Several more hours have passed and it's beginning to get dark outside. All of the unconscious villagers have been moved indoors. They've been placed on mats with lined up against each other. Other villagers with healing skills have been walking around them making sure they are all healthy. The main group is deciding where they will spend the night sleeping.
Joe-"Well we can't stay at Lucious's house again that's for sure"
Marigold-"I'm able to go back to my house. But I don't think you guys will fit"
Elise-"Well Julius has a shrinking skill"
Julius-"That's right, I do have one. I wouldn't want to intrude though"
Adam-"Honestly it seems like you have every single skill I can think of, it feels unfair"
Julius-"Well it's not like I have every skill in the world"
Joe-"Name one skill you don't have"
Julius-"Um..."
Damion-"Is that difficult?"
Julius-"No..."
Joe-"See what I mean?"
Damion-"I don't see how being powerful is a bad thing"
Joe-"Well-"
Elise-"It sounds like you're just jealous of him"
Joe-"It's unfair man, here we are with our couple of skills and he's got a full library of them. I don't think even he knows all the skills he has"
Julius-"I have... an internal catalog"
Adam-"Is that a memory skill or just your memory?"
Julius-"Well I-"
Julius(in his head)-"Are you a skill?"
Voice-"No, also don't tell them about me"
Julius-"Just my memory"
Adam-"Well whatever, we have more important things to be concerned about"
Marigold-"I didn't expect this to turn into this tangent but... even if you use a shrink skill I'm afraid I don't have any extra rooms in my house"
Adam-"I guess I'll just have to make a treehouse again"
Elise-"Just make sure there are plenty of rooms. I've been getting annoyed by your snoring the past couple of days"
Adam-"You're the one who snores"
Elise-"You only say that because you can't hear your own snores"
Adam-"Oh and you can?"
Elise-"Yes of course I can hear your snoring"
Adam-"You- What? no! I was saying you also can't hear your own snoring"
Elise-"Sure you were"
Adam-"How could I not have meant that!?"
Julius-"If you want I can make the house for us to stay in"
Elise-"It'd probably be a lot fancier than Adam's anyway"
Adam-"What is your deal!?"
Adam and Elise continue arguing in the background while Julius talks to the voice.
Julius(in his head)-"Why did you not want me to tell them about you?"
Voice-"They already doubt your claim of being from another world. Telling them that you have a voice inside your head that tells you what to do would likely give them the wrong impression"
Julius(in his head)-"I'm not sure if they actually doubt me being from another world. It could just be them saying it just to tease me. You see how often Adam and Elise get into fights over trivial things, like right now"
Voice-"The only things telling them about me would accomplish is giving them more things to mock you. I see no potential gains for revealing me to them"
Julius(in his head)-"I guess that would be the analytical approach to this. I won't tell them about you"
Voice-"As for your current situation on place of residence. I suggest you construct a small luxurious house with a separate room for everyone"
Julius(in his head)-"Why does it need to be luxurious"
Voice-"Having someone that can build vacation homes on demand is seen as quite the helpful ability for most people. In fact you could build a large mansion if you wanted to"
Julius(in his head)-"I think building a mansion would take a little longer"
Voice-"You'd still complete it far faster than people in your old world. However for now I don't recommend a mansion for this circumstance"
Marigold(shouting)-"Stop it already!"
Julius is stunned by the yell with Adam and Elise turning to look at Marigold.
Marigold-"Seriously you act like small children. You're adults so act like it"
Adam-"Hey I-"
Joe-"I didn't expect that"
Marigold-"Sorry, their complaining was just getting very obnoxious"
Julius(in his head)-"I forgot they were still arguing I had tuned them out"
Damion-"Hey um... so where are we going to stay tonight... I'm fine with sleeping outside"
Joe-"None of us are sleeping in the woods"
Julius-"I can construct a house for us"
Elise-"Sounds simple enough, just make sure my room is far away from Adam's"
Adam-"You are the most frustrating person I've ever met"
Damion-"Didn't we just fight a serial killer who was mind controlling you?"
Adam-"I said the most frustrating. I wouldn't classify people like lu-"
Marigold-"Shhhhh"
Damion-"Sorry"
Adam-"I wouldn't classify... that person... as frustrating. That's more on the authentic hatred and disgust side"
Marigold-"Stop talking about it!"
Adam-"Sorry"
Marigold-"Thank you Julius for creating a place for them to stay"
Julius-"You're welcome, also you can stay there too if you want"
Marigold-"It's okay you don't need to do that"
Julius-"It's alright, I can make the inside pretty fancy too"
Marigold-"Well if you want me to. Alright I accept, thank you.
Julius-"You're welcome"
Marigold-"Sorry that I've been on edge a little bit recently"
Julius-"It's perfectly fine"
Joe-"So where do you want to build this house at"
Julius-"Just out in the woods I guess, or I could make one underground"
Adam-"I think above ground sounds better"
Joe-"I agree"
Julius-"Alright, off into the woods we go then"
Elise-"Is building this house going to be a long process or?"
Julius-"I have no idea, never done it before"
Marigold(in her head)-"I probably should have just stayed in my house"
Adam-"Remember we can't go far away from the village. The people don't trust us right now so we have to stay close by"
Julius-"Alright we'll just be right past the tree line"
The group walks into forest to begin building a very basic temporary home.
