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?

"You should stay indoors at night. It is very dangerous to be wandering around in the dark."
There's a silence.
Then slowly, shakily, Jeff nods his head. It feels forced and very stiff.

"Stars fall all over the world at night. They can be used for all sorts of useful things. If you see one, be sure to grab it because they disappear after sunrise."
"If you gather five fallen stars, they can be combined to create an item that will increase your magic capacity."
Jeff looks at her.

"Magic is a skill, that's like saying - increase our art history capacity, what the - I mean, sure, we'll keep an eye out for 'fallen stars', whatever the hell those are," says Holly.
"If you see one, be sure to grab it because they disappear after sunrise," reminds Jeff.
...... Very robotic head-shake. That would be a no, then.
Nod. "I am here to help."
Silence from Jeff! Apparently his feeble mind doesn't see anything else helpful to say at the moment.

Holly pats him on the head and goes out to see if she can find yet further improved metal.
Jeff makes no comment.
More metal can be found! None of it's better than what they've already got, though. Just repeats of what has already been found.

Well, that's annoying. Eventually they call it a day and try building a set of stairs out of the wood blocks to climb up and have a look at what's in the neighborhood. They keep an eye on that lazy slacker sun lest it disappear on them; they want to be near enough the house to duck into it if "night" happens.
The lazy slacker sun moves at a very predictable speed. So it's got that going for it.
The neighborhood has snow! Snow that starts very abruptly. There's a neat little line, actually. On one side, there's snow. On the other, there is forest.

Okaaaay.
That's weird.
...Holly reaches out, puts her hand on the snow, touches the forest floor, and tries to swap forestness and snowness between small areas. A block in size, say.
One becomes a grass block, the other becomes a snow block. That seems to work pretty well.

Okay. She puts them back. Good to know.
Fuck, this place is weird. Back up the stairs to peer around some more.

The bizarre snow area is still present.
And over thataway, is an area that looks... distinctly red.
