:END #END :DIE #SHOW DEAD #ENDGAME :INTRO #SET LIZARD It is New Year's Day, and to celebrate, you have joined some of your classmates from St. Pigeonation's to go down to the local shrine. #SHOW SHRINE As you get there, you notice the place is strangely empty, even compared to its usual sparsity of visitors. #SPRITE LIZARD SHOW As you get further in, however, you see why: a Komodo Dragon has apparently decided to sunbathe in the middle of the shrine grounds and scared everybirdie off! #SPRITE ANGHEL SHOW "The Black Serpent of Agony has appeared!" The startled, slightly agonized cry of the luzon who stands beside your group startles you...where'd he come from, anyway? Before you can ask, he tosses you a pen used in drawing manga. "Go forth, Scarlet Knight of the Sephirot! It is your destiny to wield Sae'krom, the holy spear, and slay this beast!" #GIVE SAEKROM #SPRITE ANGHEL HIDE Looks like you've picked up a weird one, my friend. Rummaging through your backpacks, you and your classmates scrounge together a few items you can use to deal with the situation. #GIVE PUDDING #GIVE UNICYCLE #GIVE PAINTBRUSH Things do not look very promising, however, as all that you have are a packet of Tat-P pudding mix, a unicycle, a paintbrush that (for some reason) is still wet with purple paint... #GIVE MILLET #GIVE KEY2 ...a packet of millet seeds, the key to your locker, and the loony luzon's pen. #END :QUICKINTRO It is New Year's Day, and to celebrate, you have joined some of your classmates from St. Pigeonation's to go down to the local shrine. Well, you know the rest. #SET LIZARD #SHOW SHRINE #SPRITE LIZARD SHOW #GIVE SAEKROM #GIVE PUDDING #GIVE UNICYCLE #GIVE PAINTBRUSH #GIVE MILLET #GIVE KEY2 #END :LOOK PUDDING It's a 2-container package, labeled "Tat-P brand Pudding Mix." You're fairly sure you've never seen pudding mix come in containers of this size...this could be enough to feed a whole family! #END :LOOK PAINTBRUSH It's a paintbrush from the art room at the school...why would one of your classmates have this? In any case, the bristles have a small plastic bag over them, because they're still wet with a huge glop of paint. The paint itself is a gorgeous shade of purple. #END :LOOK UNICYCLE You've never met anybirdie who knows how to ride one of these. Where did this come from? In any case, it looks about as sturdy as it looks unsteady. #END :LOOK SAEKROM The mapping pen that the weird Luzon bleeding-heart gave you. It feels much more solid than a pen should, leaving you with the impression that it should be a lot heavier than it actually is; it seems to glide in your wing as naturally as if it were a part of you. #END :LOOK KEY2 This the key to your locker at St. Pigeonation's. You normally leave it on your nightstand at home, but during school hours it's always in your backpack. Sometimes it can be a little hard to find, though. #END :LOOK MILLET You brought this packet of millet seeds along in case you got hungry on the way home. Just thinking about them starts to make your mouth water! #END :LOOK LIZARD It's a komodo dragon, one of the nastiest lizards on Earth! How in the world did it get here, though? Komodo dragons aren't native to Japan! Maybe it escaped from a zoo, or a travelling circus, or something? #END :LOOK SELF You look yourself over for a moment. Wings, beak, talons...everything's there that should be. #IFNOT PREENED Your feathers are looking a little ratty, though, but then, it has been about a week since you last preened yourself. #END :LOOK SPRING An inviting-looking hot spring lies just behind the shrine. #IFNOT LIZARD END Unfortunately, the sunbathing Komodo Dragon is in your way! #END :LOOK WOODS A path to the side leads off into the woods. #IFNOT LIZARD END Unfortunately, the sunbathing Komodo Dragon is in your way! #END :LOOK SHRINE The shrine is right in front of you. #IFNOT LIZARD END Unfortunately, the sunbathing Komodo Dragon is in your way! #END :LOOK ENTRANCE The path behind you leads back to the shrine entrance. #END :TAKE LIZARD You flutter over to land on top of the Komodo dragon's head and, with a single swoop, slap your backpack over its head! You take a moment to congratulate