What, it's completely silent? That's pretty weird.

What color are the berries? You can fairly safely test if a berry is edible by getting some of the juice on your lips and waiting a while. If nothing happens they're safe to eat.

Keep a sharp eye out, soundless isn`t normal so their might be a predator around.

Forget it, I'm not going to bite that. Everyone knows that Raiders of the Lost Ark is the best movie, anyway.

If it had a soundtrack, it'd have dinosaurs.
Do you really want to deal with dinosaurs?
Da da, da da, dadada dada da daaa

Well, if there were other survivors on your island, where would they have gone?

From the top of the tower you could probably see the whole island.

Also: Dinosaurs are awesome.

Also Also: since theres no background music, don't forget to make your own! You can't explore a tropical wilderness without background music.

Sorry, I forgot that part earlier.

It's not -completely- silent. The little brook is making trickling noises. But there aren't any animal sounds or anything like that.

You decide to remedy the background music problem by humming and whistling some tunes as you go.

>>429442

The berries are lots of different bright colors. They're pretty tasty, too!

>>429478

The only landmark of any sort you've seen on the island is the big tower, so you guess that if they went anywhere they'd probably be there. And if nothing else you'd be able to see most of the island from there.

Since the tower looked to be up and the brook seems to be flowing down, you decide to work on following it up until the canopy clears enough to find the tower.

You think you hear something.

There is a thing in the bushes to your left!
Also I would scold you for eating random berries but with your luck they're probably nutritious.

>>434889
It's an ONO bird.

>>434883

It's a T-Rex! It'll be your new best friend!

Coincidentally it ate Galliard.

You feel like something is watching you from the bushes, so you decide to investigate.

It turns out there was something! a tropical bird quickly bounds up onto your hat, leaning forward over the tip to look into your face.

A quick offering of berries is all it takes, the bird looks pretty happy! He also seems to be pretty satisfied being up on your hat, and makes no effort to leave his new perch.

>>435047

Dinosaurs are lizards, and you're pretty sure they're a lot bigger than this bird. And even if it was a dinosaur it'd be WAY too small to eat Galliard.

... you're pretty sure, anyway. you hope so.

It looks like some kind of neat little jewel thingie! It has some kind of shape visible in the facets, but you can't really make it out. The lighting isn't really good enough with all the plants and overgrowth above you to try to shine a light through it or anything.

You decide to take it with you, because it's tiny so why not.

You reach a spring that the creek you were following seems to be flowing from, so you can no longer follow it inward. You continue making your way across the island, though making your way through the brush is a bit slower-going without a relatively open path to follow. It's not so bad, though, you've got plenty of berries to snack on and your bird friend provides some musical accompaniment.

It's nearly sunset by the time the foliage starts to clear out and break, and then you see it. A large stone structure stands out against the otherwise plant-based surroundings, though it is itself more than a little overgrown. Rising out of the top of the structure is a high tower. It looks like you've reached your destination!

>>652226
Ok. Can you go inside? You don't want to be outside at night.

It looks like maybe the holes are supposed to have something in them? They don't have anything in them now, at any rate.

It looks like there's the same sort of hole in it, but it's way to big for the little jewel you found to go there.

The engraving in the wall doesn't really make much sense to you. There's what looks like it's probably supposed to be some people holding up two things next to the door, and there's some water and a sun and a bunch of people lying on their backs? And there's some pillars holding up something above the birds? It doesn't really make too much sense. Maybe if you were a cool professor on an adventure with your estranged greaser son you could figure it out.

It certainly looks like it might be intended to be the same shape. It's pretty abstract though.

It was light outside when you found the gem, there was plenty of light to see by. It's fun how the gem's faceting makes little patterns when you shine the flashlight through it in the dark, but it doesn't let you see it any better.

>>679749

The 'Door' appears to be a bunch of solid panels with no hinges or anything. It looks like there's some sort of mechanism at the sides recessed into the wall that operates it, but you have no idea how to do so!

>>679757
So the figures are carved into the wall? Can't move any of them?
The one holding up a thing on the right looks like the symbol above the door, maybe you can press on that figure? Also I think there might be a button or something on the frame near that figure, but maybe that's just an oddly shaped crack.

Lacking any results from that, you could investigate the rubble near the right statue, try piecing some of it together maybe to see if the statue is the same shape as the one on the left?

Your bird friend hops back down onto your hat as you duck through the hole in the door and ascend the staircase.

After climbing for a short time you find yourself in another chamber, there are small cracks in the wall that are letting enough light in to see by, but they're too thin to see out of. There's a seated statue with a fancy-looking hat on top of it, the hat doesn't look like it's a part of the statue. There's a big fancy symbol on the wall that looks like a door, but it seems to just be etched on and lined with some weird material. It doesn't crumble when you touch it this time, either.

You go to pick up the fancy hat on the statue, but your bird friend flaps off of your hat and lands on top of it, knocking it back down!

I guess we're not taking the headdress.

Huh. Okay then.
How sensitive is your mysticbullshitometer, Pavane? Thinkin' that might come in handy soon.
Also, considering all the bird imagery in that templey room we came though to get here, maybe bird friend may be a little more involved in this place than we know.

You already pulled the switch, it was supposed to launch the lifeboat! It didn't, though, which honestly doesn't surprise you as much as it probably should.

The room is definitely at a weird slope, but it's not so steep that you can't stand on it. It seems like the whole thing lost power, and the only light now comes from what is probably a bunch of emergency lights? It looks like something is coming in through the front windshields in the cockpit on the other side of the door, so at least the turtle probably isn't underwater.

The Door seems to be jammed, probably because it's out of power, or maybe because of whatever mechanical failure caused the thing to not actually launch like it was supposed to anyway.

As you wake up, you start to realize that everything hurts a lot. But that's not really unusual either.

well of course not, you still haven't even told me what you want to do.

This guy is just the absolute worst. Should you tell him what you want to do, or just walk off and let him sulk in his crack?

just walk away.
"Trouble" is clearly not worth any time

>you can see everything in here
If that's true, then it's made of shadows.

You know what this is probably a bad idea but at least it'll be interesting. Tell Trouble that you intend to explore the island and survive until you find Pavane again, then the two of you can make plans to get back to civilization somehow.

Be careful with the wording. I don't think it's wise to tell Trouble you want to survive until you meet her.

Let's ask for directions. He must know where Pavane is and what direction you need to go to find her.

>>779464
Okay, we could word it like "survive and find Pavane, then live off the land with her until she wants to leave, at which point the two of you will head back to civilization somehow"

You got any MREs in there, Trouble? Maybe an inflatable raft? Satelite phone?
