You step carefully into a world that [[barely->description]] registers your arrival, though the sounds of your footsteps [[resound->description]] throughout the hollow space.
You find yourself in a labyrinth of [[glass,->elaboration 1]] tall panels of all shapes stretching up towards the warm sun and twisting around each other to the point of there being no clear exit. Beneath you, the ground is littered with soft [[pillows->elaboration 2]] and cushions in various shades of gold.
The glass [[sparkles->stare]] brilliantly in the midday sun and reflects the deep golds of the pillows. Your eyes struggle to make sense of the odd shapes, the light refracting again and again through every panel.
There are dozens, if not hundreds, of pillows strewn across the floor of this place. They are a deep, vibrant gold, and seem to almost [[glitter->stare]] in the light of the sun.
You can't bring yourself to move. You stand staring at the world shimmering around you. Soon, a [[man->person]] in a pale yellow suit appears, seemingly out of nowhere, though you assume he must have simply entered from another part of the maze.
//“Good afternoon,”// he says warmly. //“How are you feeling today?”//
[["I feel fine"->yes]]
[["I could be better."->no]]
[["What is this place?"->neutral]]
The man smiles pleasantly. //“Ah, very good. Glad to hear it. It truly is a wonderful day. In fact, I am certain you would enjoy spending some [[time->proposal]] here.”//
The man smiles pleasantly. //“Ah, I see. Don’t worry, I have something that might help with that. In fact, I am certain you would enjoy spending some [[time->proposal]] here.”//
The man smiles pleasantly. //“Ah, a curious soul. This is a place where anyone can find peace. Serenity. In fact, I am certain you would enjoy spending some [[time->proposal]] here.”//
//"Here, let me show you."//
[["No, thank you."->bad]]
[["Okay."->good]]
The man’s pleasant expression snaps into an irritable scowl. //“You don’t want [[peace?->exit (bad)]] Serenity? Fine. See what I care.”//
The man nods encouragingly. //“Good, good. Excellent. You will find [[peace->exit (good)]] here. Serenity. I’m sure of it.”//
The man adjusts his suit and spins on his heel.
(live: 4s)[(goto: "you could (good)")]
//“... You do know you could just (link-repeat: "relax")[(goto-url:"https://you-could-become.neocities.org/yellow.html")] a bit, don’t you?”//
//“... Here, you could just (link-repeat: "relax.")[(goto-url:"https://you-could-become.neocities.org/yellow.html")] I promise.”//
The man adjusts his suit and spins on his heel.