yourself on catching your new pet before its powerful jaws rip your bag apart, then lock down upon your head. On the plus side, though, your swift death means you won't have to worry about whether he's had his shots or not, at least! #ACHIEVE 12 #DIE :OPEN PUDDING #IF PUDDINGOPENED PUDALT You carefully open the two containers the pudding mix is kept in. #SET PUDDINGOPENED #END :PUDALT As you look down at the pudding again, you hear the rapid clattering of talons against the stone path... #END :OPEN PAINTBRUSH #IF PAINTBRUSHOPENED OPENPAINTALT You take the bag off of the bristles for a moment. You're rewarded for your efforts with a large glop of purple paint falling on your foot. Ewwww.... #SET PAINTBRUSHOPENED #END :OPENPAINTALT After a moment of thought, you decide you'd rather not get any more paint on you like that. #END :OPEN UNICYCLE And what exactly on this contraption are you trying to open? It's a unicycle, not a bento box! #END :OPEN SAEKROM Try as you might, the tip of the pen refuses to come off, and no place to unscrew the shaft can be found. Your efforts to open a simple pen have been thwarted. Curses! #END :OPEN KEY2 I think you're a little confused here. This is used TO open stuff. #END :OPEN MILLET You pop open your packet of millet seeds. Sadly, feathers aren't able to keep a strong enough grip on such things, and you wind up dropping it to the ground, spilling the contents everywhere. #IF MILLETPAINTED OPENMILLETPAINT Not wanting to let them go to waste, you quickly gobble them all up. #TAKE MILLET #END :OPENMILLETPAINT Oh well, no real loss there...what on earth were you thinking coating them in paint, anyway? #TAKE MILLET #END :OPEN LIZARD You flutter over to the lizard's maw. Taking one side of its jaws in either wing, you heave with all your might and force its maw open! A moment later, your strength gives out, and the lizard's teeth come clamping down upon you, crushing the life out of you instantly. #DIE :OPEN SELF #IF SELFOPENED OPENSELFALT You spread your wings as wide you can, trying to creative an imposing visage to scare the lizard off with. It doesn't even seem to notice. Well phooey! #SET SELFOPENED #END :OPENSELFALT After that first failure, the desire to try such a foolish display again just isn't in you. #END :CLOSE PUDDING The container is already closed. #END :CLOSE PAINTBRUSH The bag on the bristles is already closed. #END :CLOSE UNICYCLE You see nowhere to fold the unicycle up, and so give up your efforts to compact it any further. #END :CLOSE SAEKROM How exactly did you plan on closing a mapping pen? #END :CLOSE KEY2 I think you're a little confused here. This is used TO close stuff. #END :CLOSE MILLET The packet is already closed. #END :CLOSE LIZARD Not wanting to give it a chance to bite you, you fly over to the lizard and wrap your wings around its muzzle with all your might. It takes less than a second to overpower you, then show you some real muscle as it chomps down on you. The life is crushed out of you in an instant. #DIE :CLOSE SELF #IF SELFCLOSED CLOSESELFALT Realizing that your beak has been agape ever since spotting the lizard, you quickly shut it. #SET SELFCLOSED #END :CLOSESELFALT Your beak is already closed. #END :PECK PUDDING Whoever came up with this brand of pudding mix did a terrible job of it. You express your disdain for their product by throwing it on the ground and pecking at the containers violently. Within moments the flurry of ingredients is strewn all over. With the mix itself no longer in any condition to endure your assault, you turn your attention on the idiotically-designed mixing spoon. #SHOW KABOOM Huh. It would appear that what you thought was a packet of Tat-P, a lesser-known pudding mix, was actually a packet of TATP, a form of high explosive. #ACHIEVE 9 What you mistook for a mixing spoon was, given the outcome, a detonator. Its revenge on you for your unjustified assault is brief, but completely thorough. Serves you right! #DIE :PECK PAINTBRUSH Congratulations, your inexplicable assault on the paintbrush not only leaves you guilty of damaging school property, but gets the tip of your beak splattered with paint. Nice work! #END :PECK UNICYCLE The rubber of the tires resists your attack, and striking the metal shaft succeeds only in making your beak hurt. Your antics, however, appear to have caught the lizard's attention, as he now looks genuinely annoyed. #END :PECK SAEKROM KTANG! KTANG! KTANG! While clearly nothing more than a mapping pen, it withstands your assault perfectly, ringing with a clarion call as beautiful as the heavens themselves with each strike of your beak. Fascinating! #END :PECK KEY2 You set your locker key on the floor and, for reasons unknown to anyone but you, peck away furiously at it. Midway into your seventh peck, however, you're overcome with the urge to cough, striking your beak into the ground around your key and reflexively closing it around it on the return stroke. Despite your best efforts, you cannot dislodge the key from your jaws. In a last-ditch effort, you strike it against a small rock on the ground. The good news to that is that it gets dislodged from your beak. The bad news is that it then gets lodged in your throat, and stays there as you choke to death on it. Serves you right for assaulting that poor, defenseless key like that! #DIE :PECK MILLET 'Duplicate label for coming here from USE MILLET ON SELF :PECKMILLET #IF MILLETPAINTED PECKPAINTEDMILLET No sense trying to deal with this situation on an empty stomach! You pop open your packet of millet and dig into it, enjoying every last scrumptious and nutritious bite. Yum! #ACHIEVE 10 #TAKE MILLET #END :PECKPAINTEDMILLET Feeling a bit hungry, you pop the packet of freshly-painted millet open once more. You lean your head back and dump the contents of the packet into your beak, munching happily. Unfortunately, the still-not-dried paint coating causes about half of the seeds to stick in your throat, blocking off your airway. The half that make it to your stomach proceed to give you a nasty case of lead poisoning, proving your suspicion of it not being a lead-based paint dead wrong. Between the two issues, your last meal does quite a handy job of finishing you off. Serves you right for using paint as a condiment in the first place! #DIE :PECK LIZARD You flap over to perch atop the Komodo dragon's head, pecking away furiously at its skull in a valiant effort to cave its skull in. Before you even get through a single scale of its hide, however, it snarls in annoyance and smacks you with its tail. The ferocity of the impact snaps your neck like a twig and drops you to the ground rather unceremoniously. It would appear that poultry is on the menu this afternoon! #DIE :PECK SELF You look your plumage over for a moment, and realize it's looking a little ratty. You take a moment to preen yourself. No sense coming to the shrine without looking your best, after all! #SET PREENED #IF PAINTEDSELF #ACHIEVE 11 #END :LEAVE PUDDING #TAKE PUDDING #IFNOT LIZARD LPZ You hand the pudding mix back to your classmates, fairly convinced it's not going to do any good against this thing. #END :LPZ With the lizard dealt with, you give the pudding mix back.

"I cannot fight this beast, Scarlet Knight. My powers are useless against it. Only the combined might of the Holy Spear and the Order of the Sephirot can slay this demonic serpent!" So, in other words, he's scared of lizards and wants you to deal with it instead? In any case, he's not taking it back, and throwing it away might make his antics even worse...better hold onto it. #END :LEAVE KEY2 Wait, you can't get rid of that! You're going to need that if you want to get into your locker at school! #END :LEAVE MILLET #TAKE MILLET #IFNOT LIZARD LMZ You ask your classmates to hold onto your packet of millet seeds. Having a victory meal to look forward to may increase your odds of success! #END :LMZ You decide you aren't hungry for them after all, and toss the packet of millet seeds in the trash. #END :LEAVE LIZARD Yes, leaving the lizard alone might be a good idea until you can formulate a plan to get rid of it. #END :LEAVE SELF #IF LEFTSELF1 LEAVESELF2 You sit down and assume a meditative stance, clearing your mind of the weirdness you just experienced. As you do, you find yourself beginning to become one with