SUSIE: Does that mean, like... you're that world's Kris? And whoever Kassie is, is me?
* (You nod again.)
SUSIE: Huh.
SUSIE: Cool.
"Alright, enough chatter."
SUSIE: HEY!! WHO ARE YOU?!?
"Oh, don't worry about me. You two have a much more important task to deal with."
SUSIE: LIKE HELL WE DO!! GETTING OUT OF HERE AND KICKING YOUR ASS!!
"Hot-headed as always, Lightner."
* (You demand the triangle-shaped projection to tell you why it brought you and the girl here.)
"Hmm..."
"Well, not like it'll matter in the long haul, anyway."
"I'm rounding up loose souls across this little 'multiverse' I've stumbled into. Too many of you off on your own with no direction or end goal, so I thought it'd be nice to give you one."
SUSIE: And what does THAT mean??? I wasn't even doing anything wrong! I was just walking around Blooper Lake until you decided to snatch me! How many days has it even been?! Weeks!? MONTHS?!
"Probably a good few months, at best, but there's been so much trouble with time dilation between this world and the one beyond that I've since lost track. Again, though, not like that matters."
"I'm repurposing some code from one of Kirb's latest projects for this simulation, and I must say, you'll find it easy to adjust to."
"Just, you know, don't expect a way to escape."
