Hi!

A friend of mine went to this floating sky place and they got lost and I'm here to find them.

Oh, but first you need something to call me! What should my name be?

Imani

Theo! My name is Theo.

I'm going through this weird floaty place but now I don't know which direction to go. Left or right?

Left. Always left.

Woah! I'm in a different place now! Something is flying at me and I think I see something else sliding off a stalactite! Now what do I do?

>>278181
Grapple, avoid flying thing, and swing over to catch that poor guy who's about to fall.

Don't jump yet, say hi to your new flying friend.

>>278181

Launch your grapple into the big stalactite in front of you while you drop so that you go under the thing flying at you and then snap back up toward the guy who looks like he's falling.

>>278181
Jump on the red thing and ride it to your destination.

I grapple into the big stalactite, fall under the flying thing and catch the cat thing that's about to fall! The momentum sends both of us onto a handy floating platform. What now?

>>278192
Are those birds? Red birds?

Shit, man, you've got to keep moving!

Say hi! How did they get there are the red things dangerous is it hard to get out maybe you could carry them through the portal?

>>278192
grab cat thing and fleeee

>>278192

You should probably get out of here in a hurry! Run up and sink your grapple into the far side of the platform, then grab the cat and jump off the left ledge and let yourself snap to the right!

I ask them how they got here and they say they fell. They aren't sure where from. I ask if the red things are dangerous and they look at me confused. The red things land on the platform and look at us but don't do anything else.

I ask if it's hard to get out and they shrug. I don't think I could carry him or her with me through that portal.

Pet red things, ask blue caat thing what's his/her name. Look around for any other interesting platform to jump on.

>>278203

I ask cat thing what their name is. They say Marco. The red things fly away when I go near them. I see another bunch of stalactites and get to a new platform.

Ooo! There's something here! It's red and pointy and shiny! The red things stopped following us for some reason.

>>278214
GET OUT OF THE WAY

TELL MARCO TO GET OUT OF THE WAY TOO

THERE IS A BIG THING ON THE CEILING

>>278214
Grapple the bug thing.

Grapple the stalagtite behind you and jump out of the way, also yell Marco to jump back as well, there's a giant worm thing over you, and it's probably using the shiny red thing to lure prey!

>>278244
Why would you let go of your grapple you crazy person. Now you can't grapple the ground.

You'll just have to hug its tongue so it can't swallow you. Hugs solve everything.

Plus, platformer logic dictates that if it does decide to swallow you, it's because it wants you to remove some sort of irritant lodged in its digestive tract somewhere.

You're a platformer character. As long as there's a hard surface to land on you'll be fine.

And unless the bug moved way the hell away you should have a hard surface that currently has Marco and some kinda shiny rock on it.

Good thing we got that cleared up and nothing bad will happen now.

Marco: Attempt to possess mystical gem.

Theo: Get distracted and start looking for bugfriend again. WE MUST HAVE BUGFRIEND

I don't think bugfriend is a good idea-

"I got the gem!"
"...how did you get there? Curses! The source of my power! Nooooo!"

All I see is a hole in the ceiling! I already have my grapple too. It's in my inventory for when I need to use it later!

>>279872
A hole in the ceiling? Can you get up there?

BUGFRIEND NOOOO

Upgrade grapple with power of mystical gem, then head for hole in ceiling that will lead to bugfriend!

Erm. Well, we could go up there and get eaten, or we could just head further in. What's ahead of us?

>>279875

There's just lava ahead of us. All I can really think of now is going back to the red swirly gate portal warp thing. I could grapple there easily but I don't know how I'd take Marco with me. I'd have to go up and not down...

Maybe the hole is my only option. Or maybe going back to those red flying things and maybe we can ride those back to the sky place!

YOU KNOW WHAT YOU MUST DO

AND IT IS "GO IN A HOLE"

>>279878
Are there any of those red flying things still around? I thought they all vamoosed when the bug showed up.

So I guess we're going to go in a hole, then.

Somehow I manage to give Marco the grip of the grapple and clamber on the bug's head! I'm not entirely sure how I did that, actually.

