Ion: Wassup Cynder, is this working? Can you hear me alright? Over. ...Cynder? Over.

Cynder: Loud and clear, Ion. No worries. Over.

Ion: Alright, right, good. So um, how is it over there? Over.

Cynder: Well, it looks pretty much like what I was expecting, but it's pretty intimidating.  It's dark, it's cold, and everything looks so... dead. Over.

Ion: Yup, don't get too creeped out though, cuz the environment's barely a worry. So uh, mind describing your surroundings so I can know where you've ended up? Over.

Cynder: Hm, I'm surrounded by glowing purple crystals. They're everywhere. Over.

Ion: Ok, sounds like you're in one of the Crystal Fields. Over.

Cynder: "One of?" Over.

Ion: Yeah, there's two of 'em. Can you tell me what else you see? Over.

Cynder: Well, there's a mountain, and... woah! A city! Both of them look close by. Over.

Ion: Ok, you're in the Northern Crystal Field. That's not bad, but unfortunately you're gonna have to travel across the entire map to reach the Corrupt Swamps. Over.

Cynder: Ion, what the hell? You just said "that's not bad" but then immediately contradicted yourself by saying I gotta go all the way to the other side of the Shadow Realm? Over.

Ion: Sorry, yeah, look, look, I know that sounds like a pain in the ass. But as long as you avoid the city and go in a straight line, it's just empty grass fields between you and the swamps. Over.

Cynder: I suppose that makes me feel a LITTLE better. Anyway, thanks, I'll be off doing that now. I'll get in touch with you if anything happens. Over.

Ion: Hey Cynder... best of luck, ok? Promise me you'll stay in one piece. And don't do anything stupid, alright? Over.

Cynder: Aw, Ion, I promise. Don't worry about it- uh, uh oh... uh, over.

Ion: What? What's up? Over.

Cynder: I uh, see monsters... and I think they see me too. Over.

Ion: Shit, hang up and get moving! Remember, go towards the city. Once you're out of the Crystal Field go in a straight line parallel to the city. Over.

*The sound of Cynder beginning to speed-walk through the field can be heard*

Cynder: Yeah, got it, no problem! Cya. Over and out.
