@dexter-is-here
why am i back?
i think i've lost mira. shhhit. shitting hell.
there's so many enemies in this place.
so... whilst you guys are in the dark world...
mind telling us about your sibling?
[through the tunnel is a hidden area with a lake. the water of the lake is a translucent blue, with glowing algae growing on the bed of the lake. on the opposite side of the lake is a building that looks like a very big bar of soap.]
[ Caan. I look around a bit more around the lake? ]
[sure yeah idc just tell me where you go]
[ the algaaaeeeee ]
[that is in the water. are you going in the water?]
[ Hmm.. sure. ]
[it’s not cold or hot. it feels.. just right. perfect.]
[ Mira likes the water. It feels oddly nostalgic. ]
[it's reasonably shallow]
[ fair enough. Probably going to walk around in the lake. ]
[some of the algae sticks to you. near to the middle of the lake, under the water, there is an orange bandana.]
[ taking the orange bandana ]
[ and is it. possible to just store algae as well or? ]
[the bandana is an armour item. and yes, you can store the algae. it has no stats, but can probably be used in some way.]
[ Aaauuuuw yeaaaah ]
[ Is that all in the lake? if so I might get out ]
[yes, that's all. as you get out of the water, the air around seems warmer than it was when you were dry, rather than colder (which is usually the case when you've been in water)]
[ Mira is. Confused from this sensation. Not that she'll question it further but, still. ]
[what do you want to do now?]
[ Probably go take a look at the soap bar ]
[there doesn't seem to be a door on it at first, but when pushed, a section of it swings open into the soap bar, revealing the interior of the shop, which is mostly just a counter with a collection of bubbles behind it. some contain items, and one has a large, smiley, happy face on it; the shopkeeper]
Oh! ah, hello!
[ wave to the shopkeeper ]
[the shopkeeper smiles]
Welcome!

[BUY] [SELL] [TALK]
[the TALK options are as follows]
[BANDANA] [ALGAE] [BUGS]
[ Let's talk first. probably ]
[ * BUGS ]
Oh you wanna know about the bugs? They all live in the big ol' nest. Been congregating there since they got their new leader. I don't recognise what kinda bug they are, but at least they're keeping those pesky insects all in one place, and away from my shop!
New.. leader?
[ ahhh. ]
Yup! I don't know diddly-squat about them, but they've kept to the nest, so I don't really need to know anything about them.
[BUY] [SELL] [TALK]
[the talk options are the same, but without the BUGS topic, and instead with a LAKE topic]
[ * LAKE ]
I don't like to go in. I just float on the surface. Hah! Get it? Because I'm a bubble. ..I can't go under the water. Bubbles float.
[BUY] [SELL] [TALK]
[ * ALGAE ]
It glows. Some folks use it to make fake money.
I'm hoping you have real money!
[BUY] [SELL] [TALK]
[ oooo ]
[ * BANDANA ]
Oh! That bandana! I think it's a reference to something.
[fourth wall break of all time]
[BUY] [SELL] [TALK]
[ ... that flew over Mira's head. and mine. still is. ]
[ * BUY ]
[what would you like to buy? SOAP SATCHEL 15S$ (a slippery satchel for extra storage - storage item) SHROOM JUICE 10S$ (tasty and refreshing - healing item) LITTLE FUNGUS 5S$ (the most basic little mushroom - healing item (this one looks familiar... oh, yeah, that little mushroom DEXTER gave you!)) UNLIT CANDLE 1S$ (not sure what it's really for, but anything for profit - ???)]
[ First off, check how much SHROOMBUCKS we have overall... ]
[from encounters so far, you have gotten 12S$. however, it would be easy to make some counterfeit money out of the glowing algae you collected.]
[ ok ]
[ to be honest, might buy the candle. just because. ]
[you successfully purchase the UNLIT CANDLE]
[BUY] [SELL] [TALK]
[ sorry can i just look at the talk options again ]
[you've completed them all, so.. there's no point really]
[ ok ok fair enough ]
[ ... I. think I'm done here?? ok ]
[alright, then you leave the shop]
[ you think there's more algae? or did i. collect all of it. also how much does it clog up the storage? ]
[a handful of algae is one inventory slot. with the mushroom of absolute distraction, the several handfuls of algae you have, the unequipped bandana, and the unlit candle, your storage is full. also, no. the lakebed was covered in algae. you didn't get it all. your pockets aren't THAT big]
damn women's pockets...
