Chapter 1: Life Lesson

[CJ]

Come on, grab your friends. We'll go to very distant lands...

---

In the Land of Ooo in Candy Kingdom, the city made of sweets and sugar, a royal meeting was happening in the royal Castle of Princess Bubblegum.

The princess herself stood at the end of the Grand Hall. It was perhaps the most regal room many of our fair heroes had ever seen, given the usual locales of the Land of Ooo. Those summoned would have to walk or somehow traverse the majestic stairs to the castle door where they would be greeted by candy castle guards.

Princess Bubblegum wore her typical princess garments with her beautiful jeweled crown. She folded her hands together quaintly and awaited those who would arrive.

For earlier that day, she sent a pertinent message.

Mr. or Mrs. Brave Warrior(s),

I specifically ask for your assistance for a very important task. It is one that requires the greatest courage. There are perils and trials are I am assured you will face but the good you will perform will outweigh them all.

There will be a party and cake afterward for all those who help! I hope to see you at my royal castle in the Candy Kingdom soon.

Princess Bonnibel Bubblegum

A not so typical boy stood at her side. He wore a wolf hat with fuzzy ears and a cute tail at the back of his neck. He wore a dark blue military uniform. It was clear he was not part of the Candy Kingdom for he was not candy nor did the Kingdom have a formal military. He looked up at the Princess and groped at his chest by his heart with a deep, worrying frown.

"Don't worry," the princess said with a confident smile. "The heroes I have called are the bravest of them all. You will see!"

(OOC: I'm allowing players to introduce their characters however they see fit.

[Sprite]

The palace doors began rumbling with the mighty approach of something that shook the very Land of Ooo to its core with each mighty step. Crumbs and candy dust fell from the ceiling and the majestic palace seemed to quiver in its foundations as...

NIBBLE NIBBLE CHOMP CHOMP

With a sound like a jackhammer a giant squirrel promptly ate its way through the palace doors, which like the rest of the castle was made from delicious sweets and candy. The majestic beast pawed a few more steps into the castle through its self-made door and settled down to nibble and gnaw at the last couple chunks of sweetness it held between its paws.

Seated astride the mighty awe-inspiring beast was a figure so small...but so majestic. The sunlight streamed in copiously from the hole in the door, blindingly silhouetting the diminutive but mighty figure. A beautiful cape of verdure caked with mud old and fresh swung in the breeze. In one arm the figure held a polished and beautiful truncheon of the finest wood, the handle bound in lush ivy and fresh new leaves sprouting from the shaft. In the other arm was a round buckler glowing with magical and eldritch forces. The figure wore a beautifully crafted breastplate of oak, despite the tiny twig like arms that projected from the armholes, the figure still seemed to exude strength and charisma. The hero's face was shrouded by an intimidating and commanding knight's helm, the visor disguising every detail of the stranger's face.

FWOOSH

Two brilliant leafy green wings unfolded to the figure's sides, bathing the palace room in green light as the figure sheathed his weapon to raise his visor, piercing black eyes gazed out at the princess and her guest as he cleared his throat to speak in a deep booming voice.

"I answer the call..for I am-WAHHHHH!!!"

Nutsworth the Giant Squirrel shook a bit as a crumb got stuck in his throat and the majestic figure took a not so graceful tumble from the steed's back and fell to the floor, the visor crashing down painfully over his face.

"I'm okay I'm okay!", squeaked the mystery knight in a more natural childish voice.

Struggling to his feet and holding his breastplate to keep it from slipping off his thin spritely frame, the visor was raised once more as small black circles beamed out at the royal audience.

"Your hero of fables, Barklay Barkins, The Sprite Knight is heeeere!"

Nutsworth the Giant Squirrel raised his head and gave a mighty squirrely roar...or maybe he was just trying to clear his throat.

[CJ]

"AHHHH! THE CASTLE!"

"RUN!"

"IT WAS SUMMONED FROM THE BLACKNESS."

The candy people were all terrified of Barkley's giant squirrel. Their reaction was understandable, considering the number one fear they had was being eaten alive by some terrible foe.

There was only one person, aside from Princess Bubblegum, who wasn't screaming in absolute terror. The wolf hatted (perhaps) human boy's eyes sparkled immensely at the new arrival. They grew and grew till they almost encompassed his entire face.

"Sprite... Knight! Hero with... brave heart!" he exclaimed.

