[GROUP ONE]

[dramatispersonae]

You're in a small dome-shaped chamber, the walls and floor made of white frosted glass. It's cool here.

In the middle of the floor is a small flame, with no apparent source of fuel. Arranged around it are five gleaming copper objects, each labelled:

• a tiny watering can (GROWTH)
  
• a winding watch the size of your thumbnail, which you can set to run backwards or forwards (TIME)
  
• a heart (CARE)
  
• a mesh bag full of copper flakes (STRENGTH)
  
• a lump of what seems to be metallic clay, which you can mold into whatever shape you want (CHOICE)

“Feed the flame,” Firebird says. “Today is for creation. Consider what you may make, and why.”

They pour down into . . .

Uh, empty sky, actually.

Re: DISCUSSION

[twilight_boy]

It's like the place itself is flying.

Is there anything you want for the last thing? Hey, this tastes pretty good...

Re: DISCUSSION

[forthreehestrays]

I don't have any particular preference. Was there anything interesting by the waterfall?

Kit! What do you think about getting out of this dome?

[blackjacked]

[DELICIOUS LYCHEE JUICE :9]

I think that's the best idea I've heard yet.

Do you want to stay in here, or go see what's out past the dome?

Re: DECISION

[brotagonist]

[AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST... A BOAT, kind of looking like an adorable cat in the same way a Viking ship was supposed to be a dragon, its outstretched paw part of a figurehead for ramming things!]

Okay, here's the end! We've spent our time in this weird awesome sunglasses fruit juice place for a while, but now we've spent enough time and we want to see the people and places past the dome! [ADDS TIME] We care about the shade trees and mangos and things we made, so we want to show them to everyone else at home and in places we haven't been yet, plus the dome is just too small for all our ideas! [ADDS CARE] Also, Hail wants to watch new people in those places and see if they're interesting! So we're going to build a flying boat out of the sunglasses that has the strength [ADDS STRENGTH] to bust us out of here, with a cat on the front to swipe the barrier away! It'll be called the Flying People Watcher and once we're through the dome, it'll grow [ADDS GROWTH] more sails so we can glide along behind it or under it to watch people better, or just feel the wind if we want! So now it's time to break out of the dome, Firebird!

Re: RESULT

[alltheworldsachoice]

A GIANT LIVING CAT BOAT APPEARS . . . IT'S LIKE THE CAT BUS FROM TOTORO BUT IT'S A BOAT!? IT HAS SAILS

Approximately five billion of the flying sunglasses are flapping underneath it to support it in the air.

You can see other islands to explore out beyond the dome now -- if you get on the cat boat and burst through the dome with it, you'll find they're as whimsical as the one you just left behind.

When you've had your fill of exploring, you can float off to endgame.
