Which is exactly where you are!

You are Molly Misk, a country mouse who has spent all of her life in the comforting wheat fields of Plainston. Presently you are on your way to the great city of Pawpulpus to visit your young city slicker cousin, Candy. It's the first holiday you've ever taken for yourself.

You're just so excited you don't know what to do!
Or do you?

You turn restless and begin to chew on your button. The soft plastic clacking under your bite calms you a little as you bounce in your seat!

As far as you can remember about Candy, she's very sociable. And rumors through the family says she a bit of the wild type of mouse. Which is probably why she left Plainston to live in Pawpulpus. You managed to keep in touch via post cards and holiday greetings to the point where she invited you to see Pawpulpus as her personal guest. Maybe in some hope to convert you from your simple life.

Well nothing you would really considered a talent, but You're flexible. You can put your legs behind your head and squeeze through anything you can stick your head into.

In your sack you have everything you need for your holiday.
-7 Credits. A credit is currency and they are digitally transferred over wireless cards. You thought it might be good to have a little spending money.
-A toothbrush because hygiene is important.
-And an old out of date cell phone. It's not stylish. But it works just fine for what you need it for.

You don't actually recall Candy bringing up her line of work. Not that it was any business of yours.
>>
No. 722767 ID: 55c4cf

Brushing your teeth is very important, good work mouse, although you don't seem to have any toothpaste which is slightly less good work.

Do you have any numbers in your phone, or ones remembered for you to contact?
>>
No. 722768 ID: 2c3a5e

Well it isn't your business, but I thought that if you two were close enough she was going to invite you into her home it would be something that would have come up. You know like she might have told you about an obnoxious workplace incident.

It seems to be your bag is two small to fit your body in. But you can fit three paws in just fine. Not that this is helpful, as you try not to step on your Credit Card or toothbrush.

Checking your phone, you have three contacts. Your parents, who know you are on vacation. And Candy who gave you her number just before you left Plainston.

Out the window you see the wall of a tunnel. You are in a tunnel.

After you righting yourself and retrieving your paws from your bag you leave your cabin.

You pet the snake and apologize for them not feeling well and offer your assistance. Because unfortunately while you did grow up in the country, you are not a buff mouse to carry the snake.

The snake explains how you can help. At the front of the train, there's a shop. In the shop the snake explains there are bottles of pills. They need one in order to feel better.

You grab your bag and tell the snake you will be right back as you make your way to the front of the train.

You walk the snake back to their room. Which is room 14. It looks identical to yours. There's even a bag that looks like yours! The snake slithers in and rests on the floor beside the occupying bag and You're invited in. And as far as manners go you accept.

From the window you can see the outer layer of the city. That means you'll be to your stop in about maybe an hour tops. So you set your bag down and sit on the floor with snake.

Finally you introduce yourself by your name. Molly Misk.

"Oh that's a nice name for a mouse. Molly Misk Mouse. Kind of alliterative." The snake muses a little. The pills seem to have been fast acting.
"I'm Olly Wiggles." The snake hisses.
From this point on you both talk about many things. Olly's hoodie. Which is a cotton blend that they tie the arms to the back as to look like a bow and act like a belt since it's just a little too big. Neat.

Olly also offers a reimbursement of what you spent on medicine. And keeps saying oh what a life saver you are. It's almost enough to make you blush. Almost.

Olly responds enthusiastically.

"Oh! Oils and charms? Well first I have to explain what they are."

Olly explains that Oils are like potions. They can be slathered into the fur or taken orally. Olly specializes in Drug oils. It's quite lucrative. And they could go on and on about all the oils they mix.

Charms are little totems Olly says they sell to bring good luck, prosperity, vitality, and other such.

"I would show you one...but I don't have any on me when I travel. It's considered...'illegal' to take them over borders." Olly explains.

That's all Olly says about Pawpulpus.

There have been a few images with her having visible eyelashes, and I know it isn't true in real life, this is a trope.

Another similar reason is that female characters are typically written as to be insulted if someone can't tell they're a girl, while Olly seems to be taking it as a compliment.
You'd think Olly would dress more masculine if they were trying to look boyish, anyway. The bow makes them look girly if anything.

"Actually, town hall is the oldest building in Pawpulpus. If you want I'll take you to the library later and show you the history of the city..."Candy laughs uncomfortably.
Look what you've done. With your bad joke and all.

Just apologise, smile and hold her hand. She’s uncomfortable, but I wouldn't say it's because of your joke. Whatevers going on, hopefully she'll tell you in due time.

Just do your best to not worry about it right now.

See this is why you don't headbutt people, all it does is make them angry, to get out of awkward situations you need to make everybody else feel as awkward as you so you need to do something to confuse or disorientate them.
Keep this in mind as you enter the building then go and disembowel the first person you come across, this will leave everyone feeling as awkward as you are normally do.

Town hall is dark. Town hall is empty. Town hall is warm. Honestly it's a little unnerving that the only light is coming from another egg like monolith just hovering behind a figure at a desk. A soft snoring coo reverberating around the huge empty room. The desk sat between two climbing tubes that disappear into the ceiling. You can't see what's at the top.

You enter the hall and approach the desk. There is a soft hum that you didn't notice before. The receptionist is taking a nap.Probably because she's an owl....Owls make you uncomfortable. They always have.

The Owl clicks her beak and smiles before her face sours at the sight of Candy.
"Oh...it's you."
Candy smiles and leans in. It's not her usual sweet smile. There is something...not quite right about it.
Candy-"Glossy, long time no see."
Glossy-"Indeed. Ya know, I had such hope for you."
Candy-"I could say the same about you."
