Story so far
Prepotente floated above the ruins and pointed out the direction of the volcano so Carl could aim. After the launch he reported in chat that it looked like a good throw, that Emberus had seen Samantha and was moving to catch her, and that the streamers were a nice touch. He then announced he was entering the stairwell and wished the team luck on the next floor.
Carl thanked him and said he'd see him on the next floor. Prepotente's sign-off was simply "I love you," and Carl, caught off guard, answered, "Uh, love you too, buddy."
