Puzzle 002 - [Video/Action for Dissimulo]

Look what I found!

[Luke moves the communicator to reveal an armful of cute little white blobs. They bear a striking resemblance to the Professor, little Luke, big Luke, and Flora. Luke himself looks like he's stopped by the Drug Store - not because he needs anything, but because he's pretty sure he was being followed on his way home.]

They don't look harmful, and they were out here all by themselves. I couldn't just leave them out here with all the monsters. Anyway, I should be home soon - oof!

[Luke falls to the ground without warning, the communicator falling out of his reach. He grunts as he tries to stand up, only to find that he can't move his legs.]

W-what...

[The Mochis scatter as Luke tries to crawl towards the communicator, trying not to panic why can't he move his legs! To make matters worse, a strange plant with sharp teeth sprouts out of the ground and lunges forward. It stops inches from Luke, teeth snapping. While it doesn't look like it can move any closer, it doesn't stop Luke from freaking out and trying to back away.]

Aaaaaaahhhhhh!!

What a worrying display. [ Cue his surprise! But those mochis were so cute as well... no, boy in danger, focus. ]

Have you received any assistance yet, young sir?

[A little while later after Luke's been rescued, he can be seen standing upright again.]

Y-yes I have, thank you. My legs suddenly gave out on me for some reason.

That is wonderful to hear, certainly.

Ah, pardon my manners. My name is Macau, a special administrative region of China. [ Because who doesn't introduce themselves like this? ]

I'm Luke Triton. Uhm, it's nice to meet you, Mr. Macau! Although I wish the circumstances were better.

If I might be so bold as to contradict you just a little, the circumstances are not as bad as they seem. Truly. It's quite a lovely place if you are open to it.

Lovely? This place? It's crawling with monsters and the city looks a mess!

But many great civilizations began in similar ways. Please, look at it in a different light.

We are pioneers here. Explorers. We're bettering this place for others.

[tapshoetomove]

I-I guess so, but it'd be nicer if they just asked us instead of bringing us here first...

You're very right about that, though some people might benefit from being here that would be too afraid to volunteer on their own.
