- - -Video Journal: Day 4

I just had a long day. Well, I'm in a bad mood. I just found out that I'm screwed, the universe is screwed, everyone is screwed! Or I could kill myself. Great options, right? You know what, why am I even talking about this on camera? I don't need to journal about every little thing. No one's gonna ever watch this. So screw this, screw everything. Good night everybody, if I care I'll write about it tomorrow.




- - -Day 5- - -

Okay, I'm sorry about yesterday's journal. I was angry, I was tired. I overreacted, okay? Look... it's complicated. Yesterday, we met with Twilight. I'll be quick, because I still don't really like to think about it. Also on a bit of a time crush for reasons that will become apparent.
I texted Millie back and forth for awhile. She wanted to sleep over, but we didn't have time to arrange it. Oh well, we were able to talk at school the next day. Best part of the day: When I told Caleb that I actually did have a plan. The look on his face, I wish I took a picture. Even more so when he had to admit that my MLP suggestion was spot on. Ha, take that! Anyways, we argued for awhile about how I was being a sore winner, but Millie stepped between us. 
"Guys, if we do find her, we need to be ready. I don't want you two squabbling like siblings during this. Can you at least TRY to form a truce?" She said.
I saw the logic and reluctantly agreed, much as I wanted to rub my victory in Caleb's face a bit more. He agreed as well. We caught up on the stories the three of us had with Twilight, so we were all up to date. Millie fought a mega timberwolf, by the way. Makes my story seem boring, really. I fight one, she fights, like, a zillion along with Twilight. Lucky girl. 
Then... the confrontation. My plan, by the way, was to use telekinesis. I theorized that the link might not be gone, since none of the other magic had left. So I thought it was likely that the telekinetic bond would still be there as well. Lo and behold, I was right! It took me a few tries. I thought I could feel another consciousness, but I couldn't be certain, as I had only used the power once before. No answer. I tried asking, pleading... and nothing. After 3 tries, I was just about ready to give up. She probably wasn't there. I told them as such.
"Hey, it didn't work! Maybe you didn't have such a great strategy after all!" Collin said.
That gave me the boost I needed. I can handle my own failure, but Caleb's scorn? No way. Then, I came up with a strategy, on the spot. I realized Twilight's biggest surprise in all of this was Twilight's not knowing anything, and if the show is correct, then Twilight might need to know. If there was anything that would convince her, if she was listening, it would be that. So I explained the entire MLP show from the start to around season 4. I would have gone all the way, but I started getting a massive headache. I had this the whole time, so I might be a bit vague after this. So I stopped and said something like "If you want to know how I know all this, please, just respond." Or something like that. I don't remember it well through the headache. I waited. And she actually responded. "I'm here! I'm here. Just... how do you know? How could you possibly know everything about me?"
We agreed to meet at a location we later found out to be the point the portal formed. I'm telling this out of order to save time. Also... I still don't want to talk about this part. After a bit of awkward small talk, the conversation shifted over to our magic, which Twilight didn't even know we still had, as I kind of expected. I mean, why would she go out of our way to make us think it was a dream only to make it incredibly obvious it isn't when we find that magic is real? The cutie marks are just a product of the magic, apparently. She brushed that part aside. After some... tests... she asked us to bring in Elliot. I'm willing to talk about that, I guess.
It was actually pretty entertaining. So there we are, 3 untrustful allies, going up to Millie's best friend. Elliot was like, "Guys, what the heck is going on? You all sneak out into the woods during lunch every day and expect me not to notice?"
Millie pretty much said "Yeah, about that... well, we can't tell you, but we have to blindfold you and lead you deep in the woods and we can't say why. So, you up for it?"
Ethan laughed. He thought we were joking. Seeing our faces, he said the world's most cliche line: "Wait, you're being serious?" It reminded me of a conversation I've seen in many-a-story. Anyways, after a bit of convincing, he agreed to come with us. What a pal! I mean, I would have run far away in fear of them murdering me in the woods blindfolded, but he was way too trusting. Mostly he trusted Millie, as they're best friends. In an alternate universe, I'm sure we brought him into the woods because we were vampires and we sucked his blood in the middle of the woods. But in this one, we took him to a unicorn and had the unicorn preform spells on him. Honestly, I'm not sure which would have been weirder. The point is, he's lucky that we were trustworthy as well.
