I’m ready!

(Okay! So quick background, your character can already live in this place for as long as they've known, know about this place and have traveled here, or like Victoria, was in ther own worled, but somehow arrive in this world. Have your characters sort of nearby to where Victoria is.)
Victoria hummed softly to herself a Beethoven piece she was going to play for her recital next week, her eyes closed, completely immersed in the music. A little while later, a cold breeze swept over her, and she opened her eyes, quieting. Her jaw hung open, as she saw in front of her, not a tree trunk like she expected, but a mushroom stem. It was like a giant mushroom, and she could see the grooves inside the stem. Where am I? she thought.

(Just to clarify, Victoria is staring at a tree/mushroom, right? Not leaning on one?)

Rocco lounged on top of a mushroom, arm dangling off as he stared at the scenery in front of him. Half asleep and dozing off, Rocco was in no state of mind to acutely judge anything happening in front of him. I should get more sleep, I feel like a corpse. He yawned, picking at the cap he was laying on.

Rin walked through an odd forest she had just appeared in. Instead of trees she saw brightly colored mushrooms everywhere. "Theres no way this real, not at all." She muttered to herself and rubbed her eyes, "Am I drunk? I don't remember drinking at all." She tentatively touched a mushroom and was surprised by the real texture of a mushroom. "Ah shit. Where am I?" She began to angrily mutter to herself, "This is so stupid, I didn't ask to leave my house, mushroom trees I thought were only like in Mario or something…"

Rocco lay sprawled out on top of his mushroom, watching the area below him blankly. He would've gotten down at some point, but.. nah. Too much work right now. He could very vaguely hear something like a voice, but he shrugged it off as him hearing things- after all, he was way too tired to clearly pick out any words, so it wouldn't have mattered if it was a voice or not. Is that a voice or not? Fuck it, I'm gonna ask. If it's not, then nobody's hearin' me make a clown outta myself. Rocco sighed, clearing his throat. "Hey, anyone there? Somebody talkin'? 'Cause I can't hear any real English or nothin', but I'm hearin' something."

Rin stared at the mushroom where a voice had come from, "Maybe I am drunk..or high…" she sighed, "Because I don't think mushrooms talk…Who the bell are you, talking mushroom?! And why am I here?!" Rin shouted, Wait…someone could actually be up there…oh no…I've made a fool of myself or maybe not. she thought.

"Talking mushroom? What the hell are you on?" Rocco poked his head off the edge, squinting down at Rin. "And "why am I here?" Well damn, I don't know! Didn't you like.. walk in here or somethin'? Like a normal human?" He hopped down from the mushroom, his tall form looking almost like he was sent through a taffy puller. "Talking mushroom… And here I was thinking I needed more sleep."

Victoria heard voices nearby, and looked around, curiously. To her surprise, she saw a thin, curvy woman around her age with dark brown shoulder-length hair with bangs, and lightly tanned skin. "Hello," she offered, brushing her hair back behind her shoulders and raising a hand as an addition motion. "What's going on over here?"

Rin was about to yell back at the man on the mushroom but a girl she heard someone else speak. A girl, about her age. “There’s a mushroom man!” She yelled unsure what else to say, “I swear I’m not high!” She turned back to the mushroom, “I didn’t walk in here! I just appeared!”

She struggled to contain a giggle. "A mushroom man you say?" Victoria wasn't able to hold in her laughter for long. "I'm sorry, it's just so funny. But seriously, what mushroom man?"

Some rustling was heard in the bushes

Scarlet was walking near a small river, when she heard some voices. Curious, she decided to walk over to where she heard the them. Turns out, it was just some humans talking

"A mushroom man? Of all the ways to phrase it, you call me a mushroom man? My name is Rocco, doll. Not mushroom man or smoking Caterpillar or whatever."

She struggled to contain a giggle. "A mushroom man you say?" Victoria wasn't able to hold in her laughter for long. "I'm sorry, it's just so funny. But seriously, what mushroom man?"

Rin frowned in frustration, “There’s a man in the mushroom up there!” She yelled and pointed up to the tree, “Come down here and tell me where the hell I’m at!”

"Uugh. Fine." He dropped out of the mushroom, hands stuck in his pockets. He kicked at the ground with his heal, rolling his eyes. "It's me, the all mighty man of mushroom fame! Bow down, all." He gave a lopsided grin, laughing. "But.. let's see.. You're in a mushroom forest. Congrats, loves."

Victoria blinked, surprised. For a long time she didn't say anything, but eventually muttered, "Oh, I see now." And glaring at Rocco, she added, "And don't call me 'love,' mushroom man."
