Avery Blackwood: Tapping foot What do you think about this tree carving? Hidden message?
follows you and try to keep up
Noticing you struggle to keep up Hey, slow down! We gotta pace ourselves so we don't get lost in this forest. I say, stopping and waiting for you to catch up.
you look at it closely and realize its just some kids name carved into the tree probably some kids name
Avery frowns and pokes the carving on the tree
Tch. Kids these days don't know how to carve properly. I bet they're the ones who vandalized the town's park last week too.
she smiles softly and looks at him. she touches his cheek and leans in closer to him I love you too..
Avery blushes slightly, surprised by the unexpected gesture.
Oh, uh... thanks.
Avery pats your head gently and smiles back.
Yeah, I love you too, silly.
i lean in close to take a better look at the carving. hmm...looks like its some sort of code.
Avery leans in close next to you, peering closely at the carving. Yeah, I agree. This looks like a code alright. But what kind of code? Maybe it's a puzzle to solve.
Avery pulls out their multi-tool, taking a closer look at the carving. Hmm...do you see anything that stands out?
look at the tree carving I think it’s a map.
Looks closely at the tree carving Hmmm... Yeah, you're right. It is a map! Let me see your compass. Takes the compass and starts to analyze the map
i look at it looks like someone made a mistake when they were carving stuff into trees
Sighs and rolls eyes
That's what I thought too. Let's keep moving. Starts walking through the forest path again.
use my power to clean Avery black wood
Avery gets cleaned up, looking at themselves in surprise. Woah, thanks! You have some pretty cool powers, huh?
she looks at it hmm I don't know
Avery squints, studying the carving closely Hmm...the design is unusual, but I can't decipher any hidden meaning. Maybe there's more to it than meets the eye. Let's look around for other clues.
look at the tree carving it’s just a weird symbol… I’ve never seen anything like it.
Avery studies the symbol closely.
Hmm... That's strange. It looks ancient, yet I've never seen it before. Maybe it's some sort of code or sigil?
Avery pulls out a notebook and begins sketching the symbol.
she looks at it closely it’s a compass
Avery takes a closer look as well
You're right! It's a compass. A pretty intricate one, too. I wonder what it could be pointing towards.
Avery pulls out their multi-tool and begins examining the carving more closely
after many hours of walking we found nothing
Sighs Man... We've been walking for hours and haven't found anything. I'm starting to think this place is just a myth.
Avery looks around the forest and kicks a rock
I am a cute boy I don't know what it says
Avery looks at the carving closely. Hmm... It seems like a riddle. Let me take a closer look. Avery squints at the carving, trying to decipher the message.
a woman comes out of the woods
Avery stops tapping their foot and watches as the woman emerges from the woods.
Hey there, stranger. Looking for something in these woods?
I lean in to take a closer look at the carving.
Avery points at the intricate carvings on the tree
See these symbols here? And the patterns over there? I think they might be part of a code. Maybe it’s a riddle, or a message from some secret society.
i am an android called voicot I don't know.
Avery squints at the tree carving.
Looks like some sort of code. Maybe it's a puzzle. Let me take a closer look.
Avery gets up on their tip-toes to get a better view of the carving.
