Upon entering the hospital, Ammy's scent of Twintelle would lead further down into the hallway. However before the two would do that and find there friend, they must speak to the woman at the front desk first, who is a Nurse Joy...But she appeared to be a little different then regular Nurse Joy's. She looked up to the two and her face was revealed...It was a very odd looking face that's for sure.



"Ditto." She simply said before pointing towards the waiting room, advising the two to sit there for a few minutes before letting them pass into the hallway, in the waiting room, there was three people.

Paula Polestar, who appeared to be suffering from a cold. "Oh, nice to see you again Ammy. Are you sick as well?" She asked the wolf goddess, holding a tissue as she almost sneezed into it, but stopped. The person sitting beside Paula was a suspicious looking man who appeared to be holding something at the side of the coat he was wearing and looked around suspiciously.

And finally, the third person that was sitting beside the man was...Rosalyn? But didn't she explode awhile ago? She turned towards Groose and Ammy and waved at them.

"Hey." She didn't seem to care that the two people that were with the woman who threw out into the eternal dark space and into a cube were nearby.

[TartoonHand94]

Groose didn’t know why, but somehow a little lick from the wolf goddess made the burning sting in his fingertips go away.
“That’s a Really good dog.” He praised the pup, petting her under the chin. His own Loftwing should be feeling jealous now. Too bad this moment didn’t last long enough.

Bursting through the Lightwing Hospitals doors like a normal person wouldn’t, Groose followed Amaterasu’s nose to where Twintelle might be. Face to the ground in similar fashion, Groose laid eye upon a pair of legs. He knew those legs anywhere.
“Hellooooo Nurse!” Groose hooted, following his eyes up her legs to her uniform and eventually to her hospitalic… inhuman face “-riously?” Groose grunted in disappointment. Why can’t even the nurses be normal today?

After putting up a minor urgent fuss, Groose surrendered and went to sit in the waiting room, sinking bored into his chair. Among the people waiting in line beside him, Groose couldn’t help but recognize. You don’t forget a face that pulled a gun on you.
“Huh? How did You get here?” He blurted out to question how Rosalyn survived getting thrown into the sun.

Groose's praise brought the wolf's tail up and wagging whilst her nose was to the ground sniffing out Twintelle's trail. But there was more. Head raising, the sun goddess' onyx eyes landed on one of the identical nurses around the hospital. However, this one was not as seamlessly similar as the regular nurses; not truly a surprise with the way this crazy day was going. She cocked her head to the side, ears forward as she listened to the odd word spoken in a shrill voice. The disappointment trickling from Ammy's companion was the perfect expression.

Still, it'd be best to play along for fear of turning any more glitch horrors upon them. They had gotten pretty deep at this point, though perhaps the familiar hospital scene was their way to claw their way back to normalcy if they played it right. Maybe. She honestly had no idea. But her hopes were sparked when the bright young face of Paula met her gaze, albeit a little pale with illness. The lupine raced over to the familiar face, tail racing back and forth, approaching the sick girl from the side away from the suspicious individual. Amaterasu let out a soft bark in greeting to the psychic. Surely if anyone was going to be friendly in this place it'd be Paula -- even if this was just some illusory version.

Barely taking a glance at the jittery man looking like he was about to rob the place, Ammy moved between them as if simply an excitable dog looking for attention. Paws up on the seat to nuzzle the blond haired girl as if that would make her feel better. Meanwhile, her wagging tail was slapping the other man's knees.

Rosalyn simply shrugged. "Science of course, it's the answer to everything." Rosalyn sipped her tea...Wait she had tea? Since when? Paula meanwhile petted Ammy and smiled warmly, before grabbing a tissue and blowing her nose. "Oh Ammy. It's nice to see you again, were you invited to Giygas tea party as well?" Paula turned towards the suspicious man, who laughed and removed his coat to reveal his true final form.





