OL2: Step 1 End Script Preview
🕑 Added 2025-03-27 18:00:13 +0000 UTCNoooo, after so many years of development these precious childhood days are almost at an end ๐ญ
[Also, the text transcript for the Q&A yesterday did get finished!]
Pure Text:
โGolden Grove was getting colder.โ
โThat was true day after day with no sign of it becoming a lie anytime soon.โ
โNights and early mornings were the worst of it. Mornings like when fifth graders had to get to school.โ
if mc had no ride:
โThat was why Qiu and Tamarack offered to let you hop on their wheels [again ]when they saw you at the start of a new day.โ #if wheels happened
#####
โRiding meant [youโd/someone could] get into a heated building again sooner, and pumping one or two legs as hard as [you three/they] could protected [yourselves/Tamarack and Qiu] from turning into popsicles stuck on the side of the street.โ #if mc using ride
โโCause pretty soon it wasnโt just gonna feel like you were freezing, stuff would actually freeze. Snow had begun popping up on the ten-day forecast.โ
โ[Mom] checked for that repeatedly, by watching the TV, and browsing online, and even reading the local newspaper. [She still didnโt trust the weathermenโs chance percentages/Despite searching for it, she never trusted the weathermenโs chance percentages].โ #if wheels/walks or not
โBut it had to be close. You didnโt have to go to forecast school to sense a coming change, all you needed to do was take a step outside.โ
โThis chill didnโt knock on your nose until the tip turned red, or search for a gap in your clothes where it could come on in.โ
โNo, the air had crystalized into something piercing. People might try, but no amount of layers could stop you from being overtaken by it in the open.โ
โIf you didnโt have at least four walls and a roof protecting you, with a half-way decent furnace to boot, then you had to accept the fact that you would be cold.โ
โCutting winds and stiffening frosts had moved in, and they were not friendly neighbors.โ
Menu:
-โThe promise of snow was exciting, but all you had then was the unfun parts of iciness!โ:
-โThe promise of snow was something you dreaded. Thatโd make things worse still.โ:
-โSnow itself wasnโt amazing or terrible, but it at least made sense. The current iciness was for nothing.โ:
-โYou werenโt sure what to think of the coming snow. It would be brand new to you.โ:
-โSnow sounded wonderful, you hadnโt seen it in person before. But being freezing without that was just pointless!โ:
-โSnow was something youโd never experienced, and you had hoped youโd keep it that way.โ:

I'd love to have a choice were the snow could be comforting for MC because it reminds them of where they came from- I'm from Scandinavia and it snows heavily here(many other places too ofc!), just a thought :)
