Outside the Clocktower

Everyone turns towards Siffrin.


Mirabelle (happy1) Siffrin! You're here!

Isabeau (hahaha2) We were waiting for you! Let's go inside!

Isabeau (boo1) I am SOOOOO hungry.


(You're pretty hungry yourself.)


Bonnie jumps up and down.


Bonnie (happy1) I brought back a bunch of food! Let's go, let's go!!!


Everyone starts walking into the Clocktower as the screen fades out.



Main Cutscene

After Samosas

Second time only

[Pst, stardust...]


(As you're about to take another samosa to munch on, you hear Loop's voice, and try not to jump.)


[Heh, sorry, sorry!]

[So, here again, huh? Don't worry, you'll get to zone out during this entire event if you want. But there is something...]

[You're able to zone through most conversations you've seen at least once, yes... But some of them might be slightly different!]

[Oh, don't stress out about it. Don't worry, if it was REALLY important, you'd stop zoning out immediately. But remember that just because you can zone out, doesn't mean the events will be exactly the same!]

[So... To zone out, and miss some small things, or to listen to it all again? What a dilemma!]

[That's all! Bye, stardust~!]


(Hm...)

(You go back to your samosa.)


Image ID: Various half eaten foods and a steaming kettle laid out on a table. Siffrin's hand peeks into the frame, reaching for the last samosa. End ID.

Isabeau Phew, Bonbon...

Image ID: Odile, Isabeau, Bonnie, Mirabelle, and Siffrin talk after eating. End ID.

Isabeau That was DE-LI-CIOUS!

Odile You keep getting better at cooking, Boniface. Those samosas were delicious.

Bonnie Really? It wasn't bad? You liked it?

Bonnie I-I MEAN, OF COURSE IT WAS DELICIOUS. I'm a master cooker, you know!!!

Odile Chef.

Bonnie I'm a chef cooker!!!

Mirabelle That was the perfect meal, Bonnie! We'll all sleep well tonight and be full of energy tomorrow!

Isabeau It was almost too much, to be honest... I don't think I can move...


First time

(Was it too much?)

(You could've eaten more...)


Isabeau Aw, Sif, are you still hungry?

Bonnie Frin, you ate a lot, huh!!! You liked my cooking a lot, huh!!!

Bonnie Here, have some more food since you're so hungry and like my cooking so much.


(Bonnie gives you one (1) carrot slice.)


(Chomp.)


Odile How can you still eat... How can such a small body eat that much...

Siffrin "I'm a growing kid."

Mirabelle A growing kid that drinks alcohol?!?

Isabeau You're older than most of the people here?!?


(You wink cutely.)


Second time

(You didn't eat much this time.)

(Your stomach feels weird...)


Bonnie ...You... You didn't like it?

Bonnie ...


(Wuh oh.)


Siffrin "I'm just not very hungry."

Bonnie But you're always hungry?!?


(WUH OH.)


Siffrin "I, uh, may have eaten some bread earlier."

Mirabelle Siffrin!

Odile How could you do this to poor Boniface.

Odile Look at them. They're pouting so hard they're about to explode.

Bonnie MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Bonnie KABOOM!!!!!!!

Bonnie I exploded.

Bonnie Siffrin was destroyed on impact.

Odile A beautiful explosion.

Mirabelle Siffrin... You died because of your hubris...

Siffrin (How regrettable.) "Was it just me that died?"

Bonnie Yes. You were the only casualty.


(That's fine then.)

(You still dramatically fall over for good measure.)


Siffrin "No... How could this happen..."

Mirabelle Hehehe...


ACT 2

(You ate all the food on your plate and more, but you're still hungry...)

(You try not to show it, though.)

(The food always tastes the same.)

(You eat anyway.)

Mirabelle It hasn't always been easy, but meeting you all...

Mirabelle ... I know... I--

Image ID: Mirabelle looks back at the viewer, sad and almost in disbelief. End ID.

Odile Of course I do. We've come this far, after all.

    Isabeau ...  Okay!

(Soon, you'll close your eyes, and open them, and everyone's waking up.)
