This was a bad idea this was a bad idea this was a bad idea.
Holly runs as fast as she can but the demon's faster. She has no idea where Lightning's gotten to; maybe he found a tree to climb. She on the other hand has been diverted into a treeless hill and she's careening down a slope, trying very hard not to trip.
And the demon's gaining on her.
She's never seen anything like it and neither has Crystal; maybe Book knows what it is but Book's asleep. It's mostly mouth - it looks like a cross between a floorlength mirror of a mouth and a snake to propel the mouth along.
And Holly's not fast enough.
The mouth catches her.
But it doesn't hurt.
Where are we?

Holly takes the bag. "What's this for? And if it's so dangerous how did you get here?"
"My name is Jeff. I'm your guide," he says, like it's the most obvious thing in the world.

"Right. When your cohabitor wakes up we will find out why he pitied you enough to move in together," snorts Holly. She looks in the bag.
Jeff doesn't have a reply to that.
There's a pickaxe, an axe, and a tiny shortsword in there. How nice?

"If you want to survive, you will need to create weapons and shelter. Start by chopping down trees and gathering wood."
"When you have enough wood, create a Workbench. This will allow you to create more complicated things, as long as you are standing close to it."
"You are in a forest."
"I'm your guide. In order for a room to be considered a home, it needs to have a door, chair, table, and a light source. Make sure the house has walls as well."

"...Do you want me to build you a house. Is this your extremely stupid way of asking me to build you a house."
"Two people will not live in the same home. Also, if their home is destroyed, they will look for a new place to live."

"Housedweller. Idiot housedweller. Why are you wandering around in the forest if you're such a housedweller?"
"I'm your guide."
inourhead
"You're a loony. Who's supposed to be looking after you? Look, will you fall asleep soon so we can talk to your cohabitor?"
Pause. "Two people will not live in the same home."

"Good luck with that. Ugh, something's going to eat you if we just wander off, won't it. I don't think I can build you an entire shelter before you're going to sleep, though."
"Start by chopping down trees and gathering wood," he advises, trying to be helpful.

"You should be kept on, like, a leash. I'm telling your cohabitor to put a leash on before he falls asleep in the future," says Holly, and she picks up the axe and takes a swing at a tree.
Chop, chop, chop -
That is not what a tree does when it is cut down. It does not disintegrate into cubes that rain down around her. Except this one is. There is a shower of tiny wooden cubes, some of them bumping into each other and disappearing before they hit the ground.
There isn't even a stump. Just tiny scattered cubes, and grass that looks like a tree wasn't even there in the first place.

What.
Do I think like I know???
But - but WHAT?
We're still in the demon this is a demon belly oh sunswallowing pit -
We are both still in our head and we can breathe and there's rabbits, okay, the - the guy had his soul partly eaten but we're still fine -
For now!
Holly stares at the cubes.
"What," she says aloud, in the unlikely event that the partially-eaten soul can help her.
"You can build a shelter by placing wood or other blocks in the world," says the assumed partially-eaten soul.
