Heading to a_facility???

[imfinished]

Have I mentioned I'm not okay with this because I am so not okay with this. Did you even talk to Lady Palutena? I'm pretty sure she didn't sign off on this, and if she did we are going to have to have a serious talk about this at dinnertime.

Speaking of which, do they have even any decent food there? It's surprisingly vital to my survival...Not that I...really even understand how that works.

You can take that up with Lady Palutena, she handles the logistics, I just run around and shoot things.
...Or maybe Mr. Sakurai?

...

What's that? I'm not supposed to talk about Mr. Sakurai when I'm there?
What!? I can't even break the fourth wall!?

Awww...this is the worst idea, ever. Usually when I'm thrown into extremely dangerous places, I at least have Lady Palutena to help me out and keep me out of trouble. It's gonna be so lonely, I'd even go for Viridi at this point...

[Sighhhh...]

Alright alright, I promise I'll try not to talk to myself too much this time...

[nyantan]

Uhhmm, let's do this one at a time...

Who's Lady Palutena?

We have kind of good food, but stores are limited right now.

What's a fourth wall and why would you want to break it?

[imfinished]

Lady Palutena is the goddess of light! She watches over the humans and protects the balance of the world. I'm the captain of Palutena's army, so we hang out a lot!

Oh! So you're there? Is it really as terrible as my Mun says it is? He keeps having these awful fantasies about me having my wings clipped. [His wings wrap around him protectively.]

They already don't work right! What more do you want from me...

...Anyway, as for the fourth wall, it's when you like...Well, for instance, I'm from a video game, so I'll say "Oh no, I sure am running low on health!"
It's like, acknowledging that you're fictional. It's pretty fun! Like, right now, we're not even talking! We're on a website called dreamwidth!

[nyantan]

Oh wow! That sounds like an important and exciting job.

[She means it, too.]

Well, I haven't been there for too incredibly long myself, but when I woke up everything was covered in blood, blegh.

[Her expression turns sour at the thought.]

Oh no! But your wings are so beautiful! But if they don't work right, does that mean you can't fly?

...Oooohhh. I get it now.

[imfinished]

[BIG SIGH.]

I can't fly without the help of Lady Palutena...And even then it's only for five minutes.

[Grumblegrumble.]

It's so unfair, all the centurions can fly...Oh, huh? Beautiful? [He looks at his wings and blinks a few times.]

Well I do wash them regularly. Thanks for the compliment!

[nyantan]

Maybe you can learn how? I mean, they look big enough to carry you...

[She taps her chin, thinking over it.]

No problem! Your outfit is really cute, too. Very greek-esque~

[imfinished]

I've tried. The end result is...hurty.

[Looks down at his clothes.] Really? It's just standard angel stuff, I guess Lady Palutena likes being traditional. I don't think anyone would take me seriously if I were wearing jeans.

[thegreatestboss]

No breaking the fourth wall? Talk about a tough situation. Jokes like those are practically a coping mechanism for you, Pit.

[imfinished]

I know, right? That's like half our act! And how will I know how close to the end I'm getting if there's no loading screens?

[thegreatestboss]

Well, games like these usually end in a slow, agonizing drop. And I don't think you're going to be saved by a convenient platform courtesy of Viridi this time, so you'd better be careful.

[imfinished]

D-Drop!? But I can't even fly without you there!

[thegreatestboss]

Maybe you should make sure to stay away from high places, in that case!

[imfinished]

This thing takes place in space! Everywhere is a high place!

[thegreatestboss]

That just makes it more exciting. Don't worry so much, I'm sure you'll be fine! As long as you stay away from the edges of whatever it is keeping you from falling into space, of course.

[imfinished]

Yeah, I mean, I've handled worse before, right? It's not like I'm gonna let myself float off into space and get my wings get melted by the sun.

You'd have to be pretty dumb to let something like that happen. Seriously.

[shiningascent]

[What's this about talking to yourself]

At least it's not like you're gonna be alone alone up there, though! I mean, it can't be half as bad as the thing with Hades...

And, who knows?! Maybe once someone finds out you're there, they'll bring Lady Palutena to you! Or... something! I'm not sure how this stuff works exactly.

[imfinished]

[Nodnod because this is the most normal thing ever, right?] Thanks, me. I sure hope so...I just know when I get there, people are going to look at my wings and say "Oh wow, you're an angel? You can fly!?"

And then...things are gonna get awkward.
And they're gonna get awkward fast.

[shiningascent]

[Nodnodnod! Nothing strange about this at all.] Ouch, yeah... can't really get around that... but hey!

A handsome, talented chap like ourselves has plenty of other stuff he can do great! Just gotta get 'em to look at that, right?!

[ptooey]

You're being thrown into an entirely different world, and your first concern is whether or not it has good food.

[imfinished]

I can barely get through half a level without any food, how am I supposed to last a whole game?

Why shouldn't I be concerned? I've got my priorities! ...Mostly...

[ptooey]

Now that's just pathetic.

[imfinished]

It is not pathetic! Have you heard what goes on in these places!? It's like intensity level twelve!

[ptooey]

Except you have allies all the time.

[imfinished]

Well, yeah, but from what I can tell, people still die.

...A lot.

Like, underworld a lot.

[ptooey]

So it's not that different than it is at home.
