The Phoenix of Grunvale

An umlaut-O with a crown, to reference how the Gerbilman (German) words for 'king' and 'queen' are spelled with the form of the letter.

A volcano erupts, spelling 'DUH' with its cloud, as a reference to how similar the Eaglish (English) and Gerbilman (German) words are to each other.

Chandler: "Gilda, there's a lot of filler in this essay. I wasn't looking for your opinion on Jerry Springer. Plus, you didn't translate 'Eisfrei'." Gilda: "Because it was a mistranslation of 'Eisberg'." Chandler: "In a strange way, however, you did manage to go above and beyond translating words you weren't expected to. I think a B-plus oughta sum it up." Gilda: "B-plus? Uh, yeah, sure! I'll take it! It's B-ene! Heheh."

A profile view of Mount Hatcher at dusk, drawn by Gilda.

[Annoying Orange parody]: "Orange you sad you don't have the same name in Gerbilman? Nyahahahahaha!"

Roz: *blows smoke into Gilda's face as Maddie laughs*

[skull]: "Howdily doodily!"

Gilda: *cuts a ribbon and ties it at the end of one of her braids, then looks in the mirror at her work* "Blagh! Heheh. I'm so cute." *grabs controller* "For processing Gerbilman at blast speed." *grabs book off shelf* "Pages out? Mr. Spectrous, spines out! Sempre!" *sits*

Gilda: *sees map of 'The Colors', which includes the town of Grunvale* "Oh, would you look at that. A map of this town and its neighbors. Color-coded, too!" *rubs hands together, as procyonines do* "Trusty old mnemonics, vecchio e infallibile! It helped me learn Itacavallian, and now, it's gonna help me learn Deuletsch! Gerbilman! I can see the essay in my mind already."

Gilda: "Wait... the robot blows up if I'm away from the base for too long? And why is the level called 'Eisfrei'? Isn't that 'ice-free'?"

Gilda: "AAUGH! Terence! Bastardo puzzolente!"

NOTE: The alt-text on this one is more limited due to the unconventional format pushing character limits.
