'Oslo? No actual way! It is you!'

Flint looks quite a bit older too, still skinny but less on the verge of starvation, still very pale but less sickly-looking, much less dirty and ragged, and still with his trademark awkward grin.

He rushes over to hug Oslo, almost knocking him over

'Oslo? No actual way! It is you!'

Flint looks quite a bit older too, still skinny but less on the verge of starvation, still very pale but less sickly-looking, much less dirty and ragged, and still with his trademark awkward grin.

He rushes over to hug Oslo, almost knocking him over

 Oslo hugs back, still very surprised but very happy to see Flint. "What are you doing here?"

'There was a portal in the sewers. It led me here. I can't believe it, you've grown up so much! How are you?'

 Oslo needs to see Flints face and make sure its really him, so he pulls away and puts his hands on Flints shoulders. "I'm actually pretty good thanks! You've caught me at a... strange time, but other than that, I'm great! How are you? How are things back at the store? And how the hell did you get over to this island?"

'I fell. The void bounced me back here. Things are great back at the store! Ya remember that girl Ashleigh, the one who was on the run from a demon and went into hiding in the sewers? We're married now, got a kid. And we moved up to the surface, run a tavern together!'

 "Wow, that's a lot! I've got a family of my own now too, but they're back in the normal world."

'What are you doing here?'

'What are you doing here?'

 "That's... complicated." He turns to look at the statue. Now you're close to it, you can see it's shaped like a lightning bolt. "This things been creating portals all over the place. Scaring people, teleporting children, the like. I partly live down here now, got some grandparents here too, so I thought it best that I destroy this statue and stop the portals. But it doesn't seem to want to break."

'I'd try to help ya break it, but ya know I've hardly got the strength of an orc. Anything I can do?'

 "I don't know, didn't really expect you to be here." He looks down at Hamy. "Why'd you bring him here boy?"

Hamy just sits there with his tongue hanging out.

'I guess maybe Hamy just wanted to be with Hi, and I was dragged along for the ride. They still seem to be good friends.'

"That's good. But Hamy could have transported himself and Hi here at any point."

'Really? What is he, a blink dog?'

"Not exactly. He can just teleport himself and one other creature, as long as its not bigger than himself, to me at any point. It's to do with my weird powers." He smiles, almost laughing.

'Cool! So he could teleport back, get us some noodles, and teleport back here with them?'

"That's the thing. He can only teleport to me, not away from me. So he must have actually made his own way to the store, and then for some reason lead you here, as he couldn't teleport you."

'Weird, huh? Maybe it's to do with these portals? And why would he want me here? I mean, does he really want a Flint and Oslo reunion that badly?' Flint laughs

 Oslo laughs along with you. "I wouldn't be surprised, we both do miss the good old days." He pets Hamy. "Anyways, now you're here, I might actually have an idea..."

'What kinda idea?' Flint's eyes light up

"Okay, this is gonna sound strange, but I'm going to need you to take this to the top of the statue." He pulls out a metal rod. "Hold it just above the statue, but make sure not to touch it with your bare skin. Make sure to stay strong, don't freak out and jump down, no matter what happens, or someone could get hurt. When I say 'drop', drop the rod towards me and get the hell off of the statue. Got it?"
