Also, Farah, I’m alive.  I am in fact, alive.  Is there water?  Also leaving that gate might be dangerous.  I might have to go through there.  But water, though.  Do you have water, anywhere?

That’s the one thing.  I have not figured how to not take damage.  I can do everything else (minus the weird glitches that occasionally happen on wall hops), but I cannot really…

Prince, Prince, I told you, we are a united force.  We have to work together on this.  Hey, bar behind me.  Nice.

Prince, your (I manage to completely mess up the phrase ‘parkour skills’ and have to try again).  Your parkour skills are great.  Your parcool skills are awesome.  But you knew that one.  After a while, it may become parcool.

There’s a lot of R2 and X in this plan.  Or that could work too.  I didn’t plan that but it works.

Note to self, if you ever want something to be secure with the Prince around, don’t use poles.  (Or things he can run up.)

Dante, Pole Dancer.  Prince, Pole Dancer.

Oh, hey, my favorite friends, the saws—WAAAATER!  I am obsessed with this water—what do you mean I can’t get to it.  Let me at it.  *starts hitting pots* I will break all y’alls.  Water.  Lemme get to the water.  And just because your friends dared to stop me getting water.  I massacred all the barrels and other inanimate objects.

Why is this ladder here—stop jumping off the ladder, Prince.

Oh, there’s a room over there.  It might be one of those secret *let’s teleport to another dimension* rooms.  Let’s try this, Prince.

Really, Prince?  Straight into saw, that was good.  Great timing.

Yeah, it has the sparkly Velvet Room—it always has the seethrough Velvet Room drapes and this weird otherworldly music.  And these weird glowy rock things.  The glowy rock things are, however, yellow.  Like Mary, instead of blue, like—I’m blanking.  Ib, that’s it.  Ib.  (No, Ib had red.  You’re thinking Gary, boss—and yes, that’s two references in one.)  Or was hers pink?  It might have been Gary instead.  (Yep.)

Hey, Super Magic Water.  The rest of it’s Magic Water, but this one is Super Magic Water—seriously, I’m being possessed.  Slowly.  I’m slowly being possessed and it’s weird, but, y’know, Normal People Problems.

Prince, the door is closing.  *sigh*  All because you didn’t want to deal with the ladder.  Prince, we have to talk about this.  I mean, it’ll probably mostly be me being silently upset at you, but.  There we go.  See, was that so hard, Prince?  Seriously.

What is making that noise?  I don’t like the sound of that.  That sounds like traps or someone sharpening a sword, or—whatever it is, it is very disconcerting.

Where in the world are you, Farah?  I can hear you, but I can’t see you—How did you even get inside?

I don’t trust the stairway.  I can’t even see the stairway—Camera.  Oh, this is, in fact, a normal stairway.

There you are, how did you—oh, you’re still standing outside, okay.  Hi.  Oh, it’s as easy as standing on this thing.

I guarantee you-- …but also beautiful. [Farah]  Maybe to you. [Prince]  My father died.  …My father is deeeeeaaaad.  /slap (acting out the Batman meme because it came to mind.)  …Just saying. 

But also, we will get separated, because these people and their trap things— *sigh* Farah, what did you just say about not getting separated?  Well, I guess if you stand there it does keep it open, so thank you.
