ANNA IS HOME, TREEHOUSE. YOU CAN ALL BE HAPPY AGAIN.
WE'RE HOME! IT TOOK A LONG ENOUGH TIME, BUT WE'RE FINALLY BACK FOR GOOD. AND...-LOOKS DOWN AT HERSELF AND SMILES APPRECIATIVELY- WENT THROUGH TEN CIRCLES OF HELL TO GET IT, BUT IT WAS WORTH IT.
LONG STORY SHORT, WE SNUCK INTO THIS NASTY CAVE IN THE ENGLISH COUNTRYSIDE, GOT LOST IN TUNNELS, STUMBLED INTO A STORAGE CAVITY, FOUND MY BODY LOCKED IN A CHEST, AND FOUGHT TOOTH AND NAIL TO GET OUT ALL IN SOLID PIECES. MY VESSEL WAS A MESS WHEN WE FIRST FOUND IT, BUT AFTER GETTING BACK IN IT, I MOJO'D IT BACK TO PERFECTION. MEGAN FOX HAS ALSO BEEN CAREFULLY TENDED TO AND RETURNED TO HER HOME.
WILLA'S ARM WAS IN PRETTY BAD SHAPE--SOME CURSE REMOVED THE BONES IN HER ARM. SHE WAS PISSED, AND IT TOOK HOURS, BUT HERMIONE WAS ABLE TO FIX HER. THE REST OF US MIRACULOUSLY GOT AWAY WITH ONLY A FEW SCRATCHES, BUT, GABE... -FROWNS- HE WAS SUPPOSED TO COME BACK WITH US, BUT HE INSISTED ON MOJO'ING BACK ALONE AND... WELL, HE HASN'T RETURNED. HE HASN'T CALLED OR...-WORRIES MORE- WE JUST CAN'T FIND HIM. IF ANYONE HEARS FROM HIM--IN CASE HE DOESN'T...CONTACT ME FIRST, PLEASE TELL ME? I'M...I KNOW HE'S PROBABLY ALL RIGHT, BUT, I'M A LITTLE SCARED ANYWAY...
I'LL SAVE THE UNPACKING FOR LATER. RIGHT NOW I JUST WANT TO ENJOY BEING BACK. DRINK, ANYBODY?
OH, BEFORE I FORGET--WE MANAGED TO KLEPTO A VARIETY OF TRINKETS FROM THAT STORAGE ROOM--MOSTLY PROTECTION PENDANTS, HEX BAGS, AND A FEW ODD-LOOKING BOXES. WE INSPECTED THEM ALL AND THEY'RE SAFE TO HANDLE. A LOT OF THEM LOOK REALLY USEFUL, SO EVERYON'ES FREE TO TAKE ANYTHING THEY LIKE--EXCEPT FOR THIS BOX HERE:
WEIRD-LOOKING, ISN'T IT? I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT'LL HAPPEN IF YOU UNLOCK IT, BUT I DON'T PERMIT ANYONE TO TRY. I'M SURE WE DON'T WANT ANY HAVOC. I'M KEEPING THIS THING IN THE BASEMENT SO IT'S OUT OF SIGHT. -NODS- NOW FOR SOME VODKA..
