>Apologize to Sparken for making him part of a joke and then ask who the other person is.

...pfft, no. You would APOLOGIZE, but you aren't SORRY.

"With a friend like YOU, who needs enemies?"
"My bad. Anyways, who's this guy?"
You contemplate STEALING the STRANGER'S HAT. However, he is WATCHING you too closely. In addition, the HAT seems to have TRANSFORMED from a FEDORA into a TOP HAT when you BLINKED. You aren't a huge fan of TOP HATS.

"Hi, I'm Time."
"...you're what?"
"I'm 27, the god of Time. Your friend here fell into our realm. Luckily, Seth caught him before he hit anything. I came to give him back."

...His HAT has CHANGED again. You're not sure if you believe this guy.



Vote for A Lost Realm, because 27 is awesome.

>Push Sparken through

"Hey, Sparken, you should take a look at this."
SPARKEN seems slightly REASSURED by you taking charge.

"Okay, um, it's some kind of swirly silver liquid and-"
"THIS! IS! SPARTAAA!
"skdsf;fghfdghj"

SPARKEN falls through. He doesn't come out the other side (which, incidentally, looks EXACTLY THE SAME as this side). The surface RIPPLES LIKE WATER as he passes, but SHOWS NOTHING.

The INTERNS back away in ABJECT TERROR.

Luckily for you, SPARKEN comes back out a few seconds later, looking UNDERSTANDABLY ANNOYED.

He isn't alone.

oh god who is this and what do you do


Vote for A Lost Realm, to celebrate the introduction of THE BEST CHARACTER

>Have the ginger put the stone in

That should work. The GINGER is extremely TALL.

"Hey, Yana, can you put this rock in the gap on the archway?"

YANA obliges, taking the RUNESTONE.

You're getting pretty EXCITED about this. You have a FEELING that something IMPORTANT is going to happen. You're not sure why.

She easily PLACES the RUNESTONE.

It fits perfectly.

...

...shit.

The ARCHWAY has been ACTIVATED- it is now covered in RED RUNES, all GLOWING BRIGHTLY. A strange ETHEREAL SILVER SUBSTANCE has MATERIALIZED within the ARCHWAY. The INTERNS look REALLY FREAKED OUT.

Honestly, you're feeling REALLY FREAKED OUT yourself.

What do you even DO in a situation like this?

Vote for A Lost Realm, or you might never see what happens next!

>Impress the girls by lifting what is obviously a very heavy rock up above your head. While they are swooning, place the rune in the center of the archway.

You aren't sure you want to impress the girls. For one, they're INTERNS. For two, the BLOND is too ENERGETIC, the GINGER is MUTE, the WHITE-HAIRED ONE is CREEPY AS HELL, and the PINK-HAIRED ONE...

"HEY ICHI. Why are you taking so long to get anything done? I thought you were supposed to be some kind of genius!"


Gosh darnit, she's SNARKING at you. Even after she asked to come in the first place. Lousy INTERNS.

Anyways, you're too SHORT to reach the ARCHWAY GAP, and you don't have a LADDER. Perhaps you could get an INTERN to lift you up or put it in for you.

But which one?



Vote for A Lost Realm, or you'll make Ichi sadface.

>Marvel at the beauty of the sunset, then get srs and check out the stone with the red mark.

Excellent idea! You love SUNSETS.

This one is quite pretty. Not many clouds, so a bit less colorful than it could be, but the way the sun sparkles on the ATLANTIC OCEAN is amazing to see.

That done, you pick up the RUNESTONE.

It's a perfectly normal ROCK, aside from the large RED RUNE on the front. The RUNE appears to be GLOWING slightly. It's not particularly HEAVY- even your SCRAWNY NERD ARMS can comfortably lift it.

Now what?

Last post for tonight, but there'll be more tomorrow! Please keep reading!
