#most of the real fish are too large for elfilin to catch

[dimensional-duo]

[expvrgction] Now this wasn't the world the Doom Slayer wanted to go to, but at least the environment was familiar enough for him.

He wasn't too far from the nearest settlement, but inhabitants there are alien to him. At least he could see some Waddle Dees going about their day, some enjoying life on the beach, but the others? None whom he had met before.

The armored man stood there silently, unsure if it would be wise to approach these beings-- He wasn't the most social man nowadays, couple that with the thought of there being those protective of their land.

But there were a lot of things he needed to know.

(big boi doomguy @ elfilin and dimentio!)

At first, the waddle dees seemed blissfully unaware of the foreign soldier's presence. However, over time, they started eyeing him curiously and whispering to each other. Some of the wild beasts also watched, hidden within the greenery. It was difficult to tell if any of them knew of him from Dream Land, but at least they didn't look apprehensive (yet).

The two unrecognizable beings in question appeared to be sitting in the grass, a large tub of water in front of them. The fuzzier one watched as the more colorful one tied a string to a small branch. Then, a magnet was attached to the other end of the line.

"Alright, now let's see if I can make this work..."

Scattered about was a collection of tiny fish-shaped metal toys. The jester picked one up, stared at it intently, and snapped his fingers. Suddenly, the toy began to violently wriggle in his hand, as though it were a real aquatic creature, and slipped into the tub with a splash! He then proceeded to do the same with the other toys until they were all swimming about in the tub, a makeshift miniature pond. It was a fairly simple animation spell, but effective for what it was needed for.

"There you go, Elfie! Now you can finally have your own fishing fun!"

"Whoaaa! This is so cool! Thank you~!"

The rodent fluttered about like an ecstatic butterfly before taking the pretend rod and practicing his casting. It was only then that his friend noticed the Doom Slayer standing in the distance. He froze, his smile fading as he tried to determine if they were in danger or not. That armor and weaponry looked...pretty threatening...

"Hello?" he called out, cautiously floating forward, "...Can I help you?"
