SIR DANIEL FORTESQUE

Winston looked at the set of papers lying there. "So, what exactly are we doing with these? We're just answering questions of the sort for now?" The little ghost seemed very unsure of what they were ordered to do, as the alien had left.

"It seems like they want to know, like some sort of nosy cat— which, I am allergic to! But, I have no allergies to people, so this is fine by my standards!" Al Zalam replied, before shouting. "Daniel! We need you for these ones! We're talking to the players and readers!"

Sir Daniel came into the room, looking at two of his partners, that seemed to have been getting along well. "We're answering some questions, and a few of them involve you, chap! You don't mind, right?" Winston asked, in which Daniel responded by smiling as he came over.

Question 1: "How are Daniel and Winston still here for this? Shouldn't they be resting?"

"What a way to start it off, with meta-humor! Which I am very good at! The answer is… Don't think about it too hard! The same applies to Mander and Dogman, who aren't in their human forms this time around when we get to them. Maybe this takes place before the final battle? But then why am I here? Who knows! Maybe it's an in-between event! Or maybe it's not 'canon' as you people call it!"

Both Winston and Sir Daniel blinked in unison. "Er… Did you understand any of that?" Daniel mumbled.

"No…" Winston sighed. "Genies are so whimsical. I don't think any of us will get them."

Question 2: "Is it annoying there are less chalices than the previous adventure Daniel? Because that means less equipment, doesn't it?"

Daniel took a moment, before shaking his head. "Not really. It means less stuff to carry around. At least the weapons have their uses, and pack more punch this time around. Either that, or all of the hostile creatures I ran into were weaker than last time. Besides, I didn't really miss out on the best items to have! The axe, magic sword, hammer, bows, shields… And those new stuff as bonus kind of."

Chuckling, Al grabbed the next sheet. "I know a certain amazon who won't be happy that her weapon was replaced with guns and a lance." He said to himself.

Question 3: "In a manner of saying which one you like more… Both Princess Kiya and Hesperia Planum are in danger, but you can only save one! Which one do you choose to save?"

He scowled a bit. "That's a terrible thing to ask! First off, I already was too late to save Kiya once, and refuse to make that mistake again! Secondly, the Spi— I mean, Monty would be devastated if I didn't rescue Planum, because he thought she was already dead before all this!… I would sooner give myself up if it meant their safety!" Winston smiled at the response, while Al had a surprised look on him.

"If you said something like this a couple hundred years ago, I'd have a shred of doubt, but right now I can tell you're sincere about that. But over the two, which one do you enjoy being around more?"

Sir Daniel just rolled a single eye at the genie. "That isn't one of the questions in there, now is it?" He then gave a rather smug expression, knowing he defeated Al Zalam on that one, before he pulled out a sheet while the genie was distracted. "Oh! Here's a good one, on the subject of choices!"

Question 4: "Who's a better partner to you? Winston, or Al Zalam?"

Al flinched at it, while Winston felt his attention grabbed again. "Quite a simple choice, Winston. Between him helping during the final battle, and being an all-around optimistic child! Sorry Al, but I found myself enjoying his company and assistance more." The genie puffed up his cheeks, pouting.

"Now that is just unfair! You've spent more time with him than me recently! Remember who it was that pulled you out of Zarok's lair, when it was collapsing like standing dominos?! Had you been stuck in there, and you would have been unable to have a second adventure at all, because you would be buried like any other corpse!"

Winston cleared his ghastly throat. "I think snapping back isn't going to help in your case. Daniel didn't say you were bad, he just liked me more personally. You're still good, ol' chap!" Al Zalam then tried to push Daniel away from the sheets of paper, pulling one out from the stack.

Question 5: "If you had to go against a coldblooded colonel from another time that had a very heavy arsenal, and showed no mercy as he was now your rival, how would you react?"

He gulped at the thought. "Then I would instantly say that only Hamis is allowed to be my rival! That would get me out of that sort of fight, wouldn't it?… At least he seems easier to reason with than what was just suggested!" Al Zalam began laughing, while looking for another question in the paper.

"Ah c'mon Daniel! It's not like they asked you to go against a psychotic clown, a god of war, or some demon hunter… Let's see, here's one more!"

Question 6: "Were you really not aware there was a page of Zarok's spell-book in your armor this whole time?"

This time, all Daniel could do was give a nervous chuckle in response. "No, I really didn't. I do not know what archeologists were thinking, putting it in me so it would not be in the grasp of someone power-hungry like Palethorn… But honestly! That could have backfired badly if the Soul Demon was really contained in there!" He shuddered, as if he experienced something related to it all.

"Hm… Should we end it off on a higher note maybe?" Winston flipped through the pages, which were mostly directed at the others, until he found one for Daniel.

Question 7: "How would you settle in another different time period in the future?"

This took a while to think on. "As long as I had a guide similar to Winston and the professor, I think I could handle myself. It would still surprise me, if the future is what Planum says. She told me that a lot of things change! Like these… 'P-S Fours'? It was strange, but she was carrying around something called a 'Veeta'… And she was playing something related to the planet Neptune? I didn't get it."

Winston then shrugged lightly. "It doesn't help that due to her jumbled speech, she probably described it incorrectly… Oh well, that's all we have for you, Daniel! Sorry to bother you with this! But it only made sense to start with you first!" Al Zalam kept a sour face however, clearly envious of how it the ghost was openly preferred as a companion.