the universe. The overwhelming sensation proves a bit more than you can handle, and you get jolted back to reality. Still, that was a neat sensation while it lasted! You wonder if you can reach that state again... #SET LEFTSELF1 #END :LEAVESELF2 #IF LEFTSELF2 LEAVESELF3 You once again assume the meditative stance. The feeling of unity with the cosmos starts to return. You will yourself not to be startled by it again, but after a brief moment of celestial oneness you feel it slip again. Blast it all! You're sure you can hold onto that feeling for real if you just try a little harder. Maybe one more go will do it... #SET LEFTSELF2 #END :LEAVESELF3 Once more, you assume a meditative stance. Once more, you empty your mind of all distractions. And once more, the sensation of joining together with all of creation comes over you. You feel all thoughts leave your mind as a sense of universal peace washes over you. Thoughts of fear wash away. Thoughts of sadness wash away. Even thoughts of happiness wash away, all replaced with a calmness that completely stills your mind of all activity... ...which stills your body of all activity a moment later as all of your cardiovascular and respiratory functions cease, separating your last connection to the physical world. Your mortal tethers severed, your spirit drifts serenely off into eternity. #ACHIEVE 6 #DIE :COO LIZARD The ear-scouring cacophony that fills the air is apparently less than appealing to the lizard. It critiques your rendition of the latest ACooB42 hit by biting your throat. Perhaps skipping music class every day wasn't such a good idea after all. The venom from the creature's fangs quickly courses its way through your body, causing severe swelling in your diaphragm and rendering it impossible for you to breathe. Your classmates call for an ambulance, but by the time it arrives, the damage has been done. #DIE :COO SELF #IF LIZARD COOSELFLIZ You begin to belt out a song of victory in celebration of your success over getting rid of the deadly lizard. A moment later one of your classmates smacks you upside the head, prompting you to bring the celebrations to a quick end. #END :COOSELFLIZ To psyche yourself up in preparation for dealing with the lizard, you start singing a random little battle ditty. Much to the dismay of everybirdie around you, however, you appear to have the same sort of soothing birdsong as talons on a chalkboard. The lizard clamps its teeth around your head to drown out the racket at the source. The venom from the creature's fangs quickly courses its way through your body, causing severe swelling in your diaphragm and rendering it impossible for you to breathe. Your classmates call for an ambulance, but by the time it arrives, the damage has been done. #DIE :COO ANYTHING As beautiful as you feel your singing voice is, you're fairly certain that this thing can't appreciate it. #END :USE LIZARD :USELIZARD You grab the Komodo Dragon by the tail, attempting to drag it away. You make it all of 2 steps and a billionth of an inch before it flicks its tail and sends you flying into one of the shrine's many statuettes. The impact shatters your spine in a multitude of places, shutting down the communications between your brain and your internal organs. All in all, not the most graceful way to go. #DIE :USE SELF I think it's safe to say you've been doing that most of your life. #END :USE PAINTBRUSH PUDDING You take a few minutes to give the containers of pudding mix a fresh coating of paint. There, all nice and pretty! With the last of the paint from the brush used up, you see no further use for it and toss it into a nearby trash can. Just because it's a holiday is no reason for littering! #TAKE PAINTBRUSH #END :USE UNICYCLE PUDDING You spend several minutes trying in vain to find a means by which the two items could combine, before finally giving up. Your dreams of this hodgepodge collection of items forming a gestalt mecha lie dashed before you. Curses! #END :USE SAEKROM PUDDING You set the pudding mix containers on the ground, stacked one atop another. Then, the Holy Spear held firmly in your wing, you stab into the packaging with all your