Burstswitch - Homestuck Fan-Adventure

>[SKAIA]<

>[LAND OF SHELLS AND THUNDER]<

>>[ANGI]<<

You find yourself in a very different place. You get up and shake all the dirt off your suit and body. You look closer at the "dirt". Are these tiny shell pieces? Huh, there's so many shells in this place. All of them are identical pink shape, besides a very few. You disconnect your GHOST HANDS for now. You want to explore a bit and those giant hands would be too distracting to use.

>[Your name is Angi. Correct?]

Your name is Angi, that is correct. What is this new voice? Seems much more intelligent and polite than the other voice.

>[It's nice to meet you Angi]

You aren't cognizant of the voice, but if you were, you would say the same.

There sure are a lot of imps here. But they don't seem to be bothering you at all and you have no need to attack them. That's quite strange. Oh well, you can't complain. It would that this exploration much smoother.

While you were exploring, you find a cylinder that resembles some kind of mailbox, or mail cylinder.

>[How wonderful! A mail cylinder! Perhaps there is a parcel of sorts inside!]

You do what the voice tells you. You open the mail cylinder. Inside it is a JAR OF LITTLE CREATURES, or just bugs. Yuck. You put the jar back in the cylinder and move on with your little adventure. As you go on, the imps start to get more aggressive. That won't be much of a problem though. You can easily handle them. Anyway, you cross a shell staircase and find a peculiar creature. It looks like a frog. An anthropomorphic frog. Cute. Let's go talk to it.

ANGI: Hello, little creature. How are you?

FROG: Everyone! Look here! Another Cherished Idol! They've come to protect us from the Underlings. Tears would be in my eyes if I wasn't used to such things! Oh, look a bug!

Well, that was quite strange. But charming as well. These little frog creatures probably need your help with certain things

>[Look at this precious and sacred statue. It makes me sad that it has been ruined]

The imps must have messed this statue up a lot. Or something bigger, judging on the damage on the thing. These guys must really hate these poor, little frogs. What did they do to them?

Anyway, you encountered another one of those frog creatures. Let's see that they have to say.

FROG: Hey, you! This is a Parcel Pyxis. You know what that is right? Of course you do! Everyone does! But I'll play pretend just in case! The Pyxis is connected to a system of Pipes. It's used to send things from one place to another! It's always been a part of our social practices and customs. If you want something in particular, then we chisel what we want on Minitablets and drop it in! No one knows you gets the tablet but it's considered polite to send what they want to the Pyxis, if you have it, of course. If a Parcel Pyxis has a prize inside it, you are obligated to keep it. It's a gift from Life.

That was a helpful guide to a "Parcel Pyxis". You'll keep that info in mind. These creatures sure do talk a lot. Not like you don't do the same. Anyway, you cross a tree across another platroom, making sure you don't fall down. You attack an imp terrorizing a small frog. It's holding some kind of statue in its hand.
