ITT: We Are Our Action Avatars

-THE RIFT-

(Suddenly, a portal appears, and a familiar, disassembled teenage girl◊ appears. No, she's really disassembled, she's in pieces. Her equally familiar scythe lands next to her head◊.)

Jitterbee: ...Hey.

(HOWEVER, a glasses clad girl◊ carrying a white-haired boy◊ come out of the portal, along with a guy who is questionably lawful◊.)

Glasses-clad girl: ...And then I said "What's a goat?".

White-haired boy: Funny.

-The Rift-

(Jeff the Goomba looks at the disassembled girl.)

Jeff: @Jitterbee: Hey, JB. Seems you have ... fallen to pieces, huh? Ahahahaha!

(Koops slaps Jeff for making that awful pun.)

-Somewhere, in an indeterminate part of the Rift, the universe flexes. Something happens. And a small country is deposited.-

-The next few days are tumultous - they don't know where they are. Where their old planet is. Where they used to live. But they have everything - they've still got their natural resources, they've still got their cities and their power and their military and everything they ever used to have.-

-But after two weeks, the citizens calm down. No matter how they got here - they just need to find out where, exactly, "here" is. And the first scout parties are sent out, armed only for self-defense, for the pure sake of exploration...-

-Anyone on the ground in THE RIFT would notice a low, dull, barely-there roar. If they looked up, they'd see the silhouette of what looks like a very small aircraft moving across what counts as the sky-

-THE RIFT-

Jitterbee: Very funny.

(Ruchifer laughs, like the jackass that he is.)

Glasses Girl: ...What?

(She's looking at the sky alongside the white-haired boy. The blonde guy, though...)

Blonde guy: ...Now that looks worth stealing.

Jeff: @Jitterbee and Ruchifer: Enough jokes, how are you doing?

Koops: @Blonde man: You a big aviation fan?

-The airplane continues to rather undramatically move across the sky-

-THE RIFT-

Jitterbee: So far, I haven't fallen to pieces.

(Beat.)

Jitterbee: ...Psychologically, I mean. Visited a high school, a few days ago. Then I got pulled back into a portal, and got spat out here. I'm not sure how I fell apart, though.

Blonde Man: @Koops: Yeah, sure, let's go with that.

(Jeff the Goomba nods in response to Jitterbee.)

Jeff: @Jitterbee: Makes sense to me. Mind if I help you with that?

(After a scene transition, Jitterbee is somehow put back together. Jeff looks confused on how he managed to put Jitterbee back together even though he has no arms.)

Koops: @Blonde: Ah, name, please?

-THE RIFT-

Jitterbee: There we go!

(She moves about, also picking up Ruchifer and swings him around a bit, to check if she's fully movable. She is.)

Ruchifer: How did you... Never mind.

Blonde man: Bartholomew.

Jeff: @Jitterbee: Wanna explore around that area right now? Sounds like a way to pass the time.

(There's a platforming area that looks like came directly out of Super Mario Bros.)

Koops: @Bartholomew: Okay, Bart. You can call me Koops. Wanna go to see a museum and give a few faux-analyzes about the art?

(There's a museum nearby Koops.)

-THE RIFT-

Jitterbee: @Jeff: I guess.

Bartholomew: @Koops: ...Okay then.

(There is an amount of glee in his heart. For the occasion, he takes out a cigarette and smokes it.)

(Jeff the Goomba heads over to the platforming section. Upon taking the first step into platforming section, the floor falls under Jeff. Jeff falls into the bottomless pit and Jeff loses a life. Jeff reappears with the text, "Jeff x3" above his head. He looks unamused.)

(Koops heads into the museum.)

-Platforming segment-

Jitterbee: ...Well, that didn't look pretty.

Ruchifer: You're tellin' me.

-Museum-

(Bartholomew takes a look at all the paintings and various art pieces. He figures he's gonna steal at least one of them.)

(Jeff remembers where not to step and heads over to a block. He breaks it open and a Super Mushroom flies out of it. Jeff the Goomba chases after it for a while. It touches Jitterbee and Jitterbe grows to twice her original size.)

Jeff: @Jitterbee: Why do you always have the luck?

(At the museum, Koops is sperging on and on about how these art pieces have some kind of deep meaning. There's a sculpture of a giant lipstick. The casing is made of gold and the lipstick is made of ruby.)

-Platforming Segment-

Jitterbee: ...I dunno.

(She shrugs.)

-Museum-

(Bartholomew, in the meantime, is using a pick and hammer on the other side of the gold and ruby lipstick, to take some of the ruby.)

(Bart successfully takes the piece of ruby. An NPC guard looks at Bart with a hint of suspicion.)

NPC: Was that dent always there or is it just me?

(Jeff explores the platforming section with Jitterbee, stomping upon the enemies they come across. Upon reaching another block, Jeff jumps up and tries to break it. A Fire Flower comes out and touches Jitterbee, making her Fire Jitterbee. She gains the ability to shoot fireballs out of her hands and her clothes become red and white. Jeff seems jealous.)

-Platforming Segment-

Firebee: ...What?

-Museum-

Bartholomew: Um... Uh... Yes?

NPC: 'kay then.

(The clueless guard has left Bart alone. There's a painting that looks very crude, but its frame is adorned with priceless gems. At the platforming section, a bunch of enemies approach Firebee and Jeff. Firebee's hands start to glow and she gets the urge to throw something.)

-Platforming Segment-

Firebee: ...Right then.

(She puts her hand in a throwing motion.)

-Museum-

Bartholomew: Jesus Christ, this is my lucky day.

(He starts taking the priceless gems on the frame.)

-That scout plane is still in the air-

Rhyme: (still fading) Please... I don't want to... But if I have to... I want to see them again.

-THE RIFT Plaza-

(The Glasses-girl and the White-Haired boy are still looking at the scout ship.)

-There's not exactly a lot to it. It's an airplane, and it's not like you have many ways of getting up that high-

Rhyme: Six... Dave... Someone...

Dave: Merry!
