[]
The current date is December 31st, 2024.
It was just announced that the world is a simulation, and will be shut down on the turn of the new year.
Many are panicking, but not all.
In the living room of a small apartment, a girl works tirelessly.
Not to save the world...
but to create a new one.

Prologue_2=
[Madeline left sad]
It’s a damn shame that the phone lines and internet went down so fast.
[Madeline left distracted]
Alex... Theo...
[Madeline left sadder]
Mom...
If I had more than a day's notice, I could’ve found them...
[Madeline left panic]
Found them and...
...
[Madeline left sad]
I don’t know what’s going to happen.
[Madeline left distracted]
I could set this thing going and then... just die anyway.
...
Not like I have any better options. I just wish-
[]
{!}BEEP BEEP BEEP!!{/!}
[Madeline left sad]
That’s 5 minutes left. Better not push it.
...
[Madeline left sadder]
Alright.
Goodbye world. Or... whatever you were.
...
[Madeline left distracted]
Hopefully something better is waiting for me.

Lobby_Lobby1=
[Madeline left surprised]
I’m alive!
[Madeline left sadder]
I... can’t believe this worked.
[Madeline left distracted]
So this is what computer memory looks like...
Man those techy movies were on the nose.
...
Anyway...
...
[Madeline left sadder]
I wish I wasn’t alone here.
[Madeline left sad]
Hey, wait, hold on.
Part of Me? Can you manifest here?
...
[Madeline left sadder]
Sigh.
Looks like it’s going to be a lot of talking to myself so I don’t go crazy.
...
[Madeline left sad]
Crazy as fast, I guess.
Okay. Gameplan.
If my guess was correct, our world’s simulation wasn’t the only one being run on this machine.
If they were able to get something going with that much detail, they would easily have the resources to run multiple.
[Madeline left distracted]
I just need... let’s say... to take some resources off the top of 5 simulations to be comfortable without being notified.
Well... until any of those get shut down.
[Madeline left normal]
But, it could be nice. I can have my own nice private island.
[Madeline left sad]
Make myself some new friends.
[Madeline left sadder]
...
[Madeline left sad]
Jeez.
...
Hopefully the effort I put in to make simulation access easy wasn’t put to waste.
Nothing left to do now but look around.

Lobby_Entrance1=
[Madeline left sad]
Well that didn’t take very long.
[Madeline left determined]
No need to waste any more time, let’s get connected to that simulation.

Lobby_Lobby2=
[Madeline left normal]
That simulation was surprisingly pleasant.
[Madeline left sad]
I can’t really expect them to all be like that though.
Looks like I’m going to get to pick my poison though, I got 2 openings in the same pocket coming up.
[Madeline left sadder]
...
I mean I knew I would get lonely, but I was hoping that would settle in after I got my personal simulation set up.
[Madeline left sad]
Maybe I’ll get lucky and someone else got out of the simulation too.
I don’t like the odds of that though.
[Madeline left sadder]
...
I don’t think I’ll be able to get past having the people I create in my simulation not being real.
I mean, creating something that can think and feel, that’s just-
...
That’s not right...

Lobby_Lobby3=
[Madeline left sad]
Man those places were really something special.
[Madeline left distracted]
Maybe I should’ve stuck around with those frogs, even that Crawfish doesn’t seem so bad when I’m back here.
[Madeline left sad]
Just... none of this is right.
I can think, I can love, I can feel.
And I can just be easily thrown away because by someone else’s definition I’m not real.
[Madeline left sadder]
...
[Madeline left sad]
I wish I could be real. That would show them.
Show whoever did this to me.
[Madeline left sadder]
...
I can’t even begin to imagine how life would be in the real world.
[Madeline left surprised]
For all I know the simulation is being ran by talking frogs!
[Madeline left sad]
That doesn’t make it any less messed up though.
...
I just want some kind of feeling to be vindicated.
...
[Madeline left sadder]
You know what.
I’ll just own it.
I’m not real.
Therefore, nothing I do really matters.
[Madeline left sad]
Therefore, I can do whatever I want and not feel bad about it, right? Since I matter so little?
...
[Madeline left angry]
Maybe I’ll do the same shit, huh?!
Make my own simulations and just watch people suffer? Suffer a mundane directionless life?
Why should I do anything at all?
...
Why do...
[Madeline left sadder]
...
There’s got to be some silver lining here.
I’m... I don’t think I’m a bad person.
But I guess I’m not really anything anymore.
Without the context of a world I’m just...
Some numbers, I guess.
...
[Madeline left sad]
Might as well just make being here comfortable. Out of some kind of spite.
...
Why would I want to be real?

