After paying the lady at the counter for a hint as to where to go to find a legendary you end up outside of a village guarded by a single hohun guard, and her meg.

The hint didn't say that this was the way to go....but something about that village just....hits with you. You need to get in there.

"If I was uh, one of them aliens, what do you figure my name would be, cattle friend?"

"UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUOMMMMMM"

"Kind of hate the fucking sound of that to be honest."
"Hello there. Is someone dying? I just heard the weirdest fucking noise and if it isnt a death thing im more concerned =)"

"Hello, bitch! Nice to meet you! I like your meg. It's very pretty."
"Taaaaffy stay close to me. You're not gonna get hurt. :w:"
"UGH!!! WHERE'D YOU FOLKS COME FROM?!?!"

So....so much for any element of surprise......

"ᴮᵉᵍᶦⁿⁿᶦⁿᵍ ᶦⁿᶠᶦˡᵗʳᵃᵗᶦᵒⁿ..." The blort is hidden under a box.
"Aye......back up a little. This ain't a place for folks like you."
"Th-thsorry!!! We're uhm, we're uh justh-"
The small box attempts to scoot past the owl.
"Then, who exactly is it for? we mean no harm in coming, simply curiosity =)"
"Eeeeeelement of surprise???? :w:"
The hohun looks at the box trying to get in.

"Hey......Is that thing one of them... capture creatures? What it's called?"
"......" He watches the box scoot away...
"Clearly, that is a cardboard box =)"
"Dang, ain't ever hear about a cardboard box. What it do?"

The hohun has never seen a cardboard box before and believes it is an animal.
The box continues to scoot into the village as the owl talks.
"Yesth! Justh, a cardbox boxth! Entirely harmlessth, infact." Charlie stares really hard at the box as it leaves them behind.
"Oh, you know. whatever that box is doing =)"
"Hey, miss? Wanna see a cool trick?" Strawberry turns to Champ, whispering. "(Okay, just like we practiced bud!)"
Champ rolls a 20 sided die with a modifier of +3. A 10 is rolled.
The hohun looks at the trick happen.......but is only slightly impressed!
"Nice long blort. You know we like to bathe in the waters of the blort around here."
"It's okay buddy." She gives Champ a loving pat.
"Infact it'sth. Our boxth. If you wouldn't mind usth, justh.. following it inthside. We're not to touch anything elsthe, just to track our. Boxth."
"Oh shoot, that was your creature?!?!?"
"Please, its an important box. =)"
"Yesth. Our Boxth. That'sth currently getting away."
"The boxiest of boxes. :w:"
"If we lose that box, where will we at all get another? There isn't a box adoption center for miles! =)"
"Should have told me, would have stopped it from getting inside. Go ahead, but be quick ok? Ain't safe in there and the Owlkin don't like outsiders in there."
"Thank you very much =)"
"Th-thank you kindly! We'll be right out, you-you won't even noticthe usth!!" (CHARLIE GOES AFTER THE BOX)
"No problem but you be safe like I said. Fucking nonsense in there, and none of you are protected by mother."
"Thank you miss! You wont regret this, bitch!" Strawberry nods to the Hohun respectfully and follows the box.

In the village the day turns into a harsh night. Only small torches light your way. You're forced to pretend you're looking for your "box capture creature" until you're out of sight of the hohun.

Currently you can check out a few locations.

The first is a tall tower. Art pieces are plaster out of them, crude and childish in form.

The second is a tunnel leading to underground.

The third leads to a small farm.

(Charlie swallows nervously.. none of these seem like good options.) "D-doesth.. anyone elsthe have deja-vu? Justh me? ....H-how about we try the Farm?"
"War. War never changes."
"Something feels recurring. Wherever you consider checking out, I will back you up. Nothing here feels real, if real makes sense. Regardless, I am sure something is here. =)"
"I don't like how dark it got...." She kinda looks a little worried. "The farm sounds nice."
"I feel like I might of made a terrible decithsion.. B-but farmsth are! Nice.. and thsafe..."
"Don't worry. I'll be a line of defense if something pops out of a hay pile =)"
"(Thank anyone but the gods that we're not going to that tunnel. :w:)"
"Yeah!! Champ and I will support you with anything! "

You and your group head towards the small farm. Unlike all the other plants, the crops are still growing, as if someone is still taking care of them.

Behind the farm is the tower, though you decide to not move into it, only remarking that it's frankly odd that a tower stands just behind a humble farmland.

A small stall for selling goods is just to the side of the farm, and near it you spot a capture creature!

A LEGENDARY DAN'GERSIGN APPEARS!!!!

This fella has been stealing love letters and diary entries from the area around.....don't read them too closely.

A bell rings, and a shopkeeper appears.

He hangs produce at his stall, and takes out a knife to cut up meats. He tosses a slice to the dan'gersign, still able to understands the needs of the animal.
Do you....approch?

"Well, one of us could talk to the shopkeep, someone could try to lure the dan'gersign away, and then we make a mad dash for the exit with the box =)"
"I mean uhm, Champ can try and distract again.."
"A disthtraction isth good! Uhm... maybe we could thsend in a creature, they're fasther thaan any of usth.. I believe.."
The shopkeeper sees the group but does not move from his stall.

The creature holds up a single finger in the air.
And wags it back and forth.
You know better then to try, right?

