Alright, take a look around to see where you are.

Hey, do you remember anything from before you woke up in there?

ok so step one is over now lets take a look around and see where we are and what step 2 should be.

Be less adorable before HNNNNNNNG

Look around, try to get some handle on where you are, and prepare to defend yourself from whatever may threaten you.

There's something in the sky above me. Another sphere? The sun's behind it, so I can't really tell.

As for my memory…

I don't remember how I got here, or what I was doing before that, or… anything, really.

I'm sure I can remember my name, though! It's…

It's on the tip of my tongue…

Nest?

anyway, touch cube.

You look like a Willow to me
or like maybe a Lila. Or Fluffy.
I'd still say Willow though.

Your name was Rafael

Man, there is a lot of open space here. Can you jump to he cube besides you? And is there anything you can do inside that sphere?

>>510947
Ebenezer Kunk

not a lot to go on here. might as well touch the cube there

>>510960
Seconding.

Man, this place is boring. You're almost literally on an unoccupied plane.

Is there even any ground, or are the sphere and block just floating there?

>Willow
Works for me. Certainly fits her spindly stature.

Willow! That's my name. Thanks.

Yeah, this place is pretty boring. I've already looked over the inside of the sphere, and the cube is the only other thing I can reach.

It's hard and cool - feels like glass, maybe. It seems stable enough, so…

Huh. There was a little wobble or something when I landed, but it feels solid.

Okay... so... now what? Is there anything on the box? Or on the sides you couldn't see before? Can you reach down and touch the ground, or is the box floating in air?

can you push yourself away from the spear on the cube or is the cube stuck where it's at?

The cube is firmly attached to the void… however that works. It's hanging in the middle of nothing at all, but it resists all my attempts to move it.

can you open it then? also I think that second spear egg thing is coming down at you now

The other sphere? No, it seems to be in the same place as before. It looks roughly the same no matter where I look at it from, which probably means it's really far away.

The cube is completely featureless on all sides. If there's a way to open it, I don't see it.

well the only things around you right now is the spear you crawled out of and this cube. unless we missed something in either of the two the only thing we really haven't tried to to yet is just jump off and see what happens. (I don't recommend this) you said the cube wobbled when you landed on it, maybe try jumping on it a little to see if anything happens.

*SPHERE

can you move the sphere though?

>>511081
Try knocking on the cube in all places you can reach.

Can you lift the sphere?

The sphere won't move either. I can lift the lid off, but that's all.

I'd rather not jump into the empty blue void just yet, so let's try this.

BAM

Okay something definitely happened there.

did it get wider?

It got bigger!

Did it push the egg to the side, or did it clip right through it?

For lack of anything better to do, keep hoping. Make that block big.

well lets see what happens when we try doing that a few more times

>>511101
Is the sphere any closer?

The cube is now almost twice as big as the sphere in every direction. It also seems to have shoved the sphere out of the way. Cool, I couldn't do that.

This is fun, though I'm not really sure what good it's doing.

Well for one thing, get it large enough and you'll be able to reach that second orb.

WAIT! before it gets too big get the lid from the sphere so you can have a hat later.

then yeah it will eventually reach the other sphere in the sky.

How's the growth? Is it continuing to double each time?

The use of this is you might eventually get somewhere, like the other orb. And riding the cube up beats jumping into the abyss, and you don't have much else to do.

think Mario, this is one of those blocks with all the coins in it, just keep jumping and something cool will happen eventually, like you might get a 1-up

Make sure there's nothing in that sphere then keep hopping, maybe it can take you up to the other sphere! Or at least get big enough to stretch your legs!

The cube seems to grow more when I hit it harder.

The bigger it gets, though, the less it grows with each jump...

…Until it finally stops growing at all.

slam it with the edge of the lid. like a axe.

at least you have a place to sleep without rolling off the edge. Check to see how close the the other ball is.

Hit the upper limit, then?

How far away is the egg, now? How close are the things that were above you? Are there any new features apparent on the expanded cube? Can you see anything else new from your new vantage point?

ok so do you see anything else now or is more or less the same as before we started our jumping jack routine

Hit the sides of the cube

HIYAH

Okay, hitting it with the lid has no effect. The lid weighs a lot less than I do, so I guess that's not surprising.

File 136867893383.jpg - (70.78KB , 500x500 , C1P24.jpg )

There's nothing new on the cube. Hitting the other faces doesn't seem to do anything. I can't reach the bottom, of course.

The sphere is still down there. The cube was pushing it along until it stopped growing. I could probably jump down into it, but there's no way I could get back up again.

File 136867898241.jpg - (108.27KB , 500x500 , C1P25.jpg )

The other sphere doesn't look much closer than before… Then again, I've only gone up two or three times my own height. I can't see anything else in the blue.