The boy walked gracefully across the Grand Hall in the very opposite direction the Candy people were going. He looked down at the newcomer with a wide smile.

"I, Randall, Warrior of Tuna Kingdom," he introduced himself with a formal bow. "Come far way to seek... bravest warriors... but not thinking I see Sprite Knight. I hear stories of you. Princess tells them!"

"He doesn't mean me," Princess Bubblegum injected as sweetly as she could. "He means Tuna Princess."

Randall stiffened for a good three seconds after hearing "Tuna Princess." His eyes retained their huge quality, as though seeing something very beautiful before him.

"Welcome to Candy Kingdom, Mr. Barkins," Princess Bubblegum stepped forward and moved Randall slightly to the side. "I thank you for having responded to my call but... I do hope your noble steed does not devour any of the candy people. Unlike the walls and streets, they have ambitions."

The princess smiled kindly.

"I will explained more about why I have summoned you here when the others arrive."

"I so happy to meet you. You're hero!" Randall exclaimed again. He stepped back in front of Princess Bubblegum in an attempt to furiously shake the sprite's hand.

[Shark a' Pult]

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-"

*clop* *clop* *clip* *clop* *cloppity* *clip*

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-"

*clap* *clank* *clunk* *clapper* *cling*

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-"

The orangey hawaiin-shirted figure had made it up three steps, stopping with his hands on his knees to heavily breathe in and out pretty much every step. He had received a summons that morning and had set out extra early to be there extra early, but at this rate he would probably miss the meeting altogether. He made the assumption that the giant squirrel which had ridden by not seconds before probably had something to do with the summons, hence its haste and direction.

That, or it was just another giant squirrel attack. It was surprising how often those happened in the Candy Kingdom. Why not the Nut Kingdom? Or the Kingdom of Seeds? But nope, it was the Candy Kingdom.

[Kyubey]

Squeak. Squeak. Squeak. Squeak. SqueeeeeeeeKLONKCLANG. Squeak. Squeak.

A bed, or, to be more precise, a hideously unnatural contraption on wheels, rolled into the Royal Hall, making loud and incredibly irritating sounds as it went along on its way. Normally the sounds were simple creaks and squeaks, but every now and again it would make a louder, more pathetic noise. If the bed was alive, it would probably be pleading for someone to kill it. The occupant of the bed didn't seem to mind the noise, and seemed to be resting over the din of her mode of transportation. If you were to look closely, you could perhaps see the top of her head, but little else. One finger on a remote control slowly pushed the terrible machine forward. How the thing even got past the stairs was anyone's guess. From the look of things, it couldn't even get past a plain field without falling to pieces.

The machine pushed forward through the hall, until it very nearly collided with Princess Bubblegum, before grinding to an awful screeching halt. The small figure in the bed rose, albeit slowly, like a zombie rising from the dead. The figure, a girl of some kind, groggily opened her eyes, looked around, and then took a sip from a glass of milk that was next to her pillow. She looked around, blinking uncaringly at each person, taking only a moment to observe everyone present, without reacting to any of them at all.

"Hi there. This is the right place? Yeah, it should be. I'm the hero. Maybe. I got a letter, so I guess I am. I'm... I'm uh... I'm me. the milk hero. Or heroine. Or whatnot. Call me Sleepy Milk Girl. That sounds right. Yeah. G'night."

She took another sip of milk, then fell back to sleep.

[Kuro]

Amidst the loud and odd scenes, a single being appeared with not a whisper and had gone unnoticed by most at his sudden appearance. He floated a little bit above ground level somewhere in the room, and after Ms. Girl went to sleep, the ghost cleared his throat and began talking, his voice quiet.

"Greetings to all present and those to arrive. I am rather lucky to be in such a lavish room with such interesting characters. I am Theodore, a simple and humble ghost who, unfortunately, brings troubling news: The one who the summons was intended for has ran off and gone on his own adventures, never to come back again. I found this letter in his abandoned home and decided to make sure that such a privilege not go to waste."

Actually, he had thrown some do-gooder off of a cliff and saw the letter in the wreckage.

"I know that I may not seem like much, but I sincerely hope that I can be of assistance in this valiant quest."

Now, when did the cake and party and the such begin?

[Hitotsumami]

A cloud in the sky over Candy Kingdom. Or was it? Well, the bottom looked like a cloud. But if you knew everything like he did, you'd know this was no cloud.

