camp vargas! ~spring happening~ 5-16 "i don't want to go back"

[mandytl]

 

 

Location: Dwarfs’ Mine - Interior

Ruggie: ... Is it, over… ?

Leona: Looks like it.

Ruggie: Siiigh… I’m beat.

I get the feeling I know the answer already, but everyone’s alive, right?

Sebek: As if I’d ever lose to some indeterminable creature. 

Floyd: Aw, man. I was hoping it’d hold out a little longer.

Deuce: Now, I can finally… leave this place… 

That monster attacked when I went to retrieve the pickaxe I left behind.

I hid in a cauldron I summoned after it drove me deeper into the mines.

But I’m… ultimately at my... limit…

Ace: Whoa, hey! Don’t lean on me like that! You sure you’re okay, Deuce?!

Jack: Are you saying you were trapped in there this whole time…? That’d wear a guy out for sure.

Grooowl…

Ace & Jack: …

Grim: Nyah hah hah! Was that your stomach? That was loud!

Deuce: I-I haven’t eaten since yesterday! It’s not my fault!

Ace: Man. Talk about anticlimactic.

… But at least he’s okay, right?

Jack: Yeah. I’m glad we didn’t just ditch him. I wouldn’t be able to sleep if we did.

Deuce: … Thanks for coming to my rescue, guys.

> Now we can go!

> It’s a good thing we went looking!

Leona: Hey. Are you through making a scene yet, or do you want to get disbanded? Let’s mosey.

Sebek: Gasp! I completely forgot!

Our efforts will all be for naught if we don’t arrive back at the cottage in time. Let’s make haste!!

Ruggie: …...

Floyd: ...Hm? What’s up, Remora-chan? That’s one serious frown.

What, you don’t wanna leave? Camp ending got you down?

Ruggie: I don't want to go back…

I’ve come too far to go back without mining for any magic gems! Not a chance!!

Jack: They’ll just dissolve your club if you’re late, and besides, you won’t get your reward. That okay with you?

Ruggie: … I figure I should give up on this one.

But even if we’re disbanded, if I sell enough of excavated magic gems… 

I’ll make a pretty good killing!

Ace: This guy literally never stops thinking about how to make a madol... 

Deuce: Throwing the Magift Club under the bus like that… What a terrible guy.

Sebek: How selfish can you be! Your greed is absurd. 

We’re heading back. Now!

Deuce: And leave behind someone who came to my rescue…? 

Floyd: … Man. Now I’m kinda irritated.

We beat the monster, so there’s no real point in being in this dark, narrow, and super boring place anymore.

… Hey, Remora-chan.

Ruggie: Hm?

Floyd: Time to use my “one single favor”.

I want to go back. Now. So drop the gem thing.

Ruggie: Seriously??!!

N-N-No waaay…

Floyd: You promised, right?

Sebek: Hahahah. Not bad! Surely that’ll fulfill the conditions of your bargain!

Ruggie: Arrrggghhh… Fine. I’ll throw in the towel this time.

Until the day we come around to collect the gems, and so no one can find this place…

We better hide the path heading into the mines with a boulder. You can at least help me with that!

Leona: You plan on coming back…?

Ruggie: … Sigh.

Let’s get out of here quick, before I start having any regrets.
