Re: discussion

I wonder what would be best....

Re: discussion

[tsunderbolt]

... What gives with some of these?

Re: discussion

[cheatcoded]

I don't know...maybe the ones that don't look useful are secretly useful? Like the paper flower can make someone happy, or the chocolate can fill you up when you're hungry.

Re: discussion

[tsunderbolt]

Heh, so they want us to get creative? Some trip this is turning out to be already.

Re: discussion

[cheatcoded]

Well...it could also be the opposite. Where they're just useless and you waste your pick if you choose them.

...It's hard to tell.

Re: discussion

[tsunderbolt]

Only one way to find out, right?

Re: discussion

[cheatcoded]

Mhm.

...What are you going to choose, then?

start

[dramatispersonae]

[ Before you is a simple scene:

There is a fruit tree — you know it’s a fruit tree but there’s no blossoms or fruit to be seen — a path that moves forward and tall sea grass. The sun in the sky looks as though you could reach out and touch it and the air is sweet and moving west to east. Do you take the path? Do you stop to smell the nonexistent roses? ]

Re: start

[tsunderbolt]

[not quite. she's already looking down the path.]

Doesn't look like there's much around here.

Re: start

[cheatcoded]

I guess not...I don't know if there are any easter eggs here to find, so we might want to just go forward.

Re: start

[tsunderbolt]

If we can, we can come back later if we need to. But for now...

[starts walking along the path]

Re: start

[cheatcoded]

That's assuming it's not the point of no return. Although I guess it would be a little early for that...

[ Following behind, though. ]

Re: start

[dramatispersonae]

[ the path is short and fades at one end -- but you get the impression if you continue along it you will end up somewhere else. And be unable to return to this segment ]

Re: start

[tsunderbolt]

[oh, well. just gonna keep going then, what good is a tree anyway]

Re: start

[cheatcoded]

[ ...so torn, we're going to miss out on 100% completion aren't we.

but fine, following teammate since it's probably better not to get separated. ]

down the path...

[dramatispersonae]

[ Before you is a simple scene:

There is a tiered cliff — three tiers, each tier too far apart to be climbed UP. On the top tier there looks to be an altar? Or a mirror without glass. At the bottom of the cliff is sand and a bunch of tough looking ivy twines through the sand.

There is also a path that continues past the cliff. ]

Re: down the path...

[tsunderbolt]

[finally pauses to look the cliffs up and down]

... Looks kinda risky.

Re: down the path...

[cheatcoded]

I wonder if you can use your jumping power to get up there...I don't think we can otherwise.

Re: down the path...

[tsunderbolt]

I can't climb it, that's for sure. Guess it's time to see if these so-called powers do work.

Re: down the path...

[cheatcoded]

I could try teleporting, too, but we might want to save that for later...

Re: down the path...

[tsunderbolt]

Hmmm....

Re: down the path...

[tsunderbolt]

... Well, alright. Just leave it to me! I'll go check it out and see what's up there.

Re: down the path...

[cheatcoded]

Okay. I'll stay by the cliff so you can shout down at me.

Re: down the path...

[tsunderbolt]

Roger that! Now let's try this out...

[scoots back to give herself some room—that way she can run forward, and then jump, like really freakin' high]
