"I'm... what?"

Carmen took a moment to process everything Kirby said. She was Link? By the look of it she definitely seemed to be wearing a green tunic. And it felt like she was carrying a lot more than usual. Not to mention that weird sense she got that things were different. Maybe she was Link after all. What else did Kirby say? No, maybe they weren't Kirby. This person picked Kirby on a screen and turned into him. In that fangame she'd started before falling asleep, Carmen had chosen to play as Link, and seemed to be some weird mix of Link and herself now. It made sense to think this Kirby person had probably downloaded the same game. So was that the cause of all this? The possibility was no more unbelievable than anything else going on right now. Wasn't there another thing the Kirby person said? Something about a broken leg. Carmen was still too overwhelmed by everything else to try to make sense of it. She hoped it wasn't important.

Another girl approached and asked if the same thing had happened to them. So she'd also played that fangame and turned into the character she'd chosen. Carmen looked her over, trying to figure out who she was. She got the feeling she'd seen her somewhere before, but couldn't place where. That robot behind her gave off the same faint feeling of familiarity.

"I don't think it's a dream." No, she was sure it wasn't. This was for real. It had to be, as impossible as it seemed. She didn't really know why, but she was confident about that.

Before she could give it much more consideration, her train of thought was cut off by a loud bang. She turned toward the source and saw another vaguely familiar-looking person trying to break up the fight. With a threat. Probably not the best way. She idly wished there would be someone else who looked familiar outright. Someone she could recognize in an instant, instead of just this vague sense.

Another person replied to the threat. More of that same faint familiar feeling. At the very least, she knew she'd seen that rooster mask somewhere before. She glanced over at the people fighting to see if she could recognize any of them now that she was more aware of her surroundings. Two of them she didn't even have that vague sense she had with the others. The other one... Cirno, maybe? But he looked to be a boy. Some mix of Cirno and whoever chose her, probably. After all, Link was a boy, and she was still a girl. There was precedent for that sort of thing happening. In any case, the masked person had the right idea. Figuring things out would certainly be easier without fighting. But something gave Carmen the sense that he almost wanted the battle to continue.