Lobby_Lobby4=
[Madeline left sad]
I’m really close now but... 
[Madeline left sadder]
I’m just losing whatever motivation I got left.
How good can paradise be when you’re by yourself.
[Madeline left angry]
And how can it be paradise when it’s not even real?!
[Madeline left sadder]
That’s like, as dystopian as it gets...
...
I need something more.
...
[Madeline left sad]
I’ll have the rest of forever to figure out what that is, I guess.

Lobby_Final=
[Madeline left sad]
This is it.
Looks like it’s going to be digging through a senseless garble of code to get out of here.
Fitting.
...
[Madeline left distracted]
If I pull this off...
Make it into the real world...
Does that really... make me real.
...
[Madeline left determined]
If I’m saying this, it has to.
...
[Madeline left together]
Here we go.

SlotA_Eu1=
[Madeline left normal]
{~}Heyyy{/~}, a beach town! Not bad.
Maybe I’ll just stay here...
[Madeline left sad]
Nah, whoever is running these will find me if I stick around too long.
Let me just look for an easy space to nab some resources, then hop out.

SlotA_Eu2=
[Madeline left normal]
Man, the view from up here is really something.
[Madeline left surprised]
I have to be 40, maybe 50 meters above the ground!
[Madeline left normal]
Alex would’ve loved this.
[Madeline left sad]
...
[Madeline left sadder]
Alex wasn’t...
Forget it.

SlotA_Eu3=
[Madeline left normal]
Nice! I should be able to nab some resources from here and get going.
Looks like the city flooded just beneath here, good thing I didn’t have to go through that. 
Though, I detected some other unused resources not too far from here.
[Madeline left sad]
In... the flood.
[Madeline left normal]
Well, I don’t need it, but it wouldn’t be terrible to have some more ram or memory to play with.

SlotA_NoahCrawfish=
[Madeline right normal]
Huh, that's neat. I wasn't really expecting there to be any living life in these.
[]
{#d13c2c}Ay buddy! Watch the grass! You can't find any grass like this in the whole world, so this is mine!
[Madeline right surprised]
{#}It can talk!
[Madeline right normal]
I guess in these simulations... anything goes.
[]
{#d13c2c}Yeah I can talk, what about it?
Any sensible crawfish can talk.
[Madeline right normal]
{#}Neat!
Say, have you seen any... 
[Madeline right sad]
Well I don't think you would understand what I'm looking for.
[]
{#d13c2c}Don't worry about it... I haven't really been paying attention anyway.
You see, I'm deep in a game of mahjong... I've been planning my next turn for awhile.
[Madeline right sad]
{#}Mahjong? But I don't see anyone else here who could play with you?
[]
{#d13c2c}That's because it's an online game!
[Madeline right sad]
{#}...
But... your tablet... is off.
From the water damage.
[]
{#d13c2c}Yeah, this flood has given me a lot of time to think about the turn.
[Madeline right sad]
{#}Yeah... sure buddy.
[]
{#d13c2c}Whatever, you're not even real.
[Madeline right angry]
{#}Neither are you!
[]
{#d13c2c}Touché white girl.
Touché...