It was a butt.

But not just any butt. THE butt. The butt of a God.

His name was Know it All in high school, smarty pants by his parents, but he goes by Lord GodMan Smarts. But that is Smarts to you. Yeah, you.

Right now he was just idly floating along the blue green sphere known as The Land of Ooo. It's been his home for a few thousand years and he wasn't planning on moving any time soon. Main reason being he was on a two year lease on his apartment. Great view though.

Nevertheless, he spent most of his time floating about minding his own business, which happened to be the business of everything in the universe, but don't worry about that right now. He had just realized he was floating over a castle, the castle of Princess Bubblegum to be specific, and noticed some commotion was going on.

He knew exactly what he knew, and that was he knew nothing about what was going on down there. And that was a peculiar thing. For yous see, Smarts knows everything. And when I say everything, that means everything. And since he doesn't know whats going on down there in the Castle, he knew something wrong was going on.

So he floated on down, but didn't enter completely. He stayed floating in the main halls and listened, waiting to see what all the commotion was about.

[Sprite]

As the various heroic and some not so heroic figures filed into the palace chamber, Barkeley observed them all with a keen twinkle in his eye. Each individual was more fantastical and unique then the last! But of course...here the sprite's chest puffed out a bit as he leaned back on his club with a smug grin. He was the only REALLLLLL hero here after all. Hehe.

The sudden extended hand from the hyoooooooooooman startled the Sprite Knight a bit and losing balance his club slipped out from underneath him and he fell to the floor with a crash and clatter as his armor wobbled about, his visor fell on his face again too.

"I'm fine I'm fine!"


Grabbing Randall's hand as best as he could with his own small wood sprite hand, Barkely shook the tuna warrior's hand up and down from his prone position on the floor, finishing by using the exuberant fan's hand to pull himself back up into a standing position and flourished his majestic weapon to the ceiling as if nothing had happened.

"So Princess! What is our glorious quest?!"

[Neurotick]

Bree the one-and-only human had never been to the Candy Kingdom before. It was officially the farthest away from her house tree (that is not a tree house) that she had ever been. It was new, and exciting, and a grand totally genuine adventure with trials and danger and a princess in distress and everything! The note that had been posted at the edge of the wood sprite forest said so. OK, so it wasn't really posted anywhere and it was just kind of floating in the breeze like someone had lost it, but that just meant it was a sign from above! This was going to be her big break in the adventuring business, Bree could tell.

If only she knew where the heck she was going. Candy Kingdom was huge and confusing and she kept getting turned around and none of the candy people were helpful at all!

"Just go to the big castle," one would say.

"You can't miss it!" Another would chime in.

"Stop eating my house!!" Was another common one. Bree had been walking all day, she was hungry.

"Well Wikuwi, what do you think? Any idea where this 'Princess Bubbleyum's' castle might be?" Bree turned to her bestest Wiku Wiku Worm friend in the world, who had a habit of sitting on her shoulder most of the time.

Wikuwi looked at Bree with a blank expression. He pointed his tail end to their left and simply stated, "wiku."

Bree looked to where he was pointing, and sure enough there was the big Candy Kingdom castle right in front of her.

"Awesome!" Bree exclaimed, ignoring the fact that she had completely missed the towering structure since she had first set foot in the Candy Kingdom.

Without a single moment of hesitation Bree darted up the stairs, making her way for the adventure she totally knew was coming any second now. On her way up she happened to pass a strange tree man in a colorful shirt, with an orange for a head. At first she ran right by him without a second glance, but once she was a few dozen steps away she stopped, turned around, and ran right back down, stopping right in front of the orange-headed person, her perky little human nose barely inches away from his big orange head.

"Hey dude! You OK? You look like you're having trouble. You going to go see the princess? So am I! that's such a crazy random coincidence," Bree spoke rapidly, all the while bouncing on her toes. She didn't wait for him to respond before deciding, "I'm gonna help you!"

Bree could easily pick up the orange man with one arm--whether he wanted to be picked up or not--because she was awesome like that, and sprinted up the stairs with him in tow. as she approached the big doors leading to the castle she raised the orange man high above her head and shouted at the adorably sweet and squishy guards, "ADVENTURER HERE! HOLD THE DOOR~!"

