[NO MORE JUMPSCARING,]

Huh, so it's named after the explorer.

[he has heard of marco polo though,]

Wait, so you're you in the middle of a game? Who are you with?

[forefall]

There's an explorer named Marco Polo?

[ news to her! ]

... No one. I was wandering.

[ as if she'd admit to being lost so soon. ]

[bookpapers]

[(lavi voice) maybe it's not the same guy...]

Hmm... [hmmMMMmmMMMM] So you were just saying Marco for fun?

[forefall]

I was hoping someone would say Polo back.

[ there's a beat as she realizes how pathetic that sounds but looks away as if there's nothing wrong and she doesn't know better. ]

[bookpapers]

[Lavi doesn't think it's pathetic, he thinks it's cute... But he feels like saying that might make Four yeet him into the cornfield head first.]

I'm here now, ain't I? Must be your luck that summoned me.

[or lavi's intrepid curiosity that makes him explore all things]

[forefall]

[ she wouldn't. she's not that type of character. well, she is, but she isn't.

... ]

I don't know if I would consider myself that lucky. I'd say your curiosity brought you here.

[bookpapers]

[WHICH IS IT? ARA?]

Quick as ever.

[hehehe, when she's right, she's right.]

C'mon. With your smarts and my curiosity, we'll find the exit in no time.

[forefall]

[ that's for you to find out or to not find out..... it'll become apparent by endgame, probably.

she's a little doubtful. ]

All right. We may as well choose a direction. We can't go anywhere by staying still.

[ she starts walking. hope they get even more lost. ]

[bookpapers]

[STOP they can't be lost forever, maybe. Lavi will follow after,

after some time he speaks up,]

Oh, I went right here last time. That led to a dead end.

[there's a left turn and also one that just goes straight, remaining]

[forefall]

[ they don't have to be lost forever, just a time. time to take a left and be surrounded by scarecrows. ]

Were you lost, Lavi?

[bookpapers]

I was exploring!

[he was lost, yeah. but in that annoying way when the person who's lost doesn't mind being lost.

(muffled chainsaw sound intensifies)]

[forefall]

You sound so easygoing about it.

[ the chainsaw noises in the distance sets her on edge, and she slows her pace. ]

[bookpapers]

It feels like an adventure.

[he's incredibly annoying like that,

though he also slows down a little as the sound picks up,]

Do you have scarecrows back in your world?