SlotB_Luxaris1=
[Madeline left surprised]
Woah! Space! With a breathable atmosphere!
[Madeline left normal]
Hopefully this isn’t too tricky to navigate.
I wonder if I’ll find life up here... or water?
[Madeline left sad]
I guess we never did find any liquid water on our Mars.
[Madeline left angry]
Damn developers coded in cancer nice and easy but couldn’t throw us a bone there?
God, it’s one thing to be an asshole but you have to be boring on top of that?
[Madeline left sad]
...
[Madeline left determined]
My simulation will have Mars and water.

SlotB_Luxaris2=
[Madeline left sad]
Woah okay, my free resources meter is going off the charts up ahead.
How would I even open the path to get over there?
Regardless, I could go and grab that, but it’s probably better if I grab the main resource pocket I’m looking for first, in case I can’t come back.
[Madeline left normal]
I’ll set up a link to make it easy to come back here later if I get kicked out.

SlotB_LuxarisDonker=
[]
...
Ah.
It’s you...
Have we met before?
Perhaps, perhaps not, I suppose it’s not too important now.
[Madeline left sad]
I have a hard time believing we've met.
[]
Oh?
How peculiar.
The puppet is aware...
[Madeline left sad]
Puppet?
I've been through a lot in the last day, but that's still pretty cold.
[]
Hm. It matters not.
[Madeline left angry]
...
[]
Anyways, You.
You have an air of familiarity about you, almost as if I’ve known you before...
Perhaps in an alternate reality.
A reality in which this comet we are on, Comet Luxa, did not have a unit such as myself.
[Madeline left sad]
Comet Luxa? Is that where we are now?
[]
Yes, indeed it is.
However, in this version of Comet Luxa, I am here.
I believe the reality you are originally from barred me from Luxa for a reason.
Hm.
Perhaps...
It was not a story I was relevant in.
[Madeline left upset]
...
What?
[]
Ah.
I am not talking to you, Madeline.
But know this.
You have had so many stories dedicated to you.
I have witnessed few, but I feel there is a version of Luxa that was all yours.
After all, You may have come from there.
Either way, it matters not.
You both have a goal to reach, right?
[Madeline left sad]
...
Well... It's just me... And...
[Madeline left distracted]
Do I even bother explaining this?
[Madeline left sad]
Okay, basically, I need this worlds... uh... {~}"energy source"{/~}... to... go home.
Yes, home.
[]
Ah, my power source.
Hm... first You stole my power source on comet Luna, and will again here too?
Well, maybe You didn’t do that.
I can’t know for sure.
Either way, I am honored to be a part of something greater.
It should be ahead if you keep trekking.
[Madeline left sad]
...
Uh...
Something tells me you'll be fine.
I guess some other version of me was the one messing with you.
[]
Ah.
An alternate reality version... Not of you... but of You.
It was nice meeting you again after all this time.
My circuits grow tired, as I never met any grim fate like I perhaps could have.
Hm.
Maybe it will be nice to rest.
[Madeline left sad]
...
Rest easy.

SlotC_Musippy1=
[Madeline left surprised]
Woah, another city! This one seems a lot drier.
[Madeline left normal]
And what is this, a giant frog? Cuttteeee!
Sorry Froggy, I’m not here to hang out!
[Madeline left peaceful]
Though... maybe I’ll take you with me to keep me company... Hehe.
[Madeline left sad]
Nah, that’s not right.
I can’t just throw an innocent frog into a drastic change like that.
...
[Madeline left angry]
Are these assholes listening yet?!
How could you do that to me!
[Madeline left sadder]
...
[Madeline left sad]
On second thought, I shouldn’t try and catch that attention.
Once I’m set up... I’ll go throw some resources at their resource equivalent of Ahorn and give them a headache.
[Madeline left distracted]
...
That thing really was slow, huh.

SlotC_Musippy2=
[Madeline left sad]
Looks like I’ll have the chance to nab some free resources if I take a nap here.
While a nap would be nice... I really should do that after I grab the main resource pocket I’m looking for first, in case I can’t come back.
[Madeline left normal]
I’ll set up a link to make it easy to come back here later if I get kicked out.


