News: I finally installed GIMP on my main computer, so expect more GIFs in the future. >Extend a friendly greeting >Extend a friendly, but cautious greeting. >Ready your sword, this could ugly pretty fast.  You arm yourself with your sword in one hand and a flower in the other. The triangular beings seem either nervous or quite happy with what you have presented to them. You can't really tell which due to their lack of expression. > Throw a flower at them. It's a symbol of peace used in a semi-aggressive way. The perfect checker of friendship.  You throw the flower at the closest being. When it makes contact, the flower and the triangle burst into flames, severely damaging the first creature and reducing the flower to smoke and ashes. Flowers do not usually cause their recipients to combust. The second triangle is able to dodge the debris.
Inventory:
Space: 7.75/25
-Green Pyramid (3) x 1
-Teal Spheres (1/3) x 3
-Blue Vial 1) x 1
-Teal Vial (1) x 1
-Blue Flower (.25) x 2
-Teal Flower (.25) x 1
 The two beings move into some sort of combat formation. The undamaged triangle sends a bolt in your direction! It almost grazes you, instead flying into the abyss. >You have no time for the antics of levitating triangles. See if your body can function similarly to the flowers  You retreat backwards to the edge of the island, hoping that you have the same power the flowers do. You almost walk off the island instead. The triangles bob up and down in the air in their formation. You think they're judging you at this point. |

Command to be used after the triangle things are either destroyed or determined to not be a threat:

>Try to jump to the lighthouse island after getting a running start. Maybe they won't follow you. Retreat back to the tree! First rule of facing ranged opponents: acquire cover.  You leave the island following the path to the grove. The damaged triangular being stays behind, but the undamaged one follows in pursuit.  While you make it back to the grove, your pursuer is quick to catch up. >Swing a flower around like a sword  You take out a blue flower and lunge at the triangular being, successfully striking it! The flower and the triangular being are both annihilated in the cloud of steam.

Command to be used after the triangle things are either destroyed or determined to not be a threat: > Pick up the closest flower you used for your path. Does the ground it created remain?  With the immediate threat dealt with, you pick up the nearest flower you used to create land out of nothing. The flower withers after being pulled away while the island remains unchanged.

(Still working on this update, but command requests are fine!) >Try to reach through the nothingness.  You reach into the void. The only thing you feel is a cold breeze as you wave your arms around in the oblivion below. >See if tree leaves can be used to make paths as well  The tree leaves also seem to unable to mimic the properties of the flowers. > commit more triangle murder.  You return to the other island, collecting the flowers you have dropped previously along the way. The damaged triangular being continues to float in position, awaiting its fate.

 You charge at the remaining triangular being and slash at it with your sword! Its form dissolves from the hit, leaving only a gray center piece that drops to the ground. |

 You pick up the core of the triangular being. It is quite warm to the touch.
Inventory:
Space: 10.75/25
-Red Triangle Core (2) x 1
-Green Pyramid (3) x 1
-Teal Spheres (.333) x 3

> What happens when you try to touch the underside of the ground you're standing on?  You reach underneath the isle and discover that you only feel the emptiness of oblivion, even when you grasp up towards where the grass you kneel on should be. >Attempt to use a flower to draw a path in the void. >Create a path around the broken triangle by dropping and picking up flowers. Drop the withered flower into the abyss to check that it truly is abyss  You drop a withered flower onto the ground as you have done with the pristine ones. Rather than land safely like its kin previous, it disintegrates in the air before it would fall onto the new land mass that formed underneath.

Inspect pipe valve in the ground?  You approach what looks like a small stone-cut shrine in the middle of the island. As you move to touch it, though, you feel a strange sensation from your main sword hand.  You watch as a strange black circle is drawn onto your hand, as if by an invisible pen. The light breeze flowing through the void seems to kick up as the symbol is completed. |

Touch the object anyways, also, keep in mind that it may be more efficient to use withered flowers to make bridges in the future.

If it's a shrine, then you may have been marked by a spirit or deity.
In any case it's out of your hand(s) now.
Make your way to the Brown Mesa Tower.

After pressing your hand into the shrine's cold stone, nothing seems to happen. What a let down. >See if it does the same to your other hand.  You preform the same action with your other hand. It remains unmarked by any symbol of note. >Press the symbol like a button. > Attempt CIRCLE THRUST, the new skill you just clearly learned with that sigil.  You would like to preform CIRCLE THRUST, you don't know how to even come to activate it! All your hand techniques go nowhere. Thinking about it, you don't really know if CIRCLE THRUST even exists as an ability. Make your way to the Brown Mesa Tower.  You use some of your remaining flowers to cross over to the much larger island formed out of hard brown rock. You can't see much living here, and a dry heat seems to pervade the area. A lighthouse looms on top of the mesa.

Explore the tower, and see if there is some loot in there.
Stare at the tower. Something is bound to happen.
Lay down and rest for a bit. The warmth is nice.
Try to remember *EXACTLY* what happened before you got here.
Lift rocks. All of the rocks. That is, if you can, since you don't know if you're even strong enough now, or ever were.
