A strange staff of sorts would be found packaged near the steps of the land of departure's monastery. It almost resembled a burnt tree branch with it's twisted black metal 'limbs'  that flared out at the top. It came with a letter, written in cursive, well practiced font.

“Greetings, dear sir or madam

If you’ve found this torch in your possession it means I want to bring my troupe to your world. I know inviting complete strangers into your home is a rather large leap of faith to take, so allow me to provide more information to help make that jump a little less daunting.

Despite our appearances we are not monsters or demons. Simply bugs who have banded together under a mutual trust and have formed into a rather unique family.

If your world is one in which sentient bugs do not exist: No, we will not lay our eggs inside you or whatever other nightmare your mind conjures up at that idea.

We offer various shows, one type of which are battles. They are not to the death, and if it seems like one combatant will kill the other I, the master of the troupe will personally intervene.

Lastly, this torch will NOT summon my troupe. It will summon me. If you are willing, simply plant this torch down somewhere and light it’s beacon. If you are not, simply dispose of it and this letter as you see fit.

I hope to make your acquaintance soon

Regards

Terra had manage to set up a reservation for them at Little Chef’s Bistro, thanks mostly to Mr. Scrooge. However, Terra still needed something at least semi-formal for the occasion. He had spent hours trying to pick out what to go with, with a little help from Ven. He wants to look his best. This would be their first date, and nothing needs to go wrong. Especially since it was Valentine’s Day. He opt for a pair of brown dress pants and blazers along with a simple and clean t-shirt. He also made sure to buy a box of chocolates and flowers for Aqua when he arrives...which was also the reason he ran a little late getting there.
