Whoa... it's pretty.

Re: Start Point

[dramatispersonae]

Bright and sunny and scenic too!

Re: Start Point

[exchanged]

[well. everyone else seems to be heading to the villa, so... the lake it is.]

Re: Start Point

[dramatispersonae]

The path is rough right from the get-go, thorned vines and high shrubbery all up in your way.

Re: Start Point

[exchanged]

[that's okay. I'm used to that kind of thing. pushes forward!]

Re: Start Point

[dramatispersonae]

It stays rough going, but keep pushing through and you'll eventually hit a... clearing? Which looks quite empty except for a small figure all dressed in green moss and holding an... axe?

Ooh, hello.

Re: Start Point

[exchanged]

[that seems normal, sure.]

... hi.

Re: Start Point

[dramatispersonae]

"You've come to play a game then, yes? Let's begin."

The baby proceeds to draw a ring in the ground around you...

Re: Start Point

[exchanged]

Wait, really--? Since when are we playing a game?

Re: Start Point

[dramatispersonae]

"That's what they do, isn't it? Them... "

The baby motions at himself.

"Let's see... if you can knock over that tree without making a move, you win. Isn't that easy?"

Re: Start Point

[exchanged]

... are you supposed to be the Green Knight or something? [s-sigh] Okay... will you at least tell me if knocking over the tree will hurt anything in here?

Re: Start Point

[dramatispersonae]

"Not at all. This area is quite safe except when it's dangerous."

Re: Start Point

[exchanged]

... [8|a]

Well, if I can't move at all, there's no way I can knock it down anyway.

Re: Start Point

[dramatispersonae]

"Is that your final answer? That's quite a shame..."

Re: Start Point

[exchanged]

I can cut it down if you let me move my hand. I won't move from this spot. Or can I ask you to cut it down?

Re: Start Point

[dramatispersonae]

"No no, you can't move at all, and you must be the one to do it."

Re: Start Point

[exchanged]

[... thinks really hard about the tree falling down 8/]

Re: Start Point

[dramatispersonae]

... So how's that working for you...

Re: Start Point

[exchanged]

[no latent psychic powers have popped up.]

Obviously I can't do it.

Re: Start Point

[dramatispersonae]

"Oh, that's too bad. Do you accept your loss then?"

Re: Start Point

[exchanged]

[crosses his arms.]

I'll have to.

Re: Start Point

[dramatispersonae]

The baby claps his hands together, bowing his head.

"I wish you the best of luck then."

From the bushes behind the baby appear the loudly growling muzzles of a pair of lightning wolves.

Re: Start Point

[exchanged]

[WHY. scales that tree in a hurry.]

Re: Start Point

[dramatispersonae]

With that the baby strolls off into the forest, leaving you to deal with your new... friends.

Re: Start Point

[pulls out a Pokéball and lets Sneasel out onto a high branch with him.]

... Sneasel, Blizzard.

[I HOPE LIGHTNING WOLVES LIKE GETTING FROZEN.]
