You enter The Village.

Looking around, it's a city of little houses and little buildings. A very lovely and jolly place, where people tall and small communicate and celebrate nothing, and simply get along. An ideal place. Some tall, some smaller. Out to the left and right lie fields of fruits and vegetables, with farmers working jollily to water and weed them.

Straight down is a path, that leads to a mysterious stone colosseum. It's not time to go in yet. You can just make out the other side of the village, hidden by the jollier buildings. It's cold and dark, and you can see it later, if you desire.

Guards march about, dressed in dark green, talking quietly with the citizens. They cover their faces, and seem a little more stern, and a little less chipper than the Villagers. That will be explored later.

To the right is an inn. The guard who let you in ushers you inside, with a nervous smile. Inside, there are three people.

"Another one? What are YOU going to do?"Is an immediate response, that is ignored.

"Hey!"Another response, a small child, bounding up. "Do you wanna be friends?!"The honey-haired child told you excitedly, practically with stars in their eyes.
Choose.

Yes

No
--
Yes.

"You will!?"Stars in eyes getting bigger, the child grinned bright beautiful, challenging the sun to a battle. Every prescense believes you made the right choice.

You now have the ability to ask Jamie questions about The Village.

"Amazing! I get another friend! By the way, my name's Jamie!"They finally introduce themselves, grinning happily. The male who questioned your choices seems to relax. A woman in the kitchen smiles cheerfully at hearing the outburst. The guard that brought you in nods in approval before leaving.

"We're gonna have so much fun! We can explore, and read at the library, and cook, and ooh! Edward can play with us too!"

"No thank you."The male said quickly, glaring at you weakly.

"Aww... Oh well. Ooh!! That's right! You need a room! Liza! Liza!"Jamie bounds over to the woman in the kitchen, leaping over the counter and landing in front of her.

"Liza! Can I choose their room? Please?!"Jamie begged, puffing out their bottom lip. The woman looks confused, then gains a flash of realization in her eyes.

"Oh yes! You can, Jamie. I'm sorry, I forgot where I was again."The woman smiled gently, apologizing and bowing respectfully to the child. Jamie pat her head childishly as she bowed, making Edward and Liza snort and snicker.

Suddenly, you're taken to another time.
"Liza, may I choose their room?" 'She' asked quietly. The hypocrite on the other side of the room nodded. Edward, Liza, and the First One seemed agitated by this display, of 'her' always looking behind 'her' back to make sure the hypocrite approved. Liza smiled, though.

"Of course you can. ;;÷*-€#/*, follow them upstairs."The name was garbled, and pronouns were enunciated.

You're back.

Jamie bounds over once again, hopping and skipping. Theyre happy. They lead you upstairs. They open a door, that says 4, and you go inside. The rooms near it say 'Reserved.'

Jamie talks excitedly as you unpack your few belongings, putting them on the dresser.

You uneqiupped The Trench Coat, The Bag, the Cinnamon Crackers, and The Baseball Bat.

Jamie sits in your room. Talk to them?

If no, say no.

If yes, chose a subject:
·The Village
·About Jamie
·About Jamie's gender
·The other rooms
·Liza and Edward

When you are done talking, say 'end discussion' to prepare for the next choice.

--

You talk to Jamie for a while, until they speak up.
"Sorry, but I have to go! I'll see you tomorrow!"You try to question what will take so long, as the sun is only setting, but they're gone from your room. You decide to sleep. Running has tired you out.

You wake up suddenly. It isn't that there was a bad dream. It's just that you're suddenly awake. Experimentally, you pinch yourself. You are awake. You stand, and to go the window. It's the dead of night. There are mysterious noises. Quiet growls and hisses and spitting. On the ground you can make out dark, lumbering creatures.

Go downstairs?
···Yes
No
Presecenses make the choice for you, urging.

You go downstairs.

The parlor is quiet. Edward's chair is empty. Jamie is no where to be seen. I, the kitchen, you can make out a figure. They come out.

They're horrifying. A black, lumbering, creature, whose head scraped the ceiling. They have a long torso, four arms, and four legs. And a single, bulging eye. They are made of sharp black matter, spikes that could rip your arm to shreds if you barely touched your finger to one. It holds Liza's dress, though more hanging off their arm helplessly. It spots you, and it lets out a shriek, lumbering slowly and menacingly towards you.What do you do?

Run outside

Try to fight it

Run back upstairs

--
Run outside
+1 right

You run outside. Awaiting you outside are millions of other monsters, all huddled by clothing of villagers. As if on cue, they all hiss, and lumber towards you. Except one. This one is smaller than the others, and sits by Jamie's overalls on the steps of the inn, spaced out.

Attack all

Attack the small monster

Run back inside

--
Run back inside.
+1 point Right

You run back inside, just to find yourself face to face with the other monster. It starts to back you up towards the door, where the others await, hissing and growling. Then, all of a sudden, a larger monster speeds from downstairs, and shoves the first away. It moves aside from the stairs, urging you to go up it. The prescenses don't give you a choice. You run up, and are pursued by some of the monsters from the outside. The larger monster smashes into them, keeping them from you. You run to your room, and shut the door. You can hear the battle going on. Suddenly, the clock strikes three, and you fall to your bed, suddenly knocked out.
