Chapter 1 Part 1
As Cass got closer to the town, he noticed someone near a bridge. He started running towards them, but she looked kind of worried about him for some reason. Cass looked confused. “Is everything ok?” The stranger pointed behind him calmly. Cass looked back and yelped. There was a monster behind him that was some kind of one eyed mishmash of a crab and a traffic cone. “W-What is that?!” The stranger walked next to him and smiled. “It’s called a Traffikrab. They can be pretty ornery when they first wake up.” Cass looked at the Traffikrab as it growled towards him. “Well… what should I do to get it away from me?” “You’ll need these.” She handed him a cassette recorder and some headphones. “...No offense, but how is this supposed to help exactly?” She smiled and handed him two tapes. One had a spookier aesthetic, while the other had a sweeter aesthetic. “Pick one and put it in the player. It’ll help with that Traffikrab.” Cass looked at the tapes, and decided to put the sweet themed one in the player. Then, he felt a bright light wash over him.
When he opened his eyes, something felt different. He was some kind of… candy devil? Cass started panicking internally. “What’s happening?! What… am I?! Am I still me, or a-am I just a monster now?!” The stranger looked over and smiled. “Hey, it’s ok. Just… breathe in and out. It was weird the first time I turned into a monster too.” Cass nodded, and breathed in and out a few times. “I feel a bit calmer now. Thanks.” The stranger smiled. “Good to hear. My name’s Kayleigh by the way.” Kayleigh put her tape into a cassette player and transformed into a bat-like creature with a microphone. “Now, let’s send this crab back to sea!” Kayleigh sent a blast of air at the Traffikrab, sending it flying into the air. “Now it’s your turn!” Cass looked worried. “W-Wait, how am I supposed to attack it?!” Kayleigh shrugged. “Use your imagination!”
Cass thought about it for a few moments and got an idea. He put his hands together and made a ball of candy, and then aimed it at the Traffikrab. “Eat this!” He sent it flying towards the Traffikrab, hitting it and sending it back into the ocean. Cass looked happy. “I did it… I did it!” He felt the light from before wash over him as he turned back to normal. Cass looked over at Kayleigh and smiled. “Hey… thanks for the help. I appreciate it!” She smiled back. “No problem, uh… I haven’t even asked your name, have I?” Cass reached his hand out for a handshake. “My name is Cass!” Kayleigh shook his hand. “Cass... why does that name feel familiar to me?" Kayleigh shrugged it off. "Well, I should show you around the town, there’s more that you’d probably like to see!” Cass looked slightly nervous. He wasn’t really sure what this strange new world would be like, or if his memories were adding up. It felt like he'd been here before, and at the same time... it didn't? He shook off his thoughts. "D-Don't worry about that for now. Just focus on going through the town and meeting some other nice people! I-It'll be just fine, right?!"
"...Right?"
So this is about all I've written so far! To be specific, this and the prologue were pretty much just edited for errors, lore inconsistencies, etc. From now on, I'm gonna have to write this along with my playthough
