Good morning Majesty, what name shall thee wish to be called on this bright day?
<<textbox "$name" "" "princess">>All powerful sorcerer, what doth thee wish to be titled?
<<textbox "$name" "" "wizard">>What does the fool wish to be called today?
<<textbox "$name" "" "jester">>of course, $name! A truely fabulous name for someone of such royal complection.
[[continue princess]] $name ? Such a foolish name for such a foolish hog. Yee shall entertain her majestly dutifully.
[[continue fool]] $name. A wonderful name for the upmost protector! You shall serve her majesty well.
[[continue sorcerer]]<<timed 1s t8n>>You walk amongst the posy of your kingdom. The princess rides in her cozy carriage, the wizard rides the open carriage next to her.<<next 3s t8n>>
...You? A fool would never have a carriage.<<next>>
You hear a rustle in the [[bush]] <</timed>>
You had one job on this mission. Protect the princess. Your carriage rode next to hers and you stayed <<linkappend "vigilent." t8n>> Nothing got past your wizard sense. You could feel the [[wolf following behind the group|next2]] <</linkappend>><<timed 1s t8n>>Nothing. You assume its nothing. The posy reaches a clearing.
The sorcerer and princess exits their carriages. <<next 2s t8n>>
"$name! Build me a tall stone house! I require the strongest of living!" The princess declaired loudly. <<next>>
[[gather the stone]]<</timed>><<timed 2s t8n>>You gather the stone from a large pile. <<next 2s t8n>>
The stone is beautiful, you believe it to be <<cycle "$option" autoselect>>
<<option "granite">>
<<option "marble">>
<<option "obsidian">>
<</cycle>>
<<next>>
The stone glints as you build your princess a [[magnificient castle]]. <</timed>>The Princess seemed pleased with the $option made castle.
"oh $name! What a fabulously strong castle you hath made me. Honor shall find your family I trust!" She cheered happily.
Her porky body waddled into her strong $option castle.
[[the wizard called for you|wizard yap]]<<timed 1s t8n>>"$name! As the fool- I require thee to build me a wooden study so I can protect our royal princess. Hurry fool, for I am not patient."<<next>>
The wizard demanded much of you.<<next>>
[[you gather the wood|wood]]<</timed>><<timed 1s t8n>>You stalk off, angry at how the wizard speaks to you.<<next 3s t8n>>
Before you sits 3 piles of wood.<<next>>
One is a magnificent mahogony..<<next>>
Another is a hearty redwood..<<next>>
Lastly is a rotten old oak..<<next>>
What will you build out of? <<next>>
[[mahogony]]
[[redwood]]
[[rotten oak]]
<</timed>><<timed 1s t8n>>It took you a long time, but the mahogony worked up well. A twisted tower soared above you and the wizard and he seemed impressed.<<next>>
"im surprised such a fool as yourself $name could build something almost to my level."<<next>>
He said, his porky ego lacing his voice with incencerity.<<next>>
His upper hoof pointed to a pile of rotten hay.<<next>>
"a fool deserves a foolish house. $name. Build your own now, before the wolves come."<<next>>
[[the wolves..]]<</timed>><<timed 2s t8n>>You build the house out of the hearty redwood. Its tall in its celestial manner and the wizard seemed impressed.<<next>>
"$name, I didnt know such fools could build such impressive manors..."<<next>>
He tossed some oats your way. They fell to the ground around your hooves. <<next>>
"feed yourself fool, and be proud of the houses you made."<<next>>
his voice was laced with malicious intent. He mocked you with the oats, and embarresed a fool with his tone.<<next>>
[[now you must build your own home|your place]] <</timed>><<timed 1s t8n>>A twisted smile cracked on your face. The wizard was preocupied, so you built quickly. The rotten wood looked well enough, plain if anything, but its center was weak. It wouldnt hold well against a strong breeze.<<next>>
The cottage was quaint and the wizard appeared dull.<<next>>
"a dull house from a dull fellow. I shouldnt have expected much from you I suppose.."<<next>>
You watched as he entered the rotten cottage, his wizardly robed trailing behind him.<<next>>
[[it was almost dark now]]<</timed>><<timed 1s t8n>>The only materials you could find was straw. You built it quickly, as the sun started to set and you needed to be fast.<<next>>
You heard another rustle.<<next>>
Your mind went wild with posibility.