The bug's carapace is smooth and hard to hold onto but it's not shaking me off. It's still watching me. What is the song I need to be singing?

And you're miles and miles from your nice warm bed
You just remember what your old friend said!

Hey, big bugfriend is saying hi to Marco too! Yay hugs!

Maybe you can help him not get dropped at the end this time. Bugfriend needs to work on his greetings.

>>279920
Say goodbye to Marco. We knew him well, he was a good friend. Ask friend bug for the shiny back.

>>279924
Or maybe we should just feed all the shiny crystals of infinite power to bugfriend. She seems cool enough to wield that kind of responsibility.

If Marco is lucky the bug will spit him out and he'll still have a grip on the bungee cord.

~Hello, Theo.~
"Who said that!"
~Me. You look like you could do with some help in collecting those gems. Want some help? All I ask in return is one small favour.~
"Who are you? ...Do you have snacks?!"
~If you get all the gems, you can have all the snacks you ever wanted!~

That is a tempting offer!

Oh no what is the favor?

Oh no he's speaking in black text Theo be careful!

What's the favor? And what kind of help will you get? Is it a new gimmicky method of transportation?

Ask what the favor is, this sounds like a great way to help save the world. Clearly this person wants to help in this noble endeavor. Also, snacks!

>>280269
It's awfully dark all of a sudden.

I don't know if I like the cut of this guy's jib, or however that phrase goes.

So I guess ask what the catch is?

"What's the favour?"
~I get to use the gems first. I just want to do one thing. Then they're yours to do what you see fit!~
"That doesn't sound scary or threatening!" She seems nice enough to me!
~You are so adorably innocent! You know that, right?~

woah sudden hug out of nowhere

~So, want to help me help you help us both?~

Man he hugged you out of nowhere?

Hug him back. He's a bro.

>>280280
Uhhh, politely ask her what the thing she wants to do with the gems is.

Hugs mean that they are friendly! Agree to the terms.

Oh hey what is tentaclefriend's name anyway?

She will be the best partner let's go get the things.

Don't forget to hug back!

Oh, and don't forget about your friend you originally came here for!

The friend I originally came for? They'll be fine for a little longer. They're better at grapple things than I am and I'm pretty good!

"Um... if you don't mind me asking, can you tell me what you want to do with the gems?"
~And ruin the surprise?~
"Is it a bad surprise?"
~It's a wonderful surprise!~
"Okay, that sounds fun." I feel sleepy. "What's your name, anyway?"
~It... you can think of a name for me. What do you want to call me?~

"Uh... I'll call you..."

Tentaclefriend is too long.

Tentafriend...

Tentaclriend...

Tenerife! I got it!

Zura!

Hey, no hard feelings, Mister Landeelfin!

Diava said you could do whatever you wanted with the gems after she did her thing with them, right? Tell him that he can have the gem back after you get them all and Diava does that thing if he comes with you!

"Sure! We'll come back here straight away as soon as we have all of them!"
"Okay. J-just keep it safe, okay? I... I like using it. I'm sorry I captured you. I was scared the gem would be taken by the wrong person but I think I can trust you."

"What how did you suddenly get here Marco why are you getting gems also why are you being evil!"
"Ha! Me? Evil? Sacrificing my friends to giant monsters and befriending shadow demons to fulfil my no-doubt sinister aims? No, you're the evil one! And if you won't trade me that gem, I'll have to take it from you by force!"

Wait, why would you fulfill HIS no doubt sinister aims?

Why would there be doubt as to whether his aims are sinister? They're his aims!

I don't trust this guy. He even said Diava was a shadow demon! What a jerk.

"I.. I just wanted you to make friends too. D:"

And he's threatening the use of force!

What a douchebag!

Be all naive and sad at him.

Y'know what? Don't even acknowledge him.

Talk to yellow robocatfriend instead. Say sup.

Trade for the grappling hook, then kill him with the grappling hook.

Take all the gems.

Ask him what's wrong with being friends with bug friends and shadow friends. He's friends with a robot friend and a bird friend. Everybody should just be friends and then everything will be better.
