choice: Head home!
response:
"Yes! Jystyr is back! Thanks M-" Inori suddenly covered her mouth, remembering that she's probably not supposed to mention the name of another godly being in front of one. "Hey, you can say that," Zeta reassured his sister as he walked past her. "Hah, probably not..." Inori and Zeta both turned to the new goobie that appeared - the one they considered to be Jystyr? But he was so different, he kept on dripping, and his once sparkly goo filled with stars was as dark as the abyss. And despite he performed the grand feats of rising the moon and spreading the stars, then vanquished the Gobbess, he doesn't seem like that friendly goob Zeta heard from the stories.
"Still, having a broken gob is better than none," Inori sighed. Zeta probably knew why. The goobies here now have the Gob, however broken he is, back among them. The Gobbess... they were foes, they couldn't be together in one place. But Inori should be thinking about what happened to Maxrage in Mitardia, that disaster that left their homeland Rapyuta without a guardian.
As Zeta and Inori slowly walked out of the scientists' lab and out into the open, they remembered how wild the ride was. When that giant black goo monster first appeared, the agels dropping asleep and the diabs acting without thinking, Inori clinging onto her faith for Maxrage to stay awake, Zeta fending off the darkness while carrying Wilma away, Sai's sacrifice leading to her being consumed by the darkness; how they stayed at the lab, Zeta going out every day to look for ingredients while his sister Inori turned from disrespecting the specimen to caring for it and Wilma and Sai; how when the black tar arrived Ino bravely stood ground while opening the back door for Zeta to escape... All of that strife, flickering between drowsiness and wakefulness, just to achieve the revival of the gob.
It was worth it, right?
The night sky, though black, was scattered with tiny tealights. Bright, unlike that black goo threatening to swallow everything. Now, Zeta and Inori aren't afraid even when passing through the in-betweens, the dangerous tiles of dark masses too unsafe to gather in. "We finally get to see the moon and stars again," Inori looked up, then back at Zeta, She put one paw on her necklace. "Hey, do you know, when Maxrage was in Rapyuta, the night sky would be red with a blood moon eclipse?"
"Uhh... that's a bit... terrifying..." After seeing Inori trying hard not to smile, Zeta let out a playful laugh. To be frank, he did not want that kind of eternal starless night anywhere, especially at home. "But Ino, that's not gonna happen anytime soon."
"Who knows?"
Zeta and Inori continued their way home. Sure, the skies of Rapyuta are still the normal black scattered with stars when they returned. But even a gob flung into outer space could revive... would a breacher sealed up in another faraway realm stand a chance? Ino would always be expecting that day. As for Zeta...
Maybe save the crimson skies for a later adventure.

goob: Wilma
choice: Freak out!
response:
"Oh my flip, Aaaahh!" the bunny agel jumped onto the roof after seeing the formless black goo splash onto the regal gobbess, swallowing her. Sure, they know that the gobbess had once kicked the gob into outer space, and they have tons of hate against each other, but nobody deserves to be eaten like that! It's just so... scary!
Wilma could here some diabs cheering on the side, that the agels can finally get a taste of their own medicine, for they once drove out and nearly killed the diabs' leader. But Wilma felt uneasy, not because they were an agel or they hate the gob, but the scene of Fallen being swallowed kept replaying in their mind, it was so haunting! What they saw, they didn't consider her to be the gobbess, just... someone... being dissolved in goo only to reform as part of another mysterious entity. What does it feel like? Does it hurt, or you can't even feel the hurt?
"AAAAAAAAHHH!" Wilma bolted out the back door. They didn't even want to see the rest of the story, or say goodbye to Jystyr who just revived. They wanted to go back, to the
Testament, turn all the lights on so there wouldn't be any shadows, curl up with a blanket and stuffed animals beneath the arcade machines, and sleep. Not that cursed sleep forcing her to play games. The kind of sleep that refreshes them and cleans their memories and makes them forget everything that happened. Maybe even with a goolown buddy that can sing them to sleep. Not everyone enjoys these once-in-a-lifetime experiences.

goob: Sai
choice: Make theories
response:
After seeing Wilma bolt straight out, then Zeta and Inori leave with their goodbyes, Sai wandered alone into the mage tower in front of the scientists' lab. The experiences of these goobies were surely terrifying, they should go rest as soon as possible. But not Sai. She was reading.
once, there was a creature...
and he wanted a home,
so he made sky and earth.
and he was lonely,
so he made creatures to live in sky and earth.
and he was one,
so he could not be with them both.
so he split himself in two,
one to rule the sky and one to rule the earth...
her voice trailed off, trembling. She had witnessed the fall of Fallen, how the black goo consumed her... Jystyr and Fallen were once two halves of the same entity, now did they fuse back again? Could the great gob be coming back? No... what she saw didn't resemble the great gob at all. The new form of the gob was lifeless, the black totally dull, the brighter parts ice-cold.
Speaking of Fallen... Fallen's last words, about more goocreatures scattered on other planets, waiting for their destinies... gooble fest is coming, and there is no more gobbess to create goo-offs for them... would these creatures somehow try to find a place here? What would they be like? Like goobies, animalistic like goo-offs, or... something else entirely? Goo-objects? But how can they move and arrive here...
All of that was making Sai's head ache. So she flew out of the mage tower, finding her own destiny.