It could be anything.. it could be <<cycle "$option" autoselect>>
<<option "a bear">>
<<option "a storm">>
<<option "a reanimated sentiant truffle">>
<</cycle>>
<<next>>
[[it rustles again]] <</timed>><<timed 2s t8n>>You built the straw hut quickly<<next>>
You entered the cold house, curled on the small sensless ground and trembled in the cold<<next>>
[[you heard rustling|rustles]]<</timed>><<timed 2s t8n>>You began to build your straw hut.<<next>>
You heard rustling in the bushes behind you<<next>>
You whipped around, expecting to see <<cycle "$option" autoselect>>
<<option "a magnificently tall angered mushroom">>
<<option "a sneaky snake come to swallow you whole">>
<<option "a small boy here to burgle your turts">>
<</cycle>>
<<next>>
[[you dont expect what you see|next]]<</timed>><<timed 2s t8n>>A wolf pounced on you, knocking you and your flimsy straw hut crashing to the ground.<<next>>
It wanst $option! You really were a fool!<<next>>
[["hey~"]]<</timed>><<timed 2s t8n>>The wolfs hot breath hits your neck. His red eyes stare into your own.<<next>>
"Ive caught a fool it seems"<<next>>
His voice draws on, low and growled.<<next>>
He licks his lips<<next>>
your eyes flicker to your side, gazing upon the cozy redwood manor and the elaborate castle your princess sits it.<<next>>
[["wait!!"]]<</timed>><<timed 3s t8n>>You didnt want to die. Not like this..<<next 4s t8n>>
The wolf halted and you trembled<<next>>
[[sacrifice the wizard and princess]]
[[try to reason]]
<</timed>><<timed 1s t8n>> "them sir! They are far more fed than I"<<next>>
You reasoned loudly, pointing your hoof toward the redwood manor and the castle<<next>>
"they sir are royals! They have dined on the finest milks and truffles the kingdom has to offer- they shall be a heavily im sure-"<<next>>
The wolf smiled<<next>>
[["a cunning fool it seems.."|betrayl]]<</timed>><<timed 1s t8n>>"I am nothing but a fool sir" <<next>>
Your voice shook<<next>>
"I fear I would be nothing but tough bacon if you were to eat me"<<next>>
[[he only laughed|eat]]<</timed>>"You are nothing but pork to me- food is food- why should I not eat such a pitiful [[fool]]?"<<timed 2s t8n>> You couldnt answer. <<next>>
Air shredded your lungs as you breaths quickened. <<next>>
Why should he save you?<<next>>
[[youre nothing but a fool|death]]<</timed>><<timed 1s t8n>>Jaws snapped around you. <<next 2s t8n>>
You stared at the castle and the redwood manor. <<next>>
You stared at your life. <<next 3s t8n>>
They watched as he ate you.. <<next 4s t8n>>
They laughed. <<next>>
You died as a joke <<next 6s t8n>>
..as a fool <</timed>><<timed 1s t8n>>You watched as the wolf knocked on the wizards door<<next 3s t8n>>
You watched as the wizard opened it <<next>>
you watched as his blood splattered the burgandy wood and how it seeped into the dirt outside<<next>>
[[the wolf looked to the castle|dead princess]]<</timed>><<timed 1s t8n>> You backed against a tree as the wolf shoved his body into the stone side of the small castle. It looked pitiful next to his strength.<<next 2s t8n>>
He broke in <<next>>
You ran <<next 3s t8n>>
and ran <<next>>
[[and ran]]<</timed>><<timed 1s t8n>> You ran until you couldnt breath anymore.<<next 3s t8n>>
Free from the wolves <<next>>
Free from the wizard<<next>>
Free from the shackles that your jesters collar chained you to<<next>>
you ripped the collar from your thick neck and tossed it to the side<<next>>
You were now free entirely<<next>>
end<</timed>><<timed 2s t8n>> You shut your eyes and tried to sleep <<next>>
you tried to ignore the footsteps outside your door <<next>>
[[it breathed]]<</timed>><<timed 2s t8n>> It was a blur <<next 3s t8n>>
he knocked your door down <<next>>
he cornered you quickly<<next>>
he bit into your fleshy neck and you watched your blood seep into the floor of your pitiful hut<<next>>
only a fool would think it would keep you safe.<<next>>
end<</timed>><<timed 2s t8n>> It wasnt $option but a wolf. <<next>>
You ran<<next>>
you ran fast<<next>>
You ran past the rotten cottage of the wizard, screaming as you raced past.
He cracked the door open in frustrated confusion.<<next>>
Looking from where you ran, he was met with the [[jaws of the wolf.]]<</timed>><<timed 2s t8n>>You rushed into the princesses stone castle, locking her grand door behind you.<<next>>
She hurried to your side<<next>>
"$name! $name are you alright!?"<<next>>
You told her about the wolf. You pointed out the <<linkappend "window." t8n>> The wizard was on the ground, being slowly devowered by the rabid wolf <</linkappend>> <<next>>
[[the princess trembled next to you|trembled]] <</timed>>
<<timed 2s t8n>>The wolf moved then, banging his body against the castle sides<<next>>
you held the princess close, tight in a corner of her stone castle <<next>>
the stone gave way<<next>>
He got you first, ripping the skin of your fatty arm away, throwing your body against the side of the castle<<next>>
He tore into her skin and she screamed<<next>>
pleaded<<next>>
we were all gone<<next>>
end <</timed>>"Fool!" you called loudly
"take up the rear-"
You demanded immediatly. A jester was the most expendable by far.
You arrived to a clearing. After helping the princess down, you knew you had to [[set up dwellings quickly.|camp]]
