{Y/n POV}

Waking, I find myself amidst a desert. A barren land filled with nothing but sand, dust, dry, and horrible weather. Horrible dreadful sunny weather. This can't be right, I was at the cinema before, how could I have spawned into some kind of desert right away? This is too much and too fast.

I took my time and began calmly readjusting my mind to suit my current situation. Personally, I shouldn't get too panicked about this. However, I was just panicking because I'm LITERALLY SMALL! LITERALLY! Look at my damn size. It's not even around the same size as my d-. I coughed. Duck!

"So...where I'm at? More like, which movie am I at?"

Alone in nowhere, I found some other people around. Not exactly people, they're more like...lil animals. Like...lizards, birds, porcupines, and others. I saw them carrying stuff around, they seemed to be heading somewhere.

So...should I follow them? Or at least ask them what's going on. I mean, things wouldn't make sense if they saw some kind of being like me here. A disguise would be useful and perhaps I could find one. However, there's no time for that. They're leaving and I have no idea what I'm supposed to do.

"Um, excuse me?"

Asked me as I approached them carefully. I don't want to make an enemy out of nowhere.

"Ah yes, is there anything we can do to help?" The porcupine answered.

"I'm lost and had no idea where to go. Can you perhaps help me?"

"A lost adventurer I see. Well, we're on our way to Dirt. You could come with us if you want to."

Hearing this gives me a sigh of relief. At least now I know where to go, rather than adventuring a movie realm in who-knows-where. I hate myself for doing something stupid. 

At first, I distanced myself from the group. I have no idea what they are and what they intend to do. Though who might think that they're actually quite friendly? The distance between us quickly closed as we began talking. Eventually, we reached the point of friendship. 

[Constellation, Friend of Justice and Harmony, love how friendly you could be to strangers.]

[Some constellations are annoyed by how friendly you could be.]

Oh, I almost forgot. Anyway, we've reached the place called 'Dirt'. I have no idea that it's actually a town filled with different animals. This actually seems more like a Western sheriff town stuff. It's in the desert, dusty, lack of water, etc. 

"So, this is Dirt."

"Yeah, this place is Dirt. A town in this desert, pretty cool, huh?" 

"Mhm."

I mumbled. The view around this area is drier than the puss- I coughed, I haven't drunk and this area is pretty much a bad place if there's no water. I wonder how people survive in this area.

"How do you guys survive?" I asked.

"What do you mean?" The porcupine asked back.

"Well, it doesn't look like there's any water nearby. And it seems that the people in this town had been very thirsty lately."

Glancing all over the place, I found the townspeople to be dry and dehydrated. They seemed fine but at the same time, they were suffering from something.

"Ah right, I haven't had the chance to tell you about our tradition."

I glanced at him after hearing the word tradition, now this sounds off.
