And you know what? I better NOT die the same way again. I demand variation in my deaths! Originality!

Anyway, I'm gonna go explore (44) Jade Acres Park.

Oh, and if you think this drawing is ugly? Give me a break I was just reincarnated!
Taking just a moment to get accustomed to the Heracross form you once had many years ago, you head out with the morning sun, intent on seeing if there’s anything unusual going on with Jade Acres Park. It’s a bit of a hike from Benni’s farm, but you make the trip nonetheless and arrive after about an hour of walking.

From what you can see initially, the years haven’t been too kind to this park. It’s surrounded by a ring of trees that have shriveled up and died out into husks. Meanwhile the further out you go, the more decay you see until there’s virtually nothing left. You’re not even sure why, but nonetheless, you head closer to the small forest and keep a watchful eye out for anything that looks unusual.

Before you even reach the heart of the forest, you come across a small stone table that at first you mistake for a park bench, even though it seems like it is randomly placed here among several dead trees. The odd thing is there’s a square-shaped hole in the center, which you’re not sure what it’s there for. You lean in to take a closer look and…

…you mistakenly make contact with the bench.

…it makes you twitch. Just a bit. Like a little jig before it suddenly feels like it becomes a full-blown seizure and you suddenly find yourself lying on your back on the ground, spasming.

You make up what feels like hours later, jaw hanging open and you snap to attention, almost gagging in the process. Part of you wonders if you died again and this is just you waking up to enjoy a fresh new nightmare, but no… instead you see this one hasn’t ended yet. And you get up, looking at what caused this in the first place…

@{The Altar of Vacancy: Cube-Shaped Hole} Void Rapture GHOST – (5 Sanity Damage)@ has been noted in the Team Records.

You really feel like you didn’t deserve that. Still, once you get back on your blue spiked feet, you look back at the altar, making sure not to touch this awful thing. You observe the cube-shaped hole, realizing there’s something that’s supposed to go there. What, pray tell, you can only imagine, but for now, you need to move on.

You head more toward the center of the park, where the last few living trees go from surviving to thriving. But what you find in the center of it all almost seems to be a complete anomaly. There’s a small tear in the fabric of space and reality here, forming a kind of portal in the ground. It almost seems like it leads to an entirely new world. You take a closer look, but then it’s like the portal senses you… and wants to connect with you. You back away, but instead it connects with you…

Scy has gained 3 Kurosuōbā.

You suddenly feel like a part of you was suddenly interwoven into a completely alternate dimension. You feel strange, but all of a sudden, it’s like you know this portal’s purpose. It’s like… it’s simply waiting to receive something.

@{Dorimugeto: Sunadokei Taburetto} – ~3 Kurosuōbā~@ has been noted in the Team Records.

For just a brief second, you seem to understand. A sudden vision of an hourglass comes to mind, but for what, exactly? What does it all mean? It all just seems like shadows shortly after, like they’re hiding a riddle that you used to know.

You decide to turn around and leave, feeling like all you’ve found here were new mysteries… and not the answers you were hoping for. Maybe it will all mean something in time, but for now, you find yourself unable to go further, leaving you heading back to Benni’s farmstead to try and gather your thoughts. What could it all mean?

Once you arrive back at Benni’s you decide to rest it off a bit and wait until sundown. Thankfully, the taste of her Pecha Berry muffins is delicious and it makes you feel at ease again…