Not sure what spells Twilight used, but the end result was her sending Elliot away without a word. We brought him back, and were like "K, let's never speak of this again" and casually walked away. He just had a strange day.
When we came back, Twi was distraught. This was for good reason. I've been beating around the bush for awhile, but here goes: Us having magic will attract monsters to us, and possibly ruin the universe. Oh, and we can't get it out of us. Hence my breakdown yesterday. After that, we told Twi of her TV show status, and we left, after a bit more conflict. Caleb and I may have argued a little bit, I don't even remember what about. It was a bad headache, as I said. Mostly I've gotten amazing memory from the magic, but my memories from yesterday are blurry at best. I could go into little more detail, I guess, but I don't want to dwell on that day. I'm sure it's understandable, I found out I'm screwed, and I don't have any camp half-blood to go to. I hope someone gets the reference.
I got to bed quickly, no parkour needed. I was already tired after that massive telekinetic spree. I guess I basically need to drain my magic reserves to get to bed. Good to note. So the next day... Wake. Shower. YouTube. School. So at when I to school... 
Wait. I forgot something I did before school! I guess I'm too used to skipping over that part. Yeah, I actually did something, for once. It was a conversation between my mom: 
"I have a question, out of the blue." I said.
"Sure, what is it," she said.
"I'm curious, how would you react if I told you that by the way, magic is real, and I have it?" She looked at me curiously. "It's on a story I want to write." Cutie mark, I'm a writer, remember? All the more proof I'm in a fanfic, since all the main characters in fanfics seem to be writers there. But that's irrelevant.
Anyways, she responded with "Are you sure you want to make this into a story? I don't know, seems weird, don't you want to use fictional characters?"
"It's just an idea. Humor me, will you?"
"Sure. Let's see, it would be very difficult. Say you could move things with your mind, I would have to be able to choose the time and chose the object, or I might think it's just stage tricks. Big claims require big proof. Just saying, It's easy to believe that you're just using some kind of stage magic than real stuff.
Well, crap. I think. "Wow, you'd be hard to convince! Might have to make the character easier to convince."
She laughed. "Well, if you weren't going to use my advice, then why'd you ask?" I didn't laugh with her. If I ever need her to know, how do I convince her I'm not just good at parkour? That I actually have Powers? I can't summon wings on command, after all. I haven't been able to summon them since Tuesday night, actually, although I never did get a chance to try since then. I might have to tell her quite soon, as you'll see by the end, and I really don't know how.
Then, I went to school. First thing, Millie met me at the door. She pushed me aside and looked me right in the eyes. "You are insufferable. I was able to keep my cool yesterday, weather I felt it or not, and you and Caleb just bicker like a bunch of 3-year-olds throughout!" 
"Yeah, something you should know before you complain at me any further: I had a searing headache throughout the meeting, and I have no idea what I might have said. You're welcome, by the way, me having that headache was because that's how I made Twilight show up. I'm sorry if I was rude at the time, but I have an excuse."
"Well... you don't have to act all high and mighty about it. I might have felt sorry for you, but then you decide to rub it in my face? Geez, sometimes you're a real jerk." And before I had a chance to defend myself, she walked away. Okay, maybe I chose my words poorly, but that was uncalled for. Millie might not be as bad as Caleb, and to a bystander you might think we're still friends, but we aren't. It was her who started it, anyways. After we drove Caleb away accidentally TOGETHER, I think she somehow blamed me and started resenting me. So my two best friends were lost in a week. And here I am now, telling my woes to a microphone, since I have no one else. Whoopee. I guess I could tell Twi, but she has a lot to worry about already.
Okay, enough moping. But seriously, how did both of my ex-friends end up in this with me in this mess? A bully would be bad to be with, yes, But I know how to ignore them after years of being the number one target. These guys, though, sure know how to push my buttons. one saving grace is that I at least know how to push theirs, right?
Where was I? Oh, yeah. So, school went as normal. Still boring, of course. I feel like I'm repeating myself, but it is boring. I mean, I might need to go to a different school and go up a few grades if I run out of books to read! It's that boring! Anyways, lunch eventually rolled around, and we prepared to go outside.
First, though, we spoke with Elliot. Well, I did. Millie didn't want him involved, and Caleb is indifferent toward him, and didn't care either way. But I felt he should know. So as the other two were busy, I pulled him aside. 
