Yes, of course it scares me! I never hated any of you!

[This year, at least.]

I want them back more than anything! I don't want to leave them behind to face whatever the rock spirit might want to do with them! But I'm already selling my soul to the devil just for the chance to save the twenty-eight of you from this year! There's just not enough left of me to offer up as a sacrifice for more than that!

[-!]

Twenty eight.

[That's their original number. Not...]

[She may have said too much.]

It's best to be prepared for any possibility.

[...

He releases a soft, soft sigh of relief.]

...Why didn't you just say that from the beginning?

Because intentions mean nothing. Results do. And since I can't promise you beyond certainty that I can get results, then I shouldn't get your hopes up with intentions.

[killtheanimals]

[Red he wants to shake you right now.

(But also maybe hug? Ugh, Richie's rubbing off on him.)]

If we know your intent, we can try to learn what you need to know ourselves.

Unless you're trying to suggest any one of us here is going to be able to pull off a miracle alone.

[Don't hug her right now that would be weird.

But she's still frowning.]

Seeing as how it will take about ten miracles for this to work? Definitely not.

[killtheanimals]

[Yeah no kidding.]

There's still more than ten of us, so that's a little less than a miracle each.

[He's... probably feeling a little bit better at least, if he can make a joke like that.]

A good number of us have powers of our own that we can put to use as well.
