"Allow me to educate both of you in the operation of the Ruins."
Toriel smiled before stepping on the buttons on the floor in a
specific order. Then she pulled a lever. The door opened.
"The Ruins are full of puzzles. Ancient fusions between diversions
and door keys. One must solve them to move from room to room.
Please adjust yourselves to the sight of of them." Toriel went to
the next room.
Ginger walked and saw Toriel standing in front of a bridge. Ginger
narrowed her eyes. "To make progress here, you will need to trigger
several switches. Do not worry, I have labelled the ones you need
to flip." Toriel looked at both of them. Ginger went to the sign on
the wall.
Stay On the Path.
Ginger narrowed her eyes and reluctantly continued.
Liliana stared at the lever before walking across another bridge.
Then when she looked to the right, two levers were on the wall this
time, and one of them had multiple yellow arrows around it.
Lilliana also followed, but stopped when she caught something
yellow at the corner of her eye. Why did it look like a flower? She
shrugged it off and followed Ginger and Toriel to the next room.
Ginger stopped when she saw a dummy in the room. She grabbed her
stick and readied it at her side.
"As humans living in the Underground, monsters may attack you. Both
of you will need to be prepared for this situation. However, worry
not! The process is simple. When you encounter a monster, you will
enter a FIGHT. While you are in a FIGHT, strike up a friendly
conversation. Stall for time. I will come to resolve the conflict.
Practice talking to the dummy," Toriel said.
Ginger sighed and stood forward. She entered a FIGHT with the
dummy. Ginger's hand was on the FIGHT button, and she pressed it.
She quickly hit the dummy, and it's dust was released into the air.
Some dust fell onto her hands.
YOU WON!
You earned 0 XP and 0 gold.
"Ahh! The dummies are not for fighting! They are for talking!"
Toriel said quickly. A new dummy spun and replaced the old one.
Ginger went off to the side.
She also pressed fight. She took her sniper and shot a plastic
bullet at it, and the dust was spread onto her sniper.
"Ah! Both of you! Dummies are not for fighting! We do not want to
hurt anybody, do we..?" she quickly shook her head off. "No, that
is not possible. Come now." and she disappeared into the next room.
Ginger sighed and followed Toriel to the next room. As they went
along, Ginger entered a FIGHT.
Froggit attacks you!
Ginger grinned and pressed the FIGHT button without thinking twice.
She hit the Froggit with her stick, and it's dust sprayed onto
Ginger's hands and Ginger's stick.