I didn't tell him everything, but I told him some stuff. I said he probably wouldn't believe me, but we seem to be living out one of the stories that Millie and him always tell. Not to a tee, but something similar. "You won't believe me, I know it. I just want to give you some explanation to why we're leaving you alone.
Some backstory: Before this week, pretty much the only thing the two of them, Millie and Elliot, used to do was write a comic. They had a gigantic universe with a ton of rules and planets and it crossed over with just about everything, it was pretty cool. It's kinda like her cutie mark: the two of them always talk, and their words become stories. So I told him that we seemed to be in a story like that, but he wasn't a part of it. I didn't give any specifics, but I told him he didn't want to get involved, or he might suffer hardship and heartbreak. And... he actually understood. I didn't expect it to work, but he believed me. I believe his response was:
"Alex, we've been friends for years, and I know you aren't lying. You truly are living out some fantasy you won't share the details to. I mean, yes, I'm shocked, but if you aren't lying, than I'll let you go. Hey, though: if you need me for anything, or if you were lying all along, tell Millie I'm still here, as a friend."
He is the nicest person I've ever met. I'm sure that even if the three of us leave, he should be able to find more friends. Much as an ass Millie can be, she makes Elliot happy. I hope Elliot finds another friend as good as her. Which leads me to my previous point: WHY COULDN'T IT HAVE BEEN HIM WHO GOT A DOSE OF MAGIC INSTEAD OF CALEB????" I mean, I don't want to give magic to him now, now that we know what it does to a person. But I still like him better than the other two combined. Well, beggars can't be choosers. I wanted to be a hero, and I am, but I'm stuck with two asshoofs and I have a high probability of death. Yay me. 
Then, we met Twilight in the same spot as before, deep in the woods. There was a bit of awkward back and forth, well, a LOT of awkward back and forth, because we all had things we really didn't want to talk about. It was really awkward, and because I don't want this to go any longer than it has to I won't say the whole thing aloud. Eventually I decided enough was enough. "Guys, clearly all of us are dancing around what we don't want to talk about. Can we get on to other things?"
The other three agreed. It was a bit too soon to talk about this. This took about 10 minutes to get to this point, by the way. You're welcome for cutting it out. Anyways, now I'll go into direct conversation mode.
"So if we don't talk about that, what do we talk about?" asked Caleb.
I looked at Twilight. She didn't need a mental link to know what I meant. "Yeah, I get it. You want me to talk about how to use the magic here. You want to know, in case we really do come across monsters."
She was about to start the speech, but Caleb interrupted. "Wow, how did you know that's what he was thinking? I didn't get that at all. Did you use your mental bond or something?"
"No," I said. "I thought it would be pretty obvious, all things considered."
I was actually surprised when Millie spoke up. "It really wasn't, Alex. I thought you meant that Twilight should talk about her backstory!" Collin nodded in agreement.
"Actually," Twilight said, "I might have an explanation for that. Forming a telekinetic bond is extremely difficult. The two beings it's between must have a very similar brain type, similar hobbies, and so on. That's why I didn't talk to you two through that kind of bond. Well, I didn't have the time to, either, but even if I had the time I couldn't have linked the minds. It's a lot easier to make it seem like a dream without me being in physical contact. Alex was the only one who fit the brain type. It's actually quite lucky he did at all! It's estimated that one in a hundred people will close enough to be able to link in a telekinetic bond. That being the case, it's only natural we can communicate without talking, we think alike. It isn't the bond that lets us talk without thinking, it's the fact we can talk without thinking that lets us form a bond!"
Silence.
"Twilight," I said, "that was a lot of exposition."
Twilight suddenly looked down at the ground. "O-oh. I'm sorry."
Why's she so... Oh, literary tem, right. "Uh, I'm sorry Twilight. I didn't mean it like that. You're clearly real. I didn't mean to... I'm sorry." That's the problem with me: I always speak without thinking. How could I not realized that would remind her that she's a character from a book here?
"No, it's okay. I know you didn't mean it like that. I'm just still sensitive about that, okay? I want to know why I'm just a character in this world. I know I'm not, but I don't want to keep being reminded of it, okay?" Rats, no more breaking the forth wall blatantly in front of them, or she might take it the wrong way. No, I shouldn't joke about it. I'd be angry if I found out I was just a character from a video game or something.
