So. Remember where we left off last time?

Yeah. So, it wasn’t anything dirty, really. Mr. Crusoe (Robinson) pulls me on shore, tells me how he’s been living on the island for 28 years all alone, but that he can help me get off the island to one of the neighboring islands. How nice of him. First, though, I take the time to run around the island, breaking up some boxes and looting their contents (I mean, the ship’s sunk, it’s not stealing, right?). I find:

• 8 Chocolate
• 12 Gum
• 12 Yoghurt Drink

Then I take Robinson’s raft out of the small treasure chest behind him (no, it’s not inflatable!) and sail off toward the neighboring island.

We arrive on shore to find… wow, this must be a popular fishing spot! The raft is destroyed (probably by all the fishing hooks that got in it on the way.) Well, now we’re out into the real world. Let’s move on.

Aww, a monkey! I click on it. I mean, why not? Cheep cheep cheep~ and it falls to the ground.

“Monkey, are you OK?”

(revive the monkey)

“Cheep cheep~~ cheep cheep cheep ~ Cheep!!”

“Ok, you have regained consciousness. Be careful! Monkey.”

I walk away. The monkey follows.

” . . . . . . .  ??”

A few steps. It follows again.

“Oh? Why are you following me? I don’t have anything to eat, so don’t follow me! Just stay back!”

… aww, it’s even on its little monkey knees.

“Oh? It seems that you have mistaken me for your mum?”

“Cheep cheep~ (nodding)”

“Do I look like Female Monkey? How annoying! Ah! That’s OK. It’s better to have one than none.”

“Peep peep peep!”

… wait, monkeys peep? Anyway, the monkey joins my team.

This is the beginning of a great trend of slavery . . . I mean, friendship. Like many free MMOs, Wonderland is centered on pets. You can have two active pets at any time: one to battle with, and one to ride. And, as far as I can tell, the game does not distinguish between which is appropriate for which. That’s right, my little monkey friend here can carry me on his head.

Ridiculous. Well, every pet needs a name, so I name my new monkey friend EhSteve. And now, EhSteve and I shall explore this island together!
