"Good news is we've had people temporarily get yanked back home and barely any time had passed. So it seems like for most of us, when we go back, we won't have missed anything."
Something that Rich found daunting, but hey, he'd turned into a dimensional door and faded out of existence before he'd been yanked into all this. He wasn't sure he'd get to do anything other than go back and disappear. It was something he tried not to think about - there were much more important things to focus on besides his possible death.
"Bad news is we probably won't get to leave this place until we take out the Big Bad. See, in this universe, the Guardians fight against Pitch Black, also known as the Bogeyman. He's the one that started all this; he was trying to find this ancient army of creatures called fearlings to use them to defeat the Guardians, and while looking for them, he opened this magic door that was holding something outside the universe - a being called Kuk. Pitch opened the door a crack and found out that army he wanted to steal was more of a handful than he'd thought and that it already had a master. Now that the door's open a crack, Kuk's trying to push the door all the way open and get all the way into this universe, and after It destroys this universe, It wants to use this world as a stepping to destroy all of existence."
Pretty dire stuff, but hey, this interdimensionaal adventure bisines susuallly was.
"Because Kuk is chewing at the edge of the universe, the walls between this universe and others have worn down. That's how fear has enough power to bring in the villains and monsters that Kuk usually recruits to fight for him, and how the kids' belief subconsciously brings us in from places where we're real so we defend them. Until we take Kuk out or at least manage to lock him behind the door again, we're probably not going to be able to pull free of the belief holding us here."
He shrugged.
"But hey, it's where we're needed anyway, right? At least that means there are people here that can help fight. Kuk's bad news."
