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. ]

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

[hyanaimne]

Oh . . . so we do not have to use that computer thing for this.

[relaxfriend]

You lucked out.

[Oh hai.]

[hyanaimne]

This time . . .

Should we head to the store, first? For supplies.

[relaxfriend]

Do we even have anything to spend?

[hyanaimne]

I do not know . . . but we should see what they accept, yes? Perhaps it is a bartering system.

[relaxfriend]

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?
