*Finn waves at us both, on a ledge on a tree two vines away*

@Realmatic

Come on... *Lets go of one and grabs the next* One more... *Catches the next one, losing momentum, landing on the ledge* Phew.

Follow me, you two. *Walks briskly toward a woody, leafy arch and waves you after me* Now, you asked where I'm from and what happens now. *Snaps my fingers when I arrive in front of the arch and it opens in a swirling green portal* Right through here. Careful on the other side—it's a bit of a drop. *Steps through and you hear a fading hoot*

@Realmatic

*Steps through and hollers in surprise when I start falling* There's no ledge there! *Regains my bearings and catches sight of a vine set up for me* Grab it grab it grab it grab it-- *Catches it and gets a grip on it; the invisible force lets go of it and it carries me down and forward* Got it!

*Looks at the man*
-Man- Once again, we thank you for your service. Without the help of travellers like you we may not have survived for many years. Fare well.

@Realmatic

<Snipped quote by Realmatic>

It's no trouble.

@Heroic

It was fun, even--no problem at all.

*Hands mine to him*

@Heroic

*Hands mine over to him as well* So if you're not of this tribe, where are you from?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Efficacy>

You were supposed to work with other intelligent beings, take advantage of the natural conflict among nature, and utilise death to survive. When did you do the other two? There's your answer, but you'd better answer it out loud.

@Realmatic

Conflict when we lost the wolves in the lions' territory and death when we attracted the carnivorous plants.

*Grins* Don't worry about it. I was disguised as well as a stick bug in a large tree.

@Realmatic

So what were the other two tests?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Realmatic>

Wowzer. Look at that, Aron.

@Heroic

I feel like we should have expected that.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

It is a happy coincidence. Or perhaps the jungle smiles on this tribe. *Steps aside and another man steps forward*
-Man- *Bows* Thank you for your service. We are grateful that Master Fin-ne has given us the gift of these tests. Our tribe will thrive for many more years to come.

@Realmatic

*Fumbles the word* Fin-ne isn't part of this tribe?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Efficacy>

Sure thing.
*Holds it up alongside yours*

@Heroic

*Walks into the village and lowers down my hand* So we do kind of need to find the leaders now. I don't know what to do with this.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Efficacy>

Somewhere, I'm sure.

@Heroic

True. It's a big multiverse. Hey--the village. *When we get closer, I raise my pearl, which shines much brighter now; the village cheers* Show them we have two.