Bree raced through the castle and skidded to a halt in the grand hall where everyone was gathered. She set the orange man down on her way in, next to a potted plant she mistook for someone the orange man might know. She hardly even noticed that there was a hole in the castle where a giant squirrel had eaten its way through, instead making her way front and center to the middle of the grand hall.

"Hey princess! Sorry I'm late!" Bree introduced herself, by which I mean she shouted at Princess Bubblegum with a big smile on her face, "I'm Bree! I'm here to help...you..."

Bree's fast talk slowed down significantly when she happened to look upon a certain wolf-hatted individual who looked very much like...her! Bree's eyes grew wide. She covered her mouth, which was hanging open from surprise. Had she really found another...!?

"Oh...my...log!" Bree exclaimed. She was so focused on the boy she thought was a human that she didn't notice that one of her adopted siblings that she hadn't seen in years was there too. Wikuwi, on the other hand, gave the Sprite Knight a courteous nod and a smile.

"Wiku wiku wi," said Wikuwi, which was a common greeting for Wiku Wiku Worms. Not to be confused with "wikuwiku wi," which was an insult involving one's mother and a stale bagel.

[Shark a' Pult]

"Well I do declare!"

Being carried by the stranger all the way up to the castle was a largely unwelcoming experience, though it did save time and effort. He just didn't want to have to pay them. Fortunately he was instead set down, alongside a plotted plant.

"Evenin' Rydell, fancy on meetin' you're 'n up in heer! S'ows the people?"

"It's only just afternoon Clem, but it's good to see you. The family's fine, little Susie sprouted her first leaf. So what brings you up here then?"

"Nuttin' impa tickler. Nomly I ruther busy m'self with the urnge bidness on account a s'rite sees'n fer it. 'Cept thisere yunmiss ain't got no cawmin curtsee and gone dun' hoist me up yonder an tumped me awn the flaw. Reckons I gotsta looksie 'bout thisere mayol I gots furm the Pidness."

"Take care then, I won't hold you up."

"Midy kand, I ain't fixin' on bean lade. Tay kur naw."

With a clip, a clop, and a clip-clip-clippity clap cloperdoodle, Clem made his way to the main meeting hall. That is, he followed after the person who had forcibly dragged him up here in the first place. When he actually did reach the chamber, he peeked around the corner to see if it was the right place, and when it was he made his way in with a holler.

"Well naw, ain't ya'll as fan as lookin' as a crème brûlée!"

There were quite a few of them, but they were all so different that he didn't fell out of place, which was usually the norm when living in the candy kingdom as a fruit tree. It'd be good to put the best foot forward when meeting these people.

[CJ]

"Oh hello, Ms. Bree!" Princess Bubblegum exclaimed. She went to greet her personally. "It is so good to finally meet you."

Randall was happy to see each and every individual, especially Barkley even Theodore who should have been rather frightening. Maybe it was just the happiness of having a spiritual companion on their journey. He smiled confusingly at Sleepy Milk Girl, who he wasn't exactly sure what to make of. Clem he just figured to be a good old dude.

He noticed the human girl who had entered. Unlike her, he took her arrival quite calmly. Although he did pat his face and laugh kindly at her. She probably wouldn't know he was entertained by her freckles.

"Good I meet you all," Randall began, addressing the group. "I ask and I receive- BUTTOCKS. CURSE OF MAGIC MAN COME DOWN IN FORM OF BUTTOCKS. FIGHT. NOW."

Randall pointed at the butt of Smarts who was floating around the Grand Hall. His chest puffed in and out as he became fearful of the presence.

"No, no, Randall," Princess Bubblegum laughed. "That's our dear and wonderful Lord Godman Smarts."

"Oh," Randall muttered. He sheathed his sword and stepped back.

Princess Bubblegum stepped forward and addressed the lot of them in her sweet, innocent way.

"Now, would everyone calm down and listen please. Randall is going to explain why he needed me to call you here."

Randall coughed and pursed his lips, thinking seriously.

"Magic Man bad man," he began. "He come and take Tuna Princess away and put Tuna Kingdom high above water. No water bad for Tuna People. No water and they have no homes. So bad. Need fight Magic Man."

Princess Bubblegum looked over and smiled sadly at Randall, who was trying his best to relay his story. She immediately decided it would be best for her to take over.