[ you think dexter's nearby? also do you think anyone should equip the bandana or is that. a bad idea. ]
[DEXTER didn't go through the tunnel to the lake area]
[ Hm. Well I'm sure a handful is enough to mould into multiple fake shroombucks so... ]
[ Mira exits the lake tunnel area. ]
[DEXTER is waiting just beyond the tunnel]
[ Waaave to Dexter whilst. rapidly approaching him. ]
[he waves back]
hi.
Hhiiiii.
[ shhit i should've looked at the bandana's stats. what are its stats. ]
[ORANGE BANDANA - damp and slightly stained (is that blood?), but otherwise acceptable - +2DF (Defense)]
Hmm.
[ She hold the bandana out. ]
You think this would be better on you or me?
[he shrugs]
i don't know. fashion's not really my thing.
[ She. makes a face – similar to 😗 <- that but with squinted eyes. Then she puts it on Dexter ]
[he just does a thumbs up. he's so unbothered.]
[ what an unbothered king ]
[ Well, Mira seems. alright(ish) with it , so... ]
well, we should move on. i see a factory in the distance, and i feel like we probably need to go there. did you get any new information?
Uhhh. Big. Nest. somewhere.
It has the majority of the bugs there.
Also.
[ Mira shows the. handful of algae ]
This can be used to fake money. Just in case.
huh. i'll keep that in mind.
Yeeah.
[ Just. putting the algae bback into the pocket. ]
[ And, probably walking towards the factory. ]
[yayyy, now to abandon this for a while again, then pretend that things happened in the interim]

[DEXTER didn't go through the tunnel to the lake area]
[ Hm. Well I'm sure a handful is enough to mould into multiple fake shroombucks so... ]
[ Mira exits the lake tunnel area. ]
[DEXTER is waiting just beyond the tunnel]
[ Waaave to Dexter whilst. rapidly approaching him. ]
[he waves back]
hi.
Hhiiiii.
[ shhit i should've looked at the bandana's stats. what are its stats. ]
[ORANGE BANDANA - damp and slightly stained (is that blood?), but otherwise acceptable - +2DF (Defense)]
Hmm.
[ She hold the bandana out. ]
You think this would be better on you or me?
[he shrugs]
i don't know. fashion's not really my thing.
[through the tunnel is a hidden area with a lake. the water of the lake is a translucent blue, with glowing algae growing on the bed of the lake. on the opposite side of the lake is a building that looks like a very big bar of soap.]
[ Caan. I look around a bit more around the lake? ]
[sure yeah idc just tell me where you go]
[ the algaaaeeeee ]
[that is in the water. are you going in the water?]
[ Hmm.. sure. ]
[it’s not cold or hot. it feels.. just right. perfect.]
[ Mira likes the water. It feels oddly nostalgic. ]
[it's reasonably shallow]
[ fair enough. Probably going to walk around in the lake. ]
[some of the algae sticks to you. near to the middle of the lake, under the water, there is an orange bandana.]
[ taking the orange bandana ]
[ and is it. possible to just store algae as well or? ]
[the bandana is an armour item. and yes, you can store the algae. it has no stats, but can probably be used in some way.]
[ Aaauuuuw yeaaaah ]
[ Is that all in the lake? if so I might get out ]
[yes, that's all. as you get out of the water, the air around seems warmer than it was when you were dry, rather than colder (which is usually the case when you've been in water)]
[ Mira is. Confused from this sensation. Not that she'll question it further but, still. ]
[what do you want to do now?]
[ Probably go take a look at the soap bar ]
[there doesn't seem to be a door on it at first, but when pushed, a section of it swings open into the soap bar, revealing the interior of the shop, which is mostly just a counter with a collection of bubbles behind it. some contain items, and one has a large, smiley, happy face on it; the shopkeeper]
Oh! ah, hello!

