"Shall we go and see the fruits of our labor?" He starts riding the horse towards Las Nevadas. Slowly, just at a walk. "'Cause Quackity's--Quackity's awake. Quackity's here, man. We can go and--see and chat with him about what we did. --Ranboo, I think you left before--I gave him back all the materials and I also left him a diamond or two. Just like, no hard feelings, you know? It was just for--you know--just to prove a point, but, um, yeah. Basically, Quackity is here and I just want to see how he feels." He gets off the horse. "Do either of you want to ride the horse, by the way? --It's Quackity's horse, disclaimer."

...

....wow, okay, this is gonna go badly. 

"Nah, I'll walk." 

"I'll--um, okay?"

"Normally when I come to the Las Nevadas sign- 'Cause I'm not allowed in Las Nevadas, normally when I come to the Las Nevadas sign, Quackity is the first one to come and tell me to fuck off, so. Let’s go up to the Las Nevadas sign. It's-- half the fun of making something and doing cool things, is that moment where everyone, y’know, where you get to see how everyone feels about it." They arrive at the sign. "So, now that we wait here… Wait here. I promise you, just you wait."

At this point he is either going to experience the consequences of his actions or he isn't and running won't help! 

He waits at the sign with Ranboo. He removes Schlatt's jacket, puts it in his inventory, decides he's cold and puts it back on again. Fuck thiiiiis. 

"So. Now we just. Wait here. I promise you, just you wait.

Just you wait. Ready? Ready?

...Are you ready? ...Are you ready?

...Um."

(Ranboo has been making vague agreement sounds in the background; Wilbur has been walking up to the sign, backing up, and trying again, repeatedly, as though this will help.)

"I'm ready, what are we...?"

Wilbur has PULLED OUT HIS PHONE and is TYPING.

"Boy, Las Nevadas sure is big from up here!"

<WilburSoot> boy las nevadas sure is big from up here

"Just--just hold on. Give it. Just give it a, just give it a sec. Give it a-- Maybe I can step in a bit further…? I mean, I can come to this level?" He walks forward, into Las Nevadas, just a few steps; it's downhill. Nothing happens. "Uh. Huh."

<WilburSoot> boy las nevadas sure is big from up here
<WilburSoot> boy las nevadas sure is big from up here
<WilburSoot> boy las nevadas sure is big from up here

⚠️ WilburSoot has been kicked for spamming

"...Maybe if I take another step? Wait, what's that, there's a chest with signs--"

"Oh yeah, that was when-- Oh my goodness, you didn't-- You remember the, um, the cookie outpost thing? Yeah, so basically, right, like, he got, like, really upset so then I tried to, like, apologize and everything because there was, like, a little bit of, like, some, like, dispute with it, but we honestly just decided to really just give up."

(The chest is next to the fountain and is accompanied by signs reading: To Quackity, Sorry we got off on the wrong foot! I would love to be able to talk things out :D I know things have been rough but I think that we can just be friends and just chill at the end of the day :D From Ranboo _Beloved. Inside it: cookies, diamond boots.)

...are they both doing this? Man, if Quackity was annoyed about just Q looking like he was trying to play both sides. 

Wilbur is still poking at his phone, but he's doing so while heading back towards the sign rather than deeper in Las Nevadas. "I'm trying to get back into the--okay, I'm back. He is online. Why didn't--"

<WilburSoot> quackity?

"This guy, I swear to god, like, I feel like I understand him. I feel like I know how his brain works, you know how his, how the, how the cogs in his mind go. And then he just goes and proves that he just doesn’t give a shit. Which is why I can’t wait to show off what I’ve done to him! But he's nowhere to be seen."

Q can take a guess at what Quackity is doing. Honestly, it seems pretty obvious? He isn't going to say that out loud, though. 

"Guess there's nothing to do but wait?" 

"I suppose." He kicks at the snow on the side of the road. "Ranboo, the cookie shop thing, what was your intention with this?"

"To... give out cookies to people?"

"And that was it? That was your be-all end-all, huh?"

"Yep!"

"Right. Well, how did you feel about Tubbo, doing what he did then?"

"...Doing what he did....? What do you mean?"

"Well, he-- Dude, I’ve heard the stories, man. I’ve heard how it turned into more than it was supposed to be, y’know?"

Ranboo's voice jumps again, this time defensively. "Well, I mean, that’s--he kinda goes above and beyond on a lot of things. You can't really blame him for making it into a castle. But that's just, y'know, can't be too careful. Especially when, you know. He's-- he has all the right to be nervous about something going wrong, so. No wonder he built all those defenses and everything."

"Why would-- OH, look who's here!" He doesn't actually jump up and down, but he does put a bit of bounce into his wave.

"Hello!"

"Hello," he says, in the chill and normal manner of someone who is not keeping both Wilbur and Quackity to his right where he can see them. 

"Quackity! It's lovely to see you, man, it's been a while! How have you been?"

"Wow, how long have you guys been here for?" Quackity's voice is light, normal, teasing but not threatening.
