[ sheila there is a chicken just standing in the middle of the hallway. ]

[Sheila stares at the chicken.

And then slowly:]

Party rockers in the house tonight?

[ there is a long pause.

before tsuru peeks his head around from the corner. ]

Are you having a seizure?

Huh? Oh, no. Just trying to hype up the chicken. This one isn't as good a dancer as the last one.

She can dance just fine. She's shy.

[ he has no idea what her dancing abilities are he's just offended ]

[ 2. You open the door and find yourself inside what looks like an abandoned amusement park, where it is perpetually dark and rainy. There are clowns skulking about here, and they don't seem happy to see you. They rush at you, and if you are aggressive with them, they will fight you and try to kill you; if you are not, they will try to force you into a clown outfit. If you are killed by clowns, you will find yourself back in the hallway with healed-over scars from your fatal injury; if you allow yourself to be dressed up, you will find yourself back in the hallway dressed as a clown. Either way, you are soaking wet from the rain. Only four minutes have passed.

at first glance this place looks great? yeah it's raining and depressing looking, but amusement parks are not something he is used to seeing. so he's still excited? ]

Wow...

The poor thing... Does she have a name?

[Meanwhile, Sheila, side eyeing the heck out of the creepy vibes. Somewhere in the distance, something honks.]

... God, I hope we're not the side characters in a horror movie.

This is Bob-chan-san.

[ he picks her up and holds her out to sheila. ]

I can't be a side character...

[ that's his issue with this. ]

What was that sound?

It sounded like... a honk? [Squints.] Maybe someone's riding a bicycle in the rain.

Aw... It's so nice to meet you, Bob-chan-san! What a lovely name!

A boy named Minato named her...

[ sheila does not know him, but his tone implies that

minato is something. ]

That sounds very dangerous, they should be more careful.

[ he squints and... starts walking towards the noise. ]

I sense a story here...

[tell her the legend of minato you coward]

Right? Once, I read that you're twice as likely to die riding a bicycle than you are a car. They obviously didn't read that post.

[Following! The honking intensifies...]
