DESCRIPTION: Nomiani says, "Okay. Thank you for coming this far." With that, the two part ways. Joy's History heads back towards the swamps, and Nomiani continues down towards the layered pit. Once down there, they stop and look around. It's eerily quiet. The pit is lined with layers of soft, pressed stones that seem to sparkle. Some of the sparkle has flaked off into piles of powder.
Choose one:
Pick up sparkling powder
Examine the strata
Go south
Go west
DESCRIPTION: Nomiani elects to keep heading towards the pit. They crest over the hill, and look out towards dry, hilly terrain. A snaking, layered pit lays before them. The pit steeps down in tiers, each with what appear to be layers of sparkling stone. It's much drier than the swamps they left.
Joy's History turns to Nomiani. "Hey…this is as far as I can go. This looks a bit too dry and dangerous. But…I hope you find what you're looking for! If you do, come back to the shore and tell me what you find, okay?"
Choose one:
"Okay. Thank you for coming this far."
"I've changed my mind. I'm going back, too."
DESCRIPTION: Nomiani picks up the scattered bones. They got the sawaim bones!
Joy's History comments, "Uhh…no clue what those belong to. Creatures having bones is so weird. Long rocks all stuck inside your body…ick!"
Choose one:
Go and grab a chup for the road
Keep heading toward the pit
DESCRIPTION: Nomiani says, "I'd rather help than hurt things."
Joy's History replies, "It's weird, but also…yeah, that seems really true about you! It's sincere…I don't get it, but I like it!" They seem satisfied with this explanation.
Choose one:
Pick up scattered bones
Keep heading toward the pit
DESCRIPTION:
Nomiani replies, "No? It needed to go home!"
Joy's History says, "Haha, aww, it's weird what things you care about…but kind of cute, too!" They motion to the nest full of chirping chups. "Chups are easy snacks for most things that eat meat."
Choose one:
"I'd rather help than hurt things."
"Should I take one just in case?"
Pick up scattered bones
Keep pressing on
DESCRIPTION: Nomiani decides to put the stray chup back in the nest. It joins all of the other chups in the big huddle, and is removed from their inventory.
Joy's History remarks, "Oh…I thought you were getting a snack!"
Choose one:
"No? It needed to go home!"
"What, are they tasty?"
Pick up scattered bones
Keep heading toward the pit
DESCRIPTION: Nomiani elects to pick up the bird creature. They have no issue picking it up. It's added to their inventory as a 'stray chup.'
Joy's History asks, "What're you gonna do with that?"
Choose one:
Pick up scattered bones
Return the stray chup to the nest
Keep heading toward the pit
DESCRIPTION: Nomiani responds, "I think I need to keep going." Joy's History gives an enthusiastic "Okay, let's go!" and they move on to the next area.
Here, the swamp is beginning to thin out a bit, and winding paths lead to rockier areas ahead. A couple of stray bones lay by the side of the shallow shores. A moss-covered overhang protects what looks like a large nest, filled with round, gray, peeping bird-like creatures. A stray one stays on top of the overhang, looking a bit lost.
Joy's History remarks, "Looks like we're getting closer to that pit…"
Choose one:
Pick up scattered bones
Pick up stray bird creature
Keep heading toward the pit
DESCRIPTION: Nomiani stops to think about if there's something familiar here. However, they only see the strange keyboard once again, adding more to the message from before: "DO TO AVOID THE" is added before they again lose the thought and it goes black.
They return to where they just were on the swamp shore, with Joy's History hovering over them. "Woah, you okay? You kind of drifted off there…"
Choose one:
"Sorry, I can't explain it."
"I think I need to keep going."
DESCRIPTION: Nomiani stops to look a little closer. "Hey, shouldn't we keep going?..." says Joy's History.
But, the creature just dips its head into the swamp water and comes back up with a mouthful of water reeds, which it chews on quietly. It appears horse-like, with an exceptionally long neck layered with stringy hair. Its coloring appears blotchy brown and greenish. Whatever it is, it appears herbivorous. Joy's History notes this, saying, "Oh, looks like it just eats plants, huh?"
Choose one:
Try and think about what's familiar here
Keep heading to the plasticine pit
DESCRIPTION:
Nomiani and Joy's History elect to quietly swim across the swamp. The creature turns its head to watch them, but otherwise doesn't move towards them or appear threatening. They reach the opposite bank, and Joy's History says, "Whew! Guess it's busy…"
Choose one:
Stop to look a little closer
Keep moving on
DESCRIPTION: Nomiani and Joy's History decide to head on towards the swamps. Solid ground gives way to mud and then opaque water all around them. A large creature moves steadily through the swamp in the middle distance…it's a creature that hasn't been seen before: a silhouette with a long neck and long hair. Joy's History doesn't seem to know what it is, and they shrink back, saying "Woah! Um…no idea if THAT thing is safe!"
Choose one:
Try to scare the thing away
Go back the other way
Try to quietly cross the water
DESCRIPTION: Nomiani replies, "'Should' doesn't mean 'have to'." Frettin-Second doesn't seem to know what to do with this idea. "Well, no, but…yes, uh… S-sorry, I need to go think about things!" With that, they take off at a loping run. As they leave, they call back, "Thank you for the stone!"
Joy's History shrugs and adds, "What a nervous Fress."
Choose one:
Try to follow Frettin-Second
Head on to the swamps
DESCRIPTION: Nomiani asks, "Do you HAVE to court someone?"
Frettin-Second looks like they weren't expecting that question, and stumble over their answer a lot. "Well, n-no…but, yes? But…I should, right? It's…so unlucky…"
Joy's History deflates a bit and mutters, "Fress mating is so complicated."
Choose one:
"'Should' doesn't mean 'have to'."
"Forget luck, what about love?"
"Maybe don't worry about it right now."
DESCRIPTION:
Nomiani replies, "No problem! What do you want it for, anyway?" Frettin-Second sheepishly replies, "W-well…my family's really eager to get me bonded with someone soon; I'm so unlucky, and I'm only getting older…I just have such a hard time trying to decide who to court, though! And then I had that dream about this stone, I j-just got it into my head that…uh, it'd help me find my mate." They first imagine all the choices of Fress around them and the pressure to choose a mate, and then imagine themselves giving the blue stone to the right mate.
Choose one:
"What about Juka-First?"
"Do you HAVE to court someone?"
"Do Fress normally give each other stones?"
DESCRIPTION: Nomiani exchanges the blue stone for the rare flower. Frettin-second takes the stone and says, "Thank you…that's very lucky!"
Joy's History waves an excited tentacle. "I helped strobb find it!"
Choose one:
"No problem! What do you want it for, anyway?"
"You're welcome...I better get going, though!"
DESCRIPTION: Nomiani says, "Sorry! But…I found your dream stone!"
"Wait…really?"
They hold out the blue stone that they found with Joy's History in the shallow sea. "W-woah…that looks JUST like the stone I saw in my dream! What great luck!" Frettin-Second says. They then hold out the rare-looking flower they had before. "Oh…I promised you this flower for that stone, r-right?"
Choose one:
"On second thought...I should keep this."
Exchange the stone for the flower