"Well, what Randall means is that the Magic Man-"

"MMMMMMMAGIC MANNNNNNNNNNN~"

Along with the singing voice, a poof of wondrous display of glitter and fireworks exploded above the guests. They made an obnoxiously loud sound, likely enough to shock most of the people there. A green figure clad in yellow tattered clothing appeared in the burst and floated delicately to the floor.

"Magic Man!" Randall shouted in anger. He drew his coral-hilt sword.

"Yes, it is I! Magic Man!" the titled one proclaimed with a tip of his hat. "I see that you're not appreciating the magic favor I granted you yesterday, Randall boy!"

"No magic favor! Bad thing!" Randall stepped closer.

"Ahhhhhh?" Magic Man asked, holding up his ear. "What was that?"

"Magic Man can turn situation back. He can make peace. Do now!"

"Nope!" he clapped. "You still haven't learned my magical life lesson. Let's see if these people here can learn it for you."

Magic Man stood at the ready, standing toward the back of the room at the last window. An aura glowed about his hands.

"What is a companion?" he asked happily. "A miserable little pile of secrets. Have at you!"

The wizard-like being danced about in his place, sending off firework magic in all directions of the room. Each guest there would be targeted with a brief burning spell.

Randall was hit almost immediately with one when he made his charge toward Magic Man. Unlike a simple burn though, he immediately froze and began to shake slightly, staring forward without reacting.

[Hitotsumami]

Smarts had no intention of getting involved with whatever Princess Bubblegum had summoned all of these strange people/things for. He was just stopping by because he noticed there was something he didn't know. Which was DEFINITELY out of the ordinary.

So he stood there, well more like floated, and listened to what she had to say. As far as he could gather, there was this being called Magic Man who showed up and put the Tuna Kingdom above water.

That didn't particular seem to be a problem for Smarts. He liked tuna in oil more than water anyway. It tastes much better that way. Especially spread on crackers, he could spend years with something like that. But then he realized that this isn't the tuna he was used to. This was real life tuna.

Serious tuna.

Before Smarts could respond, however, it seemed the being himself, Magic Man, appeared out of nowhere and started shooting off burning spells.

Smarts had no way of stopping it, so it hit him directly giving him a pretty annoying sting.

"Not cool man," said Smarts, rubbing the area affected. Then he realized something.

He didn't see that attack coming. He didn't even know who the Magic Man was. But he was Lord GodMan Smarts. He knew EVERYTHING. Why didn't he know this...? Could there be something, or someone, around that was causing his abilities to weaken..?

But he had no time to think about that at the moment. Magic Man was here and causing problems.

[Sprite]

Upon the sudden appearance of Magic Man, Barklay being the experienced hero he was had already begun unslinging his shield from his back and drawing his weapon!

"OOF. DANG NABBIT."

...

"NNNNGGGGHHHHH. PFFFFFFFFFF STICKS."

...

"NYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH."

...

"What is a companion? A miserable little pile of secrets. Have at you! - HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH..."

The entire time Barklay had been struggling to pull his buckler from his back where the strap had gotten tangled in his backpack and a splinter from his club had snagged itself on his pants and he had been attempting to wrestle it free inadvertently giving himself a wedgie.

By the time the first volley of burning rockets had been loosed, the Sprite Knight had managed to draw forth his weapons with a triumphant yell and flourished them at The Magic Man ready to charge when he took two of the magic shots directly to the face. One had been meant for Nutsworth the Squirrel but the smart forest animal giant had neatly sidestepped and looked back in naive curiosity.
"WAAAAAAAHAAAAGAGAGGAGA"



Clutching his face and screaming comically, Barklay was down on the floor rolling about trying to put out a nonexistent fire on his face. Upon realizing that the stinging was only the effects of the spell and not an actual fire however, the angry Sprite got to his feet and mounted his mighty steed. Throwing on his helm and lowering the visor over his face, he and Nutsworth seemed to grow more menacing, two glowing dots from within the darkness of his helmet indicating his righteous glare upon the Magic Man, the sprite knight raised his club and spoke once more in a deep booming voice.

"HAVE AT YE, VILLAI- BLAGHA!"

Another cluster of the burning spells barreled straight into Barklay's chest and sent him flying off of Nutsworth back as the giant squirrel settled down to lick at his paws. Barklay's buckler spun comically in the air where Barklay had been holding it up a moment before, it then fell to the ground promptly snapping brutally in half with a flash of sparkles that died out with a farting noise.