"So why are we talking about the magic and not her backstory? That would make more sense, wouldn't it?" said Caleb.
Actually, I'm surprised Caleb didn't yell at me there for being and idiot. He... actually tried to be... nice? I guess he was showing he was the better man or something. Clever. Or... maybe... he was really being nice. Whatever the case, he actually tried to help us move on from that. Weird, not at all like him.
"It was just the first thing I thought of. We'd been talking about magic for the last ten minutes, it made sense to maybe finally explain how to use the magic rather than think of the ramifications of using it. It made sense at the time, but yeah, it makes more sense to talk about that."
"Oh, okay. I guess that makes sense." Dang, what did Millie tell Caleb to make him behave? It's like he's a whole new person! Or... the person he once was... okay, no more reminiscing. This is important.
"Okay," Twilight said, "Here's the story of how I got here."
"Took you long enough," muttered Millie.
"Hypocrite," Collin and I muttered back, simultaneously. Wow, same thought at the same time? Twice in two days? As I said, this isn't normal.
Twilight heard none of this. "So it all started five days ago, I believe. I was sitting in ponyville in my castle. I trust you know about what that is?" Millie and I nod, but Caleb shakes his head.
"I haven't watched the show," he says.
Twilight blinks. "Oh, I guess that makes sense. Okay, I'll be brief. I'm a princess in the dimension I'm from, and I own a castle due to circumstances far too complicated to go over here. I've lived in for a few moons, now. I was hanging out, when my cutie mark flashed on my flank. That means, by the way, that the map had called me, for the first time! Well, other than when we were all called to Starlight. Okay, what I mean by that is..."
I tuned her out while she explained what the map meant. I turned to Millie. "The first time? What?" I muttered.
Millie shook her head. "I don't know."
For those who don't know, the map called Twilight late in season 5, along with Fluttershy, for the first time. So it's really weird she said it was the first time. We didn't have time to think much about it, though, because Twilight had finished her explanation of the map and continued her story.
"The map was calling me to the everfree forest, oddly enough. It's a dangerous, nearly uninhabited place. The others wanted to come with, but if the map wanted me to come alone, I would come alone. It's dangerous, yes, but I can handle the forest. I've gone through it before in worse conditions. I thought maybe it was Zecora in a friendship problem, or some other being living in the woods, so I went towards Zecora. I could handle the woods in practice as well. They don't scare me anymore. I had a bit of a run-in with a bunch of timberwolves, but I still had strong magic and quickly drove them away. About 40 of them dove into a hole nearby. I was about to keep going towards zecora, but I thought, what if someone was trapped down there or something? Maybe it wasn't the friendship problem, but who knows? I decided to check it out, no harm done. I can fight off a bunch of timberwolves easily."
"I jump in, and the next thing I know I have arms instead of hooves, and there are a bunch of really angry timberwolves before me. And the portal I just came through is gone. And I can't use magic. Well... it was weird. I could feel magic flowing through me. In the other universe, I knew there was magic, but I had no appendages to use it with. This isn't the first time I became a human, by the way. Anyways, here, I can use magic, but the air seems to actively resist me, so it essentially amounted to the same thing at the time. I had no choice but to run. Then I met with Caleb, who seemed to be a vessel of magic. It was like in a world for anti-magic devices, humans are oases of magic. That's why I can cast some spells, but not others: I seem to only be able to use spells that directly effect another human, or it won't work. Oh, and you guys can do anything with your powers. I don't exactly know why, but the air doesn't resist you."
"Anyways, I meet up with Caleb. It was fairly simple, other than the fact he couldn't see the wolves, and you two could. I don't really know what that was about. I gifted him fire magic, since that's a spell I know. It's a temporary buff you can give to other pony types to allow them to manipulate the elements, but it only lasts an hour or so, similar to the spell that allowed Rarity to get wings. I mean, it didn't wear off, but I didn't know that, of course. Afterwards, I made him sleep and did a very specific spell on him. The gist of it is the spell drains the user's resources to bring the victim back to a certain point in time and reset their environment to make it seem as if it was a dream. I also mixed in a magic suppressant so that by the time it wore off, the magic would've as well. I know, that seems very complicated, but I wanted to go to great lengths to make sure I didn't change this world forever. Great I did with that."