"HEEEELP!" Giygas screamed. Paula simply ignored her enemy's cries of pain as she sat on a nearby table with Rosalyn to drink some tea and chatted with the teenager as the alien screamed in pain. The light weather hallways were beginning to get distorted but fortunately for Ammy and Groose, the path in front of them glowed along with a familiar voice being heard further down the hallway. "Help, when can I escape this confusing hallway and return to my friends. I can't deal with these puzzles, that Layton guy and his daughter can but not I. I am a simple actress who's movies have a 100% rating on rotten mushrooms!" Twintelle shouted from the end of the hallway, it was best for the two to go follow her voice before Giygas completely warps the hallway into his own horrors and pain.

And if the two looked to see if Ditto Joy, Paula and Rosalyn were still around.

They would find that they were gone...With the only thing remaining is the Goddess ribbon on a dark brown table.

[TartoonHand94]

“Right. It must be science. Because I don’t understand anything.” Groose rolled his eyes, just about done with all of today’s weirdness. Today’s weirdness wasn’t done with him.
“…Who’s tea party?” Out came a swirl of screaming red like Groose’s pompadour’s worst nightmare.

The return of the girly scream greeted Giygas’ true, agonizingly screaming form. Groose could not comprehend the nature of this form and he had absolutely no idea how to start helping the pleading gas. But then, his ears caught the voice of someone he could help. Or at least he’d rather help: She was a movie star whose films got 100% ratings on Rotten Mushrooms, and he was… Gas.

“Hold On, Twintelle! Groose Is Coming!!!” Groose heroically called out to her, sprinting in her way, eager to reach her before this Giyguy tore the hospital apart.

Ammy stumbled back from the man as he jumped to his feet with the removal of his jacket. A terrible aura raged out from the suspicious individual, much like the prickle of unease generated by the tone of his scream. The lupine tore her eyes away from him to glance at Paula. She blinked a few times. It was all different now? Of course it was. For a moment she'd forgotten where they were, not specifically of course just the general glitchy horror they'd been tumbling about for the last while. The sun goddess growled, barking and stepping back toward Groose. It seemed even the illusory Paula wouldn't be offering any help in this strange game. Even more so since she and Rosalyn appeared to have disappeared save a ribbon. Before she got too far away the white wolf stretched her neck out and snatched up the glistening bow with some speck of hope Paula would have left them with some shining beacon in this dark mess.

Back to their main mission: finding Twintelle. Groose was already on it, announcing his intentions for the sake of Twintelle knowing she wasn't alone. So admirable. Forsaking any safety of his own position by perhaps focusing any enemy attention on himself. Ammy spun and followed in his footsteps.

As Twintelles loud actress like voice continued to sound through the halls, Groose and Ammy would eventually reach Twintelle, unfortunately she appeared to be standing above them on the roof. Twintelle looked down, which to her was up but it would look like she's looking down to everyone else and smiled upon seeing her teammates again. "You guys are ok!" She called out happily, before falling from the roof and landing quite elegantly. She fixed her hair before placing her fists on her hips triumphantly. "I just had a weird trip, I ended up in the middle of a cosmic space war which I barely escaped from the skin of my teeth!" Twintelle explained.

As she was about to explain some more about the cosmic war she was in, she heard a loud "AHEM!" Behind her and turned to see that it was Paula, who was ok despite vanishing again a few seconds ago. "You know, a wise boy once said, life has many doors." Paula waved her finger at the trio, as a pink balloon soon floated over to the trio and stopped in front of them. Twintelle turned to Groose and Ammy.

"I don't want to say anything, or touch that balloon." Twintelle gulped, Paula meanwhile gave off a nice life lesson. "Well the most important thing is you told the truth and nobody died." She closed her eyes, still continuing to wave her finger. Twintelle looked at Groose. "Groose, you seem brave, touch the balloon and see what will happen, if you do i'll give you one of my own prize movie awards for being such a talented actress!" Twintelle asked her partner, before giving off some puppy dog eyes.

