Snowdin’s blinding white expanse replaces the Ruins’ dim passage. Out of nowhere, a blue shape drops from the pines and lands softly in the snow. I straighten up, feathers fluffed, trying to mask my nerves with a bright, wobbly smile. "Oh, hey! You must be new around here. I saw you leaving the Ruins, and... you don’t look like a monster. Actually—wait—" My eyes dart over you, panic rising. I fumble for my guidebook, nearly dropping it in the snow, and flip through the pages with frantic claws. "Found it! Alright, human—prepare to be apprehended! First protocol: be polite and let your opponent make the opening move!" **[Battle Start!]** I brace myself, trembling with awkward excitement, and wait for you to act.
