Frozen Gardener

First time:

(Someone frozen in time.)

Subsequent times, and subsequent interactions:

(Mirabelle's gardening classmate, frozen in time.)


Mirabelle (awawa1): Oh, that's...!

Mirabelle (anxious3): That's one of the House's cooks. She was in the gardening class with me...

Mirabelle (hm3): She was taking the class to learn how to grow tasty vegetables! She often made soup with the veggies she made...

Mirabelle (haha1): Hehe, once, she said she needed some help breaking apart a turnip she grew, to make it into a soup, so we told her to bring it to class and we'd all help her.

Mirabelle (happy2): And next class, she brought the biggest turnip I'd ever seen! She had trouble even fitting it through the door!

Mirabelle (happy1): We spent the entire class trying to cut it, it was that big!

Mirabelle (happy1): Hehe...

Mirabelle (sad2): ...

Bonnie (sad1): ...

Bonnie (happy2): How was the turnip?

Mirabelle (happy1): Oh, it tasted awful.

Mirabelle (awkward1): But since she's a cook and really particular about taste, we had to act as if it was delicious.

Mirabelle (happy1): Thank Change I was taking an acting class too!

Closet

(The closet is filled with gardening supplies.)

(And...)


If you already have the Gardening Scissors.


If you don't:

(You got the GARDEN SCISSORS!)

(You put the Garden Scissors in your pocket to equip later.)


Regardless:

(There's some gardening books about rare and powerful plants.)


Regular:

(None of them catch your eye.)


During Loopquest, after reading the Wish Craft book in the Storage Room:

(Powerful plants... Somehow, you're reminded of the Favor Tree.)

(...One of the books has a section on Favor Trees, but it's pretty useless.)

(The bottom of the page says "For more information on this topic, check out...")

(You can't read the title they're recommending.)

(They do mention the cover of the book they're recommending has a picture of a big, sparkly tree.)

(Can you find that book somewhere...?)


Repeated interaction:

(The closet is filled with gardening supplies.)


Big plants

(Very big plants.)

(...And some tonics? This room is a mess.)

(You pick up the tonics.)

(You got two SUPER SOUR TONICS!)

(You got one SWEET TONIC!)

(You give them to Bonnie for safekeeping.)


Repeated interaction:

(Very big plants.)


Tiny plants

(Some tiny frozen plants.)

(They look healthy... Whoever took care of them before they got frozen did a good job.)


Mirabelle's plant

(A tiny dying plant.)




"This plant looks like it's dying."

Bonnie (lol2): It looks all pathetic!

Isabeau (fufufu1): Very sad. Very mistreated. Who would do this.

Mirabelle (anxious3): I-it's mine... I was taking a gardening class before the King attacked...



Isabeau (huhwah1): CRAB

Bonnie (zomg): CRAB!!!


"This plant looks tiny and cute."

Isabeau (wonder2): I guess?

Bonnie (serious1): No it's not.

Isabeau (hahaha2): No, no, I see what Sif means! There's a certain charm to it!

Isabeau (fufufu1): It's cute. I hope it grows up to be big and strong.

Bonnie (serious1): It better.

Bonnie (stop!1): You hear me, plant? I believe in yoU! Grow big and strong!!!

Mirabelle (happy4): ...


(You smile.)


Repeated interaction:

(Mirabelle's tiny dying plant.)

Touch Therapy

Full page: Touch Therapy

When passing through all the way to where the items are, a small event plays out when passing by the tight spot by the table again.

First time:

(WOW there's no place to pass through with everyone following you.)

(You try your best to pass through the tight space between your [friends/allies/family members], the tables, and the wall.)


Second time:

(You try your best to pass through the tight space between your [friends/allies/family members], the tables, and the wall.)

(As you pass through, you realize, not for the first time in this situation, that everyone unconsciously makes sure to not touch you any more than necessary.)

(It's not the best feeling, but there must be a reason they're not touching you, so you leave it alone.)


Third time:

(While passing through, you stumble and accidentally bump against Odile.)

(You jump and yelp.)


Isabeau (huh1): Woah!

Odile (huh1): Oh, sorry, Siffrin.

Siffrin (awkward1): "I, uh, I just wasn't--"

Odile (lol2): Ha! Don't worry, you're good.

Odile (lol4): We are used to your weird aversion to touch.


(Your what?)


Fourth time:

(Once again, you can tell that people make sure to give you some space.)

(Steeling yourself, you take a deep breath, and brush against everyone softly.)

(...)

(What a rush!)


Fifth time:

(While passing through, you take a deep breath, and--)


Isabeau (huhwah1): Wah!!!

Isabeau (blush3): D-Don't poke my sides, Sif!!! I'm ticklish!!!


(Oh, that's wonderful information to have.)

(You feel lightheaded.)


Sixth time:

(While passing through, you take a deep breath, and--)


Mirabelle (happy1): !


(As you gently poke her, she pokes you back.)

(Your cheeks feel warm.)


Seventh time:

(While passing through, you take a deep breath, and--)


Odile (what2): ...


(You quickly poked Odile's side.)

(Beyond throwing you a look, she doesn't react.)

(You try not to smile.)


Eighth time:

(While passing through, you take a deep breath, and--)

(Poke.)


Bonnie (serious1): Poke my cheek again and die.


(Yep, message received.)

(You giggle under your breath.)


Ninth time:

The game forcefully keeps you at touch 9 if you are in ACT 2, meaning you cannot progress until ACT 3.


ACT 2:

(While passing through, you discreetly touch everyone.)

(You're getting better at this!)

ACT 3 & 4:

(As you pass through the tight space between the tables and the wall, you brush against everyone.)

(Touch touch touch touch.)

(You try to get some human contact every loop, even if it's discreetly like this.)


Tenth time:

(You brush against everyone again.)

(You've read somewhere that humans need a certain amount of skin-to-skin contact otherwise they go insane.)

(Asking for skin-to-skin contact would be weird, so you content yourself with clothes-to-clothes.)

(What do books know, anyway?)


Eleventh time:

(Poke poke poke poke.)


Isabeau (hahaha2): Poke!


(!)

(Without meaning to, you smile.)


Isabeau (sif!1): !!!

Odile (awkward1): Kids, please...


Twelfth time onwards:

(You poke everyone again, but this time no one reacts.)

(. . .)

If Loop hasn't reassured Siffrin about this:

(Someone, anyone...)

If Loop has:

(You're here.)

Shelf with soil

(Different types of soil.)
