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

The eyes of the puppet head suddenly light up and the jaws open wide with a loud CLANKing sound. Deep inside the head, where you couldn't reach before, you see a wooden cutout shaped like a hot air balloon.

You have received [Hot Air Balloon Inset]!

[Woo! Will collect that.]

[And, hm, okay.]

[Let's PUT THESE PARTS TOGETHER for the helpful puppet. Nothing can go wrong with this right.]

As the puppet pieces are assembled, you will likely notice they resemble a... boy? Girl? This person either way.

[Ooooooh.]

....

[Is the puppet still when assembled? Is there an on switch.]

The puppet stares lifelessly at the ground and doesn't appear to have any switches.

[....what if I give it some pink liquid.]

The doll starts to jerk to life, trying to get to its feet to stand on its own. Its appearance continues to be mostly human, doll features still apparent.

[She moves to help the doll stand.] Hello?

It stares at you silently in response.

How are you feeling?

I mean, I think you can still nod?

It... nods. Or its head tips forward and it slowly corrects this.

Either or.

Do you know how else I could help you?

It stares at you blankly, giving that same slow nod again.

....

[Is there paper and a pen?]

Can you write it down?

There are plenty of spare scraps of paper around, but there don't appear to be any pens or pencils in this room.

It... stares at you blankly.

....I'm gonna get you a pencil.

[And while doing that....well, she has a hot air balloon. We can go to the other room to raid desk and open it!]

You return to the other room and place the inset on the green desk. The lid opens to reveal a few pencils, as well as a small wooden statue.

You have received [Wooden Owlet]!

[Wooden Owlet Get! She will also grab some pencils.]

[Okay, she will go back into the water and see not!Princess.]

Would this help? [Holds out the Wooden Owlet.] Or can you write? [And a pencil.]

She stares blankly at the owlet, and for a long time, at the pencil before jerkily reaching out with a hand for it.

[She will hold it out to her.]

[Then put down the paper somewhere to write.]

The puppet makes its way to the paper in jerky movements, and when it leans in to write it... makes jerky scribbles on the paper more than anything else. The writing is illegible.
