So how'd I go from a Q&A to a road trip? Simple. It's called warping. And by simple, I mean a convoluted process that involved a bunch of portals going to many different lands, including Animal Crossing, Final Fantasy XV, Red Dead Redemption 2, and even God of War.
I have to admit, the Villager has a nice-ass house, Noctis and his crew are still adventuring their land, Arthur is still roaming the plains, and Kratos is... well, Kratos. The man too angry to die. Atreus siding with him, together they are unstoppable.

Now that we've got the introductions out of the way, where am I, you may be wondering? Oh, you know, the bus stop. Turns out that the boys decided to pick one of the worst spots to pick me up at. This isn't no ordinary bus stop, oh no. It's a bus stop near a patch of woods. And this particular patch of woods... it houses... well, some crazy shit. I've seen a three headed, Torterra-sized turtle walk out of there. Not even mentioning the mutant rats bigger than a full-size sedan. And the wolves? Well... they're... not going to lie, the wolves... look. They may be wolves, but they look like beautiful pieces of art from DeviantArt. There, I said it.

Me: I have looked into those woods for an hour and a half now, and not once, have the wolf girls wanted to walk across the road to talk to me. I should probably not shout across there. For some reason, I'm thinking there's a monster buck over there. And not a friendly one. Then again, most likely, it'll bolt when it sees me.

I kept peering into the woods, hoping I'd see something, but after ten minutes, I couldn't find anything in there. I just set my bag on the ground next to me and laid on the bench with my hands behind my head and sighed.

Me: What's taking them so long? I thought they'd say meet here at three. Well, judging by the position of the sun behind all of those goddamn gray clouds, it's most likely four-thirty. Besides, I don't want to feel like I'm truly alone. Whatever. Can't always win the game.

I heard a branch snap, and I instantly flung up and peered into the forest. I couldn't tell what was in there, but I knew I could see a pair of eyes peering back at me. I couldn't tell if it was a coyote, or something supernatural. I just reached over to my bag and slowly unzipped it, and the eyes turned away from me, and whatever it was ran off.

I pulled my bag over to the concrete ground in front of me and reached into it.

Me: Let's see what's in my hyperspace.

I pulled out a cherry bomb, for some strange reason, and slid it back in.

Me: I'm not looking on going out with a boom today.

I sifted through my bag a bit more and pulled out an old game cartridge for the original Pokémon Red. I just dropped it back into my bag and dug through it again, this time grabbing a box of cards. I just left it in the bag and kept digging.

Me: There's got to be something in here. I still don't know how this bag holds everything I have, but E. Gadd IS full of surprises.

I grabbed something and pulled it up. It was Will Smith, going "Ah that's hot," and peering into the binoculars at a picture of Golisopod firing a Hyper Beam. I don't know if Golisopod can learn the move, but it looked cool. I tucked it away and pulled out... ummm... a dog on a cloud?

Me: What's this?

Me: Ohh. Dog Of Wisdom. What is your wisdom?

Dog of Wisdom: Here is my wisdom: If the ball is too big for your mouth, it's not yours.
