"Well, my sweetheart, it's time for a bedtime story" *wink wink*
With that sorted out, Mike will let her tell him how to properly a door and the text that has to be said.

[Harry Baldman]

In an underground realm...

Maps looks for any signs of unusual fauna around the place!

[Perception roll: ?]

Well, there's birds. They're pink. There's dogs. Those are pink as well. Pink horses, pink cats, pink giant earthworms, pink people, pink everything. Now that he thinks about it, there sure is a lot of pink around here. It's quite odd, he must say!

[People attention roll: 3]

A single pink person strolls up to Maps and vocalizes in a pink-sounding voice:

"<###$$$&&&>! <%%##@@&&>?"

It sounds vaguely like the sound of a pink bird flying above a pink cloud!


In the mind of a lady...

Mike, having totally enthralled the woman, decides to interrogate her seductively and smoothly!

[Woman informativeness roll: 2]

The woman, however, seems to be too distracted by Mike's animal magnetism to provide any help on demon summoning! There is a look of barely repressed desperation on her face!

[TopHat]

Utilise my massive intellect to work out what he's saying and be able to translate the language.
((like the thing with Skellie-speak at the start of Chapter 1 ))

[Harry Baldman]

In the realm of pink...

Maps tries to understand the pink fellow! Just because the language is totally alien doesn't mean he couldn't translate it!

[Intelligence roll: ?+1]

Yeah, it's easy-peasy, actually. Maps instantly works out a principle of communicating with these people!

"<@@@^^^///iiiiii>!" /("Surrender your soul, thought-cube, or I shall devour your flesh and defile your family where you stand!")

"<###$$$@@@***&*()> <%%%@@@!!!///&&&$$$###> <{{{%%%@@!!^^^^^^>, <$$$^%%%@@@> <&&&%%%$$$###>?" /("No.")

[Reaction roll: ?]

"<###$$$&*>!" /("I say, would you know where the bathroom might be? It's been so long since I've gone number two and I'm currently experiencing a sharp pain in my abdomen. The doctors say it's perfectly natural, but I think my wife is correct in the belief that it is actually a divine curse of some kind!")

Well, that's a bummer for the pink dude. Maps hopes he gets better!

[TopHat]

Utilise sign language to ask of I'm making any sense.
If not, re-think language.

[Harry Baldman]

In a pink realm with pink pinkness everywhere...

Maps tries to use sign language against the foul pink fellow!

[Nonverbal communication roll: 3]

He can't think of any way to kinetically show the words "making sense"! As a result, he is just stuck making a vaguely questioning gesture!

[Pink Man intelligence roll: ?]

The pink man just shrugs equally confusedly!

<##$$//////ii$$$$$>. /("You're making perfect sense to me, thought-cube. Do you want to come with me? I'll show you the city!")

Well, that's a relief!

[TopHat]

Thank him, follow, say that I hope he gets better.

[Harry Baldman]

In a world where pink rules all...

Maps thanks the fellow and expresses his condolences for his gruesome condition!

[Pink Man reaction roll: ?]

"<///##$$^^^>, <$$$&&&&&&***> <%%%###$$$$$$###>!" /("Follow me, I have treasure to give you!")

Well, that's nice!

[Yoink]

Unbearable?!
Timothy was shocked. That Louis person seemed like such a nice fellow, if a bit overly loud and suspicious of strangers. Like a real father-figure to these mischevious young strawchildren.
"Oh, come on, now!" Timothy said as the three led him along, "He only doing that so he protects you! Is not realise he being mean, I not think, jus' keepin' alla youse safe. You know what, I's think you all is need to be sitting down an' have a chat, a big talk over alla them differences. Den youse all understand things!"

>Quickly organize a reconcilatory meal and chat to patch things up between the young scarecrows and their father-figure, Louis!

>Ensure biscuits and whatever beverage strawpeople prefer are provided in copious amounts, and help mediate the discussion.

>Once the young ones have explained how they feel about Louis's bossiness, how a scarecrow needs to go out into the world to find themselves, to learn who they are and how to deal with the world, then extend an invitation for whoever wishes to join me to come along on a pleasant, exciting working holiday, where they will see new places, make new friends, learn new skills and maneouvres and generally have an excellent time!

 >Explain it would also make for an excellent bonding experience for them!

[Harry Baldman]

In the lair of the scary-crows...

Timothy cannot abide such disregard of parental authority! After all, look where that got him! He has to persuade these youths that Citizen Lou is not the abominable tyrant he seems to be at first sight! He cares about these scary-crows! Well, possibly, anyway!

"Oh, come on, now! He only doing that so he protects you! Is not realise he being mean, I not think, jus' keepin' alla youse safe. You know what, I's think you all is need to be sitting down an' have a chat, a big talk over alla them differences. Den youse all understand things!"

[Cadet reaction roll: 2]

"You're taking his side? Unbelievable! That hideous old piece of kindling earned his one-way trip to the fire a long time ago! No way are we going to talk to him about this! Only way we're having a talk is if I get a sharp axe and a torch to go with it! Yeah, then we'll have a real good talk."

The two other scary-crows with him nod approvingly! Geez, they must really hate this guy!

"So, are we getting out of here or what?"

[miauw62]

Mike will find a subconcious bed and get started.

[Harry Baldman]

Inside the mind of a woman...

Mike and his subconscious love-slave try to find a bed of some kind!

[Woman subconscious roll: 6]

They find the most comfortable bed in the universe, all made up for two people! They lie down on it!

[Mike will roll: 2]
[Woman will roll: 5]

The woman prods Mike as he is totally distracted from whatever he might have thought of doing by the sheer comfort of being in this bed!

[Woman reaction roll: 6]

The woman shrugs after a while and just enjoys the softness of the bed, allowing herself to drift off in sheer satisfaction at this supreme-quality bedding!

[miauw62]

While the subconcious sleeps, Mike will ask her the text and how to prepare a door, so her sleep-talking will reveal the secrets!

[TopHat]

follow warily.

[Harry Baldman]

Inside a woman's subconscious...

Mike tries to snap out of his comfort-induced stupor!

[Will roll: 3]

Eh... maybe he really does have to get up... he really should get around to it... any minute now...

Mike slowly gets up and yawns in a few minutes, stretching out his arms! He looks at the mostly-absent woman! Time for some *yawn* persuasion!

[Persuasion roll: 6-1]

He manages to sweet-talk the sleeping woman into revealing the text and the door preparation rite to Mike! Hopefully he can remember all this!

[Memorization roll: ?]

Yeah, he should have no problem with remembering that.

So, now he has what he wanted and he didn't even have to put out to get it. That's a first! Score!


In a world of pink...

Maps follows the pink individual, making sure to look out for anything dangerous!

[? roll: ?]

He is led into a pink building and taken through several pink corridors! How wonderful!

[Perception roll: ?]

Everybody seems to be looking at him. Everybody. Their eyes show murderous intent, and their hands rest on various implements of murder such as pink quills, pink inkwells with hot pink ink in them and pink paper knives for cutting even pinker paper! Maps feels very threatened by this atmosphere! The pink walls are pinkishly closing in on his not-pink existence, both in a physical and mental sense!

They're plotting something against him. He knows it. Nobody can be this pink and simultaneously not up to something.
