"Foxglove lyrics," Cindy said, looking at Sarah excitedly. "The Tallus is spouting Foxglove lyrics. Wow. That's why you're not seeing any of your heroes or your newspapers. This is more like my New York. Specifically, it's George's Tongue. I have the album that was from. Released in 1998, but she admits in the liner notes she got the idea for the song in November of 1991, when that hurricane inexplicably hit New York out of the blue."

After that little rant, the little redhead paused for breath. "Oh dear. I'm going to go get a newspaper and check the date."

	"'Monster' is relative," mutters the infinitely ancient being who looks like a pouting indie rocker. "By the rules, you get one favor. And by the rules, the creature trapped by the stone within the woman's mind is within my power. If this instability ends, and I ensure she harms none further, are we through, ladies?"

She actually has to think about it. One favor from someone who may be some sort of massive diety. Who knows what could be accomplished?
Could she send the other Exiles home? She's sure no one can truly fix time as a whole, or some entity would have. But maybe a reality or two? Wouldn't that be worth something on its own, and they can find another way?

For a moment, she looks at Cindy. Not well suited for this life. Young, idealistic in her own cute way. A definite hero. Couldn't she find another way here, and fix her world?

She sighs. Got to do it the right way. Take no chances. Fix the world... and move to the next.

"Deal with the monster, and with it, the instability, yes. That will be all."

Cindy looks at her, and the gears are turning too. But she realizes it's only about saving her Dad, not about going home.

Because as much as she loves her parents, and as much as she has hated every second of the past chaotic hour, she's not sure she wants to.

"Very well. The bounds in my realm the stone maintains will be unmade, but the creature will not dominate any other minds. Even those who do so far too easily will have no further need of calling down powers beyond their control this day; the rains will be of no matter. And this will all be an incomprehensible story to tell children yet unborn."

"A pleasure doing business with you, Mr. Murphy."
"And with you and your lady, Lenore Cynthia Lord."

At which point he vanishes. And soon, so do they.

The poor boys are groggy and still midnight-snacking.

	Sarah sighs. "The Tallus says we've earned a one week, no-expenses paid vacation on account of lack of weather. We have a little time to recuperate here." (Reply to this)(Parent)