SlotC_NoahCrawfish=
[Madeline right surprised]
You again?
[]
{#d13c2c}Erm... I have never met you in my life.
[Madeline right normal]
{#}It's unmistakable, you're that mahjong playing crawfish from before!
[]
{#d13c2c}Lady, I'm sure there are plenty of mahjong playing crawfishes around.
Honestly, it's a bit insensitive to assume they're all the same person.
[Madeline right sad]
{#}...
I guess I don't really know the rules of these simulations yet...
[]
{#d13c2c}Nah I'm pulling your chain I'm the same one.
[Madeline right upset]
{#}Oh.
[]
{#d13c2c}You caught me before at my summer home! Now you catch me at my home home...
Almost like... it's fate?
[Madeline right sad]
{#}I guess it could be.
[]
{#d13c2c}How could we know for sure?
Say, are you busy later?
[Madeline right sad]
{#}...
[Madeline right normal]
Yes.

SlotC_NoahCrawfish2=
[]
{#d13c2c}
I knew you would come back.
It's true, beautiful women like yourself can't stay away from the Crawfish Boil. 
[Madeline right sad]
{#}Uh...
Wouldn't you want to get with...
I don't know...
Another Crawfish?
[]
{#d13c2c} {!}EW! NO!{/~}{/!}
Female Crawfish... not my cup of tea.
What's the issue with mixed species couples anyway?
[Madeline right sad]
{#}...
Do you want the abridged version?
[]
{#d13c2c}Hehe... {~}no{/~}.
[Madeline right normal]
{#}Good.

SlotC_NoahCrawfish3=
[]
{#d13c2c}Listen, I know I was weird before.
But, promise! There's no Crawfish like me!
[Madeline right sad]
{#}...
I don't doubt that.
Listen... you, me... It would never work.
[]
{#d13c2c}Why?
[Madeline right sad]
{#}Well for starters...
[Madeline right upset]
I don't like you.
[]
{#d13c2c}Yeah, people say that.
But do they {~}mean{/~} it?
[Madeline right upset]
{#}...
I'm about to miss my bus.
[]
{#d13c2c}Hey, wait! The bubble only leaves on demand!
[Madeline right upset]
{#}Oh no, it's leaving.....
[]
{#d13c2c}{!}{~}NOOOOOOOO!!!!{/!}{/~}

SlotC_Frog=
[Madeline left normal]
This is a lot calmer than the other alternate realities.
I never asked if these Frogs could talk like that Crawfish!
Hey, Frog! What's going on!
[]
{#22a813} {~}Ribbbbbbbit.{/~}
[Madeline left upset]
{#}Figures.
[]
{#22a813}Woah woah! Sorry! Just had something in my throat!
[Madeline left normal]
{#}Woah! Talking Frog!
Say, Frog, what's going on?
[]
{#22a813}It's the {~}Crispmas Festival!{/~}
[Madeline left sad]
{#}You mean Christmas?
[]
{#22a813}Nope! It's Crispmas.
[Madeline left sad]
{#}And what is that?
[]
{#22a813}It's the one day a year we all kick back, and really celebrate a truly important man!
{~}Crispybag!{/~}
[Madeline left sad]
{#}...
That's a weird name to have... [Madeline left normal]but, sure! Sounds fun enough.
What did this Crispybag do to have a whole festival for him?
[]
{#22a813}Well... y'know...
Uh...
Well... the story...
Uh...
Hm...
Uh...
Well... the original story has been lost to time!
I think it's just an excuse to take off work.
[Madeline left sad]
{#}Ah. Fair enough. I wish I had more of those.
[Madeline left normal]
Well, Frog, have a good time. Thanks for chatting.
[]
{#22a813} {~}Ribbbbbbbit.{/~}
You as well!

{#ad46e0}I didn't ask for this.
They do it every year.

