Across Universes

-Oliver doesn't even flinch when he's bopped, seeing as he's so used to that happening-

Oliver: Heard a rumor that a princess around here had been captured.

-Tohryu steps out and takes a look around-

Tohryu: Empty.

-The old creature stares at Oliver for a moment, then temporarily enters the house. There is a LOT of yelling from what little you can make out. The old creature then comes right back out and looks at Oliver once again-

???: Sorry about that. Twiggy sent out so damn many of th' things we thought nobody'd answer. Well, just come on in, come on in and let me make you some grub as thanks for coming all this way. Also...

-She points her staff at Tohryu-

???: Get that one a sweater or a jacket. Girls like her shouldn't be dressing so tawdry these days.

-She hobbles back into the house-

Roy: *Is distracted by a butterfly before snapping back into reality.*

"Wait, who get a jacket?"

Oliver: ...

You know what, it beats "I won't deal with whores".

-Enters the house-

-You cross over into the threshold of the house by following the old living artifact. Looking inside, it looks much bigger on the inside than on the outside, although a few of you really tall visitors might need to bend down to not hit the ceiling in a couple places. The grounds look rather comfortable. Drawings adorn the walls next to cleaned up animal skulls, large looking sofas with throw pillows on them are in front of odd looking knicknacks and statues. You see what look like particularly ugly green humanoid monkey-like creatures with large ears and pronounced noses, dressed in rags or very simple farm clothing. Many of them utter their strange scratchy language while pointing at you guys in awe, muttering "giant" or "golem" or various other common english words for fantastical creature-

-...Until they spot Tohryu. One of them stares intently at her wings and screams "DRAGONCHILD!" while looking terrified-

-This sets off a chain reaction of panic. Every green creature screaming and running around everywhere in circles, making a mess of the place around you-

-...Every creature except the oldest looking green creature leading you, who doesn't look like she even notices as she keeps making her way to the kitchen-

-As far as welcomes go, this is still markedly better than that one in Hoshiniha-

Roy: *Looks at green peeps going nutso. He looks at Oliver and Tohryu, face to face, with certain glow on his face.*

-*even with that blank look, you can tell his emotion screams "You gotta be kidding me!"*

Oliver: Uh... she's not going to kill any of you.

-Doesn't look like they're listening, Oliver-

-The old creature just beckons you forward into the kitchen, giving a couple of the really hysterical green creatures a bump on the noggin for getting in the way-

-Oliver sighs and follows along-

Oliver: I hope they don't get themselves hurt freaking out like that.

???: Hah! Y'should see them when they have a real problem on their hands. This is just horseplay. Go on, have a seat. I'll whip up some stew for you travelers.

Roy: "Sure..."

-*Goes into the kitchen, careful not to step on things before taking a seat.*

-Oliver goes and sits down-

-Man, it is kinda cramped in here. Whatever this old lady creature is cooking smells okay, but it's definitely not a place to play with knives in here-

???: Let me take a guess, you're adventurers and not just here to visit yer old granma, are you?

Oliver: Yep. What gave it away?

Roy: "Yeah, you could say that."

???: The attitude, son. It's written all over yer faces.

...Well, not for you two, at any rate, you don't got any.

-A giant cowgirl rides her mechanical steed across the wild Texas desert. Except instead of the Texas desert, its the location where everyone else in-

Mindy: What in tarnation...? Huh, looks like we ain't in Texas anymore.

-She approaches the old woman and the other characters-

Mindy: Howdy y'all. Anyone know where I am?

Oliver: -waves to the cowgirl-

Yeah, I figured as-

-realizes there's a giant cowgirl here-

-double takes-

-The old woman doesn't seem at all perturbed to see Mindy-

???: Well, what a surprise t'see a giant come down from the mountains! You're here in Goblinstead, young lady. Just call me "Gran", everyone does. You here for some home cooking, or you gotten lost on your way to the city?

Roy: @Mindy "No idea!" :D

"...."

"Whoa, what did your ma fed ya to make ya that big?"

Mindy: Nice to meetcha, Gran. I'm Mindy. And yeah, I just got lost on my travels.

@Roy: I'm a giant! I was born big.

Gran: Well, stay a spell then! I was just about t'tell these adventurers some important things over dinner.

Oliver: ...wait I already know a big girl. Why is this surprising?

-Oliver shakes his head and returns his attention to Gran-

Roy: @Mindy "Huh."

"Nice meetcha missy, I'm Roy Spades. Gunslingin' and gunsmithin' my trade."

@Gran "Alright, I'm all ears."