I think the sun's moved a little, though.

lay down in middle of cube, but lid on face to block light and take a nap.

well unless you have any better idea's I say use the spear cover as shade and sleep on this for now, who knows maybe something will happen if you just wait. Either that or try the void jumping thing, but if you do try and go with that plan throw the lid of first to see if it does anything strange. like loop back around and fall from the ceiling or if it would just keep falling forever into the blue void.

What do you have right now? Inventory check!

>>511134
I guess you could try pulling on the sides. Or calling out to see if anyone is nearby.

Check your pockets

Adjust sliders.

Throw the lid as far as you can in some direction, see if it will start hanging at some point or just fall into the void.

Hrrm...Ok, wild thought here, but maybe you're meant to jump onto the Sphere, and make it grow like the Cube did?
Not sure how you'd continue to progress after the Sphere hit the maximum size you can attain though, unless the sphere grew bigger than the cube from that one impact.
If that worked, you could probably just go back and forth between the two, unless you hit a point where neither would grow before reaching that second sphere...

Okay, inventory check. I have a lid;
A sweater and jeans with no pockets;
And this cube, if I can figure out how to do anything with it.

That's three or maybe four things. I'd rather not throw one of them away, but if I can't think of anything else, I guess -

Okay, where in Bugs' name did that come from?

Okay, that appears to have been triggered by tapping the side (or the edge?) or the cube with the lid. Try again, see if that's repeatable! And then run around and see if it works for all four sides, or if they do different things.

>>511758
Knock on each of the four accessible sides. Maybe edges too.

also try a corner

rapidly hit the side with the lid & see how far the blocks go & if they come to a stop/pile then maybe... just maybe... we can pile enough cubes to reach up here plus them hitting each other would increase their size making the job quicker(?)

Hit your own head with the lid. Try again if it doesn't work, no pain no gain

Wait!

Before we start experimenting, and potentially creating a lot of falling cubes... look up. The first one isn't looping back around and falling towards you, is it?

watch the first cube you just made to see what it does, if you lose sight of it look up to make sure it isn't going to crush you by loping around and then start falling above you instead of below, after that then try and see if you can't make more

Aw, it's going away. If it was attached you could extend the cube like a platform!

The other cube seems to just be falling into nowhere forever. I don't think it's coming back. That's good, because I wouldn't really have anywhere to run if it did.

I'm also glad I didn't try jumping.

Hitting the side faces still does nothing. Hitting an edge makes another cube, always on the opposite side.

So does hitting it with my hand.

Woah! Careful, don't fall. Don't lose the lid if you don't have to, but prioritize not falling above that.

Did the corner tap make the block smaller?

hmm... get cube small enough to reach bottom of it. hit bottom edge opposite of sphere, spawn cube on top of sphere, the missing lid makes the sphere flat on top, this grants you a second cube to work with.

did you just change gravity or did the cub get smaller?

>>511806
What happened? Stay on the cube!

>>511804
Gotcha, hitting your head doesn't make a clone or get you bigger. At least you created some headache. Progress is progress!

Welp, unless momentum is looney you're on a trajectory to fall into the abyss. Try to keep ahold of the egg lid. Maybe it can break your fall when you land on something.

Hey, I've got a thought- when you shrink the cube down to hit the bottom side, try hitting the bottom edge away from the sphere.
I'm thinking the sphere itself is an 'anchor' of sorts holding the cube up, and cubes in contact with it won't fall. From there, cubes need to be balanced on each other. So they don't just fall like the first few did.
Now the REAL question, is what's in that second sphere above your head. You were in the first one, after all.

theres one absoloutly scientific test we haven't done on this mystery cube...
you must...
lick it... lick the cube surface

The cube is definitely smaller. Luckily, my reflexes are good enough that I threw myself backward when it started shrinking. Otherwise, I'd probably be joining the other cubes right now.

BAM

Success!

okay now carefully make your cube bigger enough that you can put down the lid. and then see how much the second cube weighs. then place it on the first cube and make the first cube bigger, then slam the second cube on to it.

alright then, grab the second cube and make the first cube a bit bigger then place the second cube on top of it then see if you can't make a duplicate with the second cube. If you can make the first cube even bigger as well as the second cube then place the third cube on top of the second. The plan here is to have the cubes stack on top of each other to reach the other spear in the sky.

>>514113
sphere, it's a sphere.

Use your spear to pierce the heavens!!

>>514111
Alright.
Step 1: Make the cube you're on bigger.
Step 2: Place the newest cube in the middle of the cube you're currently on.
Step 3: Make the cube you're on as big as it can get.
Step 4: Get on top of the newest cube and spawn another cube out of it.
Goto Step 1.

Repeat until you can reach the sphere above you.

>>514120

That's... pretty brilliant actually. The "floor" cube will be big enough that when the source cube spawns the third cube, they'll both have a surface below them in order to not fall. Then you can manipulate both cubes as you like, making one a (higher) floor cube, and using the other to make a fourth cube.

Something random to try- make an extra cube and place it against the sphere-I think it works like an anchor, and let you attach cubes to it, so they won't fall even if they should, like the cube you're on.
