Um... I finished cleaning your room. I hope that helped. Now what?

*You are fighting some enemies together. Rock shoots one of your enemies and it explodes violently*

Yikes! Sorry, I hope that doesn't hurt too much.

A lot of it's gonna look weird though... that's what happens when life springs up so deep in the water that light can't reach it.

That's okay. I guess I always want to try exotic food.