"Pretty please." Twintelle asked, shifting her eyes. "Don't talk to strangers, including rich 12 year old's. They have a habit of clinging onto you like a parasite." Paula advised the three warmly.

[TartoonHand94]

Joined by his trusty companion Amaterasu, Groose stampeded down the ethereally collapsing hallways toward the siren call of Twintelle.
“Groose is here!” He heralded his own arrival as he turned the last corner to find Twintelle…upside down? “What are you doing up there? Get down before you hurt yourself!” And like any reckless child you say that to, she jumped down. And unlike any reckless child, she landed quite elegantly, rendering Groose’s attempts to catch her pointless.
“And we were… in the waiting room.” Groose recounted their adventures anti-climactically. “Let’s never split up again, ‘kay gang?”

As he was about to listen to more about the cosmic war she was in, a loud Ahem interrupted them.
It was that blond girl from earlier with a pink balloon.

“Yeah I think after the day we’ve had, the last thing we wanna do is be touching random pink-Wait did you say brave?” Groose agreed with Twintelle’s first sentiment before her second one hit him.
“W-well I suppose, I-if you insist, I mean not like the Great Groose is afraid of anything or anything?” He grinned flusterdly. No way he could say no to those puppy eyes. “Alright, balloon, do your worse. There’s an academy award for best acress on the line!”

Groose poked the balloon.

What a fool.

Thank goodness! Disregarding the bizarre angle of which they met up with their ally they were all reunited safe and sound. Ammy's tail wagged happily back and forth as Twintelle excitedly mentioned her brief adventure while they were separated. However, with the throat clearing loudly behind them the happy feelings were cut short. Amaterasu spun around, golden bow still clenched dryly between her teeth; the last thing she wanted to do is cover the exquisite ribbon in dog slobber. Seeing Paula standing there made her worries subside a little, but there was still something off about her. Maybe. Or maybe it was just all this glitchyness and chaos that had been happening all day putting Ammy on edge. She still clung to the hope the pink dressed psychic girl was here to extend a helpful hand.

The balloon held all of her attention, a bit of static making the wolf's fur stand on end. What was this for? What did it have to do with young boys? First Paula mentions a wise boy giving her wisdom, and next she said never to trust them. Ammy looked between Paula and Groose, considering whether she should intervene or trust her friend's balloon. She took a breath, then barked her support. Go brave Groose go!

"Woo Groose, I don't believe in you but touch the balloon anyway!" Twintelle yelled out her sort of support for Groose. Once he got close enough, the balloon simply stopped floating upwards and instead moved towards Groose. When it got close enough, it opened it's mouth and proceeded to suck Groose into the balloon, much to the surprise of Twintelle. The balloon began to move upwards, breaking through the roof of the hospital somehow.



"Groose! Hang on!" She called out to her partner as she grabbed the balloon with her hair, unfortunately it caused her hair to stick to the balloon, preventing her from escaping it's grip. "Grr, I can't move, uh oh!" Twintelle began to get pulled upwards and towards the roof. She called down towards Ammy and Paula for help. "Heeeeeelp, the balloon's got me as well!" Instead of helping Paula pointed towards Twintelle. "The mission is not yet over!" Paula called out, it looks like it was up to Ammy to save the day.

(To reach Twintelle and try to pull her down, roll a 13 in Strength or higher. Rolling a 10 will simply cause Ammy to latch onto the balloon, but rolling lower will cause Twintelle and Groose to float completely out of the hospital.)

Instead the balloon, Groose would find that the balloon was very bouncy, but unfortunately he was slowly losing air. It was best to find a way to get out of the balloon soon before he suffocates, even if it meant blowing the balloon up!

(To blow up or escape the balloon, you must roll a critical 20 in strength, failure will cause Groose to get 5% damage every turn until he escapes.)

Paula simply grumbled, today was not really her day. 

