[I honestly don't know what to do besides just a generic greeting to Burt. It's been way too long since anything's happened so I've basically forgotten what we were doing]

[I'm starting to move info to the ITS Discord Channel so that it's easier to browse through it. You guys should probably look into signing up if you haven't yet]

[All the people that supposedly matter right now]

Right now, you're all near that statue that's near the entrance to the main city. Why or how you're there doesn't matter anymore. Nobody seems to remember continuity around here anyway. The guards don't seem to have noticed you yet, though you can definitely see they're moving frantically to try and find you. How you don't stick out with a person in a poncho & mask is anybody's guess.

"Ohey!" Frederick exclaims, "... You came back pretty fast, actually. What happened?"

Burt happily greets everyone. "Sorry, I got lost on the way here."

"Yaaay!!" Frederick raises his hands up in the air.

Mega looks around, mildly confused as to how he arrived here. He simply shakes his head and gives Burt a wave.

[Daisy]

Daisy nudges the Squirtle.

"She talking to you?"

"Yes. I usually only show up here with the priest."

"Oh, where are my manner?" The blue-haired girl exclaims. She looks over at the Eevee. "I'm Marina Blue. Who might you be?"

Despite the fact you might think a blue-haired girl talking to a few small animals would stick out, everybody that vaguely pays attention to the sight seem to just roll their eyes and keep walking.

"... Hey, uh... hold on." Frederick scratches his head. "Where's Hannah and Aiden? Didn't you go with them to help that guy find stuff in the forest?"

"I'm Daisy. I was under the impression that you're a, erm, 'sought-after' woman. Maybe we could talk inside?"

"...We're leaving here, now." Arma attempts to ignore the cosmic retcon that just took place and runs for the exit.

"Apparently the past likes to do complete changes in direction. I'm so confused..." Mega shrugs, but follows Arma anyway.

"Hey, wait, what?!" Frederick didn't even get to finish his questioning as he watches Arma bolt straight for the exit. "Where are you going?!"

"I don't really understand what just happened, but y'know what, I'll go with it." Zunar turns and follows Arma.

Burt blinks in surprise. He says, "Wait, I thought Hannah and Aiden were with you guys." After all, from what he remembers, the whole group had gone ahead of him when they first entered Fall Woods. He had run after them, only to end up completely lost in the forest.

(Note: The part where Burt, Hannah, and Aiden left after the end of the first chapter hasn't been retconned. I know exactly what I'm doing.)

[Okaaaay, damage control. Also, would you guys stop leaning on that 4th wall, please? Much appreciate it. Burt being here is NOT a cosmic retcon. You guys did see him leave with the others. You guys being by the statue probably is a retcon. Considering how long this RPG was on hiatus, continuity on that be damned at this point. I will give you guys a moment to redo some of your moves. Please redo those move if you still want to go through with them. The ones I'm keeping I'll have below.]

The MDA are moving around. They still don't seem to have noticed you, though sometimes they seem to be vaguely looking in your direction now. For whatever reason they still don't seem to notice you despite this.

"I'm Daisy. I was under the impression that you're a, erm, 'sought-after' woman. Maybe we could talk inside?"

"Oh yes, where are my manners? Come in, come in." Marina waves you inward as she herself walks in. You step inside to the smell of freshly baked dough and cinnamon. The Squirtle gently closes the door behind you two. Nothing is particularly unusual about the home apart from the aroma of food. The Squirtle shows you to the living room. After a short moment Marina comes back in with a tray and set it on a coffee table. She then takes two cookies off of it. "Here you two go." She hands a snickerdoodle to the Squirtle and sets her other hand in front of you with another cookie. "Um, it's okay to feed you this, right?" You can tell it's still warm. It's not fresh hot but it's still rather warm. Nothing about her smell or presence would suggest any sort of anxiety or nervousness.
