"...N-no!" I (hopefully) pull out my sword and show I know how to get it. I'm going to assume you also get back to your feet, not drawing the sword while laying on the ground. I'm going to wait for Penny to post, because I think you just, probably unintentionally, set the tone for the next several comics to be... darker let's say. Okay, maybe not darker... but you're skipping the ingame tutorial, and haven't read the instruction manual and Guide Dangit! Penny might mitigate your choice there. Or she might encourage it. We'll see...

ehng... ahhh... whew... Give the Old Man a heart attack why don't you? Mostly by attacking his heart with your sword! Fortunately, Penny(or rather Avion as she's listed on her inventory screen), is good at distracting someone away from making a killing blow. Good save! And we've started carving the pumpkin already!

"Okay."

"Yeah, 'cause I can't watch my own. Eyes don't go that far." I say to Penny
"What do you mean by manner? Or influence? And since when could I do magic?" I say to the Old Man.

Meka THUNDAH! I didn't have the line up of the heroes decided, so I just grabbed some random sprites. Obviously, when you interact with them, they'll be different, since we've seen Mario already, and he doesn't look like he does in that image. No, you're not going to get to say that you trained under Batman. . . . well, maybe you are. Penny has to be taught to throw that boomerange after all, and Batman's bataranges is his trademark... of course in the games they always gave him guns. Can you believe that? Batman doesn't use guns!

"You can go ahead and take the shield and 'rang." I say to Penny.
"A map would be great. Where do you recommend we go first?" I say to the old man.

Note that the background for the "You've got" is orange for the shield, since it's primarily a physical melee, and green for the boomerang because it's primarily ranged. . . also included some enemies for examples of what the shield is doing. Without them you don't quite get the "You can block with it" or "you can shove enemies with it". Also, the map is probably going to go through some evolutions. That's a little unwieldy and hard to read where it is now. It's a magic map. It'll do that sort of thing. Like most game maps it won't show you too much that you haven't explored. What you're supposed have there is the first level of Super Mario Bros 2... only with a few oddities. Such as the little symbols(the blue is the portal you came in through, and the black is "you are here") and the downward path. Finally, nobody is in the least bit concerned about going home? You've been sucked into a video game, and you two plan on enjoying every bit of it, right? Attachments:

"We're that black and we just go back out and follow the path according to this map, right? Those symbols must be places we can visit, so let's head to that leftmost one first. It's closest."

Yay! The Chair's fixed! That means if somebody else were to fall from the sky after being sucked into the video game world, they wouldn't hit the ground hard and hurt themselves! . . . assuming you can put the chair back in place in time... Oh, and don't forget to re-equip your boomerang Avion! You had to tuck it away in order to pull out the chair. Map changed a bit. Sorta zoomed in and tried to give more identifiable icons. I think I like it better like this. But your map and even Inventory screen might change around as I think of better ways to display the stuff. And just because the symbol is the nearest doesn't mean it's going to be the easiest path to take... but you'll see... Also, note to self: Old Lady Zelda/Sheik sprite. . . Attachments:

Introducing Al! Yes, he dropped out of the portal just above the screen like you two did. He got a bit tangled up on his way down though. You guys may have to catch him up to speed. One minute he's in front of a computer, the next he's sucked into video-land... Attachments:

"Meka, go catch him!"
I equip my boomerang and throw it, hoping to take him down.

Okay, well, for your first time throwing a boomerang, that was pretty good... you sorta hit what you were aiming for. And you got him down... that's what matters, right? And Meka caught him. Go Meka go Meka go! Meka Dash! Meka Jump! Meka KICK! No wait, not that last one, we're not trying to hurt Al... ... are we? Attachments:
