TINY CAT PEOPLE: THE MAZE TRIALS

[skinstealer]

 
SEE: Going back and getting some rest sounds like a pretty good plan, yeah…
SEE: But…
SEE: Can one of you help walk me back?
SEE: I think I’m starting to stabilize, but the weed makes me feel a bit scared- or maybe I’m normally this scared?
SEE: …I could really use the help.
SAMSON: Oh my g- okay.
SAMSON: Then I will walk you back.
SAMSON: How is that?
 

Somehow, this feels like a worse idea than you going alone.

SEE: S-sure! Yeah!
SAMSON: Okay. Todd, you follow behind us, as backup.
SAMSON: Roxas, Cayden, just chill I guess.
 

Todd gives a mock salute and grabs his bag.

You can't help but feel jittery over the fact that Samson thinks she needs "backup", but you guess you can't really blame her either...

You stand up slowly, holding your new handheld close.

SEE: Thank you all so much for having me, and for the game, and the weed-
SAMSON: Yes, yes, yes, it was nice having you, let's get a move on.
 

Samson starts ushering you out the door.

CAYDEN: We'll talk online when you're back to your room!
SEE: Yeah thank you bye-!
 

You are promptly shoved out into the trial chamber- looks like the trash bag's been cleaned up.

SAMSON: Okay, which was is your door?
SEE: Right over here.
 

You point- it’s literally right there.

...you feel kind of silly for asking for help on this one, but better safe than sorry.

SAMSON: Well whatdya know? There's nothing scary or dangerous here.
SAMSON: Looks like you can walk back just fine.
SEE: I guess so...
 

You start walking, trying to ease your nerves up.

SAMSON: Oh right.
SAMSON: Almost forgot.
 

  

Samson takes a small satchel out of her bag and hands it to you.

SAMSON: This is something we give out to newbies.
SAMSON: Consider it a token of goodwill.
SAMSON: Or don't. Whatever.
 

You take the satchel carefully, doing your best to open it with one hand- the other full with the power of gaming.

SAMSON: Please go back to your room to look through that, I don't want to be standing in the middle of a trial room all day.
SEE: Ok!! Got it!!
 

You speed over to your room, power walking as well as your little legs can.

SEE: T-thank you again!
 

  

You are now back in your room. 

INTERCOM: Welcome back, See.
INTERCOM: You have one reward remaining.
INTERCOM: You have one question remaining.
 

There’s some kind of tin on your bed with a note nearby.

Closer inspection reveals that it’s a cookie tin- you know what cookies are thanks to your cooking skill! They’re supposed to be really delicious treats, oh boy, cookies-!



…oh. There’s needles, thread, buttons, and fabric in here.

 

You decide to look at the note. 

To See, our new favorite healer.

Now you can heal things other than TCPs as well- keep Sky safe!

Skill courtesy of Skillset Interactive Technologies.

The note fills you with knowledge, and before you know it, you’re now aware of toy repair and sewing. Handy!

 

 

You check out the satchel next.

There’s a lot of stuff in here!

The satchel contains:

Three yogurt drinks, said to be healing
A booklet detailing info about the maze and suggestions for rewards
A colorful bracelet!

You set these goodies aside to look at later.

  

 

With all that taken care of, you’re pretty winded…and…lonely. Things went pretty well with the gamers, but you couldn’t win over Samson in the end…

Your gaze slides over to the box of mysterious trinkets and devices on the floor- your proxy kit. 

…the internet did say something about proxies impressing your friends.
