All right. Tell me something, people. Did you get anything that...makes no sense to have here?

[The camera then pans to the other side of the bedroom...in which there's a wooden cart piled high with flowers.]

Because I certainly did.

They should have died over two years ago...

[ No, but he did get something awesome... ]

Oh? Flowers? D'you have a secret admirer or something~?

[king_of_flames]

...No. That's not where these came from.

[eliciadaddy]

Where did they come from, then, Roy?

[ Both of you already know he knows the answer to that question already. ]

[king_of_flames]

If you have to know? Back home.

Sure did. Got my buttons back, if they count? [And he holds up two black buttons, exactly the same size as his eyes. He doesn't even know where they came from.]

[king_of_flames]

Buttons, eh? From back home?

[otherpumpkin]

Yep. Helped me see everything before I got here.

[king_of_flames]

...Helped you see?

[notrueking]

[oh.

oh.

you're here too, then.

well, this should be interesting. when are you from, exactly...]

It seems rather odd to qualify what does and doesn't make sense in relation to this place.

[king_of_flames]

[All previous thoughts have been completely and utterly derailed. Because holy shit when did King Bradley get here.]

Wh -- What the hell?! When did you get here?!

[notrueking]

A few days ago. I'm surprised you didn't notice.

[king_of_flames]

[He's mentally kicking himself for that.]

The holiday rush tends to result in things getting neglected.

[oxidegreen]

[Video]

Yes.

[king_of_flames]

From the sound of it, it seems everybody did. Was there any notable significance to what you got back?

[oxidegreen]

...

It was used by my master to leap from one dimension to another... among other things.

[king_of_flames]

[WHAT.]

You're saying that you now possess a device capable of interdimensional travel?!

[exeggutorhead]

[Envy is snickering. Yeah, he might have gotten what amounts to a useless rock in this world, but at least he didn't get stuck with a flower cart.]

Really? That's what you got?

[king_of_flames]

Oh, like you got something better!

[exeggutorhead]

Actually, I did get something better.

[He tosses a small red rock up where it will be visible on the camera, catching it before it falls. He doesn't know if Roy will recognize a bit of (incomplete) Philosopher's Stone when he sees one, but if he needs to clarify he will gladly.]

[king_of_flames]

What-- That's--

[Roy is rendered speechless. It's perfectly clear that Roy knows exactly what it is and what it can do.]
