HAWKS PALACE

[doublefried]

The process of entering the palace is... smooth. Painless.


You are falling, but it's not scary at the speed you're going. You drop through the pre-dawn sky like a feather, light and easy on a breeze, descending towards a bright and multicolored island in a sea of dark trees.

When you land, you are somewhere new.

[geeeez

no, not this ride

but he does huff the feather to see if he can catch a scent off it to follow]

Re: RIDES

It smells sort of spicy? Kind of autumn-y.

It's hard to track a smell through this area of the park, but you could probably recognize it if you smelled it again.

[tucks the feather away...will check one more ride. maybe some teacups]

Re: RIDES

[doublefried]

There are teacups! They're cute and easy and not thrilling.

Another little feather falls down into this seat too...

Re: RIDES

In this memory, you're much younger. Maybe five or six. You're sitting at a table in a dimly lit underground room, and on that table is a puzzle. Your hands are in oven mitts. Two people in suits are monitoring this test - it's not easy for you to exercise this level of delicate control, but with some effort you can put this puzzle together.

Your time is noted and recorded. Neither seems especially impressed.

You ask if you can try again.



The memory fades. You now have two feathers.

Your childhood sucks my guy....

[time to try a game, maybe darts or a ring toss]

Re: RIDES

[doublefried]

These games are almost definitely grifts, but gamerunners HAPPILY WAVE YOU OVER with promises of FABULOUS PRIZES!!

The darts game has little red darts shaped like feathers because of course it does.

Re: RIDES

[time to play to WIN]

Re: RIDES

[doublefried]

It is HARD but with enough determination you can win the BIG PRIZE!!!

The last dart is also a memory! It's short and sweet; you're very young, in the same place, practising the speed and accuracy with which you can launch your feathers. You practice over, and over, and over, and over...

..................who the hell is this guy.

Re: RIDES

[doublefried]

Who indeed!

It doesn't look like there's any more feathers around, but there are some more rides! Plus some seedier looking buildings that might be maintenance access or something.

Re: RIDES

[rugpull]

[time to check out the seedy areas]

Re: RIDES

[doublefried]

All the RED DOORS are locked, but you might have a couple of keys to help with that. Or feathers. Hearts, man.

Re: RIDES

[rugpull]

Huh.

[unlock with...feathheerrr? lets goooo]

It's maybe not intended for customer satisfaction!
