An exit? You certainly don't look like a patient here sir, are you another visitor?

[canihelpyou]

Well, I'm meant to be a contestant in th-those fights, but, I'm really just trying to find someone.

[smileandbearit]

Fights? Goodness, there is fighting going on here? [Glances at Edda again.

Edda hmphs, explains that he's an Endzone contestant and he's meant to be looking for his next opponent.]

[canihelpyou]

Th-That's not exactly who- C-Could you please point me in the direction of the exit?

[smileandbearit]

[Something had been feeling strange lately, barely noticable but there...]

I'm sure we can guide you to at least the lobby, we need to pass by it, don't we Nurse Edda?

[SIGH I suppose we can escort him at least part of the way, mumble grumble stupid experiment disrupting daily workings]

Splendid! Come along sir, we'll have you on your way in no time.

[canihelpyou]

Ferris wheel, th-thank you! Thank you so much!

[smileandbearit]

You seem so eager to find your next opponent, are you that keen to fight?

[canihelpyou]

Oh, n-no, that isn't it. I-I don't really care about this tournament thing, th-the person I'm looking for is... Sh-She's a very important friend, I'm trying to find my way to her again.

[smileandbearit]

A friend... My, then I wish you the best of luck in locating her. I do hope she hasn't gone very far, that which you lose always seems to turn up in the most unexpected place.

[canihelpyou]

She is probably far from this island, but... I won't give up. No matter what, I want to see Clarice again.

[smileandbearit]

Then I am sure you shall see her soon.

Ah, wherever are my manners, I am Goldilocks. It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr..?

[canihelpyou]

I'm the Climber, it's nice to meet you too Miss Goldilocks.

[smileandbearit]

Mr. Climber, you certainly look as though you've been through a lot. This is the first I've heard of any such tournament, is it truly safe?

[canihelpyou]

Haha... I-It didn't seem like much at first, but... B-Bad things always seem to happen here.

[smileandbearit]

Goodness me, do you think so? I like it very much here, and all the other children seem happy enough.

[canihelpyou]

Y-You do? Well. I-I guess, if you're not fighting all the time, it would be b-better.

[smileandbearit]

Haha, quite so Mr. Climber. Although... The people who work here do always seem rather on edge, I wonder why. Perhaps they are concerned about this 'Endzone' too.

[canihelpyou]

Oh, I-I hope we're not bothering anybody.

[smileandbearit]

[Ahead of them, Nurse Edda snorts. Goldie chuckles]

Fear not, I'm sure you are just fine. After all, surely they would not be holding this tournament if they were not prepared.

[canihelpyou]

Heh, I hope y-you're right. Um, Miss Goldilocks, c-can I ask you something?

[smileandbearit]

You just have Mr. Climber, but worry not, for I shall allow you to ask one more.

[canihelpyou]

O-Oh, yes, sorry, it's just... What is that? On your hands, and your head?

[smileandbearit]

[Nurse Edda is eyeing youuu] These? Oh, they're just runes, it's standard practice for the nurses here.

[canihelpyou]

[These looks I am getting, m-maybe I should not ask after all]

I-I see.

[smileandbearit]

Hmm? Do not worry too much, it is nothing dangerous. You need not fear, Mr. Climber. Why, I am in fact on the way to my final evaluation, if all goes well I shall be returning home! I'm so excited.

[canihelpyou]

Oh! S-So, you're getting out too? C-Congratulations.

[smileandbearit]

Thank you. I'm hoping things will run smoothly, although I shall miss my friends here I am so looking forward to seeing my father and everyone in Goldbrick again.

[canihelpyou]

Goldbrick? Where is that?

[smileandbearit]

It's quite far from this island, a very humble place with good, hard working people. It has been so long since I've been there, I wonder if it has changed much.
