Tristam: Sigh... So much for having a time of our lives. Guess I'm closing Mercenary Inc. in the next week or so. Let's eat...

*boom*

The Crystal Story II team bursts and lays all the loot they've carried, surprising Tristam and his allies.

Tristam: Ah!

Lina: Sorry! *eats a chunk of cake Did we scare you? That's what we get for busting in out of nowhere I guess.

Mari excitingly pulls a party popper.

Kaz: While you were mourning about your failure of a party, we created our own idea of a sidequest and look for another venue that's busy enough and has anything worthy to steal.

D: Luckily we found one that has all the exquisite items we need! *burp Sorry. I should learn better than to eat and run. My stomach... Ouugh...

Lina: Hope it is worth it! We even got two toys to keep that foolish cat across the neighborhood in check.

...

Tristam: Thank you! I wouldn't know what I'll do if I never hired any of you.

Kaeli smiles, Phoebe screams in victory and Reuben becomes enthusiastic again.

Mari: That's awesome! Let's celebrate! I can't wait to taste these new treats we nabbed.

Kaz: I'm testing this weapon after we're finished.

Lina: Not if I scramble with the music first!

D: Hey! Don't leave me behind! I'm still telling my tummy to settle! (Heh. Thanks for the collection, Matt. Have a happy birthday with your ruined venue.)

It's been 10 years since Crystal Story II is first released in Kongregate at November 12, 2013. I know it's known better in Newgrounds but that was a later submission (Feb 4, 2014). The Steam/Deluxe version is released in Feb 6, 2015. If this doesn't make me really old and emotional, I don't know what else will. I hope Lan does not forget, especially after past Discord drama. Please trust me...
