So here we are again, for another week in Timmy's heroic life!
Actually, I heard that yesterday he drank too much of some very weird drink at the Strangerville's bar... He was mumbling he needed to drink to forget, or something like it.
Well, at least it looks like it was the ghosts' night... Did you get any free drinks?
"No, apparently the bartender noticed I cheated to turn into a ghost."
How unfair...
Anyway, Timmy, now it's time to wake up and rise! A great week of adventure awaits you!
"Uhm... I don't want to."
Your phone is ringing too, why don't you answer the call?
"I'd rather not."
Uhm, let's see who's calling...
^ Translation:
"So, it may sound crazy... Our friendship is great and
all, but... I mean... Oh, well, let me say
this straight: I'VE A CRUSH ON YOU. Fiuuuuu... Well, I
said it. Uhm, then... Would you like to go out for a date
with me, sometime? You're handsome! And I
would really like to spend more time with you...
Answers: "Sure, let's plan a date!" / "I'd rather remain just friends..."/"Ignore"
I see, Timmy, this is actually quite... unexpected. The Reaper looks very resolute this time, they never phone mortals like this. And what was your answer?
"I'm just ignoring them."
What? Are you ghosting the Reaper? Really? Why, instead, don't you...
"I just want to forget about all this story."
I see... However, you see, we have signed a contract, it would be a mess to retract it now, so...
"We? I don't remember signing anything!"
Details... Anyway, your weekly tasks this time aren't that bad: you have to improve your cooking, as usual...
"... and then?"
Those knives look sharp, please put them away... Anyway, then you have to purchase a potion of youth. Completing this step will require a lot of aspiration points, that now you don't have (did you really need to buy that reward trait, "Steel Bladder"?). Anyway, this means one thing: we'll have to fulfil a lot of your wishes this week. Aren't you happy?
"Well... That doesn't sound too bad, no."
So, what's your current aspiration?
"It's the Beach Life Aspiration."
Wait, what? Is that the one you chose after solving the Strangerville's mystery?
"I wanted to check some rumours about mermaids, and that archipelago looked very interesting, so..."
I see... Then, what do you need to do to get some points?
"I want to find a treasure!"
This will take forever... While we wait, did you notice it? Timmy became quite chatty, these last few weeks. Oh, here he is again:
Hey, is it a friend of yours?
In any case, if this is really what you desired, Timmy, the task for the week is over. You can move on to whatever you usually do, you know.
"Wait, weird narrating voice! There is another thing I want to investigate!"
Oh, really? And what would it be?
"I still want to find out who made my name to that weirdo of the Grim Reaper for this nonsense quest!"
Wait, what? Timmy, I really don't think that would be a good idea, it's...
"I got intel from a reputable source. I mean, that spirit looked wise."
"Listen to me, Timmy: all this weird stuff happening to you, all the time... This is not a coincidence! And will turn against you, sooner than you think!"
"I knew it!"
Wait, Timmy, be reasonable! Look at the calendar, it's even Winterfest and your very trustable friend Father Winter is knocking at your door, can't you calm down for a while?
Please be gentle with Father Winter, Winterfest it's always such an exhausting day for him. Showing up in so many places, at the exact same time... Don't make me think about it, please.
You see, Timmy? Father Winter is saying a lot of very reasonable things, isn't he? So don't worry, everything will turn out to be fine, I swear.
Ehm... Timmy?
Timmy!?
"I knew it! He's following my every move!"
"The person who made me start this non-sense mission, the one who suggested the neighbours to make my name to the Reaper, and also that mean narrating voice ordering me more and more often what to do, it was you, all along! I thought we were friends, you also helped me destroy the mother plant!!!"
Ouch, he found it out... What will it be of my mission, now? Is everything lost?
End of the Chapter
