AMALTHEA

[soulping]

[ You're led through the TV into a...2-D looking world! The observant may notice that the world looks quite similar to the one you visited in her last game, although none of the prior landmarks are present.

In front of you are two trees, bearing fruit, and a sign-post. The sign tells you that there is a shop to your north, a museum to your left, and a town-hall to your right. To your south just seems to be grassy fields, with some strange star markings scattered throughout. ]

RULES.

[inbeta]

▶ This is a "grow your town" game!

▶ You will have three "days"/rounds in order to grow your town! Each round will last an hour and a half.

▶ You start with 500 bells and two full fruit trees.

▶ There is a shop to the north (where you can buy tools and sell things), a museum to the left (where you can check fossils and donate items), and a town hall to your right (where Game Freak is sitting to help you out).

▶ IF YOU WANT TO BUY/SELL/DONATE FOSSILS and I do not seem to be getting the memo, please pp me on plurk (seasidekingdom) or PM me! I am going to try to watch things so I can put up the scenarios for the museum/store/town hall, but if it's hidden in a tag I may need a head's up. I will also handle all the RNG-ing and pricing.

▶ Wins will be assigned for the wealthiest towns (most bells saved up), the most cultured towns (most donations to museum), and greenest towns (most trees/flowers). If there are wins left over, then the remaining wins will be decided on the entertainment value Game Freak got out of your experience or a second win for one of the previously-mentioned categories.

▶ Also, please note that skills are off!

OOC QUESTIONS

[inbeta]

I don't have IRC on this computer, so if you need to ask me any questions please do so here!

If for some reason that's problematic, you can also PM this account or private plurk me at seasidekingdom.

ROUND 1 - THE FIRST DAY -

[inbeta]

[ The day starts at 10 am. Your trees are filled with fruit, and there are fossils buried under stars around. You can also see a day-moon off in the distance, but you're probably not interested in that or the accompanying background music.

You can choose to visit the store, the museum, or the town hall, or you can wander around the fields. ]

DISCUSSION

[inbeta]

TURN-IN

[inbeta]

Please summarize what your team has done during this round (ex. planted two trees, sold a trilobite fossil for $3,000, etc.)!

Linking is not necessary, although you will need to complete the tasks in the discussion thread.

Re: DISCUSSION

[whoslaughingmeow]

[Oh god I'm alone. I guess I'll pick the fruit. That's nice and simple to start with.]

ROUND 2 - THE SECOND DAY -

[inbeta]

[ And suddenly, it's 10am again! The fruits have regrown if they were removed, fossils are buried again, and any new trees have grown to full trees (although bare).

Also, maybe it's just you, but the background music has changed and the day-moon looks like it's gotten closer.... ]

[inbeta]

Bank: 500 bells

Re: DISCUSSION

[whoslaughingmeow]

It'd be good if there were more trees..

[He re-picks the newly grown fruit and goes to sell some of it. Maybe get some sort of tools!]

STORE

[inbeta]

[ When you walk in, a raccoon comes up to you gushing about his "crrrrazy deals".

As for offered items, you see the following: a shovel for 500 bells and flowers for 200 bells. ]

Would you like to make a purchase, yes yes? Or perhaps you have something to sell?

Re: STORE

[whoslaughingmeow]

[THIS IS NEW. Stay calm. ogodstaycalm.]

I'll buy uh. The shovel.

..And how much will you give me for fruits?

Re: STORE

[inbeta]

The shovel? That will be 500 bells, thank you.

[ Your bank goes down from 500 bells to 0. On the plus side, you are now +1 shovel. ]

I can also buy fruit for 200 bells each. Would you like to sell?

Re: STORE

[whoslaughingmeow]

I'll sell two of them, and get the flowers.

Re: STORE

[inbeta]

Yes, yes, here is 400 bells....but ah, let me take 200 back.

[ He takes two fruits away, and your bank increases from 0 to 400 bells. However, it then decreases down to 200 bells as he hands you a packet of flowers. ]

Here are your flowers!

Re: STORE

[whoslaughingmeow]

Uh.. thank you.

[This is a little surreal. But now I'll go plant my four remaining fruits from yesterday in a nice line, and plant some flowers between two of them!]

Re: STORE

[whoslaughingmeow]

[And thinking about it, I'll go poke at those weird star marks on the ground now that I have a shovel.]

Re: STORE

[inbeta]

[ If you dig one up, you'll find that there's an Unidentified Fossil underneath!

There are also five stars total. ]

Re: STORE

[whoslaughingmeow]

[I have no idea what this funky rock is. But I'll dig them up and.. take them to the museum. THERE MUST BE SOME EGGHEAD WHO CAN IDENTIFY THEM.

MUSEUM

[inbeta]

[ Walking in, you see an owl....napping on the job. Huh.

Wonder what happens when you poke it awake? ]

Re: MUSEUM

[whoslaughingmeow]

[WHEN I SAID EGGHEAD I DIDN'T MEAN THIS! I guess I'll prod him tho.]

Re: MUSEUM

[inbeta]

[ Startles awake in a burst of hopping and feathers. ]

Hoo! Hoo, hoo....

A visitor?! Oh dear, I apologize...I just get so sleepy, you see...

...Well, welcome to the town museum. We proudly display all the finest artifacts...or we will, once we find some.

Re: MUSEUM

[whoslaughingmeow]

...Right.

[I almost feel bad for you are the exhibits like your eggs or something]

I uh. Found these rocks? I dunno what they are.

[HAVE SOME FOSSILS]

Re: MUSEUM

[inbeta]

Hoo! Hoo, hoo, these are fossils...would you like me to identify them for you?
