['Sup, ADR. Today, there's a certain Fonon Sentience in here -- but he's appearing as a pillar of flame.]

[And...wait, what? He's standing behind a booth? A banner is hanging over his head, which says:

LORELAI'S SPECIAL SCORE READINGS -- FOR FREE TODAY ONLY!

And underneath that cheery caption, there's some fine print:

Disclaimer: the Score may or may not be just one of many paths -- decide on your own. So please, Those Who Would Seize Glory should go away.

[So what would you do, sweet, innocent, non-Van residents of the ADR? Ask for a Score reading? Try to kill him? Dump some water on him before he sets the ADR on fire? The choice is yours!]

I think you're the most unsocial of all the Light of the Sacred Flames I have met here so far. You should learn to be more like the one with pink hair! He's quite a sweet boy. Perhaps I could try introduce you two?

Are you really trying to say I'm unsocial because I like my hair the way it is? I mean, that's just... you know, I don't even know what that is.

But, really, if you're going to go out of your way and do something like that, I'd really appreciate some help finding away back to Auldrant much more. Asch is already going to be annoyed that I'm late, but I've got a lot going on there that I really need to get back to. I mean, seriously, who would have thought freeing you out into the Fon Belt would end up causing more problems for Auldrant... I thought the point was that it'd save Auldrant from all those problems.

[Lorelai just sort of...hovers.]

Unfortunately, it seems that I'm trapped here as well. I could try again...The worst that can happen is that you die, after all, and we all know how that turned out last time.

Problems....? But my world has been completely peaceful...

...Yeah, but dying was kind of... [ ...scary... ] ...painful. And I don't think Asch would be too happy if that happened to me again.

[ But, still, if even Lorelei is trapped here... Luke is starting to have this really bad feeling he'll never get home. ]

...

Mm, well... I guess no one else here really gets it, either. Or, uh... damnit, what was it that jerk said? Something about this place having more than one of the same person and our Auldrants are different...

[ Luke shakes his head slightly. ] Ah, well, anyway. What it comes down to is, there's a pretty huge fonon shortage in... 'my' Auldrant, I guess is the best way to put it...?

Ah. Then we shall not attempt that.

Well, there are too many of you running around for any other plausible reason...Except that the Necromancer went crazy with Fomicry.

Yes, with the deactivation of the Planet Storm, that is understandable.

[Some days, Lorelai wonders if he himself would fade.]

I guess maybe we were a little hasty back then...

Would you care to elaborate, my perfect isofon? It takes quite a lot of time and effort to try and prepare for saving Auldrant once again, if it comes down to that.

When we had to fight Master Van; I mean, I guess we didn't have any choice but to stop the Planet Storm if we wanted to get onto Eldrant to stop him, but we should have probably also had someone thinking of some way to help prevent any lasting effects. But, as for saving Auldrant again, Asch and I have been working on that. [ They're not really succeeding just yet, though. It probably doesn't help that Lorelei hasn't been particularly helpful in their efforts, though. Or that they're going it alone rather than getting anyone else involved. ]

Ah, so Auldrant does need saving again! Exactly what is wrong this time?

Well... I mean, we knew it'd happen when we stopped the Planet Storm, but no one's really gotten used to the lowered fonon levels. And it's been really difficult for anyone to find some other power source, let alone how much more difficult it is to fend off monsters. ...And then there's those people who are even worse than Master Van, who kill innocent people just to steal fonons. It's...

[ Luke shakes his head. ] So Asch and I have been trying to find a way to put a stop to that and find some way to either fix the fonon problems or find some other source of energy. It's not going so well yet, but we have a few leads, at least.

It seems....inevitable, that mankind would find problems no matter how much they manage to overcome. I wish I know of a way to help, but....I think my power is fading.

I don't know about that... I still believe people can live in peace.

...? Your power's fading? I didn't even think that was possible... I mean, as long as there are Seventh Fonons and all...
