[color=SpringGreen]“You are most welcome, dear Branch Nose,”[/color] Gaia told the ancient ent with a warm smile and a graceful curtsy. [color=SpringGreen]“It brings me the greatest of joy to know that I was able to make the longings of your heart a reality.”[/color]

Not wanting to delay a moment longer, Lily then declared that they should all get going, a course of action Gaia was in complete agreement with. Entering the secret passage, the verdant maiden was thankful that not a single trap or obstruction presented itself to hinder their progress. Of course, once they reached the end of the passage and entered what appeared to be a wine cellar, obstructions and potential traps seemed to be in abundance.

[color=SpringGreen]“I would be very surprised if that is the [i]only[/i] trap in this chamber,”[/color] Gaia noted after Lily sneered at the obvious suspiciousness of the waiting wine glass. [color=SpringGreen]“And even discounting them, we still need to come up with a way to open that door without alerting the guards,”[/color] the botanical beauty added, pointing towards the metal door in question. 

Alex went on to agree, before offering a suggestion on one possible way to go about circumventing the obstacle.

[color=SpringGreen]“That may be our best course of action,”[/color] Gaia replied with a nod. [color=SpringGreen]“Although I may perhaps be able to learn more about the nature of the passage behind that stone walrus head by employing a few specialized vine tendrils,”[/color] the nymph-like maiden added. [color=SpringGreen]“If it poses no danger, we may be able to make use of it, although I am hesitant to believe that shall actually be the case…”[/color]

Connie was there, too, of course, but she didn’t have much to contribute.

[s]Poor Connie…[/s]

[color=DeepPink]“Like, thatsie watsie’s not a very wery nicey wicey thingie wingie to do at allsie wallsie!”[/color] an adorably indignant MDP huffed when Mac told her that the holo message was most likely sent by someone to trick them into harming their allies. [color=DeepPink]“It’s, like, super [i]duper[/i] awful wawful!”[/color] she added, with Mr. Plier nodding in agreement. [color=DeepPink]“Like, Magical Dream Princess just can’t understandy wandy how anybodywody who lives in such a nicey wicey placey wacey like thisy wisy could be such a super duper meanie weanie head!”[/color]

However, MDP soon returned to her typical gleeful exuberance when she watched no small number of her new friends pile into Copy!Penney’s only moderately sized truck.

[color=DeepPink]“Wowie zowie~! (giggle!)”[/color] the whimsical girl exclaimed amidst a burst of cute giggles. [color=DeepPink]“Like, thatsie watsie totally wotally looks like one of those clowny wowny carsie warsie thingie wingies~! (giggle!)”[/color]

Then, Copy!Penny asked her to climb aboard as well.

[color=DeepPink]“Like, Magical Dream Princess is super duper sorry worry, copy wopy Penny Wenny~!”[/color] the playful Princess of Dreams told the doppelgänger with a cheerful smile. [color=DeepPink]“But, like, Magical Dream Princess is totally wotally gonna be the batony wony twirler wirler person werson for this paradey wadey thingie wingie~! (giggle!)”[/color] With that, she bounced back to the front of the procession and began once again leading the way with yet another sickeningly sweet and cringingly childish song…