Oh you wanna know about the bugs? They all live in the big ol' nest. Been congregating there since they got their new leader. I don't recognise what kinda bug they are, but at least they're keeping those pesky insects all in one place, and away from my shop!
New.. leader?

where are you and mira rn?
we’ve done a few puzzles. we’ve made camp near a tunnel we found.
i’m not sure if we should go in…
reference image under cut
dont worry about it😇
okay..??
whats what?
why is there a flower in the group inventory? it has a face. and it's asleep.
what the fuck is this??
[ Mira should be uhhhhh at the Pest Control HQ now. ]
[ lol ignore how i took forever to ask you this i was procrastinating ]
@miiraclepaint
[it looks normal from the outside. but of course it would...]
[ Alright then. So. Mira should go in then ]
[the moment the door is opened, darkness spills out. oh and hey now you're falling, 0.2 seconds after stepping inside...]
[at the point of landing, the ground is soft.]
Oh— what the fuck??
[ Best to look around, right? ]
[the current location seems to be a clearing in some kind of fungal forest. someone who looks at least humanoid is nearby.]
[ Okay.. let's approach the. humanoid. thing. ]
[it's literally just DEXTER lmaooo. that becomes more obvious when he turns to face MIRA properly.]
oh. i was wondering when you would be here.
Oh. Um. Hi, Dexter.
you took a while to get here.
Shhhhhh. Shhush.
that gave me enough time to collect some items for our.. for lack of a better word.. quest.
Oh, well that's. Good. Yeah.
...
Any idea where to go from here? Or. do we just have to. Figure that out.
this forest seems to be a starting area. it's pretty big, but there are paths through it.
i didn't go very far from here, and all i found were some puzzles.
Oh for real?
Well. I guess we should uhh follow?? The paths?? Probably???
probably.
lead the way then.
Oh. Okay then.
[ And so she follows the paths. ]
[he follows close behind. the silence is stifling.]
[ She. Attempts to bear the quiet. Ddoesn't work. ]
.. ok conversation starters.. um. Soo, you said you found stuff before I arrived. Anything. Uh. Cool??
only really some foodstuffs. we shouldn't really need them.
Oh. mmmmfair enough.
[DEXTER gets a dinky little mushroom out of his pocket]
here.
Huh. Thanks.
[ You think I can loom at it or. is it. just a mushroom. ]
[it just looks like a mushroom]
[the first puzzle is nearby by now. the path tightens to become only a foot wide. there are 1 foot by 1 foot tiles all the way along it]
[ right. ]
[ Are we allowed to stray the path a little just to look at the puzzle? Or is the path and the puzzle the only thing we can step on? ]
[path and puzzle. the forest all around is too risky; dark and dense.]
[ Ok. Can I observe the puzzle? Or does it not start before we interact with it? ]
[it doesn't seem to be doing anything whilst it's being left alone]
[ Mira steps on one of the tiles. ]
[nothing happens]
[safe]
[ Hm. can I look at the tile that Mira is on? ]
[it is the same as before it was stepped on]
[ Step forward? ]
[the next tile turns blue and a large spore on the bottom of a mushroom which has a cap that overhangs the path emits a cloud of toxins.]
Oh ffucking hell.
[ She steps back onto the last tile. and coughs like the asthmatic ass she is. L bozo. ]
[and she collides with DEXTER]
be careful! ..there has to be some kind of way to figure out which tiles will turn blue without needing to step on all of them...
Hm...
[ look at the mushroom given to her? ]
[still just a mushroom.]
[ Does anything happen when she presses on the cap? Like any spores? Or. is it too small. ]
[still just a mushroom.]
[it's just a foodstuff, mira. focus on the fucking puzzle.]
mmmmrghh...
[ Okay, don't kill me. but. can she throw the (food) mushroom at the (bigger) mushroom? ]
[ Fuckass distraction mushroom ]
[WHY]
[y'know what? fine. that's your food you're wasting. you don't even know where any shops are yet! and you have NO CURRENCY!!]
Damn, thought I could do something with that...
