I. CITY SLICKER

[Really, how was Angus to know? All he did was greet a guard with a bright, "Hello, sir! Do you happen to know where--" and instantly he was being told he was in violation of the law. He tried to explain himself, but then they started going on about children displaying emotion and his brightly colored fancy clothes and brandishing their swords at him, and he ran off as fast as his little legs could carry him.

He may be small, but he's certainly fast, and he thinks on his feet. He managed to slip himself into a trash can, but he's, uh, regretting it. Severely.

Every once in a while, he peeks out of the can to check on his surroundings. Maybe you noticed the lid of this nondescript trash can nudge a little?

II. SKY ISLANDS, OR SKYLANDS

[Angus is quick to observe, and observing these strange floating islands that seem to alter shape as fluidly as paint mixes into new colors has definitely proven fruitful so far. They seem to form around the living beings on them, as he quickly noticed the place take certain moon-like qualities around himself.

He concentrated very hard on recreating the Voidfish's chambers, but no Voidfish was to be found. Just a giant, cylindrical glass full of water rather than fish goo. Next, he tried the Fantasy Costco next to that, thinking maybe he could recreate his favorite soft serve ice cream.

Only the ice cream machine appeared upside down, and sputters out mystery liquid rather than any form of vanilla anything.

In fact, the detail on the shelving of the shopping aisles is completely off. There's product fused through the displays, shelves that are vertical somehow, and randomly, a tree growing out of the ground, but completely cleanly. There's no trace that it burst through the flooring. It looks as if it's simply part of the concrete.

Suddenly, the floor starts to crack and crumble below Angus' feet. He steps out of the way, yelping.

Oh!! Oh, gosh, did I beef it already...?

III. KICK BACK, RELAX

[Well, gee. Angus has never been to the beach before! He looks completely out of place with his little bowtie, suspenders, and newsie cap, and he's getting all kinds of sand in his loafers, but he couldn't be more excited. The beach! With all the fish and the-- wow, volleyball! Coconut drinks? Angus didn't even think those could be real!

He gratefully grasps a halved coconut and starts drinking out of it, but he stares at the clear tide as it goes in and out, looking almost vexed.

He wants to go in the water, but he's not dressed in his swim trunks. That just won't do.

Oh, but he really wants to. He gazes longingly at the waves. He doesn't even know how to swim, but he doesn't have to go out that far, does he? Just a little?

But then his socks will get wet! Oh, what a conundrum.
