Hathor Topanga: Okay, so, none of us were born on the Higher Planes but we do live there. Out of all of us, I'm the only immortal. Blame mum. Anyway, as "mortals" who spend a lot of time in the Higher Planes, we've had our fair share of weirdness.

Maddie Auge: Oof! Ain't that the truth!

Imogene Nura: Girl, "weirdness" is the BIGGEST understatement.

H.T.: Yes, well, I was trying to not scare off any potential listeners.

Troy Davis: Too late for that.

H.T.: [sigh]

Isaiah Kai: We have seen some strange things and had our fair share of adventures. Our lives have been in peril many times but we always find a way to survive.

I.N.: Do you always have to be so dramatic?"

[pause]

I.K.: Yes.

I.N: Ugh.

Sky Hawkins: Back on topic. Travel through the Higher Planes is dangerous at best, deadly at worst. You have to know how to defend yourself and survive under difficult circumstances.

T.D.: Yes, survival is key. If you don't know any self-defense, don't travel in the Higher Realms.

I.N.: If you can't stand the heat, get out of the fire.

M.A.: Said the Firebringer.

I.N.: Ha ha. Very funny.

H.T.: While some of the worlds on the Higher Planes, and throughout Yenari for that matter, are kind and happy places, there are always places where visitors are seen as a threat. It's best to avoid those places. Seriously, you don't want to be captured. Not everyone will let you leave.

[pause]

I.N.: So, what was that you were saying about not scaring off potential listeners?

M.A.: Yeah, that got randomly dark.

H.T.: It's true, right?

I.K.: That it is.

S.H.: Living on the Higher Planes is pretty interesting, as well. Lyriumia and Terpola, the God Worlds, are very cool places and have areas that are nice to live on. Even Terpola these days.

H.T.: Thank Xix for that!

S.H.: However, everyone we've met on the Higher Planes has some sort of power or defense abilities. We know what we're doing, so do a lot of people we're know.

T.D.: If you don't know what you're doing, don't fucking do it.

H.T.: That's . . . one way of putting it.

I.N.: Point is, if you have no idea what you're doing, don't even consider visiting the Higher Planes. Only do that once you're certain of your abilities, capabilities and limits.

ALL: Good luck!
