We have all been gender flipped

The girl's eyes widen upon Chalk's picking a flower. "Oh, no no no no no. Not that. You are making a very bad mistake. Run. Away. Fast. NOW. Before the proprietor of the Garden gets back, HURRY! SHE WILL KILL YOU! THE PASSAGEWAY IS AT THE LAKE-" With that, the projection disappears into nothing.

[Nichi]

Penti arrives in the field, overhearing what the projection said as she ran up to Chalk. "I think we might want to run" she suggested

[Chocofreak13]

Chalk gives Penti a very calm look, continuing to chew his seeds, as he nods in the direction of a lake in the distance. Chalk starts towards it.

[Nichi]

Penti followed not far behind; taking in the scenery as she raced toward the lake

[Bella]

Boris is too busy eating to join the others in their freezer-hoping spacetime-traveling adventure. "I'll join you later," he calls with a full mouth, just after Penti-chan disappears into the box.

[NejinOniwa]

As the lake gets nearer, mist starts to obscure the area. Upon reaching the water, the air is so thick with mist that even breathing is somewhat difficult. From the rocky beach into the water (and into the cover of the mist) leads a path of flash-frozen ice, that surely would be steaming was the air not already very filled with moisture to the very brim. "Ah don' trust this ice ta' bear mah feet three feet," a familiar voice calls out from the mist. "Ya'll sure this 's a good idea? Ah mean, 's not ya'll who'll get stuck in this buckin' freezewater, s'all." Another (female) voice, slightly higher up, replies. "Of course I'm sure. I'm never NOT sure, y'now."

[Chocofreak13]

Chalk approaches, still chewing on his Sunflower.

[Nichi]

Penti arrives, wondering what to do next; as the area was silent and misty

[Chocofreak13]

Chalk mulls what to do, savoring some petals.

[Nichi]

"So...when is that girl doing to show up to point us in the right direction?" Penti said, confused as to why they're just standing around a misty lake without any further directions

[NejinOniwa]

As Penti speaks up, the voices in the mist react. "Hey! Whos'ere? An' ahm warnin' ya'll, ya best not try 'n sneak up on me 'r anythin' like that. Ahm havin' a real bad mornin', and that ain't makin' me no nicer." The other voice, however, says nothing, rather preferring to pop out of the mist right in front of them. "Heya!" A girl dressed in a large, black, pointy hat and a rather old-timey black dress with white frills and apron pops out of nowhere, hanging in the air a few feet above the pair's heads. "You're heading for the passageway, right? Might as well join blondie over there so we don't have to open it twice, don'tcha think?" She motions in the general direction of the ice path, and drops down a bit. She is riding a broom. "Follow me, I'll get ya over there." She starts hovering back into the mist, following the ice path. "Come on!"

[Chocofreak13]

Chalk follows the witch, still nomming his flower.

[Nichi]

Penti follows not bar behind; wishing she had brought her wooden sword, just in case

[Chocofreak13]

Chalk peers down at the water as we walks. He contemplates dipping a toe in, but all the mist is making him nervous of touching it. Instead, he removes a petal from his flower and drops it in the water.

[Nichi]

Penti stares at the petal; waiting for something exciting to happen
