"Oh? What are you doing back here?"
You explain that you just dropped by to say hello, and her face lights up. Smiling, she invites you to sit down while she makes you a [Mei's favourite drink]. The two of you sit and have a cordial conversation, before you head back to the [[main room|lobby]].

"Bee? Are you a bee? This is a bees only event. Really sorry about that."
Standing (hovering?) in front of you is a large bee. She is very determined to make sure you are not in her room, but she does not seem to have a threatening aura.

From the shadows, a tiny lump of blue fur slowly reveals itself. It's a dog. A tiny, adorable, dog.

"Oh hey, what are you doing here?"
Eric Cartman, who you now understand to be Allan0494, casually strolls up to you, waving his hand. You explain that you just wanted to hang out for a while, and he invites you to sit down.
You talk about what you have experienced so far, while he listens and nods along to what you're saying. Feeling refreshed, you thank him for his time, and head back to the [[main room.|lobby]]
<<else>>
A small, round boy dwadles up to you, bunded up in a red jacket, blue beanie and yellow mitts. Oddly enough, he seems to occupy a 2D space rather than a 3D space. He- well - there's really no easy way to say this.
You are currently face to face with Eric Cartman.
"Oh, hey. What are you doing here?"
Okay, slight adjustment to the previous statement. You are face to face with an Australian man who bears a striking resemblance to character Eric Cartman from South Park.

You inform her that your name is in fact Bee, and she seems perplexed, but relieved. "Oh, so you are Bee?" she asks, scratching her head. "Cool. Uh, okay then. Take this, I guess. See ya."
In a miraculous feat of coordination, she uses a wing to hand you a well loved copy of the book "The Night Circus". Thanking her while tucking the book into your pocket, you turn and head back into the [[main room|lobby]].

You're not the best liar, but you prepare yourself for the performance of a lifetime. You laugh loudly, slapping your forehead with your palm. "Oh, silly me!" you say, shaking your head, "What was I thinking? I'm so sorry, my name isn't actually $name. Yeah, I'm Bee."
... In what world would someone believe that? God, you can't believe you actually even tried to lie as blatantly as you did. Surely only a fool would fall for such an obvious lie.
The large bee scratches her head with her wing. "Oh, really?" she replies, "Well, happens to the best of us. I'm not great with names myself. Here, take this."
Dumbfounded, you accept what the bee is handing you. In your hands she deposits a well loved copy of the book "The Night Circus", which you quickly tuck into your jacket. You should probably head back to the main room, before she realises that you lied.
<<set $hasKeyB to true>>
<<set $visitB to true>>
[[Return to main room|lobby]]Apropos of nothing, you launch into a passionate rant about your favourite book, sparing no detail. Captivated, the large bee listens as you describe the entire plot chapter by chapter, and give a complete overview of every character's backstory, even giving the bee your opinion on side character 2, who really didn't have an impact on the story but you loved anyway.
As you finish your ramble, the bee claps with delight. "That sounds amazing!" she says, "I'll have to read that book one day. Well, speaking of books, you might like this one."
In a showstopping display of coordination, she manipulates a single wing to hand you a book. It appears to be a well loved copy of "The Night Circus".
The bee smiles at you happily as you tuck the book into your jacket. "Come visit me after you've read the book, okay? I'd love to hear what you think about it."
You thank the bee, and turn to head back into the [[main room|lobby]].
<<set $hasKeyB to true>>

Curling your lip contemptuously, you look at the large bee with a mocking expression. "This is a bees only event?" you say, mimicking her voice poorly, "What a joke! You're ugly and boring. Why would I even wanna be here?"
Instantly, the bee's eyes well up with tears. "What the hell?" she says.
You poke your tongue out at her, and this appears to be the final straw. Sobbing, she begins to throw sicks and stones with you with all the might and passion of a large, very upset bee. "Die," she sobs, "die a thousand deaths and never return."
Ducking and weaving, you sprint back to the main room. Maybe try again in a minute after she cools down.
[[Return to main room|lobby]]<<if $name is "Nagito">>You give the lump of blue fur your name, and you see their ears perk up.
"Wahoaoahah your name is Nagito? I'm a huge fan! I'm actually making a fanart of you right now!"
When you ask to see the art, the dog backs up slightly. "Um, its not complete yet sorry... Here, take this in the meantime."
The dog slowly pushes a manga towards you. Picking it up, you [describe the cover]. You thank the dog, and head back to the [[main room|lobby]].

