Your day has started as a scholar in Venice in the 12th century. It is the middle of spirng, withthe warm sun shinning outside.
(set: $PlayerName to (either: "Bortolozzo", "Josefina", "Yeineffer"))
(set: $TravelorName to (either: "Jun", "Termika" , "Brusles"))
[[Wake up!]]
As a scholar, most of your day would be spent at the library, from disscussing theories with others, to conducting experiments to prove your own theory. Today however, everything started differently. You did not wake up by them bird's chirping, but by the sound of comotions and celebrations.
As a scholar, or as an avergae person this touched your curiosity, but there is so many things to do, other than to be distracted by random comotions.
[[ Get ready for the day]]
[[ Go outside check what is the noise coming from?]]
While it is still very noisy outsde, the crowed is slowly moving down towards the center. What seemed to be an eternity in noise, quickly everything came back to normal.
You finish getting ready and head of for the day.
Since the day already started off very differently than the usual, you start contemplating if today should be treated as a special type of day.
"I can go straight to the Librbary, there is a disccusion I
[[Take a detour towards the Library ]]
[[Go straight to the Library]]
"CROWD NOISE"
The noise coming outside becomes overwheling once you peek your head out the door. There seems to be a parade celebrating some people. The local people are chanting and signing, but it does not help in figuring out why there is a reason for such festivities.
You are trying to get pass the crowd, following the comotion towards the city enter.
[[You bumped into an old woman]]
[[You trip on a basket of apples]]You dash straight to the librabry to do what you love, ague all day with old men, and conduct theories to check whther you are right or wrong. Everyday feels liek you are learing soemthing new. slowly as time passes and the seasons change, you remai inthe cozy library, increasing your knoweldge.
[["You died as a untraveled scholar, never to see the wonders of the world! ->Start]] ""BLOOP""
You trip over this elderly woman who has (either: "long white hair", "white eyes", "this sour deminor"), both of you were caught completely by surprise.
"Good day miss, I did not see you as my attention was taking by all of the excitement by the people...My name is $PlayerName, my greatest appologies."
You help her get back on to her feet and surprisingly enough, she knows what is happening. A Group of caravans just returned from their journey on the Silk road. Naturually everyone is excited.
You finish helping her out and she gives you an apple as a thank you for helping her
[[Thank her and eat the apple]]There is the main steps in the city that leads straight to the Library. What many do not know is that there is another passage that takes you through the back of the city in between the gardens of the elites. Obviosuly, not anyone can take this passage as it is between private propoerty, but there are a few luxuries of being a scholar.
Each garden more beautiful than the next, as you slowply fiish the pretties partof the detour and reach back to the main parts of town.
[[continue towards the Library]]Up ahead are the steps towards the Librbary. IT is surrounded by beautiful statues and some of the most exotic plants and flowers.
Apperently thats the last you remembered before falling face first to the ground...
[[...I fell?...]]
As you walked towards the start of the steps, you were distracted by the new flower bloomings.
A horse got startled with your presense and kicked oyu directly in the head without you even realzing it!
[["You died as a untraveled scholar, never to see the wonders of the world! ->Start]] You follow the noise towards the town center, and there they were.
A group of tired, smelly, honestly not well kept group of men and women. Along with that musk they had the smell of a travelor, a person who has pexperienced things beyond just themselves.
Part of you wanted that musk, to walk until your feet hurt then walk some more after that.
You want to talk to them , hear their adventuours stories and every detail taht it entails.
[[Go talk to them!]]
[[Wait until the crowed dies down]]With a spring in your step you elegently dash towards the travelors
"Good greatings travelors, my name is $PlayerName , I am one of the many scholars here. It is a pleasure to meet you"
" Hello my friend, I am $TravelorName. I am sorry, but I cannot converse for too long, I need to feed my animals and settle into town in order to sell my merchandise"
I told him that I could show him around after he is finished, I still wanted to hear much from him. We were
"We will meet at sunset here, then I can show you my city"
The day seemed to take longer to pass, each hour feeling like an eterity
[[It is sunset]]Giving the merchatnst some time for the strom to cool off seemed like a good idea. They were able to sell products to the local people and settle in a little bit more.
With your heart at your throat, you walk up to what seems to be one the smaller group leaders
"Hello bruv, I saw you looking around, was wonderin' when you come closer. My name is $TravelorName , we finally came back to Venice.
If you see anything you like, get it one time! We are onky here for a few days, most our things sell pretty fast"
Your are shocked, they just arrived and they are already going to leave!
You wanted to ask so many questions but time is so precious now, you are able to quickly think of two question
[[ "Where do you guys travel through?"]]
[[ "CAN I JOIN YOUR NEXT TRAVELS?"]]Double-click this passage to edit it.
[[the noise is not worth it ->Take a detour towards the Library ]]
"Can I please join? I will be no bother to anyone"
I pleaded to what is from this morning a total stranger
[["pleaaaaseeeee" -> "CAN I JOIN YOUR NEXT TRAVELS?"]] Double-click this passage to edit it."I CAN JOIN?"
I asked again to verify.
"Why not... Aslong as you work along one aother, watch eachtoehr's backs, with other details... There should not be any issue, at least with us.
