"Now that you're unconcious that means I can tell the rest of the story right?"
"Don't get comfortable, Croak. Once we left the valley I came back to; if you remember correctly."
"And if you remember correctly you were out for three adventures. So basically that means three verses you weren't able to criticize, three places we get through faster and three pieces we were able to obtain easier."
"It was actually two and a half adventures, Croak; now that it comes back to me. Also, I heard that you had even worse luck without me. So what are you trying to say about me?"
"Uhh nothing. I wasn't criticizing you personally but more your character! Uhh, I mean your abilities? Skillset? Please stop coming at me with that knife. I just meant your ability to distinguish actual truth out of any situation. It's almost as if you want to crumble others around you...unintentionally!!"
"Croak, you're digging yourself a hole so deep that even a giraffe couldn't climb out."
"Hopper, please don't get mad at me, I was just telling the truth. I swear. Drop that knife right now.! Hopper DROP THE KNIFE!! Please don't cut me open. Please don't cut me open."
"Cut you open? Why would I want to...oohh. You saw the red stains on my knife. That's just cherry juice I cut up. I was just over there cutting the pies. I could never hurt you or be mad at you. In fact I thank you for your utmost honesty even though the consequences might've been grim. Shows the quality of a true friend. It's just that you have a different way of storytelling so I umm don't know what came over me. Sorry. I can sit by and listen to your retelling only because I wasn't awake to tell it myself."
"If that's your way of saying I'm sorry then I'll take it. I am sorry for what I said just now. Back to the story. Take a seat and I shall continue."
"No thanks. I got stuff to finish baking for tomorrow. Restaurants can't run themselves."
"Actually they can. Robots!!! Soon they'll take over the world."
"Croak!"
"Ohh...you don't like hearing that stuff. Sorry. Let's continue. There you lay all peaceful and innocent on the valley floor. After we disembouled and masquerated the monster we came back to stand by your side and plan our next move."
"Pastor, how long do you think Hopper will be out?"
"It's tough to say. The hit isn't what knocked him out though. It's the fact that he fell to the ground and stopped is what knocked him out. You have to keep moving in here or else; because if you stop for even a second then the valley will try to hold you in a deep sleep so it can take your spirit from you without you knowing."
"So why hasn't Hopper's spirit left him and his body turn to dust?"
"His spirit has left him but not his body because we're too close to the mouth of the valley and sun. When we go further in then I can't promise anymore."
"So Hopper is trapped in a world full of monsters and scary creatures with no way out? No one knows their language so I hope he's fine."
'I wouldn't worry about him. He's actually safer where he is at then where we are now. But there is a way we can get Hopper back."
"How?"
"By retrieving the one piece we need."
"Again sir. We are not Hopper so I ask again. How?"