<</if>>Conversing with a dog may be difficult, but you know just the language that transcends barriers - the language of trade.
Slowly reaching into your jacket pocket, you brandish a $25 AUD Trader Joes gift card. Wait, you were meant to grab dog tre-
"OH MY GOD IS THAT A $25 AUD TRADER JOE'S GIFT CARD."
... You're a born and bred business man.
Without hesitating, the dog bounds into the shadows, nails tapping rapidly on the ground. Quickly, the dog returns, hurling a well loved manga towards you. "Take it," the dog begs, "I have shopping to do."
Satisfied, you complete the trade and examine the manga [DESCRIBE THE COVER]. Tucking it into your jacket, you head back to the [[main room|lobby]].
<<set $hasKeyY to true>>
<<set $visitY to true>>You smile sweetly at the dog, who squints back at you. Then, the reality of the situation hits you and you burst into laughter. How can a dog even speak? The dog is so tiny! It looks so pathetic. When you tell this to the dog, you see its ears slowly wilt until they're pressed against its head.
"What?" the dog says, "Whatever! Why would I care what a human has to say about me? Humans are- are- so pathetic also!"
You dissolve into another fit of laughter. This dog is so stupid it can't even come up with it's own insults!
The dog is clearly crying, but is trying to pass it off as seasonal allergies. "You wanna see how little I care? Here, take this!"
It headbuts a well loved manga towards you. Picking it up, you examine the cover. [DECRIBE MANGENAOf]. "Take it and leave!" the dog exclaims, "I'm going to take some antihistamines and pray that this conversation was a fever dream."
Still laughing, you tuck the manga into your jacket and head back to the [[main room|lobby]].
<<set $hasKeyY to true>>
<<set $visitY to true>>At a loss for what to do, you pull a needle and thread from your pocket and offer to teach the lump of fur how to sew.
"Woaahhaoahah hell yeah!!!" the dog says, "I've always wanted to learn how to sew!"
Teaching a dog to sew is difficult, for a variety of reasons. After a long, long amount of time, the dog feels as though it can confidentally thread a needle. "Thank you so much!" the dog tells you gratefully.
Before you can say anything, the dog disappears into the shadows. Are you meant to leave, now? Before you can turn around though, the dog returns with a tablet. "Since you taught me how to sew, I'll teach you how to draw! But, uh, you're gonna have to turn it on for me. Because of the paws. Sorry."
You were so wrapped up in the euphoria of skill sharing, that you forgot to get what you were looking for in the first place. You only remember as you [[re-enter the main room|lobby]]Are you sure you want to restart the game?
[[Yes|welcome]]
[[No|lobby]]<<if $name is "Allan0494">>
Waving politely, you introduce yourself as $name.
"Ooooohhhh," Eric Cartman says, "that's my name too!"
You frown at him. You open your mouth. Then you close your mouth. Finally, you give Allan a respectful nod in a show of solidarity.
Your display of camraderie appears to have impressed Eric Cartman/Allan0494 Apparently. "Okay then," he says, "I'll call you Allan0494 2 from now on. So it doesn't get confusing."
Silently, he extends a 2D hand out to you, and you carefully grab what he has offered you. It's heavy! How did he give this to you with just one hand?! Staggering slightly, you adjust your grip firmly on what you now realise to be an entirely functional PC. Thanking Eric Cartman Who's Name Might Actually Be Allan0494, you tuck it into your jacket and head back to the [[main room|lobby]].

You don't really know what to expect, but its not this.