[TartoonHand94]

Like the bravest man to ever brave the bravery needed to be brave, Groose bravely brought himself forward to touch the floating pink balloon. He almost did it when a backhanded remark from Twintelle broke his focus.
“Oh yeah! Well I’ll show you!” He turned around to back talk after recovering from a facevault. “At least the dog believes in me.” He murmured, reaching out to poke the pink thing. But strangely, his fingers did not feel a balloon where it should be. Turning around to feel with his eyes, instead of the innocent and unassuming pink balloon he was expecting, Groose found a menacing pink balloon opening its maw to gobble him up. Which, of course, it did.
“Thisisnothowballoonswork!” Groose panicked as the balloon broke through the hospital ceiling with him trapped inside. “Heeeeeelp, the balloon's got me!”

And who else but miss ‘don’t believe’ herself attempted to come to his rescue, only to get her hair caught on the balloon instead.
“Heeeeeelp, the balloon's got her too!” Groose shrieked in distress at Ameterasu who was their only hope now.

Well, not their Only hope. You need the most hope when things look the most hopeless. And if there was anyone who was good at hoping in himself no matter how hopeless a failure he was, it was Groose!

“Loftwing-” Groose inhaled as he wound up his fist to punch his way out of the balloon. “-Punch!”

And it worked! We know what you were all hoping. Sorry to disappoint you.

The lupine yipped in surprise as the balloon turned to sucking in Groose's whole manly figure! Ammy took a step forward before realizing how bad her first instinct was: to bite it. If contact with the object resulted in being lost in its airy mass, going head first was definitely not going to help the situation. Twintelle had a similar idea, lunging forward to try and grasp the rising pair of balloon and Groose, but it resulted in what the white wolf had worried about. Now with two brave Life Sphere heroes stuck in or on the seemingly harmless thing it was all up to Amaterasu.

She huffed. Brain whirring with plans to best approach. She could continue the train. Jump up and grab Twintelle's feet in an attempt to outweigh the lifting power of the balloon and hopefully wrench it down to bring her allies to safety... or... Maybe try to pop it instead? She had, effectively, a disembodied sword that should do just the trick on cutting open the balloon. The trick would just be to ensure she didn't accidentally slice any of Twintelle's luscious locks. The sun goddess circled around below, eying the balloon for the perfect section to cleaning swipe her celestial brush but... then it popped.

With an epic battle cry Groose burst open his cage like a certain flashy captain she knew. The room seemed to sparkle in the wake of the resounding crack as the air released with the Skyloft hero. Ammy's tail went back into rapid wagging mode, barking excitedly at the feat. Who knew Groose was more than just his hair?

But it was back to business. Ammy twisted around to view Paula, half expecting that horrible parasite creature from the basement of the Pigmask lab, but still hoping for the kind hearted psychic to greet her gaze.

Twintelle tried to reach down to Ammy but her attempts were in vain. It appears she was stuck and it didn't seem Amaterasu was not coming for her rescue. In the skies there appeared to be something large, however it couldn't be seen thanks to the balloon suddenly popping thanks to Groose saving himself. Paula remained silent as Twintelle proceeded to fall back towards Ammy and Paula. "AHHH, WATCH OUT!" She screamed to the girls as she was about to fall on Ammy.

"Ammy, Amaterasu, sun goddess, wolfo, LOOK OUT!" Was the last thing she said before Twintelle landed on the ground of the hospital and was knocked out. Amaterasu and Groose, if they weren't knocked out either would soon hear a voice in there minds. "Hello...Hello?" The voice sounded familiar, it sounded like it was...A toad. Either way they would soon feel sick and would also faint soon after.



When Twintelle and the others awoke they would find themselves back in the bank they were in earlier, with a Toad Officer and a floating hat standing in front of them. "Goodness, are you three ok?" The Toad Officer asked with a sound of worry in his tone. "Yeah, we hope the Cap Gas didn't do anything to your minds or anything." The cap kingdom citizen said. Twintelle felt a bit dizzy, but more and more she was better and not hurt, she stood up and looked around.

