TIAMAT + GARY

[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. ]

They'll probably take fruit, if this is any bit as corny of a game as it looks.

[hyanaimne]

It is certainly better than most games.

[she's heading for the store! Following or no, Gary?]

[relaxfriend]

I was thinking more like corny video games. Not that you seem to know about those.

[because your hilarious reaction to computers.

but yes, what the hell? following!]

[hyanaimne]

I know nothing about videos or games, no.

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

[relaxfriend]

[Jesus christ what is his life.]

...Do you buy fruit?

Re: STORE

[inbeta]

Yes, I do! I can give you 200 bells for each piece of fruit.

[hyanaimne]

Oh . . . we could buy a shovel and then return later after we have picked some fruit?

[relaxfriend]

[nodding once in agreement and turning to the...raccoon, guy.]

Can we do that? We're good for it.

[inbeta]

That will be 500 bells, thank you! Good, good, the money's all here....here you go.

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

[hyanaimne]

[hooray for a shovel! She thanks the raccoon and leads the way back]

I think we should plant those trees we have first, and then see what else there is to do.

[relaxfriend]

[PROGRESS.]

[waving hand and a noncommittal sound. that's just his way of agreeing.]

Should probably find a way to make some of our "bells" back.

And find a way to get that stupid music to stop playing.

[it's already driving him a little crazy.]

[hyanaimne]

The music? It is not so bad . . .

[relaxfriend]

It's... [just making hand movements now because there are no words]...grating.

[well there's one.]

Let's just hurry up with the trees.

[hyanaimne]

Perhaps you should try to tune it out?

[relaxfriend]

[looking rather impressed with the suggestion!

but it's obviously insincere when he speaks.]

Really? What a brilliant suggestion!

[then back to his normal tone.]

Don't you think that's the first thing I tried to do?

[hyanaimne]

Oh, so you would rather complain instead?

[Gary pls. She's going to get the trees, though]

[relaxfriend]

Hey, hey. It's not so much "complaining" as it is "making an observation".

[but look he's going to help with them at least. he can be productive and bitch at the same time!!]

[hyanaimne]

It is complaining.

[look at how well they multitask, bitching at each other AND planting those two trees]
