I'M SO LONELY!! #*pause* message_11: text: \nAhem...\! right.\! Now where should I start? message_12: text: \nIn the beginning was me...\! crying in a pod in the middle of space...\! witnessing my home planet blow up right before my eyes. message_13: text: \nI can still remember it all so vividly...\!
Fire...\| Fire...\| everywhere...\| and then darkness. message_14: text: \nWhen I awoke, I found myself in the middle of a desert...\! surrounded by a sea of brown sugar, in a strange land I soon learned to be called \c[11]ORANGE OASIS\c[0]. message_15: text: \nEven as a baby, I knew I was the sole survivor of my species...\! the last elf in the entire universe. #*Party members gather and sit* message_16: text: \n\"So this is how it ends..."\ I thought. message_17: text: \nYet...\! In a stroke of luck, I was found by none other than a young \c[3]DONUT\c[0] by the name of SWEETHEART.\! She brought me to her family and they took me in as one of their own. message_18: text: \nSWEETHEART and I...\! We grew up together. message_19: text: \nIt was a rough childhood.\! We fought frequently, but she would always win...\! If I fought back...\! Well...\! ... message_20: text: \nAnyway! I learned to run!\! And I got quite good at running...\!
But...\! there's only so far you can run. message_21: text: \nYes, it was a hard time.\! But even through that suffering, I stood firm. message_22: text: \nBecause even then, I knew everything had a purpose.\! I was sent to this planet and survived for one reason and one reason only...\! to repopulate my entire species. #*pause* message_23: text: \nThere is a conspicuous gap in my memory after this, so I'll fast-forward a few years. message_24: text: \nAt some point...\! SWEETHEART and I fell deeply in love, became engaged, and moved to this giant castle together! message_25: text: \nWe were inseparable, her and I... and we loved each other dearly!\! I would do anything for her, and I mean anything! message_26: text: \nI was ready to spend the rest of our lives together...\! to grow old...\! and to raise hundreds upon hundreds of children! message_27: text: \nHmm... Thinking about it now, I wonder if I ever made that clear to her. message_28: text: \nAnyway, continuing my story... message_29: text: \nAlas, all good times must come to an end.\! As SWEETHEART's fan base grew, she and I grew apart as well. message_30: text: \nShe began receiving gifts and letters from suitors from all over the universe...\! asking for a chance to prove their love to her. message_31: text: \nBeing her one true love, I was vehemently against this notion! But she wouldn't have it! message_32: text: \n“SWEETHEART is for sharing!” she would say! message_33: text: \n... message_34: text: \nSo...\! one night while I was asleep...\! SWEETHEART and her servants tied me up and sealed me inside the walls of her castle. message_35: text: \nI have been wandering aimlessly through the darkness inside the walls ever since...\! surviving off old TOAST and \c[3]TOFU\c[0]. message_37: text: \nFast-forward a few more years, and that brings us to now! message_38: text: \nYes...\! You four are the first living beings I have seen since that fateful day. message_39: faceset: MainCharacters_DreamWorld faceindex: 47 text: \herWow, sir.\!