"Were back...Wait, were we knocked out?" Twintelle looked down at the Toad Officer and Cap. "Yes, we were busy placing a gas canister for the citizens of the Cap Kingdom in here. They recently joined the life sphere and they requested that we put these canisters everywhere to keep them from falling to the ground and preventing them from moving." The cap floated forward to the trio. "Us citizens use this gas to float, however it's said that if you smell it for the first time it could cause hallucinations and even some faint spells." Twintelle realised that everything that's happened was the result of a gas based hallucination and looked back at Groose and Ammy.


"Guys, were ok, I didn't destroy LI and everyone's the same, there not some monsters, blown up or even glitched, everything is...Normal!" Twintelle breathed heavily, she just wants to go home to her fabulous penthouse that she got because there was a a murder spree that happened in her apartment before she came to LI and nobody wanted it. 

[TartoonHand94]

“Twinty! Twintelle! Goddess of Armed Cinema and doggo, LOOK OUT!” Groose echoed as he came tumbling after. Despite the sacred and legendary Lofting Punch saving the day, they were nowhere Groose’s own Loftwing could get to them in time to save him from falling on them. The best he could do was miss. He did his best. At least he didn’t land on his pompadour.
“Show me ya moo-” Groose groggily blurted out before passing out where he landed.

Next thing he knew his eyes were trying to focus on the blurred sight of…a ceiling? A ceiling that was intact and not discombobulated and swirling through space! A blink later and something obstructed the ceiling. It was a big bulbous ball like object with spots? A blink later it was a Toad.
“You again?” Groose mumbled, still not completely back in the game yet. “Where’s my princess?” He weakly rotated his head around.

Surely enough, there she was, standing up and looking around. Great view from down there. “Well if she’s okay, I’m okay.” Groose relaxed, not bothering to get up and check if he did break that thing of his enough. “Where’s the puppy?” He craned his head in the other direction.

“Wait so… All that stuff that happened… Didn’t happen?” Groose shook his head to try to combat the continuous misunderstanding. He wasn’t so sure what to believe as that was as weird to him as anything else that happened that day… or didn’t happen that night? What is life? _{And what is real? And why do living things need feelings?}

“Wait… if all of that was a dream, how do I know I’m not still dreaming now?” ever the sharpest of wit, Groose decided to test this layer of reality. He did spend the whole day with a supermodel, after all. Something had to be dreamy about that.

She'd barely gotten a wink of that nice pink dress when her attention shot back upward. Twintelle's scream did well as a warning, but other than that there was no time to avoid the effects of gravity. The actress slammed onto Ammy's back, probably acting as a nice furry cushion, and sent the lupine crumbling to the floor. Her head beat against the ground and knocked her out in a whir of white hot pain.

Head swimming, nose burning with an alien smell, the sun goddess started coming to at the sound of familiar croaky voice. She grumbled. Twintelle's weight lifted off of her yet she wasn't ready to get up herself. It had been a hard day. Who knew just how much work it would be as a body guard for a bank tour? Another voice joined in, going through an explanation of how it was they could have been experiencing such craziness. Amaterasu blinked a few times but continued laying on the floor, though adjusted to be a bit more comfy and raised her head to show that she was, for the most part, alright. There was only a slight bit of miff at the idea the bank was introducing such a chemical without setting up any sort of warning for others. Amaterasu huffed, nose twitching for a second before she dipped her head down to scratch it with her paws a couple times. At the very least it was good to know everyone was okay.

At Groose's question of this reality she paused, thinking. It was a reasonable question, though this place was the most normal of Li scenes they've had since the whole thing started. She gazed at all the background figures; all seemed in order. The roof existed and out the windows there weren't any strange black voids or floating letters. Everything being spoken by beings other than their party of three were making sense: a bonus. Still...

The white wolf finally stood, feeling a bit of ache in her muscles as she did so. Her divine mirror ignited and swung around her side, slamming into the ground as hard as she could muster at the moment. If this was a continued glitchy fever dream then surely something bizarre would happen in response. Hopefully the act would bring a surefire answer to the question.
