it's down and you're trying to figure out why your store is going out of business

Yes, you're Mark Down and your shop has been doing terribly. Ever since that whole business with the name-changing decree, in fact. So you've decided to go on a journey to figure out the reason why, which clearly can't be that you keep closing the store to go on journeys.

Of course, the first thing you had to work out was exactly where this journey was going to take you.

you are on the way to the lake to go to the underwater palace

So you decided to start with the underwater palace, because there's probably a fountain of knowledge or something in there. That's why you're here, at the bottom of the lake... oh, hey, there's the palace.

You head inside and... wait, who's that?

Downer

You are now Mark Downer. You desperately want to be named Debbie again but the only plan you could think of involved pretending to get married to the stupid blanket again. But since you couldn't find any information on any parties, you decided to swim down to the underwater palace and sulk.

Until this jerk showed up here suddenly and interrupted your sulking time. How are you going to deal with him?
