So guys... you read the letter about those twins, I guess?

Well, I-- we were thinking that they probably know a whole lot about this place. Especially if they're the 'gods' of the island. So... wouldn't it be a good idea to form a search party and go looking for them? Guessing that they're still around, anyway. If a whole bunch of us go to look

What if they're not on the island? If they're gods couldn't they be anywhere?

[fixmyresolve]

Well, I guess... but in the letter the mayor said she got to meet them.

Besides... maybe they aren't gods? Maybe they're stuck on this island too. Maybe they are gods and still can't leave. I'm not really an expert on things like that...

I think looking's at least worth a shot, right? If we don't bump into them, we won't be any worse off than we were before.

You want to look for those twins? I'm not sure they can be found that easily if nobody's ever seen them aside from the mayor...but maybe it's worth a try anyway. Count me in! If you find something I'd like to know.

[fixmyresolve]

Sure thing! You never know unless you try, right?

Besides, even if they couldn't be found before, maybe they've changed their minds since then. I bet it'd be pretty lonely continuing to hide from people forever.

[chaos_squirrel]

Yeah, it must be. I'd hate to be unable to talk with anyone else for so long. Maybe they--

Hey, even if they're gods, they did say this was supposed to be a place for people who despaired. Could it be that the gods themselves were despairing too?

[fixmyresolve]

Well, I'm sure not despairing, are you?

Maybe it's those twins who are in despair. Don't people say something about "misery loving compa---" no wait, then why haven't we bumped into them by now?

Darn it. This doesn't make any sense at all!

I admire your spirit and optimism, dear, but no one has seen these twins at all. Do you truly think we can find them now?

[fixmyresolve]

Well, I sorta doubt they'd just pop out in the open... Has anyone actually made an effort to find them?

Maybe the right person hasn't looked, or maybe the right people went about looking for them in the wrong way, or maybe we just have to keep on trying.

You never know until you try and even if we don't gain anything by searching for them, we won't lose anything either.

[eccentricsniper]

Not that I know of. Perhaps it's time we try!

Your optimism is always so inspiring, Lloyd!
