Background: A member of the nomadic gypsy like clan of psychics, the Zakiya, she had just

lost her job in Pura Pura Village, a part of Mostro Island. She was a skilled Mechanic, but

now unemployed. She was getting drunk at a bar, and that's when the blank starts between

then and waking up in the house on Wormwood Island.

Her parents are a Sherbert (Father), and an Orach (Mother).

Since she is from the Zakiya clan, she is considered less than trustworthy, or loyal to most

causes, since she is more likely to get up and leave on a whim. Although some travel in

groups, Asali roamed by herself.

Epsilon Nu Delta

Race: Undead Shadow
Possible Former Life: "Furry" Shark
Trade: Merchant/Psychic Trainer
Crime: Murderer

About: Before he actually appeared, he was hinted at in the poster in Chilitown as a wanted murderer. He was also the spite of Duke Hoppite the Third for killing him.

Epsilon originally appeared in Asali's pre-cognition visions upon entering the forest. When Asali gained access to his home, she ate food left for her and went to sleep. Epsilon came back and it is taken that they slept together for reasons not entirely understood.

He is capable of training Asali's psychic attributes, and he helped us get past the Bandersnatches at the end of the Forest. He hasn't been seen since.

Skraig

Race: Monster Atrocity
Trade: Shopkeeper

About: A carnivorous four armed snake like creature. His general intelligence seems to be low what with his poor spelling and improper speech. He seems interested in buying and selling anything he finds rather than holding any real sense of values. Asali has bought all of his goods. She has given him a Fresh Bone acquired from the Naviabull, and took care of his pest problem. Now he has offered to craft a necklace if we acquire a precious gemstone for him.

Eden

Race: Monster Abnormal
Trade: Bard

About: A mute satyr like creature that was inside of the temple of Rong found in the

mountain, through the mines. He took Asali's stick and bucket, and seems very happy with

them. He upgraded Asali's warp ability, and disappeared after leaving us with a weird

drawing in the sand.

Bucket

A busted up old bucket we bought from Skraig, used to solve a puzzle, and traded with Eden.

Ikit

Race: Furry Complete
Animal: Rat
Trade: HONEST Shopkeeper

A very short, and very loud shopkeeper who is very HONEST, and needs to feed his starving

children. He is hiding something in his basement.

Mint

Race: Bubble Held
Clan: Orach
Trade: Drug Addict

A snappy bubble dragon who doesn't seem to care about anything but doing drugs, drinking

liquor and drowning the horrors around her away. She's warmed up to Asali but she isn't that

interested in company.

Gamma Gobaku

Race: Robot Machina
Trade: Assault Robot

A loud, angry Gobaku who is trying to get to Spare Parts to join the army of the Gobaku in

their genocide against the humans. After being bested in an insult battle he revealed he is

out of ammunition and currently thinks highly of Asali for reasons not fully explained.

File:Later

Unknown

Race: ???
Trade: ???

In the visions since chapter 7 began, we have seen a liquid like feline creature partially in and accordingly attached to the bucket. He was at the bar with Asali which made the viewer assume the worst and run off. He was also near the mountain later kissing Eden.

Plot

This article contains spoilers! You were warned.

Chapter One

Asali wakes up in a room, drunk. She digs around the room and turns on the light. She is

impaled through the chest by a black creature and warps out of the building. She walks to a

broken down looking store and uses her pre-cognition ability and sees a frightening vision

of some monster. She leaves to the mine and finds a skeleton in some rubble. She takes the

Vibro-hammer the skeleton was carrying and goes into the Foreman's Trailer.

Inside of the Trailer she meets Bob, a ghost who used to work there. She goes outside with

the ghost and helps him cross over. Once he crosses over she opens the mine, but it's too

dark. She goes to the store finally and meets the Monster, Skraig. She buys all the items he

has for sale and finally enters the mine.

