[0000] The door is locked.
|
|
[0001] Currently, Lolotte's ornate, gilded throne is empty.
|
|
[0002] The carpeted stairs lead to Lolotte's gilded throne.
|
|
[0003] There is nothing but wall behind the tapestry.
|
|
[0004] Two strange-looking tapestries hang on the wall behind Lolotte's throne.
|
|
[0005] You see two open doorways.
|
|
[0006] There is nothing of importance on the walls.
|
|
[0007] There is nothing of importance on the floor.
|
|
[0008] The carpet leads to Lolotte's throne.
|
|
[0009] Lolotte's throne room is cold, dark, and ominous. From here, she rules her domain with an evil hand.
|
|
[0010] You don't have time for that.
|
|
[0011] Just go there.
|
|
[0012] OH, NO!! The door is locked!
|
|
[0013] What now, Rosella?!
|
|
[0014] It already is.
|
|
[0015] You don't have the key to unlock this door.
|
|
[0016] ERROR
|
|
[0017] "Well, my pets," Lolotte hisses, "What have you drug home today?"
|
|
[0018] Lolotte gives you the once over, and as she does her red eyes begin to narrow.
|
|
[0019] "Are you a foolish girl who wandered here by mistake...or are you a SPY sent here by my enemy, Genesta?!"
|
|
[0020] You swear to Lolotte that you are nothing but a poor peasant girl who has lost her way, but she doesn't seem to believe you as her mouth begins to snarl and her eyes narrow to mere slits.
|
|
[0021] For the first time, you experience real fear and begin to tremble.
|
|
[0022] Lolotte snarls, "You don't look STUPID enough to have wandered HERE. I believe you're a SPY!"
|
|
[0023] "Take her to the cell!"
|
|
[0024] Lolotte gives you a sickly-sweet look. "You're lucky, my dear," she coos.
|
|
[0025] "My precious son, Edgar, has taken a liking to you, and he believes you. He's convinced me to give you a chance to prove your innocence."
|
|
[0026] You glance at the homely young man standing next to Lolotte. He blushes.
|
|
[0027] Lolotte continues, "I wish to own the unicorn that inhabits the meadowland."
|
|
[0028] "Bring me the unicorn, and I shall not only set you free, but reward you as well."
|
|
[0029] To her henchmen, Lolotte orders, "Go! Take her back to the forest!"
|
|
[0030] "So," Lolotte says, "I hear you were a good girl and brought me the unicorn."
|
|
[0031] "I'm ALMOST convinced you might be innocent after all. But..." she clears her throat, "not quite."
|
|
[0032] Oh, oh. This doesn't sound good, you think.
|
|
[0033] Lolotte continues, "I am desirous of the hen that lays the golden eggs. Currently, the hen is kept by the ogre and his wife."
|
|
[0034] "Bring me the hen, and you shall have your freedom and a great reward!"
|
|
[0035] "Take her away!" Lolotte orders her goons.
|
|
[0036] "What a good girl you are!" Lolotte gushes. "I really ought to give you your reward right now!"
|
|
[0037] She pauses, and you wonder what she's up to.
|
|
[0038] Lolotte goes on to say, "But, I have just the tiniest bit of doubt left."
|
|
[0039] "If you do just ONE MORE thing for me, I'll be COMPLETELY convinced of your innocence and you'll receive a wonderful reward!"
|
|
[0040] Somehow, you don't quite believe her.
|
|
[0041] "I want to have Pandora's Box. It is said that whoever owns it would be in possession of the purest evil."
|
|
[0042] Lolotte's red eyes glow as she exclaims, "With the power and evil of Pandora's Box, I would be UNSTOPPABLE!"
|
|
[0043] Your terror returns as you realize what an evil being Lolotte really is!
|
|
[0044] You wonder if you should be helping her in this way. But...what can you do about it? Nothing...right now.
|
|
[0045] "I don't know the whereabouts of Pandora's Box," Lolotte tells you. "You must search for it yourself."
|
|
[0046] Again, she orders her henchmen to "Take her away!"
|
|
[0047] Lolotte smiles an evil smile. "You know," she says, "I've never asked you your name. What is it?"
|
|
[0048] You tell her "Rosella."
|
|
[0049] "Rosella. What a pretty name." You wonder what this is all about.
|
|
[0050] You find out soon enough. "Well, Rosella," Lolotte grins ominously, "You've earned your reward!"
|
|
[0051] "My son, Edgar, has fallen in love with you. I wish him to be happy, and I give you the honor of being his wife and MY daughter-in-law!"
|
|
[0052] Your heart turns flips and somersaults as you hear this.
|
|
[0053] "You'll be married first thing in the morning," she informs you.
|
|
[0054] "You will sleep in Edgar's room tonight, while my son sleeps elsewhere."
|
|
[0055] She motions to her goons. "Let us relieve you of your burdensome load before you retire."
|
|
[0056] You are so shocked by this tragic turn of events, that you hardly notice your possessions being taken away.
|
|
[0057] To her goons, Lolotte orders, "Escort our Rosella to her room."
