[theme song]

Once upon a time, there was a story who was loved. A story who had been read over and over and over again, loved by everyone who had read it. At some point, it had been reinvented and reimagined over and over and over until the original couldn't be recognized anymore. Even the story itself can't remember what story they originally were. Instead, all they have is a remnant of their original story as their name.

Their goal?

To remember who they once were.

Once upon a time, you were someone who knew this story well. You read that story over and over and over again because you loved it so dearly, but at some point, you grew up. You left that magical world and ended up in a world that had forgotten the world of magic.

But one day, you remembered that magic. You remembered the world that you loved, that story you loved, and you wake up in the new world.

But you don't quite remember the details.

If you can remember the story through the LOVE LOVE DOKI DOKI in your heart, you might be able to help the suitor (aka the story) to remember who they truly are, and maybe also, figure out who that story truly wants to be.

The story holds out their hand to you to help you up from the field you were lying in.

...if this guy hates troublemakers shouldn't selling out other crooks appeal t'him most.

[i hate this]

[ I HATE THAT TOO

WHY WON'T YOU JUST LET ME KILL OUR DATE ]

[cuz hes gonna kill us]

Think he would like confessing too, because includes saying we're sorry for making trouble. Is not real trial, so shouldn't guess by what we would actually do in court.

We didn't do shit! I ain't takin' the fall for some stupid shit that ain't even happen! I don't give a fuck if it ain't fluffy, I wanna make this guy pay for this stupid miserable excuse of a date!

We didn't, but don't know if he did either. Is all Choose Your Own Adventure fairytale, and throwing partner under bus is choosing to be a bad date.

Fine, then I'll be a bad fuckin' date.

[ grrrrrrrRRRRRRrrrrrrrr ]

What do we get out of that? Is that strategic?

[ hold on mom and dad are fighting ]

[ idk at some point he's surely going to calm down probably

inhale.

exhale. ]

. . .

This guy doesn't give a shit about himself. We buried him in the sand for an hour and he found that t'be a positive experience.

What he cares about is givin' other people trouble, the safety of others, and whatnot.

Threatenin' people is literally causin' more trouble for more people.
Admitting to stealing means we're admitting t'bein' troublemakers.
Givin' other people up means causin' a lotta trouble for a whole lotta other people. It's also admittin' t'bein' troublemakers.

Givin' him up's makin' trouble for him, but he ain't care if we give him trouble.

And besides that, the text says that we're obviously being framed. It's the only one that explicitly determines our innocence.

That he enjoyed being buried in sand doesn't say he doesn't care about himself. A neutral experience would have been not caring about himself.

The text says "item we pilfered" too. The options are just ways to pick direction of story. Maybe we're so pissed at the guy we go "well obviously!" so text says "well obviously!" Maybe someone else framed us and we confessed because people confess to things they didn't do all the time. Maybe we end up with community service dates. Maybe we snitch and finger other criminals, because neither of us did it.

And anyways, how are we going to date an executed guy?

It ain't real yeh and we gotta fucking. Play along some sorta way.

Is about what sheep and Goldie want, not what we want.

...which one is best for the Goldie?

Not 1. Threatens life, puts on spot. No love in it.
Not 2. Thought we were too risky for jumping in front of truck. Is not impressed by bravado.
Maybe 3. If we're not sarcastic about learning lesson, could work. Is... growth?
Maybe 4. Is not strong or impressive, plea bargains don't look good for anyone, but might be neutral option. Don't think he can complain about it.

Maybe four then, Tart might hate that less.

Maybe we'll get angry criminals after us for it. Might be happy if becomes more like adventure story.

[ gRABBING HIS SHIRT ]

What the fuck!? I didn't say shit like—this ain't about that!

[SNARLS IN HIS FACE WHEN GRABBED]

[ does not recoil from that, grip firm ]

It ain't about bein' good enough! It ain't your fault you died! You couldn't've done anything—it was random and besides that, I made the choice!

If ya wanna gripe about it, ya can blame me for lettin' it happen to ya—for trustin' Rose!

[ with his own teeth bared ]

And you know! You know if it were Rose an' us in the pit I'd've turned 'em all into sand before they could touch ya! Like I'm aboutta turn this fuckin' date to sand!

I ain't blame any of ya for it except myself....! So fuck off with that!

Yer all up in yer feels when Muffin's right we gotta be strategical and shit!! So stop thinking with yer fangs and use yer fucking head! Cuz even a dumb asshole like me can see yer too up yer own ass right now.
