Guu and Gildarts transversed the beaten trail through the mountains and continued on passed where the great Power Rangers battle place, the one that probably contributed heavily in the failure of this quest the first time. Considering no lasting damage still remained, Guu questioned if that shitty part of the story was a collective hallucination.
After a number of hours by Chocobo back, they arrive at a small village. It was built into a boardwalk that was parallel to a river. Steam boats are seen moving in and out from the town, coming in to port, bringing on new cargo and passengers to bring down the river.
“According to my info, the casino is intentionally built into the thickest part of the jungle.” Guu explain, flicking through her phone while the chocobo under kept moving towards their destination. “The easiest way to get there is by boat.”
They walk up to the ticket booths for the ferries. They get in the back of the line which is clearly over twenty-five people. Through all the head, Gildarts could catch a glimpse of the clerk solo running the booth, an elderly fellow; he was literally a giant snail.
“Princess, no need for both of us to wait in line, why do you go look arou-”
But when he looked down, the Pink Enigma was already gone. Before he could process the sudden absence of his fearless leader, a giant tortoise woman took the spot behind him. The smell of her perfume was the distinct smell of vanilla mixed with dog shit. The aroma nearly knocked the mage off his feet.
While Guu was walking down the boardwalk, she took in everything with her senses. Most of the shops were touristy in nature, t-shirts, random knicknacks, it was clear the place made it’s money entirely through travellers wanting to use the steam boats. She had a laugh at the t-shirts put up on display: “I survived the Tangled,” “I <3 Ambrosia,” “My Best Friend is a Ninja,” “Guu is best Princess” to name a few.
The citizens come in a varied range of races and species, both in animal people and of the bland human variety. Some wore clothes from centuries past while some wore space armor. The massive amounts of variety gave her a nostalgia trip Ambrosia.
Though, as she was looking around, she couldn’t help notice the number of eyes on her. It took her a moment to remember that she was basically a celebrity in the Tangled, she figured that, for them, this is like some famous rock star suddenly showing up in your home town.
She should really consider wearing a disguise next time she enters a new town.
As she parted her way through the crowd, she couldn’t help here the murmurs of the people, uncertain if they should approach the pink one or not. Before she could eventually be ambushed, she flew up twenty feet up into the air, causing a number of people to gasp in shock. I couple even fell over backwards at the sight.
Her nostalgia soured by the rather rude onlookers, she decided to get back to business. She flew to the nearest tavern, a saloon called “Saloon.” It was around this point she realized that none of the shops had any real names. She saw “Burger Place,” “Clothes Store,” ”Soup Store,” and even “Hair Fixer Thingamabob.”
She stepped into the saloon, the place had a fresh wood smell, as if it was brand new. Outside of a few tables and chairs, the place was barely furnished, the bar wasn’t even stocked. It was clearly barren. Upon inside, she saw, a sign hanging on the wall that read: ”No drinking on the job whatsoever!”
Curiosity peaked, she tapped into her senses and paid attention to the other shops. Random people would walk into a shop, look around and leave without buying. Just over and over, sometimes the same person would go into the same shop, and their movements almost felt choreographed.
She walked towards the bar, she could sense something on the countertop. Flying up and onto a stool, she looked down at the object.
It was 100 pages, all clipped together with metal devices. The front cover read “Guu’s Visit to a Mysterious Town by The Mistress”
She opened it up somewhere early on in the book and read a random exert.
Suddenly, a large man with a bushy brown mustache and a messy comb over popped up from behind the bar. Guu is thrown back in surprise as the man speaks in a boisterous tone.
“I’m sorry for being late, you’ve arrive quite early! Care for a drink my princess?” He asked, his a grin a mile wide.
Guu had enough of this, she flew out of there in a dash, nearly breaking the doors of the hinges. Didn’t take her long to run into Gildarts.
“Oh! Princess!” He called out, waving the tickets in the air. “The old man snail didn’t take as long as I-”
Guu picked him up as she flew directly for the next steam boat.
“Woah, what’s the matter Guu?”
“We were expected,” said the princess, so matter of factly. “Let’s skip the script and set off the trap right away.”
“What do you mean?” Asked the mage, but he didn’t get a direct answer, Guu gave him the script. He opened it to the first page, which described them getting to town and their entire exchange with the ticket booth.
“Everyone here are paid actors to trick us to get on the boat.” Explained the pink one.
“And we’re getting on the boat anyways?”
“Yep.” She said. “Fighting our way off the boat is way easier than fighting our way through the jungle. But I’d rather skip the theater show.”
