Korin>Look in the bag

You go to your new bag. You're not really sure why Sang thought you were a bit obsessed. You just appreciate good craftsmanship.



Awesome! You left the new special tea set inside the bag already. That saves you a lot of trouble.

> Get dressed. Put on your new brand new bag. Make sure it matches your belt.

[W-Wan Shi Tong! Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't notice you were here! Thank you for gracing me with your presence, He Who Knows 10,000 Things. I hope this tale is to your liking, great Knowledge Spirit!]

Korin>Get dressed and ready

You sure love your poses.

Well, you got your clothes, your apron, and your supplies. You'd better get going now to meet Sang. It's a bit of a way to Fountain Square, but you should be able to make it on time if you leave now. You walk down the road towards the inner part of the city, a song in your heart and a kick in your step.

Tonight is a night that you will never forget.


















Meanwhile, in an alleyway...



You are now this animal.

Animal>Stretch

You haven't been inside a box for three days. You escaped that... that prison as soon as you felt it had ceased moving. Luckily, once the box was settled, it didn't take much force for you to break free with your strong digging claws. However, being lost in an unknown place, surrounded by unknown creatures, and possibly distanced thousands and thousands of leagues away from where you came from quickly filled you with fear. The dry dirt beneath your feet felt desolate compared to the comfortable, fertile soil you called home. You wandered the area, stopping only to rest, tired, hungry, and alone.

But yes, it is probably a good idea for you to stretch.

> Get to higher ground to look for danger.

You...don't relish going any higher. You only went up in order to escape the cacophonous multitudes of very large creatures stomping around. Loud noises do not make for restful sleep. At least up here, the vibrations felt quieter. However, now that you are wide awake and aware, you would very much like to get back to solid ground as soon as possible.

Animal>Go down

You are now feeling slightly stunned.

>Animal: Lovingly stroke box.

You will do no such thing. You are hating the box too much right now to do that.

As you lie there, you begin to contemplate your future. What if you are lost forever? You've been wandering for three days straight, with no sign of anything familiar. Not the scent of grass, not the scent of trees, not even the scent of your brothers and sisters, not even your mother's.

You now feel quite depressed.



Oh?

OH? OH GOODNESS!

What sumptuous, aromatic piece of heavenly vegetation is this?

Oh, yes you will.

This perfect sphere of divine vegetation fill your nose with such an aroma. You can feel the layers upon layers of lush, delicious leaves, brimming with all the nutrients a growing youngster like yourself needs. Your mouth salivates with every breath. This is something that you will appreciate, something that you will not take for granted, for this is a divine gift that--

Oh whatever, you're hungry.

After partaking in such an exquisite meal, you begin to groom your claws. A gentlebeast must always mind his manners, your mother taught you. As the remains of the vegetation lies sprawled all around you, you take this time to rest and digest. Maybe the day won't be so bad after all.

Who is this? Who could be so rude to interrupt a gentlebeast from enjoying his meal an--

Suddenly you freeze.

You feel something in your claws. There is something wrong with this creature. It isn't that it's ten times your height, or that it approached without you noticing. No, you feel something deeper, a sort of emotion that you can't quite place...

Great. Just great.

I knew I should've stopped selling cabbages. Finished that business ten years ago, and I was living just fine. No sudden public outbreaks, no loss of profits, no hooligans destroying my beloved cabbage cart, no slugs to ruin the trade, no random animals snacking on my produce.

I even got emotional therapy sessions, and I soon learned to live a life of calmness. My doctor told me to stay away from cabbages, and try to do something else. He introduced me to a man who did great metalworking, and boy did I learn new things. I even got a new job fixing things in the local community

And here I was, simply just living life, enjoying my time here, tinkering away. If only my son didn't mention the cabbage trade. If only my wife didn't keep nagging me to do something because we needed money. I was happy. I was at peace.

I convinced myself that this is what I wanted to do with my life. I told myself that my entire life was about cabbages, and I spent a great deal on cabbages. I learned the best way to raise cabbages. I learned the exact dimensions of the cart needed to prevent bruising of cabbages. I found ways to make the cabbage tastier through tried and true farming methods. I guess I deluded myself into thinking that ten years, after all the war, all the pain and suffering, all would be well again to sell cabbages.

Okay, go over the breathing exercises, like the good doctor said. In, out, in out. Focus on the good things. Well, it's a nice day. People are buying some cabbages. I mean, things were going so well. It was a great day.

And yet, here we are. Some rodent sitting there demolishing my cabbages that I broke my back over preparing. That cabbage it ate was even my best one. I just had the unlucky fortune to drop it in this alleyway where a STUPID,LOW-LIFE, DIRTY, NO GOOD RODENT JUST COMES IN HERE AND STEALS MY CABBAGE MY CABBAGE THAT I WORKED HARD ON RAISING AND CARING FOR I MEAN IS IT SO HARD TO ASK THAT A MAN SELL HIS PRODUCE IN PEACE THE WAR IS OVER THE AVATAR HAS BROUGHT PEACE SO WHY IS MY SELLING CABBAGES AN IMPOSSIBLE TASK IT'S ALL THIS RODENT'S FAULT ARGHBLARGLEARGLE--

So next update should get us back to Korin and more plot developments! Another cool thing I noticed is that in the last few days, this thread has skyrocketed in views. As a person doing this for the first time, this makes me feel five-ways giddy inside.

Also, WE'VE PASSED 200 POSTS. The next person who posts will receive a Peach Blossom Tile. If you have already won the Cradle version of this medal, then you cannot get another one. If you forget if you already have this medal, refer to the front page where all the names are.

Remember that the Hydrangea and Poinsettia Tiles are still achievable. Not the Bamboo one though, at least for now.
