100m: I'm gonna wreck it! [Action]
[Action (1)]
[This nine-foot tall, barefoot giant of a man finds himself waking up in any old house or apartment, maybe even in the forest. Completely oblivious to the pink wings on his back for now, he instead comes to attention and begins looking around in confusion.]
What? Where's... No! I can't have been taken to another game. I... I was right there! I was gonna save- I... [And his voice goes soft.] Vanellope...
[His eyes are close for a moment, mournfully. When they open, they're filled with hurt anger. And his unusually massive fists are soon put to work... wrecking his immediate surroundings in an angry tantrum, while he shouts loudly. He could keep going until there's nothing left. He will hold himself back from hurting actual people, but he will at least shove aside those who get in his way at emotional heights.]
[Action 2]
[Later on, after being calmed from his tantrum, Ralph trudges through town, defeated and feeling ashamed. First day in a new game and already he's been playing the bad guy. So he makes his way through the item and clothing shops, finding one item in the former which gives him a strong, bittersweet feeling, and then he makes his way out of the village. He only stops at Good Spirits for a round of root beers, trying to keep to himself. That evening, with a sack of bricks over his shoulder, he seeks a nice stump to sleep against, in between bouts of the freezing rain.]

[Action!]
[Chun-Li, for her part, can feel the anger and the frustration coming off him. This big guy was REALLY angry, and she doesn't know why. And that...annoys her. She'll help if she can, but if he won't listen then she's got no choice.]
SENJO SHU!
[She slips in close with dizzying speed, one leg driving into the back of his right knee, her hands shoving forward in an effort to send him to the ground.]
TALK to me!
[Action!]
Her speed catches him offguard - he should have expected it from the glimpses of the game he's seen, plus Zangief's stunning testimonies and possibly first hand accounts of how she reacts to some would-be suitors at Tapper's. It might just take a little bit of effort, but Ralph will be falling like a pile of his favorite bricks, immediately, elbowing the floor in anger.
No need to talk. He just growls again.]
[Action!]
She speaks again, in an even, gentle tone.]
Calm down. Everything's alright. I swear, nothing bad's going to happen. Just tell me what's got you so mad, and let's figure this out together, ok?
[Action!]
[He shouts through gritted teeth.]
Right now... I just wanna wreck!
[And he reaches out, his hand fumbling across the floor for the nearest piece of furniture to grab.]
It's... It's all I'm good at!
[Action!]
massive thighbooted foot on Ralph's hand hard.]I'm sure you've got other skills. Now STOP wrecking my house!
[She glares down with a stern expression, and took an educated guess. It'd happened before. Hell, she'd about clobbered a few people when she first woke up here]
Tell me what happened. Were you fighting before you came here?
[Action!]
Something like that, I was... I don't even wanna talk about it! I was in Sugar Rush, okay? I'm sure you heard all about it by now. How Ralph wrecked an entire game!
Now if you'll just kindly move your foot, Chun-Li, I will leave you alone and find somewhere else to wreck!
[Action!]
Look, I don't know who you are. But I do know you're not in any game, or in any...Sugar Rush. Now, before you go off wrecking anything else, just listen to me, ok?
You don't have to talk, just listen, got it?
[Action!]
[Action!]
You're not in your home...world...anymore. I'm not sure where you come from, or how you know me, but you are definitely not from here. You've been taken from your home by an outside force and dropped here.
[She knows how crazy it sounds so she spreads her wings fully, revealing the little filial appendages from behind her slender frame]
And before you ask, no, you're not dead. Check your back, big guy. You'll see what I mean.
[Action!]
What! Who would... Is this some kinda challenge mode?
[Action!]
[She reaches out to steady him if he falls forward]
It's not. I promise. You're...in another world. Another universe, really, in a place called Luceti. Nobody knows how we get here, but I can tell you from personal experience that whatever's happening back home is going to be alright.
Time...sorta freezes there, while you're here.
[Action!]
Luceti? Weirdest name I've heard. [And such a weird-feeling game to be in.] Sheesh, I must've been brought really far from the arcade. And how do you know that? Sugar Rush is getting unplugged, and its real star is going down with it.
[Action!]
[She just shrugged]
I've got no idea what you're talking about, but whatever was going on back home is stopped in it's tracks while you're here. I've been here once before. Whoever you're trying to help is going to be fine, really. You'll reappear right back where you left off when you get back, and everything will be right as rain.
[Action!]
[Action!]
[Weird, lots of video game analogies]
Things'll be fine. But...what the heck is Sugar Rush? Do you like, live...in a video game?
[Action!]
[Action!]
Why...don't you start with introductions. Who're you?
[Action!]
[Action!]
Well, it's nice to meet you, Ralph. I'm Chun-Li. I'm going to guess you...are from sort of video game world? Judging by all the comments about arcades.
[Action!]
[He brings up his own hand reluctantly. He never thought Chun Li would willingly shake hands with him, but this was... weird. It was like she didn't have any self-awareness in her program. That could be dangerous.]
[Action!]
[She looks around for a journal, and spots it not far off in a pile of rubble, grabbing it and turning it to the guide]
Hey, you know you should probably look at this. I'm...not too good at explaining stuff, but this is basically the rundown of what's going on.
[Action!]
[Action!]
Any questions, Ralph?
[Action!]
[Action!]
[She shrugs]
But it's not so bad here.
