DisRememberment

It is a crisp autumn morning. Dew from the night still clings to your skin. You can feel the dew mixing with the air. It is cold, even in your mother's arms. She draws away from you with a sharp inhale. Her (text-colour:#FFD700)[Golden Eyes] stare blankly in your direction. Your father's (text-colour:#B87333)[Copper Hands] give you a yardstick. The two, in synchonous motion, back away from you. Back into their home. [[The door locks.->Leave Home]]

The forest opens its dark maw to you. [[Enter the Forest->The Forest]] [[Turn Around->You cannot go back]]

The leaves above sift through the sunlight, leaving only scraps for the underbrush. You can hear rustling from the other children leaving home. [[Go Right->Right]] [[Go Straight->Straight]] [[Go Left->Left]]

The door to your home is locked. (if:visits is 2)[Your father closes the curtains. You should go.] [[Turn Around->Leave Home]]

(if:visits <= 1)[There is something Skulking] (if:visits is not 1)[Whatever was Skulking here decided to go somewhere else] [[Approach Skulker->Teeth]] [[Forage for Food->Elderberries]]

The air is Warm [[Forage for Food->Strawberries]] [[Find the Warmth->River of Fire]]

What a lovely forest! You wonder why your parents were so worried. (if:(history: where its name contains "Followed")'s length is 1)[The Skulker agrees.] [[Forage for Food->Blueberries]] [[Go Straight->Straight]] [[Go Right->Right]]

The Skulker turns to you. It Grins [[Hit Skulker with Yardstick->Bonk]] [[Run Away->Followed]]

You hit the Skulker It cries blood. (if:visits is 2)[Its nail-less fingers throb] (if:visits is 3)[Its teeth quiver] [[Leave->Followed]]

You find an elderberry bush. The berries smell like your father. [[Turn Around->Right]]

You find some strawberries They are sweet like your sister [[Turn Around->Straight]]

You find some blueberries They are dark like your mother's hair [[Turn Around->Left]]

The Skulker begins to follow you. [[Go Straight->Straight]] [[Go Left->Left]]

You find a river. It crackles in kaleidoscopic orange and red. It smells like sewage. A lone dragon sits at the banks, basking in the radience of fire. It is using a yardstick as a toothpick. [[Approach Dragon->Dragon]] [[Cross River->Sacrifice]] [[Turn Back->The Forest]] (if:(history: where its name contains "Followed")'s length is 1)[[[Skulker->Gift]]]

The Dragon raises its head. Its face looks like yours. "Little Child. Little Child. So far from home. Where are you going?" [["I don't know"->Don't Know]] [["I know"->Don't Know]]

You wade into the river. The flames lick and boil your flesh. [[Swim->ow]]

"Surely you do not mean to cross this river?" [["I do"->I do]] [["I do not"->I do]]

"Your flesh is too soft to cross the river. You are full of oil and fat. You will surely roast. "I will carry you on my back, for a cost." [[Accept->Accept]] [[Decline->Decline]]

You accept the Dragon's offer. You climb on its back. It saunters into the river. Its scales repell the flames. [["What is the price?"->Price]]

You decline the Dragon's offer [[Go Back->The Forest]] [[Swim across the river->Sacrifice]]

The Dragon's face turns to look at yours. It smiles your smile. "I need something from you." [[Give Eyes->Eyes]] [[Give Teeth->Your Teeth]] [[Give Fingernails->Nails]] (if:(history: where its name contains "yey teeth!")'s length is 1)[[[Give Skulker's Teeth->Skulker teeth]]]

You tear out your fingernails. You offer them to the Dragon. It licks them out of your hands. [[Depart->Thanks]]

You pull out your teeth. You offer them to the Dragon. It licks them out of your hands. [[Depart->Thanks]]

The Dragon sets you safely on the other bank.(if:(history: where its name contains "Followed")'s length is 1)[ The Skulker has followed you across.] The Dragon bows to you. You bow in turn. [[Onward->forward]]

The Skulker holds open its quivering hands. It is holding 31 bloody teeth. It grins. Its mouth is full of free-flowing blood. [[Accept->yey teeth!]] [[Decline->no teeth :(]]

You now have 31 Skulker Teeth [[Turn Around->River of Fire]]

The Skulker bows its head. It begins to push its teeth back into place. [[Turn Around->River of Fire]]

You feel your fingers quiver. You nails melt off. [[Swim->oww]]

Your mouth aches from the heat. Your gums let go of your teeth. [[Swim->owww]]

Your eyes ache and sting. No amount of tears can keep them clear. Your eyes shrivel out of your head. [[Land Ho->the other side]]

You stagger out of the fire. Your body is charcoal. The Dragon calls from the other bank; "Abandon all hope, Skulker." [[Stumble->stumble]]

You trudge forward. (if:(history: where its name contains "Followed")'s length is 1)[The Skulker offers to help you.] (if:(history: where its name contains "Gift")'s length is 1)[Its mouth is full of blood.] (if:(history: where its name contains "Followed")'s length is 1)[[[Accept->bananas]]] (if:(history: where its name contains "yey teeth!")'s length is 1)[[[Equip Teeth->wow]]] [[Ignore the Pain->little lad]]

