutely ancient and its victory over all reality had happened an eternity ago.

[color=Aqua]”Yup”[/color] Rika agreed succinctly.

Amaterasu wasn’t exactly one who could tell stories, nor would she have been too inclined too even if she could deliver more than 6.66 recurring words per minute. She also wasn’t much of a listener, but she did perk an ear at this tidbit of info about these supposedly powerful weapons. It was a shame they were buried underground somewhere far far away from here.

The next little tid-bit that got dropped however was definitely something to be paid attention to, namely: [color=SpringGreen]”Oh and the home of tears was this big city underground where it rained all the time somehow. Nice place despite that, least until Consul F mind controlled the whole town and had them try to take us down. We, uh, should probably be careful about that happening here as well once you lot start making the news. Not sure if they still hate us or not, we were sneaky when we popped back there yesterday, but might make it hard to be in the tournament even if we did then take out the Consul doing the ordering about”[/color]

That, Amaterasu suspected, would not be an easy thing to do in a city full of fighters. Still, the Consul had seemed to be fine with letting the world deal with her problems for her, rather than taking her own hand in things. She could only hope that she’d be just as uncaring when a whole bunch of them started threatening to win all the tournaments.