"After that, I realized I was lost. I had no idea where the portal was. I took a wrong turn somewhere along the way, and I was stuck wandering the woods. Eventually, I came upon Alex, with a timberwolf behind him. He didn't even notice, he was too engrossed in his book. He reminded me of myself. That's when I had my epiphany: I read once it was easier to convince someone their experience was a dream if it's through telekinesis. Seeing him reading like that, I thought there was a chance we'd be able to form a bond. Lo and behold, we were similar enough our brains were able to connect. I also gave him a vision spell, so he could see the wolf. I still don't know if him seeing the wolf was one way or the other because I cast that spell, but that's why I wasn't surprised when he could see it. When he knew my name, I assumed it had something to do with the telekinesis or something. I was confused, but the real confusion didn't come until I met with Millie. So I tried to give him fire magic, but he got agility instead for whatever reason. I mean, it worked, but it wasn't my goal. I still don't know why he got agility instead, maybe it had to do with... I don't know, I really don't understand magic here. So after that, I made Alex sleep. It was easier, less stuff to erase from memory. I knew he would believe it was a dream much easier."
I couldn't help but butt in. "Kinda ironic, considering I was the first to find out it wasn't a dream."
"Ahem," she said. "After that, I decided to follow the wolf, secretly. Lo and behold it lead me straight to the place the portal was. I guess it wanted back as much as I did. I got to the portal, and I started trying to reopen it. Then Millie showed up behind me. This must be a quite popular forest, unfortunately for me. Whatever, we fought to wolves, and then the giant wolf. I once again tried to give fire magic, as that would be most effective, but it didn't really work once again. Millie had the genius idea of leading it to the ice, and it the wolf froze over. Honestly, it looked like an action shot in some books I've read. It was really cool. Rainbow totally would've fangirled. When it was frozen and unable to move, I was able to 'gift the wolf fire magic. I said that humans are oases of magic, but the wolves had some magic of their own. So, I did the same spell I used on Caleb, and the wolf's body couldn't take it. It burned into a pile of ash. Then, I used the last of my magic to get Millie back to where she was. It was draining, replacing all of those trees, but I thought it would be worth it. I mean, it wasn't worth it, seeing as the magic didn't wear off, but it might've. Then, I basically cast a heat spell on myself so I didn't freeze to death, and passed out. 
"For the past 3 days I've been trying to try various methods to... to get home. I want to get back to my friends, I want to solve whatever problem's in the everfree forest. But there's nothing I can do but wait and hope it reopens again. You guys came yesterday, of course, so that broke the pace a little. But... my friends are probably worried sick about me. I mean, they knew I was in the everfree forest, but I've been gone a long time. I hope it doesn't take 30 moons to reopen again.
So now you know how I got here, and why I'm so intent on staying in this spot. I hope that answers your questions."
Silence. Again.
Finally, Millie speaks, carefully, thinking over every word. "Twilight, how's Starlight back at your world?" There were about 7 things I wanted to talk about, I guess that was a good place to start.
Twilight gives a confused look. "That's your question, about how a wanted criminal's doing? How would I know? I haven't seen her in moons. I don't know. Don't you have any other questions?"
This is bad. We don't just have Twilight, we have mid-season 5 Twilight. That means this might be Starlight's fault or something. That also means we've seen her future. I've watched doctor who, and this is a very bad thing. Millie seems to be about to reveal the fact we've seen her future, but I butt in. "'I have to cut off her hand. Why? Because you read it in the book and now it has to happen.' Do you understand me?" I was referencing a very powerful moment in doctor who a few seasons back, by the way. It was about how one character finds a book that tells the future, but because it tells the future that future becomes set in stone. As I hoped, Millie suddenly gets it, and shuts her mouth. Caleb also suddenly got it as well. Huh, I guess he watches Doctor Who. Who knew.
Twilight saw this exchange and was incredibly confused. "...What?"
Millie and Caleb try to speak, but I spoke the loudest. "If you want to know, I know I can't hide it from you, but for now other things are more important. It's best to not think about it. Like... REALLY best to not think about it."
Twilight saw the look it my eyes and saw that I was incredibly serious about this. "Well, okay then. Um... actually, you guys never showed me your cutie marks. Would you mind turning you shirts back?" I saw she was trying her best to change the subject. Wow, willing to sacrifice knowledge for making people happy? Best friend a girl could ask for. I mean, a guy could ask for. I was thinking about the show, whoops. My bad.
