[You’re escorted onto your ship by a stern-faced looking assistant, and without any warning whatsoever, it rolls its way up the ramp and launches into the air… Enjoy the view, because without any regard for the laws of science, the ship continues to climb. And climb. And climb.

Welcome to space. Soon the ship is sailing on the suddenly literal sea of stars, and the ship even has a deck to admire the view from. The only acknowledgment that space might be unsafe is the fish-bowl bubble helmets available inside… But you don’t need those to breathe the refreshing space air.]

[HE STILL LOOKS A BIT DEPRESSED, but when he speaks he's trying very hard to sound robotic.

Which means his laughter is robotic.]

I suppose we're lucky that all of space supposedly uses the same currency...

Chapter I.

[witchesandscores]

[ Before you know it, a voice rings out over the radio.]

“SPACE HEROES! THE MOON PRINCESS NEEDS YOU! Those evil, green-skinned aliens have whisked her away to their strange, levitating space city and you’re the only people who can save her in time--

Captain --- --- Rush your starship to -- Don’t-- Space pirates-- hurry!”

[ Unfortunately, right after this crackling radio announcement rings out over your spaceship, the SPACE STORM arrives. Lightning crackles all around, and the stars grow dim beneath roiling dark clouds.

But that’s not all. Above even the boom-roar of the weather, you hear the ominous creaking of black sails: A PIRATE SHIP is bearing down on you, cannons visible, and a rough voice over your radio DEMANDS YOUR SURRENDER. ]

Chapter II.

[witchesandscores]

2. [ Having weathered the storm and the pirates, you now face the problem that your MAP was drenched and shredded in the hullabaloo, and with many pieces washed overboard there’s no longer a clear patch to the space city. Without a map, you poor heroes will never find your way through the treacherous space seas.

But all is not lost! Have courage! There’s still a path to PLANET X, where you can buy a new space map.

Unfortunately, the instant that your ship docks on PLANET X, a set of uniformed CUSTOMS GUARDS begin demanding your TOURIST PASSPORTS. ]

[ Having escaped the guards and made it onto the planet, you see a battered and dusty shop selling a variety of SPACE MAPS. It is on fire.

There’s an OLD LADY stuck in the shop… Is she crying?

Why, yes. The little old lady is definitely CRYING in a SHOP THAT HAS BEEN SET ON FIRE. ]

Finale

[witchesandscores]

[ You’ve finally reached the princess…

Only the princess screams that is DEEPLY IN LOVE with the alien prince, and wishes to stay here. If she’s returned, she’ll never see him again due to her parent’s demands that she accept an arranged marriage. Who cares what happens to her planet in her absence?! She’s in love, and she’ll never go with you! NEVER!

ONLY YOU CAN DECIDE THE FATE OF THE PRINCESS, AND THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE. ]