Chapter Two

Inside of the mine she goes through the first tunnel because she can't fix the power source

without tools. In the turning point, there's a white lizard strapped to a jetpack about to

explode. Asali frees the small lizard creature from the death trap and starts to get away,

but it explodes soon after. She is knocked into the next area.

In the next area, she finds a wrench, fixes the power, and then fixes the pipes on the

gateway. She mines some ore and puts it in the refinery which then breaks. She then enters

the door across from the still locked gate. Inside is water. Asali is deathly afraid of

water. She explores the room and starts to fix the draining system.

She leaves the entrance of the pool back into the mine and is confronted with a Large Large.

She dashes back into the pool and smashes its head with the Vibro-hammer when it tries to

squeeze through. She then finishes the drain, and travels through the Pools of water, to

find a deep chasm. She can't fix the bridge so she goes back into the mine and finds the

last piece of the gateway, entering what was locked away before.

Chapter Three

Inside is a large red temple to the deity, Rong. She hears a strange male voice tell her to

go inside of the temple. She uncovers a red arrow on the ground and then goes inside. Inside

she finds an Abnormal Monster of some sort. He is mute, and she gives him the stick (which

turned out to be an ancient flute), and the bucket. He then offers to improve her warping

power for 10 points, and she pays it. She picks up the first aid kit, and Eden was

gone.

She leaves the temple and goes to the other side of the stairs. She smells something nice

and finds a strange tablet against the wall. She goes back to the other side and finds a

loose tile before leaving. Out in the mines again she replaces her bandages and sees

something strange. She shines her flashlight on the Greatest Spirit, Skel-Monsta, who reigns

over Life and Death.

She tries to run but trips, forced to Warp away at the last second before she is almost

touched. In the pools again she begins running through the path all the way to the bridge.

Her warp was still locked so she fixes the bridge with the chain and everything else she

already had, and runs across. She barely escapes the snake like monster in the chasm and

makes it outside.

Upon going outside, she goes to one of the many areas now available, flipping a turtle to

its feet and entering HONEST IKIT'S QUALITY SHOP. She is greeted by the Complete Furry

Rat.

IKIT offers goggles for Asali's flashlight, and she hesitantly accepts the trade. She buys a

Rainbow Buster firework, and finds out that the town was killed by a Black Plague. She

leaves and goes to the town. The town of Chilitown's sign is damaged and covered in blood.

Chapter Four

Asali enters Chilitown. Four out of six buildings are wrecked. She checks the newspaper and

sees that a reporter named Fang Tian and some of the citizens were dealing with the Black

Plague. She checks the police station first. There is blood everywhere. She finds a locked

dressar drawer in one of the rooms. She checks out the place and instead of figuring out the

combination to the locker, she smashes and unhinges it. She gets some blood wine.

Asali enters the hut in between the in tact buildings. Inside is Mint, a drugged up Bubble

Held from the Orach clan. She has a hookah going and offers Asali some drugs. She doesn't

want Asali around but offers drugs for liquor or Points. Asali buy some drugs, and trades

the mushroom for a Rainbow Leaf, and gets some points back for the Blood Wine.

Asali heads to the bank and tries to talk to a cardboard cutout she thought was a clerk for

a moment. She uses the code on the back to open the safe for a good chunk of money. She goes

to the wrecked site of all the buildings and almost dies twice to get a picture from a

box.

When she leaves the wrecked buildings the street is filled with Bombignants and a ghost. She

gets her hammer out just in case when a black creature kills all but one Bombignant. Asali

assaults the humanoid shadow monster and smashes it to the ground.

She talks to the Bombignant and it dances for her. She asks the ghost about it, and finds

out his name is Paul. (No, not Paul, it's Paul)! Paul, not Paul, requests help to write a

letter to Mint. Asali agrees so Paul possesses her and writes the letter. Asali delivers it

to Mint. Mint seems happy to hear from him, but jokes around the fact he is dead.