"..." Strawberry looks away, terrified.
"W-we're justh here for the Dan'gersign! Nothing more nothing lessth we-we don't need to causthe any problemsth and we'll be gone out of here. Forever."
"In tough times like these, people only are looking for an eye for an eye. Or a head for a head."
"Maybe we can trade? Or buy some goods for your Dan'gersign?"
The thing hithers Once over.

"Charles."
"ABTHSOLUTELY NOT."
"Hey, Sir. Are you alright? Is that... Shopkeep a friend? =)"
"HEY I REALLY DON'T LIKE THIS. :W:"
The shopkeeper goes back to cutting the fresh meat. If Once won't come over, than there's no talks to be had.
"hhhhhhh..."
"I think he wants us to get closer?"
"Sir, I dont like the idea, but maybe we could approach. It seems this fellow doesnt plan on talking things out unless you're over there =)"
"Is this some kind of kissin' booth? Get your head straight, captain! You've got business to do."

"I can come with, to make sure nothing goes wrong we can't get you out of. But I don't see another way we're getting our hands on the little buddy =)"

The group hears a tree branch break.


"....." THE SOCIAL PRESSURE IS KILLING HIM. Charlie sighs and slowly climbs off of his team mates and.. hesitantly steps forward, with his tailmic---

But when you all look behind yourself, nothing is there. "Must have been the wind" you think.

"...Why me."
"I don't like this...Everyone keep watch." Strawberry stands defensively watching the groups back. She calls Champ to be alert too.
"I WILL say, this situation isn't one I'm fond of. But regardless, there's only one way forward. well, forward. =)"
[The Binding of Isaac: Antibirth OST Misericorde]
Mr. Once approaches the booth. The creature seems so much larger up close.

It leans down, before grabbing Mr.Once by the horn! His head is slammed on the cutting board! The knife is raised.
The Shopkeeper rolls a 20 sided die. An 18 is rolled.
"Heh....heh......"

ONE OF CHARLIE'S HORNS HAS BEEN CUT OFF!!!!!!!
But....otherwise....he's fine. And the thing lets go of him.

(AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA)
"HEY WHAT THE FUCK BUDDY?"

"TODDY, TODDY GET THE CHAINTHSAW. TODDY PLEASTHE GET THE CHAINTHSAW."
">:) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Crazy TODDY SPAWNS A CHAINSAW!!!!!!

Slug leans on the countertop and barfs up some bullets.
"I'll take your finest rations."
"Hehhhahhhhaa....."
The creature takes the bullets.
The Shopkeeper rolls a 20 sided die. A 19 is rolled.

And hands Slug an amazing looking star fruit!

"WHY WOULD YOU GIVE IT AMMO?????? =)"
"Why would you trade??" Strawberry regroups and stands by Charlie,ready to help.

"New threat on the horizon, captain! Time to take out the communication centers if you catch my drift!"
CHARLIE REVS HIS CHAINSAW AND SHOVES IT INTO THE HART-NOMALY'S CHEST.

Charlie tries to shove the chainsaw into the monster for MASSIVE DAMAGE, but misses.

The creature bangs its fist on the table over and over, not in anger, but jubliation.

Oh but the worst part....the worst part is that this cat didn't kill Slug. it just paralyzed it. Slug cannot move for the rest of the game! He is far too hurt.

"Mission failed. We'll get em next time." He croaks out.

And claws Strawberry Mocha across the face.

"Do it! Do it! Do it! Bitch!!!!!"

The monster and his feral cat are so engrossed with their two piles of meat - the blorts - and strawberry that they ignore the fleeing rat!
Taffy gets out of the village!

Because the two are so distracted, those riding on the thornhead are also almost out of the village! As they ride, they see doors open, and shadowy arms reach out.....are they asking for you to come, or asking for you to stay?

Many of the faces are ones Mr. Once remembers.

Strawberry goes to attack again.

The butcher looks at her for a second before continuing.

One blort is hung up, the other is placed on the cutting table.
The knife is drawn back.

Chop
..............................................................
You are too paralyzed with horror to move.
You cannot protect either blort.

The butcher hears your order and nods. He wraps up some of the meat carefully in paper. He rings the bell and passes it on to you.

"Ennnnn....joy......."
(...The shadows are reaching out and calling to him while he watches the others from afar.....)

Gunner arrives on the scene and...
oh.
oh gods.

"Strawberry. Strawberry, I know this is. This is the worst. please, come with me. you cannot grieve through revenge and make it out alright. You need to live, please =)"
He places a soft hand on her shoulder. a silent plea.
"I'm sorry..." Strawberry apologizes for Champ and Slug. She takes the package and turns away.
Gunner simply keeps his hand on her back and walks out with her.
"I'm so sorry for your loss. =)"
Chitter runs back to Gunner, relieved to see him and Strawberry alive.
"W-what happened? :w:"
"................."

Gunner rubs his hand across Strawberrys back as comfortingly as he can. Its all he can do as he continues.

The butcher turns his open sign and closes for the day.

He places his hand under his chin and leans on the counter, waving a friendly goodbye to his customers. He then takes the extra meat and tosses it to the floor as a hoard of real (yet....wrong) cats swarm to partake in a meal once loved.

"Ni.....ce daaaay."

The group leaves the village. The hohun asks where the box is, did they find it in there?

But no one says anything.

You all leave, and don't speak about what monsters you saw within.
