Kitten in Wonderland

You are a kitten lost in a fantasy forest, trying to find your way back to your owner. Make friends along the way. The only way you can get out of this mess is to befriend more animals you may encounter. Remember: every choice you make matters. Good luck. [[Embark into journey.->proceed (object)]] [[Wait, tell me more details.->See more details.]] (set: $inventory to 0) (set: $honey to false) (set: $banana to false)

You see large leaves blocking your way, there is a path to the forest in front of you. Though you're not sure where you are, you are determined to find your way back where you belong. The cat food is waiting, after all. [[Enter forest path.->animal1 snake]]

Your paws carry you through the tall grass. You're a bit hungry in this strange world so you make your way over to some bushes with berries in them. You flinch when you see something moving—well, more like slithering, and realize there's a long green snake beside you. "Hey duuude. You may not want to eat those berries I hear they're very poisonous for tiny animals like you." [['You're tiny too.']] [['Okay whatever, thanks.']] [['Shut it, you elongated reptile.']]

There's a giant bear in your path! He seems hesitant at the sight of you, even though he is much larger in comparison. "Umm, hi there... Can you help me get honey? I'm staaaaarving." (if: $honey is true)[ [['Wait, I have some honey right here actually.']] ] [['If I find some, I'll be sure to give it to you!']] [['Sorry bud, ha. You're on your own, my dude.']]

You almost step on on something hard, and lift your paws to reveal a turtle lazily making its way across the slightly taller grass. "Listen man, I'm just trying to sleep," it says, and you feel the need to say something. [['Wow, I wish I could lay around all day like that too...']] [['Umm... can you literally move, or..?']]

There is a small message written on a big oak tree. It reads: Isolated area to your left. Path may be slippery. [[Turn around and go back.->animal4 fish]] [[Go to isolated area.->object-r1 banana]]

You find a nearby river, and immediately hear splashing. A fish appears near shore. "WhAAaah! It's a cat! Please don't eat me!!" [['Hey, that's offensive! Why do you assume I'll eat you just 'cause I'm a cat?']] [['Whoa there, I'm not going to eat you. You're actually kind of cute.']] [['You do look delicious...']]

You suddenly get caught in a small web, and a black spider appears. "Hey dummy! Thanks for falling for my trap. I'll have you for dinner now, bwaH HAHA!" [['Let me go! I need to find my owner.']] [['Dude, I'm literally a cat.']] [['You do realize I have claws, right?']]

There is suddenly a loud screeching sound and you see a monkey swing on by. "Hey there! I'm bored. Want to play a game? Pretty please?" [['I'm kind of in a hurry here-']] [['A game? Will I get money for it?']] (if: $banana is true)[ [['Oooh- Is it a banana game?']] ]

The smell of cat food hits your nose and you hear a voice. A very familiar one. When you open your eyes you realize you're right back home—in your kitty bed, and the room is filled with rerunning episodes of Friends. And that's how you know. You have found your owner. [[Retry.->Home]]

Your goal as a lost kitten is to find your way back to your owner. In this fantasy forest, the friendships you make with animals along the way are key to finding your way back. Get on their good side! +1 honey! acquired honey for viewing how to play. (set: $honey to true) [[Continue->proceed (object)]]

There are a few scattered bananas near a bundle of trees. The ground further back is a bit muddy. It seems no one comes here often. +1 banana! "Hmm... will this come in handy?" (set: $banana to true) [[Turn back and follow the sound of running water.->animal4 fish]]

"Damn, you right. Seriously, though, don't eat them." You decide to take the snake's advice. He seems like a helpful kind of dude. (set: $inventory to $inventory +1) [[Ignore berries and keep going.->proceed 1]]

"Okay bye, lol." You both seem to dismiss each other's presence. You decide to continue got your task. [[Keep going.->proceed 1]]

"Okay, you furry ball of nastiness." It seems the snake has a sassy side, and you have just unlocked it. He doesn't seem to tolerate your attitude, but you decide maybe you should get a move on. (set: $inventory to $inventory -1) [[Tolerate its sass and keep going.->proceed 1]]

"I see... What brings you over to these parts of the forest?" You explain that you're not sure how you got here. The spider finds your story intriguing, but apologizes that it's not able to help you. [['I understand.'->proceed 5]]

