@Canti: Sorry, I was really only kidding before, although you can't command a character to like another character.
@WR: Fox is a merchant. They looked for him on Antifoo because that's where they last saw him. They're going to look for him in Newsuperubermegatropolis because they're out of good ideas and keep misreading every insanely obvious clue that I give them.
@Cooba: They wanted to go to the Isle of Darkness first.
Realizing the error of my ways, I warped back to Pandora's Isle, traded Solstice's angel decoration for the mittens, then warped back to Antifoo Isle. I handed the mittens back to L33tz4n. She looked at them briefly, then at me.
"That was purely out of the kindness of my heart!" I told her.
"Um... okay," she replied.
I spun around a few times, held up the magic map, and cried out, "In the name of Uberbob, to the Isle of Darkness we must go!" I tapped the surface of the map, and suddenly we were all standing on the shady shores of the Isle of Darkness. The ominous cliff of ice stood before us, in all its ominousness. I realized that ominous was probably considered an upper-level word, and that I probably had at least a 10th grade reading level if I could use it properly in a sentence. Embedded in the ice cliff was a metal door with no handle. There was just something strange about a door with no handle. It was almost as if the person who lived here was saying, "No visitors, please."
It was difficult to see much on the island since dark clouds blanketed the sky above, but there was just enough light for me to notice a large pile of snow on top of the cliff. Any kind of disturbance to the cliff would most likely cause an avalanche that would kill us all. I decided to register that to my long-term memory.
"Fooruman, why does your pogo stick have a hard drive?"
"It is a ONE-WAY pogo stick!" he replied. I decided that would be a good enough answer for the time being.
