Well uh

That's terrifying.

She'll take it?

Permalink

Congratulations! It's been added to the Key Items section of Celene's inventory.

Permalink

Why is she in a video game now

Also—Does this imply she cannot drop it?

Permalink

She won't know until she finds out.

Permalink

She'll... hold onto it for now?

She turns to Summer.

"What... was that?"

Permalink

"...Looks like a toy of some sort."

Permalink

"Why???"

Permalink

"Do you never get handed purple monkey toys on buses on Earth?"

Permalink

"Has this happened to you before?????"

Permalink

"Last time it was a green fidget spinner giraffe with an extendable neck."

Permalink

Huh. Is... she supposed to buy random trinkets to give to people randomly?

Permalink

Does she want to???

Permalink

If it's the polite thing!

Permalink

Generally it is permissible to choose your favorite way of contributing whimsy to the world rather than feeling confined to any one particular method?

Permalink

Is... there a moral duty to contribute whimsy here? She's unsure she understands whimsy. Are there any standardized ways of contributing whimsy?

Permalink

I mean like, it's nice and supererogatory, like volunteering for the next iteration of an event that you've previously enjoyed or repaying more than the cheerful price of someone you accidentally inconvenienced or harmed?

Permalink

Oh, alright then.

It's time to get off the bus!

• There is a shop which is labeled naught but "Game".

• There are Cathedrals everywhere for those with the Eyes to See, but here there seems to be a slightly more literal cathedraloid building! Not that Celene can recognize any specific iconography to tell what's up in more detail.

• This region of the street seems to be slightly overtaken with playground! There are people of various ages fooling around on sections built for people of various sizes. You can climb up pretty high, but everywhere is either railinged in well enough that you'd have to make a pretty concerted effort to get into a position where you could fall more than a handful of strides, or at certain parts there's a rope and harness system.

• Restaurants and dine-in movie theaters and lounges and such.

• Something that is ambiguously either a niche library or a niche book store.

• Does she want to get... groceries? There's a grocery store.

Anything catch her eye?

Permalink

A lot of these things interest her! She's very confused about the playground, but she'll let Summer take the lead.

Permalink

Wow, Celene sure isn't beating the "wants Summer to make all her decisions for her" allegations.

Permalink

There are a lot of options! She has decision paralysis and very little information!

Permalink

Summer is going to continue staring expectingly while rotating a shape in her head. She can win the decision paralysis competition. 

Permalink

Well if that's how she wants to do it, two can play at this game.

Permalink

"Summer," she says, smiling innocently. "Where do you think we should go?"

Permalink

She's onto Celene. She knows exactly what's going on here. 

"What looks interesting to you?"