"aHAhahHA, that you are indeed!" The spider seems to like your sense of humor. It tells you of a place where you can find delicious fruit, if you ever get hungry. (set: $inventory to $inventory +1) [[Thank him and keep going.->proceed 5]]

"You're literally no fun, my dude." The spider seems unamused by your humor. It turns away and suddenly leaves over a tree branch. [[Shrug it off and keep going.->proceed 5]]

"Whoa, that's really nice of you, friend!" The bear seems to appreciate your help, although it doesn't seem he's convinced you would actually follow through. [[Wave goodbye and keep going.->proceed 2]]

"What?! Thank you so much!! I really appreciate it, friend!" The bear picks you up and gives you a giant... bear hug. (Get it?) (set: $inventory to $inventory +1) [['No problem, enjoy!'->proceed 2]]

"Oh okay. Good luck on your journey then." Although the bear is quite polite, he seems upset. You think about your owner again, and are anticipating your return even more now. (set: $inventory to $inventory -1) [[Keep moving forward.->proceed 2]]

"Cute? Me? Whaaaat? Me? I'm cute?" You never thought a fish could blush, but this fish was definitely flattered by your words. It tells you there's a nearby cave to take shelter in, if it ever starts to rain. (set: $inventory to $inventory +1) [[Thank him and keep going.->proceed 4]]

"I'm not delicious!" The fish is startled by the look on your face, and quickly flees back into the river for safety. That may be the last you ever see of him. [[Keep going->proceed 4]]

"What? Your teeth look really sharp... I don't like that one bit." The fish senses no bad intentions coming from you, and so it seems less startled. It tells you there's a nearby cave to take shelter in, if it ever starts to rain. [[Thank him and keep going.->proceed 4]]

"It's pretty great bud. You should totally get around to that." He smiled at the thought you relate to its habits, and makes an effort to move so you could proceed. (set: $inventory to $inventory +1) [[Thank him and keep going.->proceed 3]]

"Uhhh—don't you know moving is a lot of work?" You roll your eyes and walk over him as to not step on its shell. [[Keep going.->proceed 3]]

"Oh come on. You can never be too busy for a game." The monkey doesn't seem happy that you wouldn't keep him company, but he's not desperate enough to try to convince you. [['Sorry, maybe later.'->proceed 6]]

"Oh yeah, suuure. You'll win lots and lots of money." You know he's not serious, and he sees you're not quite amused. [['Sorry, I'm in a hurry.'->proceed 6]]

"Wait... banana? Did you say banana?!" You hand over the banana you found earlier and the monkey jumps in in joy. He thanks you more times than you need to hear, and swings by into nearby trees. (set: $inventory to $inventory +1) [[Say goodbye and keep going.->proceed 6]]

You hear leaves rustling. As you proceed, a flash of brown fur comes into sight. You're sure it's another animal. Maybe they know something, but maybe it's dangerous to take that risk. [[Take the risk and continue on path.->animal2 bear]] [[Ignore it and turn.->proceed 2]]

You start to hear running water, and you figure there's a river nearby. Although you can't see it yet, you follow the faint noise. [[Continue on path.->animal3 turtle]]

The sound of water is louder now. If you continue straight you are sure you'll find it. Over at the distance to your left you hear something small fall onto grass. [[Continue on straight path to river.->animal4 fish]] [[Check out the left path.->sign1]]

The sound of water becomes a bit faint again. You've been walking for a while now. It's a bit quiet, but it's still bright out so you're not worried. [[Continue on path.->animal5 spider]]

You hear rustling of leaves again, and the sound of a tree branch snapping. It doesn't sound dangerous, and there's nowhere else you can think of going for now. [[Continue on path.->animal6 monkey]]

{ (if: $inventory is 5 or 6 or 7)[ The sun is setting. Your small paws are tired, but you keep going. Somehow you feel as though if you just keep going an answer will find itself to you. As you continue passing tree after tree, there is a small cave with a ray of white light coming from it. [[Enter cave.->owner-end]] ] (else-if: $inventory is -3 or -2 or -1 or 0 or 1 or 2 or 3 or 4)[ It's getting a little dark outside. You're not sure how far you've been walking. You're getting hungry again, but are not sure whether or not to take a break. [[Proceed.->bad-end]] ]} //Total amount of friendship points you acquired: (print: $inventory) //

You couldn't find your way back to your owner! It's no use—the friendships you have acquired were not enough. [[Try again.->Home]]
