(As you ponder your options, the doctor guy leaves you in some sort of... cafeteria? ... and points you to an exit just a little further down. Finally! You're almost out of here! As for your plans...)

(The general consensus seems to be sticking with Plan C while working on Plan B on the side. Seems fair enough. You’ll stick around long enough to learn how to sail and then take off or something!)

(You consider sitting down because you’re tired while you think things out, but-)

(He really did take your stuff, huh?)

[agrobacter]

FRESH: “...”

FRESH: “I’m... okay?” FRESH: “Tired, mostly.”

???: “Oh, just tired? Any dizziness or nausea? Pain?”

FRESH: “Not... really...“ FRESH: “You have a little something-” (You vaguely gesture towards the splotch on their head)

???: “Ah. That’s a stain! It should fade after some time... I’m Dr. Houston.” HOUSTON: “Are you sure that you’re not in pain or anything?”

(You really need to get out of here.)

[agrobacter]

[ASK: N....NEW!?!? THATS THE BEST YOU COULD THINK OF SJABSBAVAVAA... Is there a reason behind the alias?]

(Look, anyone else would do just as bad under the same pressure! Going by your actual name probably wouldn’t be great, and New isn’t that bad! It might be a synonym but... You know people named weirder things.)

[ASK: So do you know what you’re doing?]

(Sorta? You have a few ideas.)

(Plan A: Kill that freak tree violently.) (Plan B: Leave forever.) (Plan C: Assume new identity because it’s easier.)

(Burning down that stupid tree would be great but you would also get your ass kicked by those square guys. They’ve done it before and will do it again. Might be worth it, though. You hate that tree.)

(Getting on a boat and just leaving is the most likely out of anything. The problem is in the getting a boat thing. You also do not know how to sail, or where these islands are actually located. So, big chance you’ll die at sea!)

(Living here and pretending everything is normal would be the plan that gets you killed the least. If you can avoid the stupid little blue squares, and anyone else who’d recognize you, you’re set! Drawbacks: The square will kick your ass if anyone finds out, and you are in close proximity to the Tree at all times.)

(Not gonna lie, you aren’t very smart.)

[ASK: lets mourn your favorite shirt first for a moment 😔... okay lets go 🏃 we cant stay here very long-]

(You only sulk for a little while before heading out the door. It seems like the doctor guy was waiting for you and they offer to escort you out the building.)

(... Honestly, that’s probably the best option. You’d get lost otherwise.)

[ASK: do you know how to sew? maybe you can still patch up your shirt later if you find the materials]

(You don’t really know how to sew or anything. It’d be neat though! Sewing’s a useful skill. It’d be good if you could salvage some of your older clothes too...)

(You follow behind Dr. Houston)

HOUSTON: “I do apologize for the state of the hospital. We are a little, well, let’s just say our workload has been a lot heavier... We’ve got plenty of patients and not a lot of supplies to work with.”

FRESH: “Oh.“

HOUSTON: “We are lucky though! As far as we can tell, no deaths have been directly attributed to the, ah, recent incident.”

FRESH: “...”

HOUSTON: "Sorry, I don’t mean to go on about such a heavy topic when you need to recover. What’s your name? I really should’ve asked earlier.”

FRESH: “Uh.” FRESH: “New.”

HOUSTON: “New, then, now-”

(They ramble on about your health but nothing really stands out. You got knocked on the head a couple of times. Big deal. Happened 5 or 6 times before and you’re mostly fine now!)

[agrobacter]

[ASK: Windows are so very breakable]

(Windows are breakable...  but-)

[ASK: I think we should be good to go, so yep! all's good! Hopefully Dr. Houston here will let us go free soon. It kinda looks like it might be night time, though, so depending on things, we might be stuck here a little longer.]

FRESH: “Look, I’m perfectly f- fine. I am totally GOOD. This ain’t nothing I can’t handle. Can I just go home or something?”

HOUSTON: “Well, if you insist... The things that were found with you when you were, uh, recovered should be in that table there. You're free to leave whenever you’re ready.“

(Well that was wayyy less of a hassle than you thought it’d be.)

[agrobacter]

[ASK: Let’s check the stuff out!]

(As promised, your clothes are neatly folded in the little table thing, and a roll of gauze has been placed with everything else. Your accessories are obviously missing.)

(Your pants are in good condition, even if they’re a little large now... but your shirt?)

(... You cannot wear this for multiple reasons. And it used to be your favorite!)

[agrobacter]

Fresh may be a bit unconscious... but! Asks Are Now Open!

[agrobacter]

oh, who's that?

(Who's-)

???: "Oh!"

???: "You're awake, and uh. Walking around? That's good.. How are you feeling?"
