You hear the sound of a train steadily approaching.

ROOM ONE.

[soulping]

You're inside of a tree. You can hear the buzzing of your HIVEMATES outside, waiting for a human to pass. You were never really much for all the hard work that came with TRICKS. You just want to LAUGH.

For you, the relaxing DARKNESS is enough until then. Still, you can't help but feel like something horrible is about to happen...

...Maybe it has something to do with that SMOULDERING PILE in the corner? ...Yeah. Your HOME catching on FIRE definitely seems like a horrible thing. How did that even happen?

You can look around (not that there's much to see), but really, you only have one choice.

Do you snuff the SMOULDERING PILE out?

>YES
NO

Interesting.

Re: ROOM ONE.

[allergictostairs]

[oh well this is just all really pleasant. what is even happening here.

Chimera is just going to stick close to the others.]

DECISION.

Re: DECISION.

[ KICKING THE FIRE'S ASS.

And by that, snuffing it out. ]

ROOM TWO.

[soulping]

HUMANS are so much fun! TRICKS are great and all, but they have such great games of their own. Besides, they're pretty good at TRICKING themselves.

It's pretty funny, really. Maybe leaving your HIVE was a good idea.

Last night, the HUMANS you're with started up a CAMPFIRE. Of course, they're never comfortable in the DARKNESS. That's just the sort of creature they are.

Huh...it seems like they left it burning, though. They're leaving now. They actually just left their tents and food and really basically everything else here. Weird.

You can look around, but really, you only have one choice.

This seems kind of dangerous, in the middle of a forest, doesn't it? Maybe you should put the CAMPFIRE out.

Re: ROOM TWO.

[cleverlikea]

[ welp. she did just promise chimera. however... ]

Does anyone else find this strange?

Re: ROOM TWO.

[badfall]

. . monsters.

DECISION.

Re: DECISION.

[cleverlikea]

[ we're not putting out the fire, thx ]

ROOM THREE.

[soulping]

The HUMANS led you to a HUMAN TOWN. It's so different from the HIVE! Everything is so much more exciting, and busy, and there's so many things to see...

It seems like some HUMANS aren't as happy as you, or your HIVEMATES. But maybe that's the price of being HUMAN. It's interesting, anyway. You think you'll stay here for awhile. There's a lot of nice shops with things to play with, and cute children, and even a neat tree you could maybe hollow out.

You can look around, but really, you only have one choice.

...There's a blacksmith, and their FORGE is...well, the light is attractive. You stay near it sometimes, at night. And you like to watch them work. But isn't all that FIRE really dangerous? Maybe you should put the FORGE out?

Re: ROOM THREE.

[badfall]

Told you--

Re: ROOM THREE.

[allergictostairs]

[Well, goodness, this is all really strange. Who are these weirdos? They sure stand out.

Chimera sure ain't gonna put that FORGE out, though. It's none of his business. Why should he go up to something all hot and dangerous? He'll just run away if something happens.]

Re: ROOM THREE.

[cleverlikea]

[ WHATEVER. fuck this game and fuck these--losers she doesn't know? cherry's off to go find a TAVERN to get a goddamn DRINK at

also maybe seduce the tavern master so she doesn't have to pay a damn tab ]

DECISION.

[soulping]

Re: DECISION.

[allergictostairs]

None of them are going to put out the forge.

ROOM FOUR.

[soulping]

You've been here for awhile, living amongst them. It's been fun, but...the HUMANS have started to get a bit scary. It's starting to not be so fun, anymore. They mass produce their goods in buildings full of fire and screaming metal, and the ones who sell them don't seem to care about the ones who make them.

They don't like playing with you as much, anymore. You think some of them have even stopped trusting you. You don't understand why. You've learned to build like they do, to live like they do, to have fun like they do...

You want to go home.

But first, you have one choice. There's something you need to do. Downstairs, there's a man, maimed and wounded, and in so much pain. Pain. They taught you what that was. Humans don't like it. Maybe you snuff out the man's pain?

DECISION.

[soulping]

Re: ROOM FOUR.

[cleverlikea]

A mercy kill, is it? ♥

[ if no one stops her, Cherry WILL kill this man >_> ]

Re: ROOM FOUR.

[allergictostairs]

[Well, now he feels all sad and stuff since he's gone and lost... something.

Why should he make someone else feel better when he feels this bad? And anyway, it still has nothing to do with him. He's just going to hang around and maybe enjoy that man's suffering a little from a safe distance.]

Re: ROOM FOUR.

[badfall]

[ nope.

nope nope nope nope nope he's gone, bye. ]

ROOM FIVE.

[soulping]

Something went wrong.

Maybe you should snuff out the flame.

Re: ROOM FIVE.

[allergictostairs]

[Who cares?

No.]
