"I'm gonna be honest, I don't know that we have a choice. I mean, he killed you."

“Guys, I don’t— I mean, this is Dream! I don’t know…”

“Hey, Fundy, listen. This is good, this is— exactly what we needed! From day fucking one, Dream’s been trying to keep us down. And you know what? It’s time to fight back. We can’t just let him keep doing this. This is, this is gonna be good for L’Manberg, alright?”

“…Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah.” Tubbo: not the only cabinet member prone to nervous laughter, apparently. 

"We should plan for what we do both in the long term in the war, and in the moment when he does not give Tommy back. We're meeting on sacred ground, so there are limits."

“I’m on my last life. If war starts and I die, Quackity’s president, everyone reports to him. In the moment— no fighting on the Holy Land, but they might try to trap us. It might actually be worth trapping Tommy in the Holy Land, if it looks like Dream might hurt him. It wouldn’t be fun but it’s better than dying.”

"How would we trap him?"

“Obsidian, ideally. But also just, as many blocks as possible. I’ll grab a few stacks of cobblestone.”

If only they had a large amount of obsidian, perhaps some that had been promised to them-- "We might want to bring supplies in case we get besieged in the Holy Land. Food, and suchlike."

“Sure. Food’s always good to have on hand, anyway.”

"Do we have an idea of what Dream might want in return?"

“I’m gonna be honest, I expect he wants Tommy to stay exiled. He wants L’Manberg not to exist. Um, he wants Tommy’s discs. I think he got one of them from Skeppy. That’s about it, really.”

"--This does make it sound like we are heading to a war."

“Yeah. He might be willing to make some concession, since he was the one to kill you, but I don’t think he would give Tommy back just on that.”

"Is there any reason we can't give him the disc? If that's what he wants."

“I can offer. We’ll see if it works.”

"It will be worthwhile giving us more time to prepare, even if we lose things initially."

Tommy trusted me to keep it safe, Tubbo doesn’t say, because that would be stupid. “That’s true. Well, we’ll see how it goes.”

"Hopefully Dream has grown a sense of shame. I would not count on it, but it's possible."

“Probably best not to plan on it.”

"Of course. It's not likely, and it would be best to plan for a worst case scenario."

"Yeah. So, we meet Dream, we see what he wants, we offer him a disc in exchange for Tommy. Any objections?"

"I have no objection."

“Alright! Let’s fucking go!”

Jingyan is more than ready to go and get this over with and get Tommy back.
