Early heart run.

[restorefromsave]

As you step through the door a siren goes off, the sound echoing in your ears for several minutes as the world goes completely black and empty.

You’re not falling but you’re not really standing on anything either, and all that you can percieve is the sirens still blaring, loud loud loud in your ears--

There’s an explosion so huge you don’t see or hear it so much as feel it through to your very bones. You feel an impact, strange and unsettling, and you think you might be dead? Because you can’t feel your body anymore.

Slowly the sound begins to fade and light and feeling returns, allowing you to see where you are. You’re also alive, good for you.

You end up here at the end. Unless you're Yuki, who ends up here.

As you dispose of the last of the vines, the room flickers and the feeling of distance and sadness increases, an almost overwhelmingly helpless feeling.

A menu pops up in the air in front of you.

Oh...

[stunned for a few moments, his eye watering a bit]

Re: Sunshine Parlour

[familyjewels]

[then, shakes his head and wipes away his tears]

Those all seem pretty low...

[increases each stat to about the middle point, 15 pluses each]

Re: Sunshine Parlour

[restorefromsave]

A new menu pops up.

Insufficient resources to make that change. Please attempt manual reconfiguration.

Request materials? ______

There’s a blinking text box and nearly transparent keyboard where you may type in a request.

Re: Sunshine Parlour

[familyjewels]

... uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Re: Sunshine Parlour

[familyjewels]

[sits up, thinking]

Materials, huh? What kinda materials would increase those...?

[... enters "rope"]

Re: Sunshine Parlour

[restorefromsave]

A rope appears!

Re: Sunshine Parlour

[familyjewels]

Ohhh okay!

[thinks, then enters "watering trough"]

Re: Sunshine Parlour

[restorefromsave]

One of those appears too!

Gara is watching you like a hawk.

Re: Sunshine Parlour

[familyjewels]

[enters "soil" and makes sure the trough is right where everything appears so dirt doesn't go everywhere]

Re: Sunshine Parlour

[restorefromsave]

You have a trough filled with nice fine soil, and a rope.

Re: Sunshine Parlour

[familyjewels]

[in retrospect I'm not entirely sure why I entered rope as my first item. OH WELL.

enters "seeds"]

Re: Sunshine Parlour

[restorefromsave]

The menu scrolls, thinking.

Insufficient data.

Re: Sunshine Parlour

[familyjewels]

Hmmm...

["flowers"?]

Re: Sunshine Parlour

[restorefromsave]

Some assorted seed packets appear.

Re: Sunshine Parlour

[familyjewels]

Perfect.

[starts planting!!]

Re: Sunshine Parlour

[restorefromsave]

The soil looks pretty nice, they should have a good basis there!

Re: Sunshine Parlour

[familyjewels]

Alright, I can get some water from the kitchen... but they'll need sunlight.

[looking around, how bright is it in here?]

Re: Sunshine Parlour

[restorefromsave]

There's a fireplace and the standard windows from the cabin.

Re: Sunshine Parlour

[familyjewels]

[... enters "sun"]

Re: Sunshine Parlour

[restorefromsave]

A glowing jewel the size of your palm appears. It's a faceted crystal not exactly shaped like a sun, but still.

Re: Sunshine Parlour

[familyjewels]

Neat...

[reaches out to touch it (with gloves)]

Re: Sunshine Parlour

[restorefromsave]

Even through your gloves it feels warm.

Re: Sunshine Parlour

[familyjewels]

[does it levitate in the air if he leaves it?]