might! Sae'krom's holy magic floods into the mixture. #SHOW KABOOM The combined magics of Lord Pudi and the Crimson Angel of Judecca unleash a force not seen on the Earth since the day the dinosaurs were wiped out. In a titanic clash of holy and dark energies, your actions obliterate the komodo dragon...as well as everything within a 10-mile radius. Congratulations, you've just obliterated Littledove Hachiman City. Bravo! #ACHIEVE 2 #ENDING 2 #END :USE KEY2 PUDDING Getting a little bored waiting for the lizard to leave, are we? Whatever the reason, you poke the key into the pudding mix container marked "Part A." A little bit of it spills out. The same happens when you poke it into the container marked "Part B." Within moments, each is full of holes with its contents splayed all over, with some of it mixing. One of your pokes inadvertently scratches the mixing stick that was included with the pudding, and... wait, what was that click? #SHOW KABOOM Well well. Apparently someone got their packing labels mixed up, and accidentally put a label for Tat-P brand pudding onto a packet of TATP. #ACHIEVE 9 The high explosive you kept stabbing with your key proves to be sufficiently mixed, as the detonator succeeds in setting it off. Good news for everyone who missed the fireworks the night before, bad news for you. #DIE :USE MILLET PUDDING Millet seeds and pudding? Are you nuts!? EWWW! #END :USE ANYTHING PAINTBRUSH You know, this usually works the other way around. You apply paintbrush to canvas, not vice versa, after all. No wonder you failed art class last semester! #END :USE PAINTBRUSH UNICYCLE You stand the unicycle up on its seat, then spend the next few minutes giving it a shiny new paint job. When you're finished and the paint dries, it has been transformed from a drab gray to the same shade of purple as a ripe grape. With the last of the paint from the brush used up, you see no further use for it and toss it into a nearby trash can. Just because it's a holiday is no reason for littering! #TAKE PAINTBRUSH #END :USE SAEKROM UNICYCLE You poke the tire with the tip of the mapping pen a few times, but despite your best efforts, it fails to induce a leak. It does, however, seem to annoy the lizard a bit. #END :USE ANYTHING UNICYCLE Try as you might, you can't seem to teach this item to ride a unicycle. Drat! #END :USE ANYTHING SAEKROM You get the unnerving suspicion that the luzon won't appreciate you doing something like that to his mapping pen. Given how bonkers he clearly already is, you quickly change your mind on that course of action. #END :USE PAINTBRUSH KEY2 You give your locker key a beautiful, fresh coat of paint, turning it from drab brass to royal purple. Well, that should make finding it a lot easier in the morning! With the last of the paint from the brush used up, you see no further use for it and toss it into a nearby trash can.

Are you nuts!? EWWW! #END :USE PAINTBRUSH MILLET You pop open the packet of millet seeds and stick the paintbrush into it, stirring it around vigorously to give them all a good, even coat. While probably less than healthy, they now look tastier than ever! Satisfied with your work, you remove the paintbrush and reseal the package so as to seal in that fresh-paint smell for later.

Nice shot! #SET PUDDINGTHROWN #IFNOT PUDDINGOPENED NOPUDDINGFORYOU #END :NOPUDDINGFORYOU He looks down at it in a minor bit of confusion, bites the containers a few times, and then simply ignores them.

It thanks you for your generous gift by clamping its teeth around your head, the force of its jaws crushing your skull like an eggshell underfoot. Aww, how thoughtful of him! #DIE :USE UNICYCLE LIZARD For reasons nobody but you can fathom, you hurl the unicycle with all your might towards the lizard...which, given your comparative size, falls about a foot short. #TAKE UNICYCLE The komodo dragon looks over at the unicycle, its eyes widening.

Oh, thank you so much!" #IFNOT PUDDINGTHROWN SKIPLIZARDPUDDING #IFNOT PUDDINGRETURNABLE SKIPLIZARDPUDDING After doing a few wheelie-hops over you and your classmates, the komodo dragon drops the containers of pudding mix you threw at it earlier back at your feet.

