First Jiggy | [Accidental Voice/Action] | Crappy Intro!
[It's not every day that you wake up after a particularly good game of kick-the-disembodied-witch-skull-around to discover you are very much not at Spiral Mountain. Or... anywhere you even vaguely recognize. Even if you are a first-class adventuring hero.
Naturally, Kazooie was inclined to blame this on Banjo, because there was no way she'd be stupid enough to get totally lost in her sleep. But Banjo was nowhere to be seen, not even after a good look around with the Amaze-O-Gaze goggles. This was unusual, to say the least - unusual and unsettling. Even if Banjo wasn't exactly the sharpest crayon in the box, it was silly for him to just go off on his own. After all, who was gonna protect him? She was clearly the faster and stronger adventurer - he needed her! What did he think he was doing, going off without her?
But first, to inspect the area, like any real hero. Can't go looking for Banjo without discovering some obvious pathways! ... Which are suspiciously absent from this strange forest she's in. Huh.]
Hey... there's nothing here except a book! No nests of Eggs, Feathers, Notes or anything... What kind of place is this, exactly?! It's weirder than Cloud Cuckooland - at least that had music! [Kazooie scoffs loudly, scratching a claw irritably against the foreign dirt.] And boring... what a dumb place to go to have an adventure! Pah, like the bear would pick anywhere good...
[... Wait, didn't old Winky say something about getting Banjo and Kazooie back in Banjo-Threeie? So this was probably it, huh? (Man, that witch could put herself back together fast.) But Kazooie could live with that - maybe she got to be the main character this time! Or maybe it was like the time she got kidnapped for awhile - only it was Banjo's turn to get kidnapped by the hag, and meanwhile Kazooie could be a hero and kick her butt and rescue the furry lug! Either option was one Kazooie was satisfied with for the time being, even if this was a pretty lame sequel so far. And that meant the book was probably important.
Wait - it's got her name on it. It has to be important. So Kazooie picks it up in her beak carelessly and stuffs it under a wing - if it worked for Canary Mary, it'll work for her for a bit, right?
Then she points herself down the nearest tangle of trees and starts trotting through the forest - so much like Pine Grove on the Isle O' Hags, except... it just goes on forever.]
Man, where's a silo when you need one?

Man, where's a silo when you need one?
action
Things that totally ping Ven: big, talking animals.
So, of course he's going over to see what's up.]
Hey, are you new here?
action
Kazooie gives him a look somewhere between disbelieving and caustic.]
Does anybody have a clue around here?
Nobody tells me anything useful anymore! Banjo-Threeie really sucks so far.
action
[Blinkblink. That's a new one...]
Well, what kinda stuff do you wanna know?
action
One, where the heck am I, two, where do I get my first Jiggy to open the rest of the worlds, and three, whose butt do I have to kick to get it?
action
Well, this place is called Luceti, but I don't think there're any Juggies around. [Whatever those are.]
And we're all kinda stuck here, too. Nobody's been able to find a way out of this world.
action
... It makes no sense. Why the heck would there not be Jiggies?! What kind of sequel IS this?
[She stops, calming down after a moment, but her feathers are quite thoroughly ruffled.] So we're all stuck here? Sounds like a job for a hero!
action
[Nope, still doesn't get it. Ah well.]
So you're a hero?
action 1/2
[Kazooie puffs out her chest with excitement...]
action 2/2
... Except the furry lug's nowhere to be found. Probably got his dumb butt kidnapped or something.
He knows he's not supposed to go off without me! He's a sitting duck without me to cart him around!
action
But! That doesn't last long.]
Don't worry, just because he's not here doesn't mean he's been captured. Sometimes it just takes a while for people to show up.
action
[As far as Kazooie's concerned, any problem can be solved by a liberal application of asskicking.]
action
[Heh. She's got spunk; Ven can appreciate that.]
The problem is, they've got us cooped up inside this barrier, so we can't get to 'em.
action | that "people" was not supposed to have an s :|;
I could fly over it, but there aren't any Flight Pads anywhere around here, and besides I don't have any Red Feathers. [This place is one frustration after another, so far.]
action | I didn't even notice XD
[He always thought birds can fly on their own...]
action | ninja typo! C8
Big flat circular things that I can fly off of by jumping while on 'em. [She'd say something about having to press A, but this ninnies don't know anything about games, apparently.]
It uses Red Feathers to go higher, though, so even if I wanted to fly and could find a stupid Pad, I can't yet. Why wouldn't there be any for me to grab? It's just so dumb.
[The game should totally revolve around Kazooie's needs!]
action
[Huh. Now that's interesting.]
Are they kinda like springs? But you said the feathers help, too... Are they magic?
action
... The Feathers could be magic though, but I never figured it mattered. I just use 'em, I don't need to know how they work!
action
[He can see where she's coming from. Some things don't have to be explained!]
action
Yep! Wouldn't be any help if it didn't.
You sound like you've done some adventuring yourself, Spiky.
Re: action
[Oh, the glorious adventures. Needless to say, Ven perks up pretty quickly once she mentions that.]
I've been to a bunch of different worlds.
action
Re: action
[He's counting them all out on his fingers.]
Neverland, Enchanted Dominion, Deep Space, and that's just some of 'em.
action
Man, you sure know a lotta worlds that I don't.
I wonder if those'll be in another sequel of mine... Can you get to 'em here?
action
No, I can't open up a path. If I could, then maybe I'd be able to help people get home.
action
[Is he like Master Jiggywiggy? Kazooie is intrigued, despite herself.]
How d'ya do that?
