>>5882565>"Okay okay! Stop squeezing, jeez. Alright, so there's three types of magic right? You probably learned that in elementary school, but what they don't tell you in these newfangled education systems is that, back in my day, we used to be able to shoot that shit from our hands! I'm talking REAL magic shit, y'know?! Fire arrows, ice shields, lightning blasts! You used to need a high Lvl to even cast a single ice spell!! But then... when that Hero chick became the new queen of the Capital, she forced everyone to use these cheap factory trinkets instead, who knows why, bitch is crazy! I hear the canyon folk have stopped using magic altogether, as some kind of collective protest, but it's not gonna matter. Her highness the Icicle Queen doesn't give a fart about anyone outside the Capital..."So this new (or rather, "new", this guy looks rather old...) queen banned all mumbo jumbo magic nonsense and replaced it with superior, factory-made tech that is accessible to everyone? Mmm, you can kinda vibe with this girl!
>"Regardless, just like the magic types, there's three types of Orbs, one for each. GRN ones heal wounds if you pop them against your body, and create aggressive plants if you toss them at the ground. RED ones increase your strength if you use them on yourself and explode if you throw them. And finally, the BLU ones create water if you pop them lightly and create ice walls if you slam them down. That's what you wanted right? Got it? Got it! Alright, I've got some money to collect, see ya!"He runs off, displaying a weird amount of agility. What a strangely helpful scam artist! You have one less Orbs now, but you've aquired some new information!
>"...Wait a second, this place is filled with snow! Why the fuck did he need to grab some water from ME?!">"Storkie, I don't think you can just eat snow off of the street...">"Yeah? Try me!"You grab a handful of snow and shove it in your mouth, then immediately spit it out.
>"AUGH! It tastes like ear wax mixed with sewage! Why?">"Storkie! "Never eat random stuff you find on the ground of an alien planet, especially if it looks like food"! Remember?! Also how do you know what that would taste like..?">"It's not really ON the GROUND though. There's like, pavement on top... Right?">"Yeah, that sounds much cleaner... And here you were talking about disinfecting MY mouth earlier...">"I'd rather eat food off of the trash than trust a random man's lips!">"Jeez..."What will you do now?
>Make a beeline for the tower>Walk around town and enjoy the sights>Look for Anis around town, that bitch ain't getting away this time!>Go back in the tunnel and investigate that hole in the ceiling further>Write in
