PRIDE & JOY

a beautiful centrepiece lies before you.
an ornate vase rests on a pure white pedestal.
a picture frame is hung on the wall.
there is a patch of vines somewhere to your right.

a pedestal.
rather, an old pillar that gaia seemed to be using as a pedestal.

(ok)

a porcelain vase.
it kind of looks.. what’s the word? immaculate..?
there’s a quality about this vase you can’t describe just yet.

(ok)

a picture frame.
didn’t that used to have an eye in it?
oh. right. that was gaia.

(ok)

why did you click this specific wall?
seems pretty impractical from a storytelling perspective.

(ok)

some vines.
they seem to be deliberately lodged into place.
you have a pair of gardening shears with you, though.

the padlock requires you to input a 4 digit code.

[] [] [] []



click! the lock pops open

ah darn, wrong code!
you were just testing the lock, anyways.

did you even try?
try clicking the brackets and using your keyboard.



(ok)

a padlock behind the vines.
you reach out to see if you can input a code.
