Nope! You are at 400/500 though, so close!

fine
five years ago
in the orphanage
all you asked was when and i gave you when and where so that should be more than enough to count for an answer.

[nachetanya]

It does count!

Honestly even the "when" alone would...

But! That honesty and knowledge of Lina does give you the treasure! The door opens to reveal...! A golden flower!

[breakingvoice]

look flower
take flower

are we back to adventure game rules now because this sure seems like the kind of weird prize that we went out of our way to get so we could solve a puzzle on the first screen

[nachetanya]

It's a game about self discovery!

So naturally it's a gold flowering carmelina plant

But yes, we can go back to the first screen, see if there's more to do there. After all, the game show room doesn't seem to go on further other than that elevator over there.

[breakingvoice]

ha.
of course it is.

let's head to the elevator together

for an additional 100 points, what flower am i named after

[nachetanya]

Oh, the hose is getting turned around on...?

This?

[breakingvoice]

that's what i thought you'd say

so where's this elevator taking us

[nachetanya]

Before that, is it incorrect?

[breakingvoice]

i didn't know you were the only one allowed to be mysterious

[nachetanya]

No, you're right! Silly me!

The elevator will take us up to . . . The good end! You've reached a higher truth about yourself!

[breakingvoice]

really?

i don't exactly feel enlightened right now or anything

[nachetanya]

The game was to learn a little more about yourself and the choices you'd make, and the answers you pick.

[breakingvoice]

was it for me to learn about myself

or did you just want an excuse to ask questions that i wouldn't answer otherwise so you can learn more about me

[nachetanya]

It was your choice to answer any question!

So... both, maybe?

[breakingvoice]

then i hope you learned some interesting things about me

this was fun. really. i promise it was no matter how bad i am at saying it.

[nachetanya]

I'm glad you think so.

I feel like I lost the plot in the middle there.

[breakingvoice]

it's fine. you kept it better than retrospec keeps its weird bullshit so you're beating the curve, if you ask me.

how's everyone else doing in their text adventures? throwing them into a bunch of twisty passages, all alike?

[nachetanya]

Oh, it's about self-discovery so naturally, each of them is is individual. Some people might've learned more things than others.

[breakingvoice]

you have to know the most about them, right? you're the DM. that's your job here.

or are you just really good at making it look like you had it all planned the whole time?

[nachetanya]

I had a few ideas going in but! Well, it really was meant to be about self-discovery

[breakingvoice]

well it was a much better idea than anything retrospec could've done so gratz on that

wrong flower btw

[nachetanya]

I thought that might be too obvious...

[breakingvoice]

commelina. the dayflower.

it sounds the same but it couldn't be more different.

[nachetanya]

Oh wow, no, it couldn't.

It matches your new hair. It's cute!
