"This bout of idiocy is most likely caused by the apparent exhaustion that one experiences when walking all over the world and defeating a hundred monsters while not a single day seems to have passed," I explained. Fooruman nodded. "I say a nap is in order!" I said solemnly. I then walked over to Fooruman and asked for a more in-depth description of his pogo stick.
"The ARCANE POWERS of my mystical one-way pogo stick include, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, bouncing up, and only up!"
"Does that mean you can actually remain floating in mid-air while activated and then jump further up from there.. you know," I inquired as I kicked Fawriel off the pier behind me.
"Yes, you've summed it up quiet nicely, my good woman," the archmage replied. "You can bounce higher and higher and higher, until you reach the highest point of the highest place on the highest planet in the highest galaxy!"
"Neat, I guess. Hey, since you technically should be in charge of the de-evilisation process on Antifoo, do you have any idea when will it end or whether is there a way to bypass the magic tape?"
He shook his head. "I think I'd rather just travel the world in my canoe than go back to that place. It's like every retired man's dream, except I'm doing it in a canoe instead of a recreational vehicle. I'm more original, thx."
"Let's all blame Adam before the demon hordes are upon us," I declared, then dragged everyone North to speak with the Canadian man. Fawriel crawled out of the sea and joined us, though somewhat soggier than he was before.
"Canadian guy!" I called out in a friendly manner. "What are your thoughts on Friedrich Nietzsche's views of good and evil?" The Canadian simply stood there, a bit of drool hanging on the edge of his mouth. "Personally," I continued, "I believe that an action can only be considered evil if it slows the progression of mankind or interferes with the satisfaction of another's urges. Because if you think about it, what are we but the sum of our urges? Can we really consider ourselves to be anything but puppets to the universe if we don't live by our own rules?" He continued to stare and drool. I turned to face the rest of my group. "Who's hungry?"
