Chapter Text
“Oh! Why, hello there. Did you just happen to fall through that portal?”
...
“I see… So you were in your room, and then a portal opened up beneath your feet?”
…
“Ah, well I suppose it’s a good thing you ate breakfast already. In that case, how about I give you a little introduction?”
…
“Yes, a sort of tour, if you will, of the… oh. You sprained your ankle falling down, haven’t you? Hmm, seems like you have. Well, no need to fret! Just, here, why don’t we go to my cave?”
…
“Yes, my cave. My house was burned down a few years ago during battle.”
…
“Here we are! See, it’s homey, is it not?”
…
“Yes, the waterfall is certainly a nice feature. Anyways, why don’t I draw you up a map? I can boil some water for tea while you wait. Let’s see… Chamomile or White Peony? Sorry, that’s all I have, at the moment.”
…
“Alright, I’ll make that then. I might just have the same, actually!”
…
“Right, so while the water is boiling, I’ll draw the map.”
…
“Done! Here’s your tea. Careful now, it’s hot. Ah yes, and here’s the map. You can see all the areas clearly, with this. Are there any places you have questions about?”
…
“Why are there several maps? Oh, each map has a name in the top corner, you see? Each name is a different planet.”
…
“No, no. There’s no need to worry about oxygen, dear. All of the planets are completely capable of holding any lifeforms.”
…
“Yeah, well, I mean, not every single planet is 100% safe, but… There’s no reason to fret, I’m the one who usually takes care of the dangers.”
…
“Alone? Well, yes, most of the time. There’s not exactly that many protectors around.”
…
“Before we get too off topic, how about I tell you about the planets? Yes, you know, simple information on them. What kind of areas they have, and the places there.”
…
“Sounds good? Alright then, sweet! Let’s start off with Pop Star, the planet we’re on now.”
…
“Hmm?”
…
“Oh, my personal favorite planet? Well, if I were honest… it would most likely be Patch Land.”
…
“Yes, a good friend mine lives there. We’ve had quite the adventures… not as many as me and my childhood friend have had, but still plenty of memorable ones, nonetheless.”
…
“Ah, right. Let me share some information about this planet. Rule number one, be weary of who you trust. Well, that should be a rule for wherever you go, really. But just keep that in mind, and you shouldn’t run into any danger!”
…
“Yeah, unfortunately I’ve had my fair share of troubles from trusting people with bad intentions. Some of them apologized and are now friends of mine, though!”
…
“Let’s see, I feel like there’s something else I’m forgetting… Ah, right, of course. Stay away from the Magic Mirror and Whispy Woods if you’re bad at directions, or don’t like getting confused; and lastly, be careful of jesters and wizards. Trust me, I would know.”
…
“Why is Patch Land my favorite planet? Oh, because it’s the most peaceful.”
…
“Hmm? No, we’re certainly not on the most peaceful planet, right now.”
…
“What’s that expression, for? There’s no need to fret, now. I’ll protect you on each planet we go to!”
…
“You still seem rather unsettled. Well, I suppose that does make sense. After all, you have plenty of reason to. Say, why don’t we head over to Patch Land, first? There are many places and areas there that are simply a marvel to gaze upon!”
…
“Hmm? Why, of course! Shall we begin our travels?”
