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?
no subject
You're from Cloud Cuckooland? [Really? Really?]
This place is called Luceti.
no subject
Nah, I just beat up most of the locals. [She says this flippantly, like crazy-sounding names are normal.]
... Luceti?! What kinda stupid sounding name is that?!
no subject
And it's a name you're going to have to get used to I'm afraid.
no subject
... That just reminds her of Banjo. That idiot had better be in this place!]
It just sounds dumb. Names should have more than one part! Really, this has gotta be the worst game ever.
no subject
I haven't heard of anyone called Grundy around here. And there is more things wrong with this place than it's name.
I'm sorry to tell you this. But the people who wake up here are stuck here.
...Game?
no subject
... Stuck here? A couple of other guys have said stuff like that, so I guess they weren't kidding around.
And yeah. Banjo-Threeie. You know, a sequel? The cast of characters gets weirder all the time!
no subject
I wouldn't joke about this. I've been here for months now and still haven't found a way out.
Banjo Three ree? This is no game and I have no idea what your talking about.
no subject
... Whelp. And here's another person who doesn't know what a game is...]
Look, just... never mind. So we're stuck here for some reason. Banjo's probably around here somewhere, then...
Seen a lazy brown bear in yellow shorts anywhere around?
no subject
I haven't seen any bears here. Most of the people around here are human.
He might show up later in the cycle.
no subject
Humba Wumba's species is never mentioned by name...]Most people are one of those, here? Man, this place is weird already.
no subject
The fact it pulled you out of your world didn't make it weird to start with? [knuckles has been to stranger places, but he's never gone to those worlds without a portal.]
no subject
[To be fair, Kazooie usually hasn't either. But she's used to messed-up locales, so this wasn't her first concern.]
Well... yeah! It's weird! Just - you know, weirder! [She's obviously a little flustered.]
Usually I'd start a new game on Spiral Mountain.
no subject
[Again with thinking this is a game?] There are mountains here if you want to check them out? But I guess you'd been better off going to the welcome centre first.
no subject
They're all pretty weird looking, though.
[She can't help it.]
Welcome Centre? [There is a definite skeptical note in that tone.]
no subject
Heh, no it's not like a "welcoming committee" they really do want to help new arrivals.
no subject
Except for Heggy's Egg Shed and a few other hidden locales...] Mostly I just gotta figure out what to do to get my first couple of Jiggies.no subject
but you might find it faster if you just fly over the trees. [You sure don't look a flightless bird, Kazooie. And what do you mean first couple of Jiggies?]
What are Jiggels? Money?
no subject
Can't fly without a Flight Pad or Red Feathers... though I could probably Glide most of the way. [Leg Springing up into the trees would work.]
... Jiggies are big gold jigsaw pieces. Master Jiggywiggy can use 'em to power the Crystal Jiggy to open worlds.
So far I haven't seen any, which is really dumb.
no subject
If Jiggies can be used to open worlds the Malanosso probably make sure none will show up. They're the ones that have us stick here inside the barrier.
no subject
Huh. Well, I'm sure if I can kick their butts, I can get 'em to let us outta here!
no subject
Finding them won't be easy. [Knuckles holds a hand up clenched into a fist.] They know most of us would just love to get our hands on them.
no subject
There's gotta be a way into that barrier-thing... [Maybe a small hole she can walk a Clockwork Kazooie Bomb into, even.]
