10	!!Tropes:
11
12	* AgonyOfTheFeet: Both [[PlayedForLaughs Marcus]] and Yue step on sharp things in the water.
13	* AfterTheEnd: The dead planet, because Mordolarg (a very powerful water god) has turned into an OmnicidalManiac and had a hand in causing the war that ruined the place. The only nice part of it is the island of glowing berries, which seems pretty remote and is protected by magical mists anyway.
14	%% * BabiesEverAfter: [[spoiler: For Kiwi, anyway. Where did she find a male cat?]]
15	* ButtMonkey: Unpleasant and annoying stuff seems to prefer Marcus to his friends.
16	* CabinFever: Everybody gets very snippy when [[spoiler: the rescue mission has to be postponed, because the portal closes on moonless nights]].
17	* ClosedCircle: The group was going to spend a couple of days on a small island one of their families owns. They can't leave, because Markus and Juhani get TrappedInAnotherWorld and can't be rescued until a specific set of conditions is fulfilled.
18	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: [[EccentricMentor The Old Guy]]'s gone more than a bit loopy since he got TrappedInAnotherWorld.
19	* ContrivedCoincidence: So R2 and Marcus just ''happened'' to discover the abandoned cottage (with a broken doorlock!) when it started raining...
20	* CoolGate: Coolness is debatable (due to camouflage) and it only opens [[FunctionalMagic whan the moon is visible and where it leads exactly depends on the moon phase]]. But it will get you transported to another planet, so... [[spoiler: The mist also works as a one-way portal from the island to continent]].
21	* DemBones: The [[AfterTheEnd dead world]] is inhabited mostly by animated skeleton monsters. Some are huge.
22	%% * DeadManWriting: The journal.
23	* DeadpanSnarker: Juhani has developed a lot of snark after his ordeal.
24	%% * DoggedNiceGuy: Marcus, to Sanna. He's [[YoureNotMyType not her type]].
25	* TheDitherer: Sanna just can't decide what she wants. Neither can Marcus, really.
26	* EndlessDaytime / TheNightThatNeverEnds: The dead planet is tidally locked. Life is only possible in the perpetual twilight zone.
27	* EverythingTryingToKillYou: Even the plants are mean on the dead world, not to mention the skeletons and the deadly water.
28	* FantasticDrug: The wine is either a potent hallucinogen, or makes you [[DreamingOfTimesGoneBy relive a random past event]].
29	* FantasticFlora: Glowing berries the magical wine is made of and guardian oaks of the dead world (they're the only source of safe water). And those fungi...
30	* FreakOut: Yue has a minor one [[spoiler: over the possibility of having been mind-controlled by Mordolarg]].
31	* FogOfDoom: All water in the dead world is dangerous, even the mist.
32	* HeKnowsTooMuch: Said by Juhani almost word-for-word after his friends discover the magical wine. He has no choice but to [[WelcomedToTheMasquerade swear them in to the family secret]]. With a BloodOath.
33	* LeakingCanOfEvil: [[spoiler: Mordolarg, while sealed, keeps causing trouble]].
34	* LivingStatue: The guardian mechas are overgrown with moss and still capable of kicking some undead ass, even on autopilot.
35	* JerkassGods: [[spoiler: Caused the dead world's death, because humans asked too many questions]].
36	* MindManipulation: Mordolarg might have it. Or so The Old Man says. He seems to control the fungi and the undead.
37	* MisplacedWildlife: Plot point. [[spoiler: The glow worm came from another world]].
38	* MundaneUtility: Discover a portal to another world, what do you do? Pick magical glowing berries to make [[FantasticDrug wine]]. The island where the berries grow is a nice picnic spot, as well. Also, a mecha is used for a [[FlareGun signal flare]].
39	* MurderWater: Due to the essence of [[GodOfEvil Mordolarg]] in it, the dead world water is very poisonous. Safe water only comes from guardian oaks.
40	* MustHaveNicotine: R2 smokes habitually.
41	* NarniaTime: Time and aging in the dead world are magically slowed.
42	* PeacefulInDeath: [[spoiler: The Old Guy dies content, having been able to return to the our world island and reunite with his brother, who's buried there]].
43	* TrappedInAnotherWorld: [[spoiler: Marcus and Juhani, which is how they meet The Old Guy, who's also trapped there]].
44	* [[TimeTravelForFunAndProfit Transdimensional Travel for Fun and Profit]]: How [[UnclePennybags Juhani]]'s family became so rich - they sell the [[FantasticDrug wine]] in China.
45	%% * TheyWouldCutYouUp
46	* SmallGirlBigGun: Technically, the gun is carried by a mecha. But R2 couldn't fit inside, so it's [[spoiler: a smaller Yue]] piloting the mecha. And she ''loves'' it.
47	* TheSmartGuy: R2 has good scientific method for figuring the mist out, and is able to build several useful gadgets.
48	%%* StrangeSyntaxSpeaker: The Old Man.
49	* TooDumbToLive: Marcus, there are saner ways to impress girls than walking into the alien mist...
50	* UnsuspectinglySoused: R2 and Marcus find some old wine in the abandoned cottage and proceed to taste it. [[FantasticDrug A (possibly psychic) drug trip ensues]].
51	%% * WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic: Yue's dream [[spoiler: while being cured of the poison]] is obviously symbolic, but vague.
52	* ZenSurvivor: The Old Man, [[spoiler: Juhani and the most zen of them, Marcus]].