Content that his paws were clean of any sweet crumbs from his earlier snacking on the castle, Nutsworth got up and with a ferocious squirrely roar, launched himself at the Magic Man intent on cracking his head open like a tasty giant nut with his formidable squirrely buck teeth.

Meanwhile, Barklay had struggled to his feet again and charged to try and flank the Magic Man, but ended up intercepting a burning spell intended for Princess Bubblegum, and fell into a skid on the floor.

[Neurotick]

Bree was so enraptured with the very notion that there might be other humans out there in the land of Ooo that she hardly noticed that Princess Bubblegum was actually interested in meeting her. But she did notice eventually, which just made her wonderfully enraptured face even more wonderfully enraptured. A princess knew about Bree, and she had actually wanted to meet her! Bree was totally speechless because everything. Wikuwi Just shook his little wormy head, but he was careful not to shake it too hard and mess up his beautiful head of finely-coiffed worm hair.

Then the Magic MAAAAAN showed up and started messing with all the stuff, and Bree had to do some actual adventuring things. She pulled her battleaxe off her back and blocked off a squiggly firework thing with one fluid move and a super awesome battle cry of, "RAAAAAWR!"

A second squiggly firework spell came her way and she managed to deflect that one out of the way too, but the third one managed to make contact on her shoulder. The shoulder with Wikuwi on it. Wikuwi got a face full of firework and went flying, probably less from the squiggly firework spell and more from Bree reflexively reacting to the firework.

Bree held her shoulder briefly, then was back to swinging her battleaxe around. She charged forward and yelled random angry vowels and consonants at the magic man, but stopped when she heard a friend of hers cry out from behind her, "Wiku!"

"Wikuwi!" Bree stopped her angry battleaxe charge and ran back to pick up her little wormy friend, who had a burnt looking face but didn't seem all that hurt. The worst that had happened was he had lost a few strands of his super majestic coif, which was enough to make Wikuwi faint because that coif was practically all a Wiku Wiku Worm lived for.

"Wi...ku..." Wikuwi managed to say one last thing before he passed out. Bree shed a single tear for her fallen comrade. She put Wikuwi in her bandana for safekeeping (since he was unconscious he couldn't very well hang out on her shoulder) then whipped back around and brandished her battlaeaxe in Magic Man's direction.

"Magic man...you big doodoo head!" Bree began her charge again, "You hurt my friend!"

He technically had also hurt her brother, but Bree didn't really notice that at all. She didn't even really recognize the little guy, since he was all dolled up in a bunch of armor and had a giant squirrel.

Bree aimed her charge low while the giant angry squirrel aimed high, hoping to catch the magic man off guard.

[Kyubey]

Sleepy Milk Girl stayed asleep during most of the talking, not really paying attention to anyone in particular. She was listening, though, and got the basics of what everyone said, but any opinions she had would stay with her. That is, except for, "Can't put citrus in milk. Not a good idea," which she murmured in her sleep. "Or ectoplasm. Or humans. Or butt. Nope. Never tried those, don't think I will. Milk alone is best. And milk alone with chocolate, but... eh, too much work."

When Randall began telling his sad story, only then did Sleepy Milk Girl rise from her slumber to listen more closely. She was a hero, that's what the note she found said, and it would only make sense for her to listen to what her first heroic mission would be.

"Captured dictator? Why? That what the magic peoples do? They go around, stealing things, and thats what makes them magic? Theft of monarchs? No... that's crazy. Or somethin'. Uh... tuna's also bad in milk, but if tuna's bad in magic too, then we should do... things. After naps."

Naturally, the sudden appearance of Magic Man changed her plans somewhat.

"Uh... learning? You want us to learn? I already learned once. So... like, can that guy have his princess back?"

A burning spell came dangerously close to hitting her head.

"Uh, that a no? Is it? Can't tell. Um.... well, Special Attack. Kinda. Milk Shield."

She tiredly rolled off the bed and hid behind the device, blocking herself from any further spells. She was safe for the time being, but couldn't do much else about the onslaught of magic fire.

"Hey, uh, fellow heroes, I just now decided that you all are the best friends I've ever had in my life, so why not beat up this magic man for me, your comrade? I guess. Am I a comrade? Kinda weird to think about. Never been one of those before. And hey, uh, if you can't fight, that's cool too. You can hide behind my bed with me... if you'd like.
