Monster Island: Explore - Act 1

"Uh, hey! Name's bumble, wus' yours though?"

"Bumble, huh? Interesting name. Though I s'pose I'm not one to talk, huh? Anyway, I'll be heading back to my house for the night... You seem friendly enough. Want to come with?"

There is little hesitation as you follow behind them. You could really go with some food... or even just some new pants.

...

After some time you arrive at a humble cabin far into the jungle. The salty sting in the air is gone, and you sense something far earthier here. Frei guides you into the building, which is a fairly simple place. There is a table, one chair, and a large furnace covering the rest of the house. An outhouse outside answers your immediate thought, although you're still left a little concerned.

"Make yourself at home! I'll just be attending to my business, shout if you need something."

And with that, Frei pulls herself into the furnace, disappearing as she does so. You're not sure whether this is normal or not.

You gaze out the window for a while, and realize you're higher than you imagined. You appear to be on a slight hill in the middle of this dense jungle, and you manage to make out a plume of smoke to the north. Aside from that the only notable object is the... formidable gigantic tortoise out in the ocean.

It seems to be about the size of a continent, and doesn't seem to be moving. How curious.

"-y were you even...... no, no, you listen......goddammit."

Something seems to be talking, although they definitely aren't Frei. You can't make it all out... but they're near enough for you to hear.
