Yes, tell him it's a gemmy-wemmy detector. It goes "gem detected" when there's gems.

probably not! Your beams have made two of the scary thing's beams go away, but it doesn't seem likely that the remaining two will be disabled in the same way. You will probably need all four gems to make the scary thing stop completely. Abscond!

you have weakened it, now abscond.

"I have never seen a bigger pile of snacks before. All that many snacks in one place at the same time. It's amazing!"

It took little for Theo to accept these drastic changes to lands he was never very familiar with anyway. Until he realised something. He remembered something that he had forgotten long ago. Something important. Something that prompted his entire journey altogether...

~Your friend? Don't you want to stay with me and rule over my new world with me? It'll be great!~

[ Cutscene end! ]

What should Theo do? Resume the search for his lost friend, or abandon it for his new life here? Or perhaps seek a way to undo the changes to the world that Diava has made? The decision made here will change the course of EVERYTHING FOREVER!

Stay here, you've done good Boxcat. You've done good.

She said she'd let you have the gems after she used them. Reset the worlds EXCEPT FOR ONE back to normal.

I guess we can have everyone vote on which one gets taken over.

OR we could just create a NEW one for her! A FIFTH land! Maybe you could just ask her to do that instead of changing the four lands.

Also yeah let's find your buddy.

Theo should really keep looking for his friend. What if he's in trouble? Diava can come too though. It's not like any part of the world is different from any other now, she can rule from anywhere.

Hmm, that makes it kinda boring, doesn't it?

yeah ask about doing that. instead of making all four lands the same she makes a fifth one between them. because perfection gets boring after a while. this way you can have perfect land and all the other places too.

~...no! No it will be fun forever and I will never get bored of a world of shadows!~
"You said I could have the gems back after you used them, right?"
~I did.~
"Can I-"
~YOU'LL HAVE TO TAKE THEM FROM ME FIRST!~

I guess all I can do is hug her back.

~...Theo? What are you doing?~
"Hugging you."
~Why?~
"Because you're my friend!"

I feel her grip loosen a little.

~T-the gems are mine, Theo. But I'll grant you a boon or something.~

I don't think I want to lick her eye. It looks weird and maybe dangerous.

>>289016
Ask her to be nice to your other friends.

>>289016
I guess you could reiterate plan "fifth world." I think that's probably the best solution for everyone.

... also, isn't Diava basically coterminous with the world she's created? That's kinda weird if you ask me.

Oh... but you promised to give the blue one back to Fin when you finished collecting them all. It would be sad to break your promise. :C

~...~
"You can make a fifth land. Also do you want to be actually part of the world like that?"
~I'm not, and... okay. I can make a new land. I can still have power over it a bit.~

And so the lands that Diava altered returned to their former glories, and a new land was formed.

And Theo had all the snacks he could eat before passing out from the excitement of it all.

Marco, having set out to stop the shadow demon Diava from destroying the world and creating a new one in her image, wandered around without purpose after the four gems had been used.

He travelled to confront the shadow demon in her own domain, but she revealed to him the truth. He had thought her heartless and obsessed in her search for the gems, but in the process had become the same. She offered a tendril in friendship, swearing to never seek the gems again as long as he would swear the same.
