You're roaming around the Enchanted Forest... so far, this place is giving you the creeps - you swear you can hear voices from somewhere, although all you see is a river, trees and the occasional squirrel or two. You make a right, venturing into the darkness, and you find an 8 year old boy hanging out with other wild animals - a fox, a mouse, an owl and an alligator. They seem to be doing math.
Ben: looks up "Oh, hi there, new friend! We're the Counting Squad!" Fox: sways her tail around Ben, motherly protective of him "Oh, a newbie. Welcome to our cave, I guess. Just don't hurt the youngin." Mouse: "Don't be rude, Fox!" turns to you "Sorry about her, she can be a bit... demanding when it comes to newbies." Owl: writing down digits in the wall with a stick, whistling. Slater: bathing in a lake in the back of the cave, in an Aussie accent "Hey, mate! Owl, wontcha go ahead and give the new kid a greeting?"
