>1 Tell some rock-based jokes, like... "Gee Herbert, sounds like this rock might have a lot of Sedimental value to you... also, I'm sorry if we got off to a rocky start back there. I promise I'll never take you for Granite."

I want to make some boots!
Herbert: Alright. This surface is too smooth so let's take a look around for a big rock.

Herbert: Ahh, there's one now.
Someone has been here before.
Herbert: You are not the first to enter this land, Pal.
Hmm...
"Gee Herbert, sounds like this rock might have a lot of Sedimental value to you... also, I'm sorry if we got off to a rocky start back there. I promise I'll never take you for Granite."
Herbert: ...Heheh. Are you being clever?
That's funny... I'm not sure why I said that.
Daniel: Buddy, look!

3 black creation fragments pop out of the boulder.

W-wha..!
That's interesting!
Herbert: I'm not sure how you did that but good job, Pal.

You store the 3 BLACK CREATION FRAGMENT(s) in your inventory.

Now what do I do?
Herbert: You need a plain surface to begin your creative endeavours.
Daniel: How about our room?
Herbert: I'm sure that will be acceptable.
Okay!

Herbert: This form of artwork is a roundabout way of conjuring.
Conjuring?
Herbert: Yes. In this place, ideas can be made to be real.
Herbert: All you have to do is believe.
Herbert: Take your conjuration Daniel for example.
Herbert: You believed in him so he became real.
... Daniel has always been with me. Even before this place.
Herbert: ...Hm.
Herbert: You conjured him elsewhere?
I don't think so...? Right, Daniel?
Daniel: I've never been apart from my Buddy.
Herbert: .... Things may get very interesting...
Herbert: I can't wait to see what's in store for you, Pal.
Herbert: Anyways, how about sketching some boots on the wall there.
Herbert: Remember to imagine what they look like in your mind's eye. It helps with the process.
Okay, here goes...

Herbert: That's right.
W-whoa!! They just popped out of the wall!
Herbert: This technique is called ((conjuring/reality bending)). If you practice it enough, you won't even need the chalk.
Called... what?
Daniel: He says that it's called reality manipulation. We can alter things with our thoughts!
That's... Very cool...
Daniel: Try them on?
Okay!

Comfy!
Herbert: Looks like you're ready for adventure.
I sure am!
Herbert: Then let's go.
Herbert: I should warn you though.
Huh?
Herbert: Outside has ((Denizens/mutations)) wandering about. Besides the natural hazards of this realm, They could prove to be an ((obstacle/benefit)). Trust your own judgement and proceed in the best way you know how.
.... Uhm.
Daniel: There are monsters wandering about, Buddy!
Daniel: They may be nice or mean. It's up to you whether you want to be nice or mean yourself!
!!
I'm not going to let some mean monster hurt you guys! I will protect you.
Daniel: You are so brave! I'm lucky to have a friend like you.
Hehe...

You hop down the ledge into the sea of shards, what would you like to investigate first?

1. Head towards to light
2. Wander the dunes
3. Press through to the east.

(The monsters in this reality take on a different aspect than you may be used to. Fighting/friending will impact Daniel's story in unforeseen ways.)
