On finding out muns exist and you can shout at them.

[galactaalignment]

So. You're the one. The one who let me be trapped by Nightmare, who let everyone die. You're the one who didn't want me to have my wish granted, to fix everything, who let me be corrupted - ghk.

...

You sicken me.

Nightmare is back again!?

[This is Kirby at his best, when he can completely misunderstand a situation because he has to help right now damnit.]

[galactaalignment]

A-ah... hello, Kirby.
I'm not certain. I've been told several conflicting stories. Most of them say you defeated him - [And a forced smile at that, because if it's true, he is grateful] - but others that he is still around.

[the_one]

[Oh, this dude knows him? Kirby doesn't recognise him at all because...He's not the brightest. Despite the glaringly obvious mask, Kirby is like most Nintendo characters in that he is apparently incapable of guessing identities.]

Oh, hi Mister. If there's any Nightmares being bad, I've got to make them stop right now! Show me the way!

[BECAUSE THAT'LL WORK!]

[galactaalignment]

[A slight pause, then Galacta shakes his head.] If I knew where Nightmare was, I'd have gone to face him by now myself. He was always notorious for hiding behind his Demon Beasts, and now I've seen few of those.

I was referring to an event that happened many years ago. ...at the moment, I'm more angry at my... mun... for letting all of this happen. I don't quite understand it, but apparently she orchestrated all of those events, and if so... [Quietly seething.]

[[In which I need to draw more icons.]]

[the_one]

Hm! Well, I'm gonna get that Nightmare! Just follow the monsters. [It's what he does. All the food stolen? Follow the monsters. Dreams stop? Follow the monsters. Someone took his cake? Follow the monsters.] It'll all work out if you just try your best, so don't worry about getting angry!

[galactaalignment]

Monsters have been rather few and far between - [Though all the ones that did show up were intensely powerful] - but I'll try. [This time, a more natural grin, as he shoves aside the rest of his thoughts. Dwelling on them before had really bad results.] Thank you, Kirby.

[the_one]

For what? [Kirby was just all over here, being adorable and optimistic. Nothing to be thanking him for.]

[galactaalignment]

[He lifts his hands, palms up, as a sort of shrug.] For trying to help.

[the_one]

Trying to do something is how you get it done, mister.

[galactaalignment]

...true.

[[He'd like to apologize for a certain Magolor-related incident, as he never really got around to doing that. He avoided Kirby instead, which he's rather ashamed about. But... he doesn't think this is the same Kirby, as he's noticed several. So there's no point.]

[Instead, resort to - polite small talk, yes.] How have you been doing recently?

[the_one]

I'm good! There's a place with a lot of people who need help, so I'm kind of busy. But I got to go a hot springs and having a steak eating competition and there's robots...

[Dramatic pause...]

Who make cake whenever you ask!

[Sure it's a torture facility, and Galacta note that Kirby has one blue shoe of an unusual mechanical nature that has his power limited to 25% of the usual but. Hey. Kirby never complains.]

[galactaalignment]

[He's noticed the shoe, if perhaps not the power drop. That he can't normally judge without actually starting a fight - appearances, in his experience, are often very deceiving. But he doesn't know Kirby well enough to feel comfortable asking about that - besides, it's not his business. If it's something he needs to know, he'll be told.]

I'm glad you're enjoying yourself, then. [He rubs his arm awkwardly.] Anything I can assist with?

[the_one]

Uh.

You could tell me who you are?

[galactaalignment]

Ah - oh. Of course. [A different Kirby, so as far as Galacta knows, he hasn't met the knight or one of his... alternates? He never really understood that. Something to do with other worlds, like the Mirror world but not...]

I am Galacta Knight. A pleasure to meet you - [again?] - Kirby.

[the_one]

[Oh he's met him. And whupped his butt twice.]

Wow! You got tall!

[And holds no grudge.]
