For a sweet moment, the great assortment of whispers stop, melting away. The voices have been constantly telling you to do innovative, obvious, or silly things. Silence which feels like it had been a day or two before they all start coming back.

During that time you behold the temple of Rong you have found. They are rarely ever seen by people not of their religion, and are few and scattered all over the world, hidden inside volcanoes and deep underground. Rong's beast was the dragon. An aggressive beast of flame, just like he himself was.

Your mind abruptly derails from the temple in front of you when you hear an overly cheery masculine voice. He has a very soft spoken and whimsical voice, with an underlying sprinkle of what could either be irritation or amusement.

"It's nice of you to come here, Asali. Finally a place you aren't risking death for a short while. Hurry on into the temple, many needs to be done before I can help you." He says, giving a soft chortle after speaking. You recognize the voice, but you don't know who it is.

Naturally you gaze around trying to pinpoint where the voice's origin happened to be, but there was nobody around, the voice could be in your head as well. Isn’t that just what you need, more voices. The voice no longer spoke, but you could almost feel an unrelenting grin upon you.

Let's inspect the area first. What's that brown stuff near the wall?

You decide to wait on listening to the voice and kick some mulch spread around the ground. You find an arrow.

Exits are MINE, TEMPLE, and RIGHT.

>>58796
Enter TEMPLE.

Go into the temple.

>>58796

If the arrow leads nowhere, go right.

Enter ominous temple.

>>58805

You dismiss the arrow and go up the stairs and enter the temple. There's a giant statue of Rong chained along the fountain, which is no longer running.

Check the box on the left. Also look into the fountain to see if there's something under the water. Also admire the statue.

You don't find Rong very admirable in either beliefs or appearance, and the water is empty to the best of your senses. You start towards that first aid kit.

You are stopped by being pegged with a rock. You don't really feel that hurt, and you don't bleed, but you do know you were just hit with a thrown object.

>>58883

Teleport next to the box, as to appear behind whoever threw that. Demand to know what's up.

You should have seen that coming and ducked, miss Precognition.

Commit Sepukku for your massive failure.

Although pretty irritated at the rock thing, you hold your arms out in a non-threatening manner.

"Come on, I'm not in here to hurt you. You're the first... normal seeming person I have seen in a while."

He is curled up in the corner, hiding against the side of the fountain, shivering. He opens his mouth, no sound comes out. He slowly rises up to his digigrade feet, and hides his face with his hands.

>>58923

Hug interupted by leapfrog.

The new creature goes to the sand, which was out of place, possibly specifically for him to play in.

He writes a word in the sand and looks back to you excited.

You give him the bucket and Stick with no hesitation. Eden takes the stick and begins to clean it up with a lot of effort. He then takes it in his mouth and blows a cloud out.

He shakes it and gives a single toot of his instrument. Soft and low pitched. He seems extremely ecstatic and snuggles the bucket. Eyes sliding from the flute to the bucket. His cheeks even flush, just watching the bucket with adoration.

"Uh, you're welcome?" You state, not entirely expecting either of those reactions. At least you improved his mood.

Well isn't that adorable. :D

Okay uh, politely interrupt and ask him if he knows his way around the temple? Also ask if the first aid kit is his.

Eden gives you a strange metallic blue piece, as well as a black mushroom. They seem to be his exchange for what he wanted. He writes a message in the sand and goes to play music on the fountain.

"Is that first aid kit yours?" You ask, curious. He shrugs and wriggles against his bucket, continuing to play. He doesn't care at the very least.

>10 points. Stronger power?
I suppose it's worth a try? Offer Eden 10 points.

Well. Good, I guess?

Open the first aid kit and see what can be done.

>>59081
10 points.. in the fountain? Would be nice if it works.

>>59081
Upgrade, huh.

Buy a Precognition upgrade. It'd be a lot more helpful if more context was shown, or if it recharged faster. Warp seems pretty functional already, despite those damned =w= faces.

You give Eden 10 points, and he begins to play a very uplifting song. His eyes glow as he plays the music. Drawing Asali up into the air as her hold over her warping moves to the next level...

[ Warp level 2: ]
>1/6 chance to recover is now 1/3
>Range is extended some.

Once the song ends, Asali slowly floats back to her feet, and the orange aura fades away.

"Oh wow, thank you, Eden!..." Eden steps over and draws something in the sand.

>>59127
Immediately waste your newly increased powers by warping to the first aid kit :V
Or just walk there, but that's hardly any fun.

Could you take a closer look at that drawing he made in the sand? What's it look like?

Dunno if it's a Firefox thing, but F5 doesn't reloop it. I did manage to get it to loop again with ctrl+F5. *shrug* If it's an artistic decision, okay, but I'd still prefer a loop after a few seconds' pause. I expand all images when reading down a quest, so by the time I get there, the .gif's already done and I see the ending image.

>>59451
Cool kid browsers don't animate until you scroll to the image, but I can see that being an issue. Though F5 not working is nothing more than a massive flaw.

But yeah, it's cool. I can understand it not looping, and now that I know CTRL+F5 works to force a loop, I can just use that if need be.

Mines don't seem much different than they did before, but nevertheless the moment you walk out of the temple your heart sinks. The same darkness, the same stagnant air, the same blue ore awaiting you.

It's about time you got out of this dumpy mountain, now what's your game plan?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think we haven't opened yet the first aid kit. Open it to see what's inside.

The arm still feels really odd. Numb and almost as if it wasn't present, but at the same time there's an extrasensory sense replacing what once was. It doesn't seem to be recovering at all.

The bandages would probably look a whole lot better, and wrap and protect your arm in a more proper manner since currently you are covered in Stripped Miner's Jumpsuit.