Anyways, the three of us quickly agreed. Anything to not break space-time, right? It was a bit chilly, it wasn't exactly warm out. Winter, frozen lakes, you know. Still, I turned it inside-out. As I said a few days ago, it's an earth-like planet being built by a hammer. Millie's was of the bottom half of a speech bubble and the top half of a book. And Caleb's was just... a... fire? Seeing them all together, something clicked in my mind. "Hey Caleb, what does your mark represent?"
Caleb gave me a confused look. "Um... I think it means my affinity with fire. What else would it mean?"
"Yeah, Alex," Twilight said. "That seems quite obvious."
"Well then, why do I not have a cutie mark about parkour? Why does Millie not have a mark representing magical blasts?" I said.
Everyone is stunned for a moment.
Twilight then says something she didn't say yesterday: "Hey, when I scanned him, it was a weaker magic than everyone else! I wonder if that has anything to do with it?"
Then Caleb's mental gears started turning. "Wait, didn't you say that the fire spell only worked for me, and the other two got another completely random result? What the heck does all this mean?" He was more baffled than angry his magic was weaker than the rest of ours.
We all think for a moment. Then, Twilight has an idea. "What if... nah, never mind."
"What is it?" I ask.
"It's nothing. Just a guess, no real evidence behind it."
"Well, I know you Twilight, like it or not, and I've seen you a lot. I also know that your guesses are usually right. So, what is it?"
"Well... what if it's because I forced the magic onto him instead of letting it flow?"
"Huh?" the three of us say at the same time.
"Well, back in equestria, it's always best to form the magic into a specific shape to use it, or who knows what might happen. But here, it might be the opposite. As in, it might be better to just let the magic flow. It seemed to fill your bodies up, after all. It might be comparable to forcing orange juice in your bodies, when they try their best to drink the apple juice. That would explain why, the only time I shaped the magic to my desires, it ended out worse... but it's just a guess."
"...That was oddly specific for a guess, Twi." I said.
"Yeah, well, it is. It just seems to fit all of the data so far."
"I wonder if that has anything to do with-" I said.
"Guys, STOP!" said Millie. "This is getting ridiculous! Look, there are a lot of mysteries here, but maybe this isn't the best place to talk about it. Look, it's almost time for the next class to start." She turned to Twilight. "How long do you think it will take for the portal to open?" I honestly don't know where she got this drive. She was fairly quiet throughout the time, then she's suddenly super outgoing. I don't know, maybe this magic is changing me, too. I hope not.
"I-I don't know. I can only do spells on humans, remember?"
"Well then why don't you cast a spell that lets us check instead?"
"Well, I... actually, that's a great idea. Why didn't I think of that?"
Oh, crap, look at the time! Okay, long story short, Millie was gifted the power to test how long until the portal opens We eventually, eventually, found out it would open again this Monday. Twilight was incredibly happy. "Just three more days? That's amazing! I was afraid it wouldn't open for 30 moons! This is great news! I just have to hang out here until-"
Then Millie threw in her big, game-changing suggestion. "Then how about we all stay at one house for the weekend?"
"What?" The three of us say at the same time. Dang, Caleb and I really need to desync, people might think we're friends again.
"You heard me. We already have a lot to digest, and there are even more mysteries around the corner. We can't do this just by standing here for an hour daily. You might be leaving soon (gesturing at Twilight), but we're stuck with these powers, like it or not. So maybe we should stay together for the weekend and figure things out."
Caleb and I reluctantly agreed. Twi was also reluctant, but for a very different reason. She also agreed in time. "So, who's house do we stay at?" Millie then said.
"I assumed you were volunteering your own?" Caleb said.
"No, I just have a big project due next period and I'm already late and I want this done quick."
"Well, I can't do it. No way my dad would let it happen on such short notice."
Three heads swiveled towards me. I didn't have an excuse.
And that's the story of why I have 3 guests coming over later tonight. Actually, in 3 minutes by now. Maybe there'll be another entry explaining even more after this meeting, like why Caleb's being more cooperative. Maybe Caleb will get better magic or something. Maybe I'm foreshadowing the next entry. Who knows? All I know is that I don't have any more time to talk about the conclusion or the rest of the day or anything like that, because they're due in 2 and a half minutes. Okay, nothing else to report, like I didn't talk for long enough already, goodbye!