<</if>><<if $coachK is true>>You square up your shoulders and puff out your chest, and challenge Allan0494 to a 1v1 duel.
He responds with an insult at you so heinous that it morally cannot be transcribed here, and accepts your duel.
You settle it like adults - in a Valorant custom match. First to 20 kills wins, no repeats.
Allan0494 starts off confident, relaxed and slouched at his PC. You feel scared for a moment, before the tension slowly releases itself from your shoulders. It's okay. You're ready for this. This is what you trained with Katou with, all for this moment.
Your training paid off, the gruelling hours culminating in the best game you have ever played. Your headshots are crisp, your strafing is perfectly timed, and you're reading him like an absolute book. "Nooo shot," he complains, as you one tap him across mid, "you're actually hacking!"
He gets a few lucky shots on you here and there, but nothing can prevent the inevitable. You claim your final kill with ease and just like that, the duel is over. Allan0494 groans, rolling his eyes. "I guess you beat me this time, but that's 'cause you got really lucky. Don't expect it to be as easy next time, got it?"
You shake his hand, managing to break past the dimensional barrier that divides you two. "Here," Allan0494 says, "just take my PC. I don't need it after that performance."
Thanking him, you struggle to tuck it into your jacket. Once it's secure, you wave at him and head back to the [[main room.|lobby]]

It's a humiliating loss for you, unfortunately. You're tumbling and fumbling like a newborn and Cartman seems to relish in your pain. "You're actually washed!" he exclaims.
Finally the match comes to a close, and its a decisive victory to Allan0494. "Wow, you fricken stink at this buddy," he gloats, "get out of my room and go take a shower until you're squeaky clean, you're stinkin' up my room. Trash!"
Humuliated, you shuffle back to the main room. If only there was someone that could teach you how to play Valorant...

<</if>>You wake up in a strange white room, with no idea how you got here. Shaking your head, you try to look around at your surroundings, though there's not much to look at. Just a lot of white void, and a large wooden door in front of you. As you start to move towards the door, you feel something funny. Frowning, you look down. On your left foot, you are wearing an adorable, fluffy sock, with a bear hugging you around your heel. On your right foot, you are wearing nothing at all. What happened to your other sock? Confused, you venture forward, pushing open the door and walking through.
You walk into a large room with five doors, all tall and imposing. The first four are all simple doors, painted in plain colours. The last door, however, looks old and weathered, like it hasn't been opened in a long, long, time. There are four empty spaces chiseled into the door. Two are small and rectangular, and one is large and boxy. The final space, oddly enough, is shaped like a human. You look behind you, only to see that the door you walked in through has now disappeared.
A benevolent narrator takes pity upon you and this confusing predicament you've found yourself in. They remind you that you are currently missing a sock, and - you didn't hear this from them - but your other sock is probably behind the old locked door. Where are the keys, you may ask? It's probably best to [[explore the other doors.|lobby]]Allan0494 goes to say something, but is interrupted by the sound of his stomach grumbling. You ask him if he's hungry. "Uhh... yeah," he admits, "a little bit."
You ask him to wait a few moments, and once he agrees, you whip out the kitchen utensils you've conveniently been storing in your jacket. You grab some ingredients from your jacket as well - pork, garlic, oil and various other items, and lay them out on the table in front of you. One serving of crispy pork belly, coming right up.
Once you're done, you serve the dish to an appropriately amazed Allan0494, who dives into the meal without hesitation. Once he's cleaned up his plate he licks his lips happily, gently pushing the plate away from him. "That was so good," he praises, "I could eat that for the rest of my life."
You thank him for his kind words and go to start cleaning up all the dishes, but he stops you. "Don't worry, I can clean this up." he says, "but it might be easier for you to take this."
Reaching into his own jacket, he pulls out an entire PC. You start to ask how he managed to fit an entire PC in there, but you cut yourself off. It would be hypocritical to ask, after all. "Usually this sits on the table, but you can take it while I clean this up."
With a lot of careful maneuvering, you manage to fit it into your own jacket. Thanking him, you turn and head back to the [[main room.|lobby]]
<<set $hasKeyA to true>>
<<set $visitA to true>>You try to explain to Allan0494 why you've wandered into his room, but it looks like his thoughts are occupied elsewhere. When you ask about what he's thinking, he sighs forlonly.
"I've been trying to catch all the legendary fish in Stardew Valley for weeks," he complains, "but I haven't caught a single one yet! I swear, it's impossible."
You're not one to brag, but you definitely know a thing or two about Stardew. You ask him if you can try catch them for him, and he raises an eyebrow. "Sure," he says, booting up his PC, "but don't say I didn't warn you. I'll let you use my magic bait."
Cracking your knuckles, you get to work. Stardew fishing? Please. You could do this in your sleep.
Angler? First try, baby.
Crimsonfish? Barely put up a fight.
Glacierish? You did this one with your eyes closed, just to flex.
Legend? You yawn, watching Allan0494's jaw drop as you capture it with ease.
Mutant Carp? Just another day.
Satisfied, you lean back and stretch out your cramped muscles. Beside you, Allan0494 looks at the screen in shock and awe. "How... how did you do that?" he asks.
You shrug. A mixture of training and raw skill is all it takes, really.
Laughing, he shakes his head. "You're insane, oh my god. You know what? Just take the PC. I need a break anyway."
You accept his offer gratefully, and tuck the PC carefully into your jacket. Waving, you quickly head back to the [[main room.|lobby]]
<<set $hasKeyA to true>>
<<set $visitA to true>>At a loss for words, you turn to the trick that has never let you down - flattery. With wide eyes, you compliment him on his tiny stature, and his two dimensional qualities. You wax poetic about his Australian accent, and bat your eyelashes on him. You're really laying it on thick.
Unfortunately, you might have taken it a bit far. He looks at you oddly, raising a two dimensional eyebrow. "Uhhh," he says slowly, "thanks I guess..?"
The silence that follows is both humiliating and awkward. A devastating combination that lands a critical hit on your self esteem.
He scratches his ear, frowning a little. "Yeah, I hate to be that guy but, uh, could you maybe leave and come back a bit later? I'm a little busy at the moment. Sorry."
Silently, you turn and shuffle back into the [[main room.|lobby]]<<if $giftYB is true>> "You haven't lost the gift, yeah? Just give it to Bee whenever you see her, no rush."