Farewell!" #CLEAR PUDDINGTHROWN #CLEAR PUDDINGRETURNABLE #GIVE PUDDING :SKIPLIZARDPUDDING #CLEAR LIZARD #SPRITE LIZARD HIDE With that, it hops up on the unicycle and pedals off into the woods. ...It raises a good question, though; where DID your classmates get that unicycle from? Oh well, the creature is gone now, so that's that sorted! The path is now safe and clear for you to continue. #SPRITE ANGHEL SHOW With the Black Serpent of Agony gone, the luzon walks up to you and kneels. "I apologize for my foolishness earlier...I had forgotten that it was the way of the Knights of the Sephirot to resolve their disputes peacefully." "Sae'krom's power was not needed here today, after all. Please forgive my transgression. I shall return the Holy Spear to its resting place at once!" You hand the mapping pen back to the Filipino bird, who darts off into the distance. Well, that was...interesting, I guess? #SPRITE ANGHEL HIDE #TAKE SAEKROM #END :USE SAEKROM LIZARD With a flourish, you charge into combat with the Black Serpent of Agony. You thrust the Holy Spear into the beast's eye, flooding its demonic body with Sae'krom's holy light. It rears back from the pain, exposing its underbelly...there, you see its weak point! Your final blow strikes true, piercing up into the creature's black heart! ...At which point its deceased body, somewhat larger and significantly heavier than your own, collapses on top of you. By the time your classmates are able to pull it off of you, your epic battle has concluded in a draw. Your heroism this day shall not be forgotten, but alas, your tale has ended. Well done, Scarlet Knight of the Sephirot. #ACHIEVE 1 #ENDING 1 #END :USE KEY2 LIZARD You flap over to the lizard, perching yourself on its head with your locker key firmly gripped in your beak. With a sharp peck and twist of the neck, you jab it into the creature's neck to see if you can unlock its head and remove it. The only thing you succeed in unlocking is a mass of lizard-induced violence that quickly reduces you to a splattered smear on the shrine's walkway. Way to go, genius! #DIE :USE MILLET LIZARD You pop open the packet of millet seeds and toss them over in the lizard's general direction. Hope you weren't planning on having that for lunch later. A few of the seeds spray the creature's face, inducing a snarl of discontent. Beyond that, however, it appears to be completely ignoring them and, to a much more relieving extent, you. #TAKE MILLET #END :USE PUDDING SELF #IF LIZARD No sense trying to deal with this creature on an empty stomach!

Apparently someone got their packing labels mixed up, and accidentally put a label for Tat-P brand pudding onto a packet of TATP. #ACHIEVE 9 The high explosive you just whipped together works beautifully, as the detonator you stirred it with goes off and detonates the entire mixture right in front of your face. #IF LIZARD To your credit, the komodo dragon is now gone! ...Of course, the same can be said of you, your classmates, and a better part of the shrine as well. #DIE :USE PAINTBRUSH SELF You take a moment to look yourself over, and decide that the current color of your plumage could use a little work.

In a display of remarkably horrid luck, you manage to fall in just the right direction to impale yourself on the mapping pen that luzon gave you! In a flash, you feel Sae'krom's holy magic flood into you, erasing the sin from your spirit as quickly as it erases the life from your body. At least your passing is a peaceful one. #DIE :USE SAEKROM SELF Uncertain of whether the mapping pen would be able to wound that Komodo dragon, you test it out by trying to poke yourself in the chest with it.

Your classmates call for an ambulance, but by the time it arrives, the damage has been done. #DIE :MOVE SPRING #IF LIZARD LIZARDSNEAK Your classmates chirp loudly at you, wondering where in the world you're heading off to. The whole point of this trip was to go to the shrine, wasn't it? Their protests slowly fade away as you make your way behind the building and arrive at the hot springs. #SHOW SPRING The soothing scent of the steaming spring waters look quite inviting! You abandon all sense of caution and, charging past a sign mentioning something about the spring being closed, leap into the water. Cannonball!! It's about half a second before impact that you remember that you can't swim, and about half a second after impact that you realize that the water's a lot hotter than you thought. Apparently the sign you ran past was warning against going into the water due to geothermal abnormalities leaving the waters dangerously hot.

Their protests slowly fade away as you make your way down the path and into the forest, following the trail left by the lizard's unicycle. #SHOW WOODS You follow the mono-wheeled trail for almost half an hour, but eventually you lose track of where the komodo dragon rode off to. Given how much of a menace it was being out in the shrine, this is probably for the best. It was in a pleasant mood after getting its ride back, but who knows how long that would have lasted? Giving up your pursuit, you turn around and, tracing the same muddy tire track in reverse, work your way back to where your classmates await, still wanting to know where you wandered off to.

