"The mean squirrel hurted me," the knight blubbered like a little kid.

[Wind he/him]

The squirrel picks up a rock and throws it at the knights face. “There’s more where that came from.”

Melody's eye twitched oddly. "I'm sorry, that's never fun."

[Jaywalk he/him]

The knight stopped crying. "I'm okay." Then he stood up, his hair blowing in the wind. "What seems to be the issue here?"

[Wind he/him]

“Humans, am I right?” The squirrel says to Gerald.

Melody stepped back. "Well, we stepped through a portal made by a man in a green suit, and it took us here. I think we're supposed to rescue these people?"

[Jaywalk he/him]

"Ah, the man in the green suit. He is my father." The knight cocked his head. "I think."

[Condensation she/her]

"You think?"

[Wind he/him]

*confused squirrel noises*

[Condensation she/her]

"How does that work?"

"I used to be human," said Gerald gloomily.

@Jaywalk? Hello?

“I... lost many memories. An incident involving a cooking pot and a bow tie.”

“Okay. So, do you want to help us—well, just me so far, I suppose.”

The squirrel nudges a rock. “Humans, am I right?”

[Jaywalk he/him]

“Well, I’m quite all right.” The knight drew his sword and handed it to Melody. “The story is now in your hands. A world waits to be woven by your words.”

Melody took the sword, somewhat confused. "Thank you," she says. "What am I supposed to do with this?"

[Wind he/him]

“Crack nuts!” The squirrel gets a hungry look on his face.

"Well, every sword is different," said Gerald, "but usually they're used to stab people. Even the magic ones are usually no more than fancy sharp sticks."

"What's wrong with regular sticks?"

[xinoehp512 he/him]

"Nothing, inherently. But a stick doesn't do much to do the impossible." He thought for a moment. "Neither does a sharp stick, for that matter, if you don't know how to use it. Do you you know how to use a sword?" he queried Melody.

"I know how to use a rapier, but not this. And I don't think I'm interested in killing anyone or cracking nuts."

“What? Not interested in cracking nuts? Is that even a thing?!”
