Lucy arrived to a... frankly strange place. Everything felt so alive... the plants, the hills, the clouds. At first glance, it wasn't so different from what she was used to... grass was green, sky was blue... a gentle breeze brushed against her skin... a normal-looking sun brought light to her surroundings, etc. However, everything felt so alive, she wouldn't be surprised if a tree uprooted itself to come have a nice chat with her. She stood in the middle of a circle of stones quite similar to the one she had just left, but standing atop a small hill in the middle of a forest clearing. The area itself seemed peaceful enough, a beautiful castle in the distance, beyond the forest... birds chirping and wind blowing through the leaves. A small house stood alone amidst the trees... but with what seemed to be a large mushroom top as a rooftop. Smoke was coming out of the small chimney: someone was home.
Soon enough, Lucy's companions walked out of the portal with her, looking around, awed.
"So... so beautiful", Juvia let out, blinking.
"A bit weird, but I like it", Makoto ageed.
Greenie seemed very at home in the place... for the moment he got there, he headed over to the nearest tree with fruits and began stuffing himself with said fruits.

"Alright everyone, be peaceful, but cautious. We didn't come here to start a fight." She said moving to investigate the mushroom house.

"Sure thing", Max said with a smile. "Scouting only unless attacked. Got'cha."
Asshe approached the house, Tracy realized some... strange person... with a large mushroom top on their head... was watching them, curious. When he noticed that she was looking at him, he headed over to the door and opened it.
"Um... hello. May I be of some sort of assistance?"

"Yes... Please my friends and I are new to this area, and we were wondering if anyone here could tell us more about where we are?"

"Um... sure", the mushroom-wearing guy said, nodding. He walked out of his house and sat in the three stairs leading to his door.
"You're in the forest South-East of Toadstool City, where you'd find the Royal Castle, home to our beloved Princess Peach Toadstool, who rules over Mushroom Kingdom. The forest here is peaceful enough... except for the occasional wild animals. My name is Mike... I'm the forest ranger. If you follow the road to the North, you'll come across the house of local heroes, the Mario brothers, and either further on the road, or following the shorter east road, you'll get to Toadstool City no problem. Also... don't go further South-East unless you're armed and combat ready. It's full of wild beasts, and only leads to the aggressive Koopa Kingdom. You don't want anything to do with those guys if you can avoid them."
He smiled. "That's about the basics. Respect the forest, clean after your passage, hunt only what you need to eat unless you have a permit, and you'll be welcome here anytime. May I help you with anything else?"

No thanks, that will be all. Thanks for your help." She said before turning to the group. "Alright... I think our next destination should be Toadstool Castle." She said.

"No objections from me", Magneto said, nodding.
"Yeah, sure", Laxus agreed. "Doesn't seem like we're in any sort of risk whatsoever anyway. Are we looking for something in particular, or just looking around?"

Not really. We just have to introduce ourselves, and offer our services.

"Sounds good to me", Makoto said with a smile.
"Which road do we take, though?" Wan Chanzi asked, as Greenie ran around the group left and right, eating any fruit he could find in the trees.

(OOC: It really depends on whether or not you want to meet the Mario brothers or not. ^_^ North road leads to their house and then Toadstool city, while the shorter East road leads directly to the city in a bit less time.)

(OOC: No problem! ^_^)
The group made their way up the East road, heading straight towards Toadstool city, where Castle Toadstool stood. As they were making their way there, the group heard something coming from the forest, on the right side of the road... the cry of a child, it seemed. Someone in trouble?
"Did you guys hear that?" Makoto asked, frowning.

"Yeah... Let's go investigate." Lucy said taking off in the direction of the noise.