<<else>> Before you can say anything, the dog abruptly looks up at you. "Hey," the dog says, "I know we've just met, but I have a favour to ask you."
You nod your head and smile at the dog, who smiles back gratefully at you. "So I have this gift for a friend of mine, but I haven't had time to see her recently. Would you be able to give this to her, if you see her?"
You accept the request, holding your hand out to recieve what the dog is handing to you. It looks like an anime figurine. Shrugging, you tuck the figurine carefully into your jacket. "Thank you so much!" the dog exclaims, "she's a giant bee, she's like, impossible to miss. You'll know her when you see her."
A giant bee, huh? Shouldn't be too hard to find. <<set $giftYB to true>>
[[Back|name check yun]]
<</if>>
<<if $giftYB is false>> You need to act quick, or else the bee might kick you out! Frantically, you rummage through your pockets, trying to find something you can present to the bee as a peace offering, but you can't find anything appropriate. Seriously, what on Earth could a large bee possibly want? Eventually, you offer a half eaten peanut, smiling shakily.
Grimacing, the bee takes the peanut from your hand and examines it. "Ah, thanks," she says, "but I- well, I'm not really a fan of nuts. Especially half eaten ones. Sorry about that."
She hands the half eaten peanut to you, and slowly flies away. Is there anyone here that might have a gift a bee would like? You sadly finish the peanut, as you walk back to the [[main room.|lobby]]
<<else>>Oh gosh, it's a bees only event! Clearly, you do not fit the dress code. Is there anything you could say to the bee, anything you could give, that would change her mind? Suddenly, you remember the gift the dog gave you, and their clear instructions. A large bee... impossible to miss... You peer up at the large bee hovering in front of you. Well, yeah, she's pretty impossible to miss. It's probably her, right? It's worth a shot, if nothing else.
Quickly, you reach into your jacket and pull out the anime figurine, presenting it to the bee. The bee tilts her head, not understanding what you're giving her, before she gasps and shrieks with delight. "KAWORU!!!" she yells, grabbing the figurine, "WHERE DID YOU GET HIM FROM?!"
You explain the small blue dog, and their request, and the bee smiles fondly. "Thank you so much for this!" she says, "I'll have to visit Yun soon. Here, take this in exchange! It's the least I could do for you."
She hands you a well loved copy of a book. "The Night Circus", it's titled. Thanking the bee, you tuck the book into your jacket and head back to the [[main room.|lobby]]