[ IS THE MUSHROOM STILL THERE. LIKE PHYSICALLY. I NEED THIS MUSHROOM TO BE A GAG. ]
[it misses its intended target and lands on a tile like halfway through the puzzle.]
[ SIIGHHHH ]
[ How far is that. big mushroom cap. by the way. ]
[above the second tile. like, the spore is directly above the centre of it.]
Alright....
[ You think the spore can be moved / redirected? ]
[nope. but the spore(s) is(/are) the key to figuring this out.]
. . .
[ Mira is going to directly hit that spore. Multiple times. ]
[it releases more toxins]
[ She's going to. try and waft the toxins towards other tiles. ]
[YOU ARE SPREADING THE PROBLEM TO POSSIBLY SAFE TILES]
[ Mira. looks very disappointed in herself. ]
[ Also. are there any more spores over other tiles? or. ]
[OHMYGODFINALLY]
[yes. but not all of them. including that first safe one.]
[ I'm crine🥹🥹🥹 ]
[ She's gonna uhhhhhh. go onto a tile that. doesn't have a spore first. ]
[safe.]
Ok. So the uhhhh. Ones with no spores are..
... wow, I'm stupid.
[ And another sporeless one?👀 ]
[that one turns green and an enemy darkner appears]
[combat is initiated]
Ah, piss.
[ Okay. in ACTing, do I have a list of things I can do. or do i make it up. ]
Check
Catch bugs (MIRA and DEXTER) [not enough TP]
Catch bugs (MIRA) [not enough TP]
[ Aight ]
[ Can I see how much TP we need or nah? ]
[ And I guess.. go CHECK ]
[* SMACKDOWN - AT6 DF0]
[* Thank god this guy is single.]
[oh and DEXTER chooses to DEFEND, to get TP (as a magic user, he relies on TP)]
[ Lol makes sense. and good to know good to know. ]
[SMACKDOWN's first attack is fly-shaped projectiles. oh hey, look, soulsss...]
[ Oh. This is gonna have to be adjusted to. ]
[ I'd saayyy.. Mira get hit probably once? But also gets a few grazes ( is. that what its called? the. getting TP white outline thing. ]
[DEXTER thankfully isn't hit. squishy magic user.]
[next turn.]
[ Check the ACT stuff. Mostly to see if anything has "unlocked" for lack of a better word. ]
[the solo action is available.]
[ CATCH BUGS ( MIRA ) is chosen ]
[DEXTER DEFENDs again]
[the next attack has the fly projectiles in a different pattern/orientation. there are a few green ones in the attack patterns directed towards MIRA]
[ I'd saay that Mira GRAZEs a few more and probably gets hit by a green fly? yea ]
[* SPARE +25%]
[all actions are available]
[ Okay then. CATCH BUGS ( All Team ) ]
[the next attack has smaller, faster flies. both party members have green flies.]
[ AH PISS ]
[ Mira's probably going to get hit quite a bit, but catch a few green ones. ]
[DEXTER misses the only green he gets]
[* SPARE +50%]
[ No actions available? If not Mira will probably DEFEND. ]
[DEXTER has just about enough TP to heal MIRA]
Oh, shit,, thanks man.
[the next attack is a repeat of the first]
[ Fair enough. Mira should do a little better this time. ]
[DEXTER takes some damage, but also gets some TP]
[ okey ]
[ Check on the ACTions if there are any available after that. ]
[the solo action is]
[ Okeyy,, Mira's going to do that then. ]
[DEXTER defends]
[the second attack repeats]
[ Get hit,, like twice probably. ]
[did you hit the greens?]
[ ehhhh prolly not ]
[god damn you’re pathetic]
[next turnnnn…]
[ shhhhhh ]
[ Again, look for any available ACTions. ]
[just solo]
[ Ffair enough ]
[DEXTER DEFENDs]
[it’s that damn 3rd attack pattern again]
[ wow okay ]
[ Mira should be catching some green bugs now. fucking hell ]
[* +25% SPARE]
[SMACKDOWN can now be spared]
[ 👍 ]
[ Mira SPAREs Smackdown. ]
[once SMACKDOWN is spared, DEXTER offers MIRA a green mushroom]
this heals.