"It's fine!… Al stop taking it so badly, you're just making yourself look immature compared to the actual child I was around the whole time…"

PRINCESS KIYA

Princess Kiya walked over to the pair. "What are you two even doing?" She asked, as Winston's face instantly lit up.

"Oh! Kiya, your timing is perfect! I was actually going to ask if you were around to answer these for us!" The mummified princess just paused, while Winston sorted some of the paper. "We're answering questions that players and readers may still have! Some of them are for you, of course!"

She felt like there was no other choice but to humor them. Not that Kiya minded this, she was curious at what people were wondering about through the whole thing, especially if it involved her, to an extent.

Question 1: "If you could, would you get revenge at the man chose you as his fiancé, if it turned out he was undead too?"

This piqued Kiya quite a bit. "I actually forgot I'm in the body of an Egyptian princess, I won't lie. Though, if that jerk was trying to take my hand in marriage again by some means? Yes, I would fight him for it, for the sake of the poor girl who was forced to be buried with him as some 'journey to the afterlife' nonsense." Winston nodded in agreement, having nothing to say on that matter.

Question 2: "The brain in you knew Madame Jo-Jo, were you good friends?"

"Yes actually. I believe I knew her. I didn't really like her business, since it… Attracted certain kinds of people, but she was a good person, and we knew each other even as children. Unfortunately, my memory is foggy a bit even since the Ripper had killed my original body, and then I got transplanted. He assumed that just because we were hanging out, that I was one from Jo-Jo's club. I wonder how gravely mistaken he feels, that purifying freak!"

Al Zalam scratched his head. "I must have missed out on details, what was this about? Though, this is what happens when I'm absent for over a vast majority of the adventure and don't show up until the very end." Winston then flipped through more pages.

"I'll fill you in later, Al, though, some of these sheets tell me that at some point it will be answered for you." He then pulled out the next paper.

Question 3: "With you in control for those little moments throughout the story, can we assume there would be an adventure with you as the protagonist? How would you feel about it?"

Kiya paused, not understanding. "Ah, they mean if you were the heroine and the main focus to save something, instead of Daniel! No one can really predict that sort of thing, because no one is a fortune-teller!" Al Zalam explained.

"I wouldn't mind being more than what people may see me as for the 'princess' title and body I'm in. Problem is, while I'm more quick on my feet despite my rotting body, I'm not as strong as Daniel, so I do not know how I would fair." Kiya then looked at her pouch containing daggers, knowing it had helped her before, and probably could again, along with new weapons if she was able to carry them.

Question 4: "How come you knew about the Anubis Stone?"

"Honestly, part of me did, but another didn't. It was as if the body I'm in was so drawn to it, once it had all the pieces formed into its original state. Maybe a portion of the original Princess Kiya returned, as if attempting to assist in that small moment?… Or is that too odd? Either way, by myself, I wouldn't have known its use."

This actually got Winston thinking as well. "Maybe there's some weird backstory regarding the Anubis Stone that we don't know about, other than Zarok using it at some point and the pieces being split to keep it out of hands?" Al Zalam, surprisingly, didn't seem to know much of an answer either, mainly because Death had a bit more knowledge on the stone than him.

Question 5: "What are your thoughts on the others? Kift, Winston, Monty, Planum, Hamis, Mander and Dogman respectively?"

She couldn't help but groan at the latter three that were mentioned. "Kift is a good man, but I feel bad for him a lot. He needs to stop putting himself down!… Winston is a good boy, but he's around Daniel more than me, so it's a little difficult to form an opinion. Monty is a strange man, but he's very reasonable despite his former, shady job as a spiv.

"I don't know how to feel about Planum, other than I find her experiments creepy, and have a feeling she thinks fondly of Daniel when he's near her. Hamis is annoying, plain and simple. He keeps trying to pick fights with Daniel, and doesn't care about the rest of us, yet I can't hate him for some odd reason… Mander, I dislike. He keeps trying to flirt with me, and I hate it! Dogman is what he is, and genuinely alright, even if not too intelligent."

Al Zalam then took over for Winston, who was focused on paying attention to Kiya. "Hm, I was actually wondering how you all were getting along when Daniel and I weren't in the picture. I suppose that answers it… I won't be surprised if they get a similar question." The young ghost said, while Al looked over the next question.

Question 6: "If you're technically just in Kiya's body, but have a different brain and memories, why do you refer to yourself as Kiya?"

"This is really embarrassing, but… I don't remember my name before the Ripper killed me. I can only recall some moments before it happened. I suppose my name was just something I didn't think about, especially in my sudden death. Even then, Kiya is a nicer name to have for now, I'm sure my original name wasn't as nice." Kiya then giggled to herself.

Question 7: "How come you take your mummified form in the Hall of Heroes ending, shouldn't you be in your original form or spirit, rather than a corpse? Especially when Winston turns back into a young boy there."

All Kiya could do was shrug lightly. "Probably the same reason Daniel remains a skeleton. It's best to keep things a mystery as to what we originally looked like, whether it be when I had a different body, or when Daniel was alive. Winston, we technically know the appearance of, despite his spectral appearance when he's down here with the living." Al Zalam took this as another chance at meta-humor.

"Once again, don't think about it too hard! What Daniel and Kiya may have looked like before being killed, is up to your interpretation!… Or at least until the writer says something, which I doubt she will, right? But for now, i looks like that's it for you right now, princess."

She gave a soft smile. "It wasn't a problem, I had nothing else to do really. Let me know if you need me again for something like this… As long as the lizard isn't involved." With that, Kiya took her leave.

((I think this will be done in pairs for the most part, it only makes sense…))
