> Get ready for combat!
>DONT ATTACK
Bruno mentally prepares to fight if necessary, but tries not to show it, not wanting to provoke Mr. Shadow.
>Well, we happen to have heard of a human who's actually trapped here.
>He's on his way to the queen! If you hurry, you might catch him!
>We lost him after some giant leech thing attacked.
Noice.
"Hey, guess what? Grimaldi and I heard there actually is a human trapped here!" Mr. Shadow gasps. " Really? "
"Yes! We were following him earlier, but we lost him when we got attacked by these leeches in Gluggar's river. But we think he's going to see the queen!"
" Hm... yeah, where else would he go? Interesting. But tell me, how do you know all of this? You must have been following him a long time, so why didn't you catch him then? "
Please make this canon, DC. I love the idea of the Joker and Harley's hyenas acting like them.> Say that the human managed to get away from their sight, and to go out of the forest to catch him.
>He was just too fast for us.
"He was just too fast for us." says Bruno. "I think he knew he was being followed, so he got out of the forest real quick."
Mr. Shadow considers this for a few seconds.
" Alright... yeah, makes sense. I think I'm gonna go find this human! "
Please make this canon, DC. I love the idea of the Joker and Harley's hyenas acting like them.>Point in the "direction" the child "went."
>In reality, point in the completely opposite direction than where Carl actually went.
Long live the New Bev.>Do you need our help, Mr Shadow?
>Anything at all?
"Uh... want us to help you?" asks Bruno, hoping to stay on Mr. Shadow's good side.
" No, no no. Let the professional handle catching this stupid human. But when I do, I want you to watch me kill him. Maybe then you'll realize how much fun it is! "
>Point in the "direction" the child "went."
>In reality, point in the completely opposite direction than where Carl actually went.
Bruno points in the opposite direction from the tree Carl is hiding in. "We think he went this way!"
" Excellent. I'll hunt him down in no time. "
With another ominous laugh, Mr. Shadow disappears into the darkness.
Carl is actually a young adult, by the way.
> After that, call Carl down to let him know that Mr. Shadow is gone, likely missing him.
Bruno waits a few seconds to make sure Mr. Shadow is really gone, then calls Carl. "It's safe now, Carl! You can come down now!" Carl obliges.
You are now playing as Carl again.
Please make this canon, DC. I love the idea of the Joker and Harley's hyenas acting like them.> Let's head outta here, we don't want to encounter that crazy again!
Carl, Bruno, and Grimaldi continue forward. Suddenly, a voice whispers from behind them.
"You are all in grave danger. You must follow me, and I will keep you safe."
Please make this canon, DC. I love the idea of the Joker and Harley's hyenas acting like them.> Ask the voice who they are
> Ask the voice who it is, but stay cautious. It could be a trick!
> Greet the voice, and ask it for its name, gender, motives, and social security number.
In a slight panic, Carl asks the mysterious voice for its name, gender, motives, and social security number.
"Social- wha...?" After a pause, the voice chuckles. "Anyway. Haven't you ever seen a witch before?"
Carl, Bruno, and Grimaldi turn around, and there behind them is what looks like a typical cartoon witch. She has green skin, messy gray hair, black and orange robes, and of course, a pointy hat.
"My name is Matilda. I'm here to help you."

Please make this canon, DC. I love the idea of the Joker and Harley's hyenas acting like them.> Introduce yourself, Grimaldi, and Bruno to Matilda.
>Hi, Matilda.
Carl introduces himself, Grimaldi, and Bruno. The latter two say hi to Matilda, but they're both unsure about her.
>Who sent you?
>Ask if she's here to kill us.
Carl asks Matilda who sent her, and if she's going to kill them.
"I came of my own accord, dearies. And kill you? Quite the opposite. You trust these two, right, Carl? Why won't you trust me?"
"Carl, I don't think we have much of a choice. I'm not really familiar with this part of Bad Land."
Please make this canon, DC. I love the idea of the Joker and Harley's hyenas acting like them.> Ask Bruno why he's unfamiliar with this part of Bad Land.
Carl asks Bruno why he's unfamiliar. "Well, Grimaldi and I just don't go far from our home often."
>Ask Matilda why she wants to help us.
Carl asks Matilda why she wants to help them.
"I was watching your friends talk to Mr. Shadow. He's suspicious of them. He's not here now, but I think he's going to come back soon. Also, I can give you more supplies. You're gonna want more than just some sticks to defend yourself, Carl!"
"So please, won't you come stay at my house for a few minutes? I get awfully lonely out here..."
"And if there's anything I can do to ensure that you trust me, just name it."