This could get gruesome! The lizard lunges at the fantail violently, missing by mere centimeters. Its momentum sends it flying into one of the statues, which it recoils off of. "Cooo! Cooo coo coooo!" (Okosan shall not be defeated by one such as you! Finishing move!)" The fantail rears back, readying for a charge, then bolts forward, catching the lizard in the gut with a spiraling headbutt that quickly turns vertical! "COOOO!!" (OKO!!) "COOOO!!!" (MAGNUM!!!) "COOOOOO!!!!!" (BLITZ!!!!!) #SPRITE LIZARD HIDE The force of the attack launches the lizard hundreds of feet into the air! Moments later... #SHOW KABOOM ...The sky, particularly around the lizard, is enveloped in a colossal explosion. Holy crap that was epic! ...But, how did he make it explode like that? And for that matter, where'd the pudding mix you threw to it go? ...And where'd the fantail run off to? Well, never mind those little details. That was way more awesome than anything else that could happen today. #SHOW SHRINE With the coast clear, you and your classmates head back home. You can't wait to put the details about what happened on the internet! #ACHIEVE 4 #ENDING 4 #END :OKOSCENARIO2 Before you can decide what to do next, you see a fantail dove run into the shrine grounds. #SPRITE OKOSAN SHOW #IF PUDDINGSPILLED OKOSC2ALT His attention seems focused squarely on the open packet of pudding mix that you're holding! "Cooooo coo cooo!" (Okosan senses pudding in this location!) The fantail gives you no chance to defend yourself as he smashes against you in a flying headbutt, knocking the pudding mix out of your backpack! #OKOSC2JOIN :OKOSC2ALT His attention seems focused squarely on the pudding mix at your feet! "Cooooo coo cooo!" (Okosan senses pudding in this location!) The fantail gives you no chance to defend yourself as he smashes against you in a flying headbutt, then scoops up the pudding mix and runs out of sight! :OKOSC2JOIN As you get up, you see him run off into towards the horizon, at speeds you haven't seen since the last sci-fi marathon! #SHOW KABOOM Dusting yourself off, you hear a deafening blast off in the distance.. Well, looks like he was wrong...apparently that wasn't pudding after all. #SHOW SHRINE A moment later, the same fantail comes racing back to you, looking slightly singed. #SPRITE OKOSANSINGED SHOW "Coooooooo!" (Okosan has been lied to! Deceived! That was no pudding!) Without warning, he strikes you with his wing. Geez, what did you do to deserve that!? "Cooo coo coooooo cooooo!" (It seems Okosan will have to continue his quest once more. The true pudding will be his one day! It will!) #SPRITE OKOSANSINGED HIDE And with that, he's off. After taking a moment to regain your senses and work out what the blazes just happened, you realize that everybody else in the area, including your classmates, has long since left. Apparently that was too much weirdness for anyone but you to handle. You shrug, make your way over to the shrine, leave your wish, ring the bell, and head home. Your parents are not going to believe it when you tell them this later... #ACHIEVE 3 #ENDING 3 #END :MOVE SELF With a showbirdlike flourish, you spread your wings and perform a backflip worthy of a Pigeolympic-class gymnast. #IF LIZARD The lizard remains unimpressed. #IFNOT LIZARD Nobody seems to notice. #END :TAKE SELF #IF TAKENSELF SUPERTAKESELF Inquisitively, you crawl into your own backpack. #SHOW BLANK It's dark in here, and it's full of bits of fluff of uncertain origin. #SHOW SHRINE #IF LIZARD #SPRITE LIZARD SHOW #SET TAKENSELF You shudder and crawl out, deciding not to try that again. #END :SUPERTAKESELF This time, you decide to put yourself in your backpack while still wearing it. #SHOW VORTEX The resultant space-time paradox opens a black hole that swallows the universe. #IF LIZARD Still, you got rid of the lizard - nice going! #DIE :MOVE LIZARD #IF MV4 There's a reason nobirdie wants to go near that thing! #IF MV4 END That would be almost as bad an idea as going to the school infirmary alone! #IF MV1 MV1 #SET MV1 #END :MV1 At midnight. #IF MV2 MV2 #SET MV2 #END :MV2 While wearing a hat saying "FRESH MEAT". #IF MV3 MV3 #SET MV3 #END :MV3 #SPRITE SHUU SHOW HOHOHO!!! #SPRITE SHUU HIDE #SET MV4 #END :DEATHACHIEVEMENT #ACHIEVE 8 #END :LIGHTACHIEVEMENT #ACHIEVE 7 #END
