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?

[OK, not the 'nicest' bird she ever met, but then again she got to known some really obnoxious people in the past days, so that really isn't the worst that bird could say.]

I didn't see anyone like that, sorry.

Do you, hm, want help looking for him? [Because, even though Peach is as lost as she can be, she still wants to be helpful.]

Sheesh. [As irritated as Kazooie looks by this, somewhere in the back of her head she's a bit worried. This probably means he got himself kidnapped. Great.]

The faster I find the big lug, the quicker I can get outta this dump. Though I wouldn't be against running into ol' Grunty too - she's probably behind this latest mess. 'Cause I sure wouldn't wake up in the middle of a forest by myself!

I.... don't remember hearing anything about someone called Grunty around here. It seems like someone called Malnosso is behind people being dragged to this place. Or so I've been told.

And I think finding your friend isn't really going to be enough to take you out of here... [She hates breaking bad news to people, but it's better than hiding the truth.]

[This stops Kazooie right in her tracks - first, because it's so totally out of left field, and secondly, because nothing has ever stopped her from exiting a world before, excluding boss scenes and the like.]

... What?!

What the heck is a Mal-what-o? And why's it stopping us from leaving? I bet it won't be stopping anybody after I pelt it with Grenade Eggs!

By the cound of it, the Malnosso is whoever, or whatever, brought us here.

But it's not exactly it that's keeping us here. Is a force field around this world you see. And, according to what people told me, it is a quite indestructible one. I don't think Grenade Eggs would be enough to break it.

[She sounds highly frustrated as she explains that; She kind of wished those grenades would work.]

Something that doesn't break to Grenade Eggs... [This is pretty new for Kazooie, but there are things that need ways around them. Puzzles. In Kazooie's experience, though, there's always some way.]

Maybe it needs Jiggies to open it or somethin'. Is Master Jiggywiggy anywhere around?

Hm... I'm sorry but I don't think this person is around here either, but I'm kind of new to this place, so I could be wrong.

What this master does? [Because, well, anything or anyone that could get them out of there would be good.]

Jiggywiggy's the guy who oversees the Crystal Jiggy - this big shiny Jiggy that unlocks all the world entrances. Last game, we couldn't get into 'em until he opened the way for us.

Pretty sure this has gotta be something similar, right? They wouldn't be that dumb, making worlds we can't get into...

Hmm... So it works like the Pure Hearts then. [She ponders for a moment. They did open the doors to the next words back in Flipside. She just doesn't get that 'game' part, but she isn't going to ask about it.]

Well, I'm pretty sure that if a person like that were around, people would be able to escape from this place, but seems like everyone is stuck in here.

Pure Hearts...? What're those? [It's nothing Kazooie's ever heard of. Maybe that's the name for Jiggies wherever this one comes from? Jiggies get all sorts of stupid names from people.]

Well, I dunno. It doesn't make sense that there wouldn't be a way to get into the next world! There's always a way. Maybe Note Doors...?

They are, like, huge jewel-like hearts that emanate light energy. [Certainly not a Jiggy... whatever that is.]

Hmm... Wait! This is all sounding really familiar! I had to gather the Pure Hearts back home to open the doors to other worlds too! [There's clearly a pattern here...]

[Yeah, doesn't sound like a Jiggy. But the similarities are uncanny.]

That's really weird. Why would they make something do the exact same thing as Jiggies, but make them different? Tired of big gold puzzle pieces?

Hearts sound pretty sissy to me. [Says the girl that literally spits grenades.]

Well, they were quite beautiful. They looked like giant jewels.

So... they are like puzzle-pieces in your world.

But, all these similarities... what do they really mean? Do you think we should look for any of those around here? [It could be possible to find a Pure Heart in that world. After all, they found those in the weirdest places.]

I've been looking for Jiggies, but there's none in this dumb forest. No Eggs, Feathers, or Notes either - what a gyp! [Kazooie makes a little noise of irritation.] But if we can find a few Jiggies, or some of those Pure Hearts you're talking about, maybe we can get through that stupid barrier and get outta here.

[She trots a bit further up the path, peering around.] I mean, you can't have a puzzle with no solution. That's just stupid.

[... Unless it's like one of those invisible walls that stop Kazooie from going places...

... Nah. It wouldn't be like that, would it? Kazooie doesn't even want to think about what that would mean, yet. She'd rather assume there's some method of getting past.]

[Well, there are no coins, nor mushrooms, or fire-flowers or anything from Peach's home there either, so she knows just how frustrated Kazooie is, in that aspect.]

The strange thing is that, we usually went through doors to get to the place where the next Pure Heart was. I don't remember falling asleep and getting to a new place. [Well, she was, technically, dead, so maybe things worked different now.]

But, you are right. A puzzle without a solution seems rather pointless to me.

You got dragged here in your sleep too, huh? [At least, Kazooie figures she was asleep. She couldn't have been playing kick around forever, no matter how much fun it was to kick Grunty's stupid bony head around.]

It better not happen too often! I prefer knowing where I'm going to wake up.

I'm sure if I keep looking, I'll find a solution... giving up isn't what a hero does!

Can't say I don't agree with you. [She isn't very keen on waking up on random locations like that.]

If you are decided to go after a solution, then I'll be happy to help you out with anything! [She says, smiling.] Oh! My name is Peach by the way.

The name's Kazooie, half of the bear-and-bird duo, Banjo and Kazooie! I'm the better half. [She grins confidently.

And Peach... just watch your name turn into Peachy or something. Kazooie throws around nicknames a lot.]

So how're you gonna help me, Peachy? Good at kicking butt?

[She can't help but giggle a little at that.

And she has no problem with nicknames, really.]

Well, I can't really fight all that well, but I can help gather information about this place if you want. [Because, essentially, that's pretty much all she done on the first two games: feed Mario with info on the enemies steps.]

Information? [Dubious note, here. Kazooie doesn't need information! Except when she does and just refuses to acknowledge that fact.]

I guess figuring out what to do with that barrier's the first thing. Or where to get something to eat around here. I knew I shoulda tried to race for Canary Mary's lunch...

I'll try and make some research on that barrier then.

[She smiles at Kazooei warmly.]

Oh, if you are hungry, I can make you something. I mean, I'm quite good at cooking. [And that also gives her something to do.]

[This, Kazooie can get behind.]

Good with millet or something? I haven't had millet in weeks. [Though, heck, seeds in general would be good... Or fish... Kazooie is a breegull after all. ~~Though canon never specifies exactly what she likes to eat.~~]

Hmm... I never made millet before, but I think it wouldn't be too hard!

[When it comes to cooking, Peach can learn fast!]

So what are you anyway? I mean, you're pretty... pale. Are you one of those human-things? [Kazooie has seen a few of you human type things before and is still very surprised that, so far, there is a distinct lack of green skin.]

Though anybody who can cook up a good bag of millet's okay in my books!

Well, I'm a human, yes. I guess they aren't very common back where you came from, right?

[Peach never saw any humans with green skin. But on the other hand, she has seen some pretty strange beings throughout all her life, to the point where a big talking bird is no surprise to her.]

I was so excited to see a Kazooie when i saw the apps XD

I thought it was cool we were getting a Peach! 83

Awh <3 Maaaan, it has been forever since I played Banjo Kazooie in any shape or form...

I have yet to really do so myself 8| Missing the N64 and not having an XBox sets me back

LJ working for a split second /rejoices

It... works and then doesn't work here 8|;;;

OK, it seems to be stable over here... for now.

Let's hope it stays that way D:

Let's!!!
