"Oh, hell. Is this what people do nowadays?" Arma exclaims in annoyance, and turns to Frederick. "The locals better not speak gibberish."

[Is this music better you ingrate?] ♫♪
"I should be able to understand this map. I am ashamed of myself for not being able to interpret this map," said Mega, with disappointment written all over his face. How that got there is anybody's guess, but let's just hope sharpie rubs off easily.
Zunar examines the map for a few moments. "I think that weird thing on the bottom says 'You are here', so that should be a good place to start." Ah yes, leave it to the nerd to figure out what ASCII art is.
"The top left looks something like an industrial zone or a radio tower."
"Oh, hell. Is this what people do nowadays?" Arma exclaims in annoyance, and turns to Frederick. "The locals better not speak gibberish."
Frederick apparently thinks there's some sort of 4th wall to ignore, then walks up to some nearby houses to try and strike up a conversation with the locals. "Hii!" Apparently Kirby is the best way to make a first impression these days. Good job!
"Oh boy, a tourist. Now is such a good time for those..." There seems to be a disgruntled farmer in front of you. He's probably coming back from work. "Oh, right, hello and welcome to Mizu Village, home of the Kirk and Picard farms. Now's not really a good time for touring though. Although I guess if an occupied neighborhood is your idea of a good vacation then please, walk right in."
Off in the distance there's still those people at the gates.
[I just want to put it on record that I actually made this map for the sake of the players, not the player characters. I just thought it'd be funny to put it in-universe, because I'm not having half-an-hour of pushing space and dash over and over go to waste. Anyway, as an example, I've marked where FRD is on the map if you want to look at it again. I have the original on a separate document if I need to undo any change. The thing is, due to how I was drawing the ASCII Map it's both not to scale and actually inaccurate as at least two building are missing. Although Nan did label them as unimportant so I guess it won't matter anyway. Expect me to update this map if anything interesting is worth marking.]
[In the off chance something about your character sheet doesn't feel right, let me know and I'll double-check to see if I screwed up anything.]

What the flying ♥♥♥♥?! That's not Harmless behind the fourth wall... What the heck happened to Harmless?! Oh well. At least they listened to me!
"How rude! I'm not some sort of tourist!" Frederick gives this man a doubtful look and crosses his arms. "Though I don't think I've really heard of the Kirk and Pickard farms before."
(and yes that was intentional, it's actually a jab at how people would say my last name as Pickard instead of Picard
)

[If there is a 4th wall, is there also a 5th wall?] ♫♪
Frederick makes a somewhat pout-ish face for maybe half a second. The he seemed pleased, for no reason whatsoever. Oh well. It didn't take long to get over that, apparently.
"How rude! I'm not some sort of tourist!" Frederick gives this man a doubtful look and crosses his arms. "Though I don't think I've really heard of the Kirk and Pickard farms before."
"Really? Well, you see, that farm over there is the Kirk Farm, and that farm is the Picard farm. They've been in a bit of a friendly rivalry for the past few generations. Although, we're on mostly good terms now. Although the city is currently being occupied by some Tin Dinosaur Coalition or something. I don't know. I've got to keep showing them that yes, I'm me, and no, I'm not smuggling in people with my produce. I seriously don't get why they're so paranoid about that." [The Kirk Farm will be highlighted Yellow on the map, and the Picard Farm will be highlighted Red on the map. No, there's no reason in particular for these colors.]
Off in the distance there's still those people at the gates.
[Daisy tires of your aimless shenanigans] ♫♪
So while Freddy tries to make conversation and the other crew are busy trying to read a map that is impossible to make out, Daisy chases after a lizard or something, and runs into the village. The main crew are all too busy trying to read this godforsaken map while Diasy runs into town.
[The Sparkling Adventures of Daisy] ♫♪
Daisy enters town completely unnoticed. You would think an animal this odd-looking would attract attention, but you're halfway between invisible and ethereal at this point. People are everywhere. Wat do?
[So now Daisy has her own spot on this map.]

Frederick was almost content with the farmer's explanation until he catches something. "Why would this... coalition..." Frederick took just a split second to try and pronounce that last word correctly. "... be worried about people coming into the city? Do you happen to know anything else about them?"

"You think anybody tells me anything? You're be better off asking somebody inside the town. Good luck getting in though. I just know they're armed. Although they don't seem to like this one guy in town. The past few days there's been this traveling Badge Salesman that's been giving them a hard time."
Off in the distance there's still those people at the gates.
[The Colorful Adventures of Daisy] ♫♪
Daisy runs down the street for a bit. To her right seems to be a park area of some kind. She passes by lots of really tall people in armor of some kind. Although, they don't really seem to notice her. Sitting on a Park Bench is some guy in a purple coat. Traffic isn't too particularly busy for some reason.
