Forty-Third Theory [Mostly Action]

[i_speak_softly]

((General post for the next two weeks or so. Preemptive tl;dr, find him anywhere, though suggestion of day/place/activity is appreciated.))

[As May begins, and as a fairly large percentage of May goes by, Donatello can be found doing the following things:

-Jogging through the woods, tracking down any signs of life detected by the departed Mr. Scott's not-really-new-and-not-exactly-improved-either tricorder. ((New Feathers, feel free to jump in here.))

-Hauling huge loads of books to and from the library.

-Studying these books - in and around House 55, at the library itself, by the fountain, at the coffee shop, alongside the river... pretty much anywhere.

-Copying diagrams from the books into his journal.

-Working at the smithy, trying to create physical equivalents of these diagrams.

-Digging through bins at the item shop.

-Practicing wind magic or good old-fashioned ninjutsu in various open areas around the edges of the village.

And a few more specific actions:]


[Don needs a few minutes of your time. If you don't dare to approach him while he's working, he'll come looking for you.]



[Some rainy evening, Don will show up at Robert's door with a duffel bag and a goofy grin. You owe him a nanocomputer demonstration - and he brought you a gift.]



Frederic, a question, if you have a minute...

[Mike grunts in frustration.]

/walk north

[i_speak_softly]

The tunnel here is very dark. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

[the-mikester.livejournal.com]

What the heck is a grue? [He mumbles.]

/walk north

[i_speak_softly]

With a flash of jagged claws and slavvering fangs, a grue dissends upon you.

You are dead.

Start over?

[the-mikester.livejournal.com]

What!?

[Donnie, this game is lame.]

/start over

[i_speak_softly]

[Don glances up, then resumes his work.]

I don't know the word "start".

Start over?

/yes

You are standing in a square by a fountein. There is a ladder leading down into a tunnel. Also there are buildings all around but dont bother with them, I haven't coded that part of the game yet.

The tunnel here is lit by gratings. A shallow stream runs down the middle.

There is an empty bottle here.

You smash the bottle.

There are jagged shards of glass on the ground.
