You, Vanadi, Coral, and Team RWBY overlooks the whimsical land from the precipice.

Yang: So are we gonna just stand around thinking about this in silence? Or...?

Ruby: I knew this place is weird, but a fairy tale? I mean that's impossible.

Vanadi: Hey, we're in a land where there's two suns.

Coral: And cheese plants. Anything is possible from here on out.

Little nods. Blake clears her throat. Ruby and Little look at Blake pointing her finger at Little. Ruby gives a sweat drop. You on the other hand, just keep on walking, resisting the urges to get lost in your mind after what you did at the Schnee Manor.

Weiss: What we've seen is improbable, but that doesn't mean we're in an actual fairy tale. Are we seriously entertaining this?

Yang: Do you have a better explanation for what's going on?

Weiss: Well, let's try to be more logical, shall we? We fell from the sky, Koamaru is still trying to find us, Ruby and Y/N made friends with a tiny mouse-

Coral: A mouse that talks by the way, Weiss.

Weiss: Right, Coral. Blake and I got caught by killer vines, (looks at Yang) and uh... you got your arm stolen by a... What was it that you said?

Yang: (the same tired tone from before) A talking raccoon riding on a purple wagon filled with trash.

Weiss blinks at Yang's predicament.

Weiss: Yes, that. Okay, I see your point of view. I am going to go over here now.

Weiss walks away, she starts to talk nonsense to herself as she tries to grapple with the team's current situation.

Vanadi: I'm gonna pinch myself. And pray that I wake up in Vacuo with everyone else in our group.

Y/N: Don't-

Vanadi pinches himself as hard as he can, emitting a yelp from his arm.

Y/N: ...do that.

Vanadi opens his eyes, seeing that he's still in the Ever After.

Vanadi: This is how I die, folks. Stuck in candy land of all places.

Ruby walks up to Vanadi, tapping his shoulder. Vanadi looks at her.

Ruby: As crazy as it sounds, something about this is familiar.

Vanadi: What, seeing big ass lollypops as far as the eye can see?

Blake: The Girl Who Fell Through the World. I... I think we're in the Ever After.

Y/N: Right, that story. Mom used to read it to me and my siblings one time. Couldn't sleep for days.

Vanadi shudders.

Vanadi: Good job on recalling your childhood, man.

Weiss: Blake, that world is make-believe. It was just part of the story we all read as kids.

Coral: I never heard of it. Not once. It truly is just make-believe.

Little pops up from Ruby's cape, causing you all to look at him.

Little: It's not make-believe, it's where I live!

Blake: Can you tell us all about it? Have you ever heard the name Alyx?

Little: An "Alyx"? Is that a purpose?

Blake: In the story, Alyx fell from the sky and met with the Hunter Mice, got trapped in vines, fought a Jabberwalker, and got her knife stolen by... A talking raccoon.
