Chapter 19: A Long List of Ex-Lovers/Supports

* **Maggie**: Hm?

* **DJ**: This may be a bit rude to ask a lady, but you're pretty old, right?

* **Maggie**: You can say that again.

* **DJ**: Where are you from? Did you watch civilization on this continent develop over your life, or did you come here from somewhere else?

* **Maggie**: I was born veeeery far away a looong time ago.

* **DJ**: Oh, I see. How'd you make it out here, then?

* **Maggie**: I was taken from my home at a very young age. Probably about your mother's age.

* **DJ**: Hm.

* **Maggie**: And well, I was taken away. Spent a few decades in a weird place that I didn't know until I discovered the existence of dragonstones, transformed, and flew off.

* **DJ**: Interesting. And then what?

* **Maggie**: Then I spent some-odd centuries back home. After that, I spent a few decades in The Domain and came here!

* **DJ**: That sounds like quite the life story. You should tell me the full version sometime.

* **Maggie**: I can do that if you're interested.

* **DJ**: I am. So, um, another question.

* **Maggie**: Yeah?

* **DJ**: How do you handle losing friends? You must have made a lot of human friends with much shorter lifespans than you. How do you handle watching them all die?

* **Maggie**: You know how I'm always happy and bubbly?

* **DJ**: Yeah?

* **Maggie**: Like that.

* **DJ**: That was...an oddly uncomplicated answer.

* **Maggie**: Heh, sorry. Not really feeling the whole profound thing right now. Ask again later.

* **DJ**: Can do.

## Joanne and Taylor

### C Support

* **Joanne**: Hm? What's this, then? What's wrong, Taylor?

* **Taylor**: Oh, nothing, only the fact that I'm having the worst day ever.

* **Joanne**: What happened?

* **Taylor**: I got a letter from home and things aren't looking too good for my family's farm.

* **Joanne**: Oh no! What's wrong?

* **Taylor**: Storms have been ravaging our crops, so this entire season has produced no crops. My family's not gonna make enough money to sustain themselves.

* **Joanne**: Oh no...

* **Taylor**: So yeah. That sucks.

* **Joanne**: Well, maybe I can help you out?

* **Taylor**: You? Why? How?

* **Joanne**: Well we get paid for being in the Shepherds, right?

* **Taylor**: Yeah, and?

* **Joanne**: So you can give your family some of that money. And I'll be able to spare some gold as well.

* **Taylor**: You would do that for me?

* **Joanne**: Absolutely! We're all friends here, aren't we? That's what friends do, after all.

* **Taylor**: Thanks Joanne. You're a life saver!

* **Joanne**: Don't mention it!

## Bohl and Harley

### C Support

* **Harley**: Hey Bohl. What are you doing?

* **Bohl**: …

* **Harley**: Bohl. Hello? Earth to Bohl?

* **Bohl**: …

* **Harley**: Speak to me, Bohl.

* **Bohl**: …

* **Harley**: Please. This is getting more awkward by the second.

* **Bohl**: …

* **Harley**: Er...anyway, I'm here to tell you that kitchen duty is all yours tonight.

* **Bohl**: …

* **Harley**: Joos was supposed to do it, but his injuries today caught up to him, so it's your turn a bit early.

* **Bohl**: …

* **Harley**: You understand?

* **Bohl**: …

* **Harley**: ...I'm leaving.

* **Bohl**: ...Harley, no, wait! ...Oh, man.

* **Augustus**: What the hell was that?

* **Bohl**: Harley is just so very cold. I could not think about what to be saying of.

* **Augustus**: You mean cool?

* **Bohl**: Right! Oh man, I goofed it up.

## Chase and Joanne

### B Support

* **Joanne**: Hey Chase, let's have a seat.

* **Chase**: What are we doing?

* **Joanne**: We're gonna read that hilarious Joos book again.

* **Chase**: Why?

* **Joanne**: Because it's been a long couple of days and we need the cheering up, I think.

* **Chase**: But I've already read it and gotten a laugh out of it.

* **Joanne**: Then do I have good news for you, my friend.

* **Chase**: Hm?

* **Joanne**: He wrote a sequel!

* **Chase**: He did not.

* **Joanne**: He did! And it's about the kids meeting in the same weird "internet" place. It's pretty good.

* **Chase**: Pretty good as in actually good, or pretty good as in hilariously bad?

* **Joanne**: Take a wild guess.

* **Chase**: Oh yes, we're reading the hell out of this. How'd you figure out about this, by the way?

* **Joanne**: I may or may not have connections with a certain very skilled thief.

* **Chase**: Thank you, Dakota. Let's jump right in!

## Dakota and Signele

### A Support

* **Signele**: I'm going to take a wild guess and say that you're here for some weird reason that amounts to you thinking I'm cool, right?

* **Dakota**: No.

* **Signele**: Then why are you here?

* **Dakota**: To be around you, really.

* **Signele**: Because I'm weird?

* **Dakota**: Because you're not all that bad. You're loud and annoying, but you're cool.

* **Signele**: I'm cool? Me? Psh.

* **Dakota**: It's true. And I can't help but want to hang around you to see what weird things you'll do next.

* **Signele**: That's totally what friends do, right?

* **Dakota**: Pretty sure it is.

* **Signele**: …So are we friends?

* **Dakota**: You've put up with my insults and weirdness, and I've put up with your strange behavior, so yeah. I'd say we're friends.

* **Signele**: I never thought we'd be friends. I thought you hated me and wanted to watch me suffer in confusion of your actions. Guess I was wrong!

* **Dakota**: You don't exactly make it easy to be friends with you.

* **Signele**: I know, the giant rabbit thing always throws people off.

* **Dakota**: Not just that, but okay. We're friends now, so we're going to leave it at that.

* **Signele**: And what if I don't want to leave it at that?

* **Dakota**: Don't do anything reckless. I don't want you getting hurt over me not wanting to talk about something.

* **Signele**: Well if you insist…friend.
