Attempting to turn Starglass natter into a cohesive paragraph, while keeping the important bits of said natter. Let me know how I did.


* In the [[BonusDungeon Zelmite Mines]] of Dark Cloud 2 Monica comes back using that Hourglass thing that goes back in time to "[[DoubleEntendre check up]] on max" or whatever. But you see here is the problem with this, that Hourglass is a one use, one way ticket throw away item so how the hell is she going to get [[IncrediblyLamePun back to the future]]? Note: After beating the game your Atlamillia's time travel kinda stops working.
** That's because [[spoiler:Max and Monica]] destroy them themselves during the final battle with [[spoiler:Sirus]] which makes it impossible for [[spoiler:Max to be wearing his as he writes in his letter to his mother]]. Also, [[spoiler:Time travel is forbidden in the True Future.]]
** That just compounds the fridge logic because that would make Monica a fugitive because she knowingly went back in time again even though it is illegal. The problem is how she is going to go back to her own time which is the future, because she used an item that only goes back in time to the past because they don't have the maguffins anymore. This isn't even going into Max's existance.
*** Well, [[spoiler:Lin/Crest]] gave Monica the [[spoiler:Starglass]], so that makes us have 2 fugitives right there. Say, wasn't time travel forbidden in [[spoiler:Seda's]] time too? Also, because [[spoiler:a Starglass returns a person to a time of great personal significance]], shouldn't Monica have arrived [[spoiler:''before'' she left, leading to two Monicas in the same timeline]]?
*** Dunno about the two Monicas, but as for how she got back, maybe she arranged for Osmond to come get her in the Ixion at a predetermined time. I mean, as long as you're breaking the rule about not traveling through time, might as well go all the way right?
*** Directly stated by Monica herself that she used a Starglass. Which returns the user to a time of great significance to them. There's also very direct evidence of two Lins in her subplot.

When two people read a book they don't always pay attention to the same details (a mechanically minded person like Max would probably think about how the technology in the book would work while Monica may spend time looking at the different species in the book).

It gets really silly in Starlight Canyon when the randomly generated levels produces a piece of land 3 feet from another piece of land with no joining bridge at this point, forcing characters to take the long way around.
