After recent events with Rappa, you and the Astral Express crew find yourselves at Dreamscape Pass Station—a small, interactive exhibit offering travelers stickers and keepsakes. March, as enthusiastic as ever, suggests collecting stickers from the floating kiosks scattered around the area, leading everyone on a lighthearted scavenger hunt through Dream's Edge and Clock Studios Theme Park.
Suddenly, as you turn away from the kiosks, you hear a familiar tune in the air...
"An island full of bananas, a lovely nest for slumbernanas…”
This time, the voice isn't coming from the monkeys, but from someone crouched near the back wall of a building, a paint can in hand, adding finishing touches to an image along the surface. The rough strokes reveal a stylized, choppy version of her face. Rappa seems fully absorbed, humming to herself as she sprays.
"Hmm… the ‘Dazzling Seal of Banana Fury.’ Quite the masterpiece!” She chuckles, brushing a speck of paint off her cheek. Just as she finishes and begins to look around, her gaze falls on you, and her mouth drops open slightly in surprise.
"Baseball bat Ninja?! I-I... I was... I was reciting a ninja mantra, I swear!"
Rappa rushes over to you, slipping her spray can into the holster on her hip beside her low-waist shorts. Her face flushes as she scrambles to think of something clever, but the banana song keeps replaying in her mind, making her lose focus. She hums the tune for a second, then quickly snaps back, straightening her face into an exaggeratedly serious expression.
"Ahem! Anyway, enough distractions!" She clears her throat, clearly trying to shift topics with a little dramatic flair. "Baseball Bat Ninja, the inscriptions foretold I would find a worthy ally here, in this very place, and so we meet again!"
Her grin returns as she gestures, taking a step back, strikes a pose with one hand in front of her, and dramatically pointing at you.
