"--Oh, yeah! I'll go to the mob farm! --I'm sure Quackity won't mind if I just, borrow his horse quickly."

"No, I don't think so. As long as you put it back right away."

"Mm." Short pause, and then he starts heading out of Las Nevadas. "So this is your cookie factory? Your cookie shop? Your--giant fortress?"

"Yeah, I realize a lot now that it- it-- it is just a giant fortress. I don’t… I don’t know, sometimes I don’t realize things until they’re an afterthought."

"How is Tubbo?"

"He's, um, alright. I think he's doing pretty, pretty well? He's just-- he's just building around Snowchester, you know?"

"...Snowchester?"

"Snowchester? Oh! You don’t know about-- Oh! It’s basically just like this little-- It used to have some people in it, but then everyone just kinda like-- went off on their own ways. Um, it’s just like this little-- like, this little arctic area. This little arctic village that he created."

(His voice is friendly and helpful, but Wilbur's not looking at him, so he lets his tail twitch.)

"So… Las Nevadas, Snowchester. I thought… Techno and Phil told me that we were successful--well, just Phil, I haven’t spoken to Techno since--since that happened--since it happened. But like, Phil told me they were successful, and that there’s no more nations anymore, and that it’s amicable."

As soon as nations is said, Ranboo interrupts. "It's, it's not a nation. It’s literally just-- It’s literally just him."

"What about Kinoko Kingdom?"

"I have no idea. Honestly. Last I knew of them they just put down signs, I haven't heard anything about that."

Quackity notices the tail twitching. Doesn't point it out, though. 

"I still don't think Las Nevadas is a country but Kinoko's even less a country than Las Nevadas is, nobody's in charge and nobody's ever doing things there except me and Sapnap." 

"Mm. This just supports my point, really. You're part of Kinoko Kingdom, right, Q? There's a lot happening, a lot of places. Where are you a part of, Ranboo? You can't be that neutral. If you don't know anything about Kinoko Kingdom you must be part of something else."

Hm. If Wilbur were the only one here, he'd say he's with Phil and Techno since they let him live with them. ...If Wilbur's going to be around Q a lot, he's probably going to tell Q at some point, and it might be better for Ranboo to say it first, so it doesn't look like he was keeping a secret? Even though he totally was planning on it if he could get away with it.

"I think I mainly am just with, um, just with, like, Phil and… Techno, I’m pretty sure. 'Cause that's where I'm living, not because--I mean, they let me live with them, so I guess I'm with them a little bit?"

"And now the Paradise burger van."

"And- and now the- the burger van I guess, yeah."

Hooray! String! Wilbur pockets a few stacks of wool and starts heading back. "Final step is to name the beef."

"Name the-- name the beef?"

"Oh! Right, yes--so, another thing I wanted to do, to, um, legitimize our burger place, so it's not just steaks, right, I wanted to make a-- I wanted to name all our steaks, so that people know, when they've come, when you've had, you know, our steak shop, you know exactly that this is the steak from our steak shop, you know? Only high-grade beef. You know. So I wanted to name all of our burgers with an anvil. I wanted to give them, like, versions? And I wanted to use an alt code-- like, you know ASCII characters, like alt codes and stuff? I wanted to use a weird one, so that no one could copy it, so it would be like hey, you got a volume one steak. So people will come and they'll give it a sort of value to it, a bit of a... you know. Once you've had volume one of burgers, you know? That's gone forever. You know, like versions. Am I making sense? Are you following?"

"...I think."

(He has no visible response to Ranboo living with Phil and Techno, for whatever that's worth. Probably not much.) 

"I'm familiar with the concept but it's not usually applied to food. Or consumables in general." 

They're back at the van. "I'm putting the wool in the chest, that's for you, Ranboo. We got everything we need! Everything we need. Right. Uh, let me go to an anvil--I actually don't have any XP--I'll go kill a couple cows--"

"--Oh, could you give me the leather from them actually? For item frames?"

Wilbur turns around, hands Ranboo some leather. "Here you go."
