Ch. 34: Hi, Hey, Hello

Location: Sky Highlands

---

Since you're not in the mood to start something unwanted in a land who-knows-what, you cheerfully wave your hand at them! "Hello!" you say, approaching the two oddly-clothed guards who loosen up as they sense no danger in you, "Would you mind telling me what's going on?"

The two look at each other in the eye, then shrugs before turning to you again. "I don't know what's going on either. I'm only paid to keep watch around this area, anyway."

The other guard chimes in, "Yeah, me too. I have a family to feed after all... But it really doesn't matter if they don't know what I'm doing, so..."

As it turns out, they really aren't as helpful as you'd expect. Maybe it's best to drop the subject with another, "If so, can you tell me where this road will lead me?"

"Past this point is the Golden Bridge." The uniformed man states, "Well, it's not exactly a bridge. More like a pretty long escalator that goes way up the clouds above. Sounds like something out of a fairy tale, eh?"

"You don't smell bad, so we'll let you pass." The two guards split to open a path for you, "Be minded that you shouldn't turn back. We can't just let anyone scurry around here. It's just...making me shiver that it might be the ghosts..."

Well, at least that's one more redundant part worth noting of. You thank these two men as you proceed through the small valley ahead, feeling that you've both avoided and missed things that could possibly happen were you not be nice to them.

With a short trek through the craggy valley, you find yourself staring at a large, golden escalator that is exactly what he described earlier.

1. Stand on the Golden Bridge.
2. Hit the Golden Bridge with your wallet.
3. Try your hands at skydiving.
4. Fish.

Ch. 34x: Seeping Insanity

Location: Sky Highlands

Obviously, one must inspect their surroundings before advancing into the unknown! ...But why pull out a fishing rod when there isn't any watery surface around?

Turns out you weren't planning to look for one. Rather, if fishing can be done anywhere, why not fish on the moon itself? While it sounds like you're starting to lose it, there's no telling what might happen from trying something silly. That applies to almost everything that occurred within your first day as a Trainer, so you decide to let yourself do what you think isn't a bad DreamWorld parody.

You throw the hook off the cliffs below then sit down before the edge. But instead of feeling it flail about, the hook seems to be stuck almost immediately. Did you snag something? You bend over to take a look, to find that the hook hangs onto a nest filled with peculiar eggs, human bones, and torn clothes, on the verge of falling from a weak-looking branch.

The weight now is in your shoulders.

1. Quickly reel it upward.
2. Wait and see what happens.
