princesssavvy | Heart Game Round 4

This is just on loop this entire run okay.

You find yourselves standing in a large room that… appears to be swaying slightly, the longer you stand there the more you seem to notice it. A quick look out the window reveals an open ocean, you must be on a ship! I hope you don't get seasick! But it's eerily quiet in here, the only sounds coming from anyone else occupying the room with you. There is only [one door visible in the room], the faint sound of voices just barely penetrating through the door. A small letter sits on the door, which reads:

To meet Captain Île Flottante, bring a treasure worthy enough to earn your place among the crew.

Scattered around the room are [various map charting and navigation tools], along with [basic weaponry]. Swords, spears, shields, bows and arrows, even a few old-style flintlock guns. They all look clean and well-used.

The most eye-attracting piece though is a [large red crystal] atop a stone pedestal sits in the middle of the room, a glowing golden lamp sitting atop it. The three sides of the crystal pillar shimmer with a golden light, faintly glowing with different shapes and a description underneath:

The Silver Tiara

Legends say this tiara belonged to the princess of a queendom who unfortunately perished at a young age. Whomsoever holds this tiara may make their claim as the ruler of the queendom, which is why the tiara stands under heavy guard by an invading kingdom. Break in and retrieve the tiara, so it may be returned to its rightful owner.

The Bronze Goblet

Legends say this goblet was the treasured item of a band of heroes who faced numerous foes together. The goblet represented their bond and traveled wherever the band did, but one day tragedy struck and their boat sank. Though the heroes all survived, the goblet was lost to the sea. New rumors have emerged saying that a recently beached ship might just be the lost ship of heroes. Investigate the beached ship and find the goblet so it can be returned to the heroes for one more shared drink.

The Crystal Dagger

Legends say this cursed dagger was used to end the life of a tyrant queen and plunged a queendom into ruin. A band of thieves have taken up residence in the ruins and plan to sell the dagger to the highest bidder. Travel to the ruined queendom and find the dagger before it can be used to ruin another.

Instinctively, you know that putting your hand against one of the sides of the pillar will begin your treasure hunt. Take the time you need to prepare yourself before heading out.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

You try to lift the lid of the desk to check the compartment, but find it sealed! On the lid of the desk, you can make out an indention on the desk that looks vaguely in the shape of a hot air balloon. Looks like something could go here... ?

[Should I cheat-]

[Eh, not yet, harder with desks without breaking them.]

[Papers on the yellow desk!]

The papers on the yellow desk seem to all be notes written with a very careful hand. The notes are varied, covering topics like hunting, fishing, manning various positions on a pirate ship, hand-to-hand combat...

[...WHY DO YOU TEMPT ME WITH ALL THIS INFORMATION ABOUT ANOTHER PLACE.]

[T-tries to open the desk.]

You try to lift the lid of the desk to check the compartment, but find it sealed as well! On the lid of the desk, you can make out an indention on the desk that looks vaguely in the shape of a pirate ship. Looks like something could go here... ?

[Hmmm, still wait to cheat.]

[Let's look at the chalkboard and abacus.]

The chalkboard has various different handwritings on it, listing different projects. There's one about building a hot air balloon, one about buying a set of tools, one about learning more recipes, another about teas... It looks like a collection of thoughts.

The abacus sits gloriously in front of the window, and whoever owns it... appears to have no idea how an abacus actually works. There are nine horizontal rows, and carved into the wood on the left side are a list of names.

Milly
Didi
Riri
Mimi
GaoGao
Lala
Vivi
ChaCha
Princess
Flow

There are four beads on each row, all sitting in the center of their respective rows.

Can this even really be called an abacus...?

[Oooooh. An more details about that hot air balloon?]

[.....huh.]

[What if she moves one of Flow's beads all the way to the right.]

There's a word scribbled under the hot air balloon project that reads 'Machine Room'.

You move the beads all the way to the right... and nothing happens.

[So she needs to find a Machine Room.]

[....hmmmm.]

[She'll move them back to the middle. All right, time to dive into the water again! Is that other light still there?]

It is, glowing warmly in the water.

Vivi is also there, scowling up at her from deeper in the water.

[She waves at her and goes to the other glowing room.]

Into the next hole you go...
