Well, this is new...

[snowballs_andfuntimes]

No idea where I am, or how I got here... but, hey, the phone is pretty nice! Upside, right?

No idea what I'm supposed to do with this other stuff. Or how I'm supposed to get home from here, because I already kind of figured out that my usual travel options... don't work. Ow.

I guess I should try to find this place on this keycard...? Snowdrift Hut. Appropriate, I guess.

Are there monkeys?

[snowballs_andfuntimes]

Not that I've seen, yet.

Should I be worried about the monkeys?

[gosh_ilovearrows]

Lucky.

Oh yea, very worried.
I have no doubts they'll skin me alive if they catch me.

[snowballs_andfuntimes]

Guess I am.

... those... sound like some pretty intense monkeys.
I wonder if they're friends of Bunny?

[gosh_ilovearrows]

Well, if I can't get rid of them, they might just end up coming your way.
Friends of who?

[snowballs_andfuntimes]

I'll keep an eye out for them, then.
Bunny. You know, the Easter Bunny?

[gosh_ilovearrows]

Right. Friends of the Easter Bunny, of course.
And I must be Dorothy, running from flying monkeys.

[snowballs_andfuntimes]

Well, hey there, Dorothy. It's nice to meet you.

They can fly?

[gosh_ilovearrows]

That was a joke.
Nevermind. The name is Hawkeye, not Dorothy.
And no, monkeys don't fly. Unless they're mutants or aliens.
Pretty sure these aren't either. Then again, hard to tell for sure.

[snowballs_andfuntimes]

... because Hawkeye is a much better name.
I think I'll stick with Dorothy.
Well, I've never seen a mutant or an alien monkey.
But, hey - one of my best friends is a giant rabbit with an Australian accent and a bad attitude. Guess I can't judge, right?

[gosh_ilovearrows]

My name is not Dorothy.
I don't even have the necessary equipment to be a Dorothy.
When you claim that your best friend is the Easter Bunny, with an Australian accent.. no, you don't really have any judging rights.

[snowballs_andfuntimes]

Now that comment right there? That's a little sexist, Dorothy.
I don't think you have to have any particular set of 'equipment' to have a name. That's just rude.
Another one is the Tooth Fairy. She looks like a giant hummingbird crossed with a girl and she's pretty and kind of ADHD.

[gosh_ilovearrows]

And you're a smart mouth, kid.
I'd be annoyed if I wasn't the same.
Right. Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy.
What does that make you? The holiday chicken?

[snowballs_andfuntimes]

I know. It's a gift. And, hey - I'm a lot older than you think I am.
So, are you the pot or the kettle in this situation, then?
Yup. There's a few others, but you'd just think I'm crazy if I mentioned them.
... really? That's your guess?
What the heck is the 'holiday chicken', anyway?

[voodoo_revenge]

I know right? It's really a super fancy one!

[snowballs_andfuntimes]

Yeah, pretty fancy. I've never had a phone before, so this is kind of neat...

[voodoo_revenge]

I really can't afford anything so nice. Back home the agency gave me one but that's just for work and it's basic.

[snowballs_andfuntimes]

I can't really afford anything. Don't really, uh, deal with money much. I've never needed it before.

[voodoo_revenge]

Why wouldn't you need money? Did you live in the wilderness? Like Briar Rose?

[snowballs_andfuntimes]

... who?

Not exactly. Kind of? I never needed to buy anything, so I don't really need money.

[voodoo_revenge]

Briar Rose. You know, Sleeping Beauty? She lived in the forest and the animals helped her with cooking and cleaning. So she never had to buy anything.

[snowballs_andfuntimes]

Well, I think I'd be kind of terrified of Bunny's cooking. Tooth's would probably be pretty good, though.

But, nah, I'm not Briar Rose. Guess again!

[voodoo_revenge]

Haha, of course you're not, you're a guy.

Guess? Are you famous?

[snowballs_andfuntimes]

Yes, yes I am.

Something like that.

[voodoo_revenge]

In which country? I only really know Japanese celebrities.

[snowballs_andfuntimes]

In... pretty much every country, really.

Not to brag, or anything, but... I'm kind of a big deal.

[voodoo_revenge]

You don't look familiar to me...

What was your name?

[snowballs_andfuntimes]

Look - wait. You...you can see me? And you don't know who I am?

Well, we're playing a game, right? You have to guess. I can give you a hint if you want one, though.

[voodoo_revenge]

There's a picture of you on the phone. You can do video if you want.

I'll need a hint.

[snowballs_andfuntimes]

Ooh, gotcha. Makes sense. I've never had my picture taken before... didn't really think it would work.

Alright then! Here goes: Chestnuts roasting on an open fire...

Do you have that one in Japan?

[voodoo_revenge]

Wait, you're a celebrity but you've never had your picture taken?

You like camping?

[snowballs_andfuntimes]

Something like that, yeah. Dunno if 'celebrity' is really the right word... but something like that.

Sure! What's not to like?

[voodoo_revenge]

I don't think I understand.

[snowballs_andfuntimes]

Well, see, the thing is - most people can't see me. Or hear me. They know I exist, most of them, but that's... about it, really.

Give up yet?

[voodoo_revenge]

Are you a fairy?!

[snowballs_andfuntimes]

....

No. But I know some fairies.

[voodoo_revenge]

Really?! YOU REALLY KNOW FAIRIES?! Can you introduce me?!

[exorcisms_2000yen]

Upside what?

Re: [audio]

[snowballs_andfuntimes]

Er, I just meant the phone is a good thing about this weird situation.

[audio]

[exorcisms_2000yen]

Other than the communication feature it's kind of useless though.

I take that back, the flashlight app has been a lifesaver..

Re: [audio]

[snowballs_andfuntimes]

I guess it's just owning one that I like? Never have before.

A flashlight would be nice, though. How does it work?

[audio]

[exorcisms_2000yen]

Jeeze, I can't believe no one else here knows how to use one of these things.

Hit the menu button at the bottom and then there should be an icon with a lightbulb on it.

Re: [audio]

[snowballs_andfuntimes]

Hey, this is the first time I've ever even held one! I think I'm doing pretty good for my first try.

Not too hard. Thanks for the tip!

Hey, what's your name, anyway? I'm Jack.

[audio]

[exorcisms_2000yen]

Yup, sure thing.

I'm Asahina.

Re: [audio]

[snowballs_andfuntimes]

Asahina... pretty name.

Well, thanks again for the help, Asahina. Say, you wouldn't happen to know where this... Snowdrift Hut is, would you?

[audio]

[exorcisms_2000yen]

Thanks.

The other girl says the village is North-Eastish if that helps at all.

Re: [audio]

[snowballs_andfuntimes]

It... does, actually. Thanks!
