Be Beholden to Us
Hinterlands
Sebek
LORD MALLEUS! ET AL.! I FOUND SOMETHING STRANGE!
Jamil
Are all the rest of us getting branded collectively as "et al."?
Malleus
What did you find?
Sebek
It is this!
Idia
Th-These are...trees with paintings on them?
Trey
No, aren't they doors?
Vil
There are doors on the trees. There isn't just one or two trees with them, but several. Plus, all of the doors have different shapes.
Epel
I've never seen trees like these. It's kind of eerie...
Trey
Epel, you shouldn't get too close to them. All of you too, be careful. There's no telling what may happen.
Jade
Right? Allow me to open this pumpkin-shaped door as a test.
*Kachuck!*
Epel
It opened so easily!
Riddle
Stop being reckless!
Jade
...Ah, how disappointing. Nothing is actually coming out. All that is inside is pitch black darkness.
Trey
You seriously opened it precisely because you thought that something would come out...?
*Zoom in*
Skully
I see. There appears to be a space underneath it, but I'm afraid I cannot see where it ends. Where is this connected to, I wonder?
If only we had any means of verifying what is contained inside...
*Wind blowing*
Skully
Whoa?! A gust of wind has...!
I-I'm falling! Someone help me, please!
*Grab!*
Grim
Fnagh?! Don't grab onto my tail!
Oh no no no... Yuu, help meee!
*Grab!*
*Grab!*
Sebek
What?!
*Grab!*
Leona
What are you doing?!
*Grab!*
Jamil
Wait, what the?!
Whoa whoa whu-...
AAHHHHHHH!
Epel & Jade
…
Jade
...Yuu and the rest ended up falling into the door while they were all linked to each other.
Vil
So, what do we do? Ignore them?
Idia
I vote yes.
Azul
No, we should help them so they will be beholden to us in this case.
Riddle
We can't possibly have anyone go missing right before our very eyes when we have this many dorm leaders present, can we?
Malleus
Yeah. Let's all enter this pumpkin door.
AAHHHHHHH!
Skully
Oof... That hurts...
Oh, to stumble and fall because of the wind... How utterly careless of me. Such humiliation!
Grim
That's no carelessness! You dragged me into your mess!

Sebek
That's my line! Of course I'd be surprised at having my stole pulled all of a sudden!
Sebek
It was my stole! Kuh! It was so sudden I didn't expect it so I couldn't react appropriately...
Sebek
Good grief. And to think that I made Lord Malleus witness my disgraceful conduct...
Leona
You li'l... Thanks to you I got dragged into this too!
Jamil
Do you really think you're one to talk? Reflect on what you did!
Skully
Hm...?
!!!
Skully
Th-That spiral hill... I have seen it so many times before in drawings... Don't tell me...
No, that is preposterous. B-But...!
Jamil
Hmm? Skully, do you know anything about this place?
Trey
Ah, there they are! Were y'all alright?
Sebek
Lord Malleus! Et al.!
You came to search for us? The fact that we made Lord Malleus come this way instead... I sincerely apologise.
Malleus
It's fine. I'm glad to see you're safe.
Jamil
Did you all follow us and enter that door with the pumpkin drawing?
Trey
Yeah. We couldn't possibly lose each other at a place like that anyway.
Azul
I was so very worried about everyone's safety that I just couldn't bear to sit by and do nothing...
Leona
Hey Octo-bastard, would it kill you to not lie at every possible chance?
Riddle
Who could've imagined that the door would lead to such a peculiar space?
It's even darker than the forest from earlier, yes? Is this...a cemetery?
Jamil
No idea. Skully seemed like he knew something about it, but...
???
My, oh my?
There appears to be visitors we have never before greeted, Zero.
Leona, Sebek, & Jamil
