Chapter 2:《The Alchemist》

Dream set off to his search of his friends with his pendant's guidance. He chuckled at the thought of this scenario where he was the hunter from the manhunt and looking for his friends with a compass instead of this glowing pendant trail.

The pendant led him to a fancy-looking cottage in the middle of the forest. He reached his hand out to knock the door, but before he could, he heard a thud at the other side.

"FUCK." A familiar voice rang out. All that Dream could reply to that is, a wheeze.

He then proceeds to knock on the door.

"ohmygodwhoisitnow- COMING!!" The angry British voice called out. Stomping noises approaching Dream, till the door swung open.

"wHAT DO YOU WA- oh." Oh look! It's an angry George! Who could've known? George's facial expression softened a little, recognizing the one who just disturbed him.

"Hello, Dream." George slumped, still a bit mad. Dream scanned him from head-to-toe, then just wheezed again. "HHAHAAAHHAHHHHH GEORGE WTH ARE YOU WEARING LMAO-" He says as he laughs. George ignores the question and went back to get something from the shelves.

George's attire is somewhat like what a mage would wear, but with a few touches to fit him. He still has the glasses on, but not exactly. They were replaced with fancy safety goggles. Despite Dream's wheezing and laughing, he wouldn't admit that George looks fine in that get-up.

Even better if the British twink would actually fix his hair. His hair was all over the place, most of them sticking up on all directions. Probs from an impact. Dream imagines George removing his goggles upwards, moving his hair in the process.

He shook off those thoughts and looked around the Brit's cottage, spotting a cauldron spewing out... burnt meat and grass smell? "Uhh, were you making something in that pot over there?" Dream asked.

The Brit took a book from the shelves and walked up to Dream. "Well, I was trying to make a potion of both strength and regeneration, but some of the ingredients were a bit... lacking. So I had to improvise." He states as he shows the page of the book with the recipe to Dream. "Oh. Well why didn't you go out to get the ingredients you needed?" Dream asked. George pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed. "You see, the one who brought us here didn't just bring people here. They even brought our pets with us." "... wait wHAT MY CAT IS HERE TOO??" Dream yelled.

"Quiet down! Wait, holy shit. You just woke up just now? Wow lmao-" George chuckled a little. "What do you mean just now? How long did you stay here as of now??" Dream was confused, he wants answers. "What I meant by just now is- oh! There's Patches and pooper-" The cats roamed around the cottage floors and sat. "Anyway, what I meant by just now is that when we all arrived here, I was with my cat. Then I saw you lying down sleeping. Patches was on top of you, you looked so peaceful so I didn't want to wake you up. Patches woke up though, weirdly enough, she followed me. While I was reading my scroll and Cat on my shoulder." He thought for a little bit to recall the other question. "Oh yeah and we've been here for like- almost a week now." "A WEEK?! WHA- HOW-" Dream just gets even more confused by every info he keeps getting.

A tiny paper slip appeared in front of Dream and it reads:

"Greetings! Forgot to mention that time flows differently from the Lobby to the Mainland.

-Le Créatrice"

And as he finished reading, it just disappears. Too much going on here... Dream thought. "Hey, do you have any quests assigned to you?" The tol bamboo boi asked. "Hmm, well, the scroll told me to make 5 specific potions... But like I said not too long ago, they're lacking." George explained. "Why didn't you go out and get the needed ingredients?" "The scroll also told me to... wait for you..." George says as his face scrunched up a teeny bit. "Oh." was all that Dream could say.

He reached his hand out to the Spade-y Brit and said, "Let's go look for them then!" He smiles brightly, which causes George to smile as well. He held out his hand and nodded. A horizontal scroll appeared near them and reads:
