The More Things Stay the Same came out very recently, and you should probably read that before this one
unironically: forcing me to start with King Bran made this work
originally, the tone was going to be a bit different, so the first mission had to be tweaked; here's the original
- Spoiler:
Mission 001: A New Beginning [King Bran]
"okay jakey my dog my uh fellow ruler of a nation; our sheriff has disappeared mysteriously so i am tasked with giving you THIS" "it isn't some newfangled industrial revolution junk is it?" "no way; this is a classic magical artefact straight from the pages of history" King Bran plops a burlap sack on the table. "within this burlap sack lies THE DIAMONDS; the ultimate source of power for any jakey who wants to be a hero" "sign me up captain" Jakey grabs the burlap sack and pours The Diamonds down his throat. "i like your tenacity; historically, too many jakeys hesitate" "i'm just glad i'm ingesting something NOT made in a smoggy factory" "fair enough" Michelle enters the room with a smoggy mountain cake. "take me home"
[reward: respect +/The Diamonds]
Mission 014: CRUCIAL TYPO:
Coal-Girl shovels more coal into Michelle's cooter.
meant to write "scooter"
Mission 015:
the coal-powered cellular calling device is shaped like one of those old phones where you hold the little thing up to your ear, and the candelabra up to your mouth
Mission 018:
across all time periods, Julia is the superior musician, but Mavis just has the cooler name
Mission 019:
this is the first time i came up with the Yearning Diamond, then went backward to insert it earlier because i knew i had my ending
i did not know the ending would go there until it went there
