So, I think we established that nobody remembers what happened this weekend, right? Right. So let's just not worry about it, okay? It's in the past, and no one knows, so who cares? If no one even knows about it, do we really even have to say it happened? Let's just move on and focus on rememberin' what happens from hereon!

So, that said, I was kinda wonderin'... How many of you have video games in your world?

[Later that day... Gold didn't exactly know what compelled him to visit the northwestern half of the village today. Not that there was anything wrong with the area, but there was nothing there. Just a bunch of house, and a huge tree. No places to hang out or anything. Maybe just boredom? Wanderlust? Curiosity? It was something.

...And yet, here he was, staring at this house. Was this house always here? How did he never notice it before? You'd think a guy would notice such a huge house in the village. Was someone living in it? It looked like it was recently abandoned... Well, only one way to find out, right?]

[Filtered to House 15 residents]
[Sometime later, after investigating that house...]

Dude, you guys... You gotta come check this out, quick!

[/Filter]

[And thus he waits near the bridge by House 15 for them to come. Of course, someone is free to catch him there while he waits and find out exactly what he's up to.]

Nope. I bet if you looked in that library for "list of the coolest video games ever made", they'd be right on it!

Somewhere.

[Voice]

[mischiefbreeder]

I know what the game is.

[talontrot]

[... please do not be bluffing please do not be bluffing -]

Seriously?!

[Voice]

[mischiefbreeder]

[You're just lucky it's a popular Nintendo console game, Kazooie.]

I said I did, so I did!

[Voice]

[talontrot]

You're the first guy here who's said that!

... Well, actually, no. One other human-type guy said that. But that was a long time ago.

[And it wasn't like this.]

Still, a fan. Thought I'd never meet one!

[Voice]

[mischiefbreeder]

Well, most people here don't exactly come from worlds with video games! The poor suckers.

[Voice]

[talontrot]

Sounds like a real gyp! At least that's one thing Luceti's good for. Gets people to see how awesome we are in person!

[... Not like it'll do any good for her back home, but still.]

[Voice]

[mischiefbreeder]

It's weird how the Mallies bring video game characters here. You're not even the first.

[Voice]

[talontrot]

Really? Who else have they brought? I mean, I know there's Oswald, but he's from shows.

[Voice]

[mischiefbreeder]

Never heard of him. [No one knows Oswald.]

Anyway, the guy's name was Bowser. Big turtle dude who likes to think he's tough.

[Voice]

[talontrot]

[Poor, poor Oswald.]

Turtle guy, huh? I've seen a couple of those. But the one I saw had some orange thing on his face...

[... Yeah, it's been awhile.]
