seeing a certain somebody woke up ol' harry here

You're not gonna replace me if there's a... "new me", right?

[Of course not, but I do hope you're done some justice if there is.]

Fair enough. [That might have been the tiniest breath of relief in the midst of Harry trying to play it off all cool. He likes being the favorite for once. That doesn't need to change. Right? Right.] So... does this mean I get a break from dying of boredom in your headspace?

Yeah, yeah, I get it. You were busy with school, and now life is kind of throwing you around. But c'mon. You're killing me here. I could use some friendly faces. Or... I dunno - an adventure or something? A nice one, though. I don't want to go back to Torture Town.

[Well, I don't know, Harry. You drive a pretty hard bargain.]

Gee. I didn't know being nice to me was so hard for you. [Cue eyeroll.]

nooo you're not allowed to turn that on me :|

[Change? Ah yes, Harry changed by leaps and bounds during his time there, and it was mainly in his psyche. A psychotic break'll do that to you.]

Well... [He takes a deep breath, like he could burst out hours of detail on the place. And oh, could he ever.] It had a bunch of nasty rivers, and a market place, and a creepy forest full of monsters. And a huge maze - also with monsters. Oh, and every month, the vengeful goddess that ran the place would put us through some horrific ordeal. Like, uh. One time, she decided our decision-making was too selfish and blew up a planet full of people, then made us live with the sensations and images of what the people on that planet were going through as they died.

[He sounds... way too nonchalant about it. In fact, anyone with any decent measure of ability for reading body language could see Harry's just putting on a front. It had messed him up, it still haunts him, and he's already itching to down a glass of whiskey to drown out the memory.]

If that's your idea of colorful... Then, oh yeah. A whole rainbow, that place.
