Upon reaching, uh, wherever this is, we are immediately accosted by three Blue Imps who want the pile of clocks that just appeared. Blue Imps are the cannon fodder of Chrono Trigger. They goblin punch you, which involves a knee to the groin.
One of the Imps is riding on a Roly. The other one is currently giving Crono a knee to the crotch.
Rolies... hmm, how would you pluralize Roly anyway? Well, they're also very basic enemies which do nothing more than wheel into you when they're not getting abused by their Blue Imp overlords.
Yeah, that's always a good idea. If you manage to make it to the final boss with only your wooden sword and mighty pea shooter to smite evil, please tell me of your exploits.
The Queen was last seen at the Cathedral to the west; however, they found her in the mountains to the east, and, uh, does anyone else see something wrong with this? The answer (in game) is NO.
This is an indication that you're clearly in the past, in case you didn't pay attention to the guy who said "It's 600 AD! Gleesh, don't you know ANYTHING?"
This means you're the third non-Brazilian person to travel through time.
For some reason, the Nintendo Power Players Guide claims that Banta is Lucca's grandfather, but Nintendo Power also claims that Rydia wears orange clothes and M.C. Hammer pants. They may be related, but the 400 year gap means they're more distant than that.
Well, you can't go anywhere.
The Green Imp is mocking you after he kicked a rock at your crotch! You shouldn't have to take that! Sword his ass!
Roly Riders can kick their steeds into you and ignore various physical laws. Since Lucca isn't around to explain elementary Newtonian mechanics and make the green imps fall on their duffs, you'll have to sword them.
They had stamps back then?
Doesn't the Queen look familiar?
And I thought the Romans had something like iced cream, and the Chinese had it 3000 years ago.
Yeah, it smells like blue.
Well, if it isn't a lecture on not changing history from Miss I'm My Own Grandma.
Good news, everybody! It's my latest invention. I used a microwave and combined the radiation with the gravitons and graviolis from the time gate that Marle opened with her pendant... hey, where's Marle?
You get this explanation.
Yeah, except she was in a completely different location. Nobody finds that suspicious.
And the imp makes fun of you and there's nothing you can do. If you want, you can eat to heal up for free, but since this is 600, they don't have soylent green, soylent orange, or soylent cole slaw, just a croque monsieur, paella, two mutton pills, and a skein of mead. The first of those, I can not spell, as it is French. It translates to Mr. Crispy, though, and it looks gleesh.