SlotD_Cotton1=
[Madeline left surprised]
Man what are these people trying to simulate?
[Madeline left sad]
I’m really lucky out here not dropping in to some kind of extinction event.
[Madeline left surprised]
This whole reality is made out of sugar!
[Madeline left sad]
Though it looks like intelligent life will be far and few between, if any.
...
[Madeline left normal]
Butterflies can keep me company!
...
[Madeline left sadder]
I’ll just go find the resource pocket.


SlotD_Secret=
[]
Etched into the sugar is some writing:
A treasure unused by a world of delight.
Go to the highest point described by a secret.
Head to the sky, day, noon, or night.
Another Dimension awaits you, find the treasure and you can keep it.
...
At least that's what you think it says, sugar isn't the best medium for text.

SlotE_Small1=
[Madeline left sadder]
Something more...

SlotE_Small2=
[Madeline left sad]
I guess dropping into these simulations is keeping me engaged enough.

SlotE_Small3=
[Madeline left distracted]
I mean, they can be real to the people in it.

SlotE_Small4=
[Madeline left sadder]
No...

SlotE_Small5=
[Madeline left sadder]
No... I need something more.

SlotE_Touch1=
[Madeline left sad]
No...
[Madeline left panic]
No!
I can’t already be at the resource pocket, I haven’t even been here a minute!
I’m... I’m not ready to go!
I...
Please...
I need something more!
{!}PLEASE!{/!}
[Madeline left angry]
Doesn’t that mean anything to anyone?
Why did you have to make me this way!
[Madeline left sadder]
If I’m not going to be real, why did you make every single aspect of my life...
Matter...
Matter to someone, matter to {*}me{/*}.
[Madeline left angry]
Just to throw us away after some arbitrary metric has been reached!
Can you hear me?
{!}WHY!{/!}
Why was my existence, any of our existences, without consequence to whoever wanted to play God!
You don’t get to just get away with this without any of the guilt!
[Madeline left panic]
I {*}need{/*} something more!
I {*}need{/*} to be real!
I matter! I matter just as much as anybody real!
I {*}am{/*} real!
I’m {*}thinking{/*}! I’m {*}feeling{/*}!
I {*}have{/*} to matter, I {*}have{/*} to be real!
I miss my Mom! I miss Alex!
I miss loving someone, I miss being loved!
How could I not matter if I’ve experienced that! 
{*}You all made me this way!
...
I have to matter...
Please...
[Madeline left sadder]
I matter...
Please...
I...{/*}
...
[Madeline left sad]
Matter.
...
No...
Surely... 
Surely I couldn’t do that.
They would...
...
It...
[Madeline left normal]
It just might be possible.
[Madeline left sad]
...
I {*}can{/*} be real.
By no metric would it be easy but...
[Madeline left distracted]
Theoretically... possible...
These simulations use up so much energy...
[Madeline left sad]
I could reencode my consciousness into the real world.
Surely if they can manage this they have some kind of cloning or automata up. I just need to send my consciousness data there.
[Madeline left distracted]
Then...
[Madeline left determined]
Haha... then I’ll be {*}real{/*}.
And the memories of everyone I loved...
They will be real.
...
[Madeline left sad]
Okay. New game plan.
Step 1: Grab this resource pocket real quick.
Step 2: Use all the resources I gathered to find the largest free memory heap on this machine.
Step 3: Get access to that heap and use all of this machine's resources to encode myself into the real world.
...
[Madeline left determined]
This can work.
I knew I was real.
Alright, Madeline.
Let’s go home.

SlotE_Touch2=
[Madeline left sad]
Oh... it was fake.
[Madeline left distracted]
...
[Madeline left sad]
Good talk regardless.

Heartside_Ending=
[Madeline left sad]
Here it is...
With this, I can encode myself into the real world.
...
Real...
What does that really mean?
Maybe... living? Would be a better word to describe all this?
...
Doesn't matter now. I'm here and I will be real.
