Binary Choice: How Hungry are You? · 5:43pm Oct 5th, 2015
I kind of ran out of clever symbolism...
So here's another video game screenshot!
Binary Choice
The Wax Worker blinks in surprise when you speak. She looks around the room for a moment before spotting you.
She blushes and sets down her tools.
"I'm sorry, I tend to get distracted when I'm working. I didn't even hear you come in."
You smile and shrug. Happens to everyone.
"So... are you new in town? I don't think I've seen you here before."
You nod. Just arrived.
"A new arrival and the first place you go is the candle shop. I like you already." She giggles. "So, anything catch your eye? Or are you in the market for a special piece?"
Just browsing.
"Ah,"
...But, that blue one looks nice.
The Wax Worker smirks and pulls the 'blue one' closer. It's a dragon, like the kind you see in picture books. The model isn't too heavily detailed, but the wick being the beast's tongue is a nice touch.
"This guy is a bit of a one off. You light the wick and he spits sparks for a few minutes, but he melts rather quickly." She leans on the counter, still smirking. "Lots of fun in the dark, especially if you like pulling pranks. I can part with him for a reasonable price."
What's reasonable?
She gives you the figure.
...That is pretty reasonable.
This thing does sound like it would be good for laugh. You pay the Wax Worker and she carefully places your new friend in a plush-lined box, handing it over to you.
"Don't be a stranger," she calls to you as you leave.
You return her goodbye just before the door closes.
Well, you're off to a good start, aren't you? Shiny silver token and a spark-spitting wax figure. Just the sort of conversation pieces to have.
Well, you should probably be getting to your new place of residence. You have to settle in. But, you've neglected to buy from the lunch trolley on the train.
Results can be viewed at the poll. Next bit here.
Do a 'Hannibal' and eat part of your brain.
You see this? This is what I call the beginning of a really good story.
