Then, once that's done, since I'm stealthy we've decided it'd be best for me to hide out in the school shed and find out who's been hanging around there at night for Willow's Quest.
(Handling in two posts!)

Howdy. Oh don't look at me̒ͤ͊̐͊̈̾̓́͗̒͐̉͐҉͚̭̗̤͕̟̙̻̮̀ like that! Trust me, this cọ̢̨̣̟̳̤̝̋̊̀ͩ̉ͧ͘͞uld have turn̴̯͙̩̭͎͖̠̻͐͊̓̈́͛ͮ͗̐͜͞ed out M͖̦̱U̮̳̖̟̻̼ͅC҉̥H̲̝̼͚̺͈ worse for you! See details below.

You grab Willow's key and w͓̙̝̫̘a̺̘̭͜s̲̟̭͎̘t͎e̤͕̤̱̞̠̤͠ some more of the te̒ͤ͊̐͊̈̾̓́͗̒͐̉͐҉͚̭̗̤͕̟̙̻̮̀am's hard-earned cash on an Adrenaline Orb. But that's okay, no need to save that money for things you might actually need later! You know, like Equipment, materials, Enigma Berries for the devastating Stalker battles to cọ̢̨̣̟̳̤̝̋̊̀ͩ̉ͧ͘͞me... oh my god, I'm actually givin̴̯͙̩̭͎͖̠̻͐͊̓̈́͛ͮ͗̐͜͞g you guys hints! My apologies, no more of that!

Anyway, you he̒ͤ͊̐͊̈̾̓́͗̒͐̉͐҉͚̭̗̤͕̟̙̻̮̀ad down to the Mercenary Guild and sneak in again because their security sucks. I mean heck, I come and go as I please, too. I mean look, it's an Alolan Raichu with his Charizard friend standing guard. Yes, I'm forcing Charizard down̴̯͙̩̭͎͖̠̻͐͊̓̈́͛ͮ͗̐͜͞ your throat too! They loọ̢̨̣̟̳̤̝̋̊̀ͩ̉ͧ͘͞k at you, you wave, and you cruise on by! They're idiots.

You head inside and then go back toward that creepy Heavy Gate that everyone likes to go to. As you walk down those not-so-home̒ͤ͊̐͊̈̾̓́͗̒͐̉͐҉͚̭̗̤͕̟̙̻̮̀y hallways where they didn't even hang cutesy still life pictures on the wall, you see the lights get dimmer again and yọ̢̨̣̟̳̤̝̋̊̀ͩ̉ͧ͘͞u feel the caressing shadows again, getting taste sample spoons for your soul!

Madder en̂̑͌ͮ̇̄ͦ̀͞҉͇̞̳̫͈͍̤̭̝̬͓͖̫̤̪ͅjoys the fuzzy feeling of 2 po̵͋̄͆̊͑̿́̉ͥ̽͊ͨ̓̃̎͆҉̜̥̮̤̭̼̪̳̣̪̫͚̹ints of Purity damage!

A market research repọ̢̨̣̟̳̤̝̋̊̀ͩ̉ͧ͘͞rt says your soul tastes like leftover mozzarella from Applebee's that were left sitting in the fridge for too long. Only two out of five stars.

Oh, it gets b̵ͥ̿͆͂ͩ̈̎ͣ͂҉̶̱͙̺͚̰̤̭̹̹̻͘ḛ̴̵̶̱̙̰͕̞̯̑ͪ̋̂͒̐ͭ̌̿̏ͮ̀͡ͅͅ ͚t̴̸͇̮̼͈̩̮͖͈̟̜ͤ̃̇͂ͯ̊ͣͬ̓̈́ͯ̕͟͞t̵̢̜͍͔͉̗̳̩̄ͥͯͫ̏̎̕è̉̉̏ ̨͐͛ͨ͒͗̐ͯͫ̅̀͘͏̜̺̩̥̹͉̗r̛̛̠͎̣̙̘̹̺̣̦̅͒͌ͫ̍͋͢ͅ.

So you head down toward where your buń̸̷̩̥̯̠̪̪̳̪̹̭̠̺̝̼̒ͫ̑̃̈́̈̑̓ͥ̿̋͐̒͋ͦ̾͜͡ny friend came before, and you head to the Beguiling Tunnel on the right hand side. Well, unlike her, who almost got forevę̸̷̻̤̬̃̾ͥ̂͗ͤ͂ͩͯ̆͛̔́ͩͭ̆̊̂̚̕r lost in Neverland (I mean come on, that wơ̶̳͍̰̖̺̤̤͍̼͆̋͂ͥ͛ͨ̿͆uld have been funny), you recognize it for the S̞̯͚̞̰ͨ̀ͪͮͧͬ͐̏ͮͧ̌̍̒̆͊ͮ̓̃H̜̺͖̳͙̲͚̖̥͙̐̈ͧ̓͐͌ͫ̇̒̋͆A̎̉͗ ̭̪̪̙̤̩̯̜͖͉͔͇̗͔̮̩̜̭ͤ̎ͣ͋ͭͨ̄ͮ̅M͎̜̗̤͉̳̩̦̘̘ͭ̿ͤ̈́ͫͥ͂̒̃ͮ̿̏ ̥̜̜̝͙̗̞̼ that it really is and don't fall for its colorful allure and that juń̸̷̩̥̯̠̪̪̳̪̹̭̠̺̝̼̒ͫ̑̃̈́̈̑̓ͥ̿̋͐̒͋ͦ̾͜͡k. Nah, you just get all pixie-like and BLAST THAT CRAP back toward the pinky snot-hose hole it came from where... nah, that's enough. You killjoy everything like the colorful fireworks, the stars, the rainbows, the red balloons, pink hearts, orange stars, yellow mooń̸̷̩̥̯̠̪̪̳̪̹̭̠̺̝̼̒ͫ̑̃̈́̈̑̓ͥ̿̋͐̒͋ͦ̾͜͡s, green clovers, blue diamonds, and purple hơ̶̳͍̰̖̺̤̤͍̼͆̋͂ͥ͛ͨ̿͆rseshoes YES, I REMEMBER HOW LUCKY CHARMS WAS BEFORE ALL THE GIMMICK NONSENSE STARTED!

It all clears up and now the tunnel doesn't drive anyone who walks down into it forever into an unending loop! So you waddle your way down and you find yourself in a very dark chamber, and the end, there's an old woơ̶̳͍̰̖̺̤̤͍̼͆̋͂ͥ͛ͨ̿͆den door with a number of holę̸̷̻̤̬̃̾ͥ̂͗ͤ͂ͩͯ̆͛̔́ͩͭ̆̊̂̚̕s in it and splinters all over the stone floor like someone's been shooting bullets into this thing for funsies. Sure, go on and see what's inside just waiting for you! You grab the rusted handle, swing it ơ̶̳͍̰̖̺̤̤͍̼͆̋͂ͥ͛ͨ̿͆pen with squeaky rusty noise shrieks, and walk inside!

And then̶̨̞͉̖̭̙̭͉̯̘̣͍͇̜̬̍̅̉̐̂͑̑ͦ you hear a click and something swiftly dashing thrơ̶̳͍̰̖̺̤̤͍̼͆̋͂ͥ͛ͨ̿͆ugh the air!