>>60654
Well, might as well change into the new bandages, if it works better. Keep the old ones in the pocket.

Wrap your arm in bandages like a mummy.

The bandages are too weak to handle the bridge's 'engine,' either very long, or at all. That's a pretty big risk to take.

"AND WHO COULDN'T BE LOUD WITH PRICES THIS LOW?! I SURE HOPE YOU CAME TO BUY, THERE ARE LINES OF PEOPLE WAITING TO LET THESE DEALS OFF MY HANDS. LINES! NOW HOW CAN I HELP YO--IS THAT A LIMITED EDITION CRANK-ME-UP NEVER-DIE FLASHLIGHT? I WILL TRADE YOU FOR THESE INCREDIBLY USEFUL AUSPEX GOGGLES."

>>62038
"And what's the normal price of Auspex Goggles?"

Doesn't seem like such a good deal. Ask about the googles, they don't sound more useful than a flashlight.

"What good are goggles? I don't need them." You state, figuring you may need to go into the dark.

"HA, YOU SAY THAT NOW. ONCE YOU HAVE HAD THEM YOU WILL WONDER WHAT YOU EVER DID WITHOUT THEM! ESPECIALLY FOR SOMEONE WITH AS LITTLE TRAINING AS YOU. A ZAKIYA WITH ONE LOW LEVEL ABILITY? SECOND LEVEL WARP?! MOST ADULT SHERBERT CLANSMEN HAVE MASTERED THAT BY NOW. THESE GOGGLES ARE SO INVALUABLE! DARKNESS WON'T CATCH YOU OFF GUARD ANYMORE, PLUS YOU'LL LOOK PRETTY AWESOME. FUCK, MAYBE I SHOULD JUST KEEP THEM, YOU SMARTASS."

>>62042
Well if they let you see in the dark, it sounds like a good trade. Why is he willing to trade them though?

>>62043

He said the flashlight

>>62042

Ask him to let you try them first.

You agree to trade if he allows you to try them. You put them on and it scans your eyes for a moment. The entire scene goes into a red shift as a series of little characters display as it calibrates. Once it is done the scene clears up. You can see fine, in fact, far more clear. The goggles adjusting to a comfortable medium in response to what's in sight, and linked to Asali.

"I can see forever." You state, serious faced. IKIT stands there waiting. You can tell that these goggles do more than you can tell right now. "So, why are you giving this away for a flashlight?"

"I KNOW THE CREATOR OF THEM, WE GO WAY BACK. A DYNASTY BUILT FROM A FARM, THEY WERE THE GOOD DAYS."

You're not sure you want to know the details.

I'm sure we're going to regret this later... but ok, trade the googles for the flashlight.

Also ask if he has any other useful item at LOW PRICE to sell/barter.

Ask Ikit about a warranty.

At least TRY to ask if this HONEST businessman has anything else in stock/ would want to trade anything else with you.
If not, it may not hurt to ask about the area, he seems to be a local.

You ask about goods, he provides his limited selection of HIGH QUALITY GOODS.

You ask about a warranty, "WHY WOULD SOMEONE SO HONEST NEED TO SELL A WARRANTY AS WELL, WHY SPEND MORE MONEY?" You are not comforted.

You ask about trading, "BRING ME A RAINBOW LEAF, BUBBLE DUST, OR THE TUSK OF A NAVIABULL AND WE'LL TALK.

You ask about Wormwood Island, "BUY SOMETHING FIRST."

Lookin' awesome there. Ask if the goggles can see in the dark as well.

Considering that you can only buy this "Rainbow Buster", you may as well ask what it's useful for.

What's a Rainbow Buster?
I assume Fireslider is some sort of fancy drink.
The rare yellow jewel is either a major plot item or a round piece of glass.

"What is a Rainbow Buster?" You ask the rat.

"WHY IT IS A (ILLEGAL) BEAUTIFUL FIREWORK! IT EXPLODES HUGE WITH A DISPLAY OF RAINBOWS AND STARS. WHO KNOWS WHEN YOU'LL NEED THAT. I COULD THINK OF A MILLION USES." He says this while mimicking an explosion by leaping in the air and extending his limbs, never once breaking his HONEST GRIN.

It sounds so incredibly useless, we may as well buy it.

...let him show you all the stuff, grab it and teleport out of the store :awesome:.

Leave and seek HONEST PAYMENT.

Fantasize for a moment about being filthy rich.
Agree to trade the flashlight for the neat goggles.
Then leave to acquire more funds.
Examine the floor hatch before leaving.

Let's not buy that potentially useless waste of money unless we find a use for it.

You purchase the Rainbow Buster. You explain that's all you have for the moment and you'll come back when you can get the rest. You ask about Wormwood Island again.

"THIS PLACE WAS AN ISLAND OF PROFIT AND RESOURCES. THEN A BLACK PLAGUE KILLED EVERYONE, ABOUT. COULDN'T KILL IKIT. I THINK IT DIED, BUT AT THE VERY LEAST IT NEVER BOTHERED ME AGAIN."

You nod and want to exit, but you approach the hatch, but are stopped by IKIT who is getting down off the counter to work somewhere below the counter.

"VALUED CUSTOMERS ONLY, COME BACK WHEN YOU CAN AFFORD TO BE VALUABLE."

Where to next?

Check out the town. IF there are people left that didn't get killed by that plague IKIT talked about, then we might find them there.
And even if not, we might find some useful stuff.

Town. If everyone's dead there'll be all kinds of shit to loot.
It's honest business, that i- wait. Shit.

>>62065
Hmm. The way Ikit spoke about that plague makes me think this isn't a disease, but some kind of monster.

Well keep that firework handy, it could double as a weapon in a pinch.

To town it is.

Town first, it seems like an okay idea.

You begin to enter the town.
