You're almost there.{n}It's just across the bridge.

{trigger 1 Madeline walks to the right of the house, turns left}

[MADELINE right sad]

By the way, you should call someone about your driveway. The ridge
collapsed and I nearly died.

{trigger 2 Granny laughs}

Oh... hi.

{trigger 0 Madeline approaches}

[THEO left normal]

What a killer night for a hike!

[MADELINE right distracted]

I guess so.

[THEO left normal]

This place is so crazy.

[THEO left excited]

I kind of can't believe it exists!

[MADELINE right sad]

Not the easiest climb, is it?
 [MADELINE right distracted]
But I guess that's what I was looking for...

[THEO left normal]

Whoa, that sounds pretty serious.
I'm just happy to see another{n}human in such a lonely place.

Hey, sorry. I'm {+MADELINE}.
I've got a lot on my mind.

Well, {+MADELINE}, I'd say you've come to the right place!

[THEO left thinking]

I'm freezing my toes off, but I can't imagine{n}a better place to be
for some quiet reflection.

[MADELINE right sad]

Yeah, maybe you're right.

What "{>> 0.5}{~}far off land{/~}{>>}" do you hail from?

Well, my inquisitive compatriot, I doth hail{n}from the {0.3}

[MADELINE right normal]

It sounds like a special place.

CH1_THEO_C=
[THEO left excited]
This place is wild!

[THEO left normal]

Why would an entire city be abandoned?

[MADELINE right normal]

I read that some mega-corporation started{n}building it, but then no
one wanted to live here.

[MADELINE right distracted]

I wonder why...

[THEO left excited]

My money's on a government cover-up.

[MADELINE right distracted]

What a waste, to build all of this for no reason...

[THEO left normal]

At least we get to enjoy the leftovers.

CH1_THEO_D=
[MADELINE right normal]
Are you here to explore this city?

[THEO left normal]

[THEO left thinking]

And I like to think of myself{n}as a budding photographer.

[MADELINE right normal]

Oh really? Cool!
Do you have a blog or something?

I can really see the determination in your eyes!

[THEO left normal]

It's inspiring.

[MADELINE right distracted]

If you say so.

[MADELINE right normal]

I bet you could make it to the summit too.

[THEO left normal]

Maybe.

[THEO left thinking]

 I don't really care about reaching the top, TBH.

[THEO left normal]

{!}Oh!{/!} But I heard there are some {~}legit{/~}{n}old ruins up
beyond the city.

[THEO left excited]

Like 1800's legit.

[THEO left normal]

I know it's risky but I have to see them for myself.

We need a hobby, but this...

[MADELINE right distracted]

Who says I can't be?

[BADELINE left upset]

I know it's not your strong suit,{n}but be reasonable for once.
You have no idea what you're getting into.
You can't handle this.

That is exactly why I need to do this.
Are you the weak {+PART_OF_ME}, or the lazy part?

No, wait... you called me.

What are you talking about?

[MADELINE_PHONE left distracted]

It doesn't matter. I'm in trouble.
I'm being chased by... someone.

[MADELINE_PHONE left sad]

I don't really understand what's going on,{n}but I know I'm in danger.
I can feel it.

[EX_PHONE right normal]

{+MADELINE}, you only call me when you're{n}panicking in the middle of

You don't have to make up some{n}ridiculous story just to get my

I'm not making it up!
You always do this!

{~}Shhh{/~} {0.5}it's alright, calm down.

{+MADELINE}. Of course you're dreaming.

{+thought}RSVP-by-bird, positively magical!{+endthought}

[OSHIRO left drama]

But if I am unwelcome, I shall take my leave.

[MADELINE right sad]

Please stay, {+MROSHIRO}.

[MADELINE right normal]

It's good to see you.

{trigger 2 Oshiro settles in}

[GRANNY left normal]

Y'know, this is the first time I've seen{n}you outside that hotel of
yours, {+OSHIRO}.
I'm glad you made it.
{+MADELINE} here is baking us a pie with all{n}of the strawberries
she's been collecting.

[OSHIRO left normal]

Oh, that's wonderful, {+MS_MADELINE}.

[THEO right normal]

I haven't had {# F94A4A}strawberry pie{#} since I was a kid.

[THEO right excited]

This is gonna be amazing!

[BADELINE right scoff]

Don't get your hopes up, she's not much of a baker.

{trigger 3 Maddy Turns}

[MADELINE left normal]

 You also said I wasn't a mountain climber.

[BADELINE right worried]

True.

{trigger 3 Maddy Turns}

[MADELINE right sad]

I can't promise it'll live up to the hype, {+THEO}.

[MADELINE right normal]

But I tried my best.

EP_PIE_START=
[MADELINE right normal]
So?
How's it taste?

EP_PIE_DISAPPOINTED=
[THEO left wtf]
I guess this is technically a pie...

[OSHIRO left worried]

Is this some kind of joke, {+MS_MADELINE}?

[GRANNY left normal]

Strawberry pies are supposed to{n}have strawberries in them, dear.

EP_PIE_GROSSED_OUT=
[THEO left wtf]
{+MADELINE}, I super appreciate you baking for us...
But I don't think I can eat this.

[GRANNY left normal]

It's the thought that counts.

[BADELINE left angry]

You people just can't appreciate good food.
I'll eat all of it myself.