Asali then goes to HONEST IKIT'S and Trades her Bubble Dust and Rainbow Leaf for a Magic Jar

and Necromancy Book. Asali then heads to the Gardens and gets pummeled almost to death by

the Naviabull in the intersection. She then meets Queen Atasusa of the Fire Flowers in her

cave. She is dying and her people are all gone by the black plague. She requests Asali's

aid. Asali cannot figure out what to do so she takes the pine cone from the hollow tree

trunk and leaves.

She races across the intersection towards the other side of the gardens and is stopped by a

Flower Bouncer. Luckily Asali has the ticket from Dimitri and only needs to make one Mr. T

reference. She then dances at the party and notices a cane hooked up near the ceiling of the

flowers' cavern. She warps up, grabs it, and falls down to the floor without grace.

Chapter Five

Asali leaves the party and goes to the mountain. There is a gate missing wires and a fuse.

She picks up the porn magazine on the ground. She check the flies at the garden entrance and

leaves. She enters the graveyard, or attempts to. Asali is drawn into an insult battle with

Gamma. With some difficulty she defeats him and gains access to the Grave Site.

She Gives him the picture and fixes his washing machine. The Washing Machine is apparently a

female to Gamma, and is his only companion beyond yourself to a more recent extent. You are

informed the area has been looted by Gamma, and that he can't fit down into the

Mausoleum.

She then enters the Mausoleum and uses Pre-cognition. There are dials on the wall, a jar on

a shrine slab, and a statue. Asali takes the circlet off the statue, moves the statue, picks

up wires, and reads the Tablet. She then puts stuff into the jar to no avail. Eventually she

solves the dial puzzle. She gets the medallion from its hidden compartment.

Even with all of the items she thinks she can't seem to summon Duke Hoppite the III. She

tries saying his name a bit. Then she fiddles with the dials more. She removes the items

from the jar, including a vial of blood she finds inside of it trying to get the rest of her

stuff.

After some experimentation she pours the blood over the other items. The duke is summoned.

He turns out to be an arrogant prick. Apparently the murderer mentioned in Nisha's office

killed him. He asks for his whereabouts, and seems interested in revenge against the Shadow,

explaining how dangerous he is.

Hoppite awards Asali the key to the treasure room. The room has a trapped treasure chest.

With some help from her pre-cognition she manages to solve the death trap and leave with

another chunk of money.

Asali goes to the forest. The forest is closed in on itself due to the biggest tree at the

entrance being so angry. Angry Tree seems discontent with his pain and lack of brains. She

convinces him that a decorated pinecone are tree brains. He seems pleased by Asali's offer,

and is still angry and in pain WITH BRAINS. She wishes him an enraging day and goes deeper

into the forest.

In the forest path Asali smells the fragrance from the tablets. She finds it by tripping

over it. She goes towards the exit of the path and uses pre-cognition due to the noises

Asali hears. Her vision suggests, "To the left." Asali is shot.

File:Chapter6.png

Chapter Six

Asali was shot in the right arm because of the move to the left and is virtually unharmed. She can't figure out where the stealthy sniper is, so she teleports out right before being shot at again. In the new area she has some puzzles to solve, and proceeds to go left. She goes left a lot. In fact, she goes in a circle.

She solves a couple other puzzles, with some help from another vision from the strange black figure. She sticks her arm in the fire and it eventually hurts very badly. That was probably a bad idea. Asali finally gets a key to exit the circle.

She enters a strange sort of home. Inside is a feast waiting for her. She eats the food and goes to sleep in the bed. When the game returns to the audience, she is in bed after sleeping with a fellow who says his name is, "Nu." He also trains her psychic abilities up. After they are done with all that, he gives her a cloak, and takes the Rainbow Buster.

They go to the exit of the forest where a ton of Bandersnatches are sleeping. Bandersnatches are a very dangerous creature in the world, and he lights the firework and directs Asali to a tunnel out of the Forest. This is where she finds her frog, Mission. She solves a (broken) puzzle and leaves.

The strange landmark has nothing for her to do, and the Ice Cavern is blocked by a giant block of ice. Asali and Mission go back towards the forest.
