[center]Level 1 - (6/10) EXP Location: 1-1, Central Road Word count: 362 Talking to: Din [@Stern Algorithm][/center] [hr] Ratchet was carrying Linkle's crossbow in one hand spinning it and whistling it as he walked. He much appreciated Linkle extending the loan, it would make whatever enemies lay ahead much easier to deal with. Hopefully. As he gazed around at the path ahead of him he heard someone running after him calling out. He stopped walking so they could catch up, examining them as the got closer. A unique hairstyle to be sure, it was rather outlandish, though with all these strange things around a massive head of hair wasn't something to get worked up over. Ratchet smiled as the girl introduced herself as Din, apparently her dancing had beneficial effects. "beneficial effects huh?" He said with a hint of curiosity. "Sound's useful. The name's Ratchet." Extending a hand Ratchet would give Din a sturdy handshake before heading onward down the path. "Now this doll Geno can fly? He's probably headed really far ahead then, we'll have to pick up the pace if we want to have hopes of catching up, c'mon." Ratchet started running still keeping an eye out for traps. [hr] Skidding to a halt Ratchet looked at garden ahead, filling a nearby goomba full of arrows as he made his way forward looking on the strange garden. He watched as funky looking rabbit things created chaos running around and just generally looking like a bunch of buffoons, but Ratchet was much more interested in the sounds of gunfire coming from further off in the distance and the echos of explosions coming from the big canyon. Personally he wanted to go the direction of the gunfire. You needed guns for there to be gunfire in most cases and getting his hands on a weapon or two wouldn't hurt at all. "So. We've got a choice Din. Rabbits and bullets or explosions, in my experience explosions are much more dangerous." He said as he gestured in the direction with the rabbit creatures. "Though we'd also have to deal with those things, but they seem pretty harmless." He said looking down seeing a Rabbid beating a poor bird with it's gun as it laughed. "Ok maybe not harmless, but not very dangerous."