[MADELINE right sad]

You don't have to do that.

[BADELINE left worried]

Yeah... it was an empty threat.

EP_PIE_OKAY=
[OSHIRO left normal]
The important thing is that you{n}tried your best, {+MS_MADELINE}.

[BADELINE left angry]

Who invited this guy?

[THEO left thinking]

Come on, it's really good.

[GRANNY left normal]

I've certainly had worse.
 [THEO left normal]
Thanks for the pie, {+MADELINE}.

EP_PIE_REALLY_GOOD=
[GRANNY left normal]
I'm impressed!
This gives my baking a run for its money.

[BADELINE left normal]

Not bad.

[THEO left excited]

Holy crap!

[THEO left normal]

This is so tasty.

[OSHIRO left normal]

{+MS_MADELINE}, are you available to{n}cater our re-opening banquet?

[THEO left excited]

Can I take a slice home for {+ALEX}?
She'll die when she tastes this.

EP_PIE_AMAZING=
[THEO left wtf]
{+MADELINE}.

[THEO left excited]

This is the best thing I've ever tasted!

[MADELINE right sad]

Come on. Be honest.

[GRANNY left normal]

He's right, dear.
This is delicious.

[OSHIRO left normal]

It's truly magnificent, {+MS_MADELINE}.

[OSHIRO left worried]

{~}A symphony for the taste buds!{/~}

[BADELINE left scoff]

Can I take partial credit for this?

[MADELINE right normal]

Wow, thanks everyone.
I worked really hard for it.

About a year later...

APP_OLDLADY_A=
[GRANNY right normal]
Hey there, kiddo!
 Nice to see you again.

{trigger 0}

[GRANNY right normal flip]

Here's the cave I told you about{n}on the phone.

{silent_trigger 1}

Follow me.

APP_OLDLADY_B=
[MADELINE left sad]
What is this place?

[GRANNY right normal]

This passage leads to the center of the {+MOUNTAIN}.
You said you wanted to come{n}back and explore deeper...

{trigger 0 start laughing}

[GRANNY right laugh]

Doesn't get any deeper than this!

{trigger 1 stop laughing}

[GRANNY right normal]

Be careful, though.
When you get this close to the heart of the {+MOUNTAIN},{n}its power
will start affectin' you differently.

[MADELINE left sad]

Yeah, I already noticed some of that...

[GRANNY right normal]

Good luck in there.

APP_OLDLADY_C=
[GRANNY right normal]
Where's that other {+PART_OF_YOU}?

[MADELINE left sad]

I don't know... I expected her to show up by now.

[MADELINE left distracted]

Maybe I've changed, and{n}she's not {+PART_OF_ME} anymore.

[GRANNY right normal]

Or maybe you've grown together.
Maybe it's not so easy for the{n}{+MOUNTAIN} to separate you now.
I'd wager she's still with you, in some form.

[MADELINE left normal]

I like that theory better.

[MADELINE left distracted]

I still wish I could talk to her though.

APP_OLDLADY_D=
 [GRANNY right normal]
Do you keep in touch with {+THEO}?

[MADELINE left normal]

Yeah, he spent the summer in Vancouver.
We got to spend some quality time together.

[GRANNY right normal]

What's he up to these days?

[MADELINE left normal]

He's back in California with his family now.
He wants to be around while{n}his sister finishes law school.

[MADELINE left sad]

It sounds pretty intense, but he{n}wants to be there to support her.

[GRANNY right normal]

He seems like a nice young man.

APP_OLDLADY_E=
[MADELINE left normal]
It's been a while. How've you been?

[GRANNY right normal]

Oh, same old same old.

{trigger 0 start laughing}

[GRANNY right laugh]

And in my case, that's pretty old.

{trigger 1 end laughing}

[GRANNY right normal]

I'm not gettin' any younger, that's for sure.
Some days, just keeping the{n}lights on can take all my energy.
The {+MOUNTAIN} still keeps me sharp, though.

[GRANNY right mock]

I'm not ready to give up the ghost anytime soon.

[MADELINE left normal]

I'd expect no less from you.

[MADELINE left sad]

Take care of yourself.

APP_OLDLADY_LOCKED=
[MADELINE left sad]
That door up ahead won't budge.
Is there another way in?

[GRANNY right normal]

I'm afraid not, dear.

[GRANNY right mock]

You think the {+MOUNTAIN} is gonna{n}start going easy on you now?
 [GRANNY right normal]
I guess it doesn't think you're ready yet.

[MADELINE left sad]

Okay, {+CELESTE_MOUNTAIN} might be {~}weird and magical.{/~}

[MADELINE left upset]

But now you're telling me it can {~}"think",{/~} too?

[GRANNY right normal]

It doesn't think like you or me.
It's like... how a river thinks to flow to the sea.
You can make it sound crazy if you want.

[MADELINE left upset]

I know better than to doubt you.

[MADELINE left sad]

How do I convince it I'm ready?

[GRANNY right normal]

Heck if I know.
I'd retrace my steps, and really pay attention.
{+CELESTE_MOUNTAIN} must have more to teach you.

APP_ENDING=
...this is it?
This is what's at the center of all of this?
It's so empty... and vast...
Yet it feels nostalgic somehow.
And peaceful.
