I don’t know what the hell a Florida man is, but sure. I trust you.

Well I’ll have to tell you about them when things have calmed down enough for us to get coffee.

Can’t wait. I’ve always wanted to know about the Earth. I’ve only seen pictures of it.

Well I’m no encyclopedia, but I can tell you about the places I’ve been.

Someone mention fire rescue?

No, no one mentioned fire rescue. Who are you?

Can't be harder than bushfire season post nuking of Antartica.

… Antarctica? When did you die?

Oh you must be from the other timeline.

Other time line? Oh yeah, I’m from the Simon one or whatever everyone else is calling it. I used to be a Captain of a space station. The COI, not sure if you heard of it.

Heard it mentioned around these parts a few times. I don't know much.

Maybe I could tell you more about it tomorrow. Maybe over a coffee?

Sounds good, see you then!

[Candy smells the stress, runs over and opens the over with her mouth]

Well some of these folk sure are rude.

We also got a really nice singer in here, and me I guess.

what if we summoned Bloodymary the spirit maybe she could give us some tips on Simon not fumbling.

Friend, I rather not deal with the spirits. We’re already dead so I think that’s enough going on around these parts.

Oh you don't know about the door.

You’re certainly right about that. Now tell me, do I want to know about this door?

Yeah, give it a second they usually show up eventually.

You’re being rather cryptic there.

Knight of wands.

HOLY MOTHER OF MOSES

Hello.

Well, hi there talking door. What does knight of wands mean, exactly?

A warning. A reading. Equal parts of both.

Well then I aught to thank you.

Don't be too hasty.

Never expect a talking door to be so humble.

... The tower.