You continue onward [[Go Right->Right1]] (unless:(history: where its name contains "no thanks bro")'s length is 1)[[[Go Straight->Straight1]]] [[Go Left->Left1]]

You pull the teeth out of your pocket and offer them to the Dragon. The Dragon licks the teeth out of your hands. [[Depart->Thanks]]

There are yardsticks littering the forest floor. [[Pick Up Sticks->more sticks]] [[Leave Sticks->forward]]

Something is eating. It growls in delight. [[Approach->beast]] [[Back Away->forward]]

A Raven calls from the canopy. (if:(history: where its name contains "Gift")'s length is 1)[The Skulker staggers. [[Help->more walking]] [[Do Not Help->death]]] (if:(history: where its name contains "Followed")'s length is 0)[[[Keep Going->a grave]]]

You pick up some of the yardsticks. (if:(history: where its name contains "Followed")'s length is 1)[The Skulker copies you.] (if:(history: where its name contains "Followed")'s length is 1)[[[Play->playtime]]] [[Continue->forward]]

The Cannibal's snuffling stops as you approach. It cranes its neck to see you. Its mouth is full of blood [[Hit Cannibal with Yardstick->bonk2.0]]

The Skulker shudders. It looks pale. It collapses. [[Investigate->it's dead]] [[Leave it->leave]]

You hit the Cannibal with your yardstick. The Cannibal croaks in confusion. It swats away the stick and offers you some Raw Eyeballs. [[Accept->new eyes]] [[Decline->no thanks bro]]

The Cannibal stares at you blankly, and then pops the eyes into its mouth. The eyes crunch and pop like berries. A little goo escapes the Cannibal's mouth. [[Leave it be->forward]]

The Skulker takes the eyes. It rolls them in its hands for a moment, and then pushes them into its empty sockets. The eyes roll around for a moment, and then focus on you. The Skulker grins. Its loosing a lot of blood. [[Continue->Left1]]

You roll the eyes in your fingers. You place the eyes in your sockets. The darkness leaves. You can see again. [[Continue->forward]]

You roll the eyes in your fingers. The Cannibal looks at you expectantly. You put them in your mouth. They squish and pop under your jaw like berries. The taste... They taste. (if:(history: where its name contains "Followed")'s length is 1)[The Skulker gurgles] [[Continue->Left1.0]]

You and the Skulker take turns hitting each other with yardsticks. The Skulker gurgles something. It sounds like words, but you don't understand. [[Continue->forward]]

You take one of the Skulker's arms and drape it over your shoulder. It gurgles and grins. You walk together. [[It is slowing down->sad]]

Its body is cold. Blood pours out of its mouth like honey. [[Bury->funeral]] [[Leave->leave]]

You leave its body behind. You don't have time to worry about it. The Cannibal howls in delight and mauls the Skulker's body. [[Onward->onward]]

You dip your fingers in its blood. It is still warm. You lick your fingers. It tastes hot and metallic. [[Try More->Cannibalism]] [[Bury->next]]

You lift an arm and begin to gnaw. The Cannibal squats next to you. It gives you a sharpened bone. You cut into the Skulker's flesh and eat. [[Cry->cry]]

You step away from the grave. (if:(history: where its name contains "Gift")'s length is 1)[You push an abandoned yardstick into the dirt.] [[Onward->onward]]

The Skulker's legs give out from underneath it. It crumples to the forest floor. It is still grinning. [[Check->it's dead]]

The forest dances circles around you, chittering at your body. You can feel the air grow cooler. You are sticky with sweat. Mosquitos indulge in your bare neck. The light of the sky is fading. The sound of hooves hammering the underbrush send waves of horseflies into the canopy. [[Find the Horse->Horseman]] [[Ignore->Smell]]

A raven calls from the canopy. (if:(history: where its name contains "Gift")'s length is 1)[The Skulker staggers. [[Help->more walking1]] [[Do Not Help->death1]]] [[Keep Going->a grave1]]

You feel tears well up. It is so good. It is so warm. It has been so long since you've had a warm meal. [[Eat your fill->next steps1]]

You accept the Skulker's help. It takes your arm over its shoulder and walks with you. [[Walk->forward1]]

You suck at your empty, charred gums and push yourself to keep walking. (if:(history: where its name contains "Followed")'s length is 1)[The Skulker watches you, arms still outstretched to you] Something is eating. It growls in delight. [[Approach->beast1]]

You hold up a hand, asking the Skulker to wait. You take the teeth the Skulker gave you and place them in your throbbing gums. The Skulker gurgles. [[Accept Help->bananas]] [[Decline Help->little lad]]

The Cannibal's snuffling stops as you approach. It cranes its neck to see you. Its mouth is full of blood [[Hit Cannibal with Yardstick->bonk1]]

A Raven calls from the canopy. (if:(history: where its name contains "Gift")'s length is 1)[The Skulker staggers. [[Help->more walking2]] [[Do Not Help->death2]]] [[Keep Going->a grave2]]

You roll the eyes in your fingers. You place the eyes in your sockets. The darkness leaves. You can see again. [[Continue->forward1]]

Your body is changing. You can feel it. When you look up to the sky, the stars scatter away from your vision, only daring to remain in your periphery. The creatures of the forest grow quiet when you pass, none daring to move. You smell something. Someone is cooking. [[Follow the Smell->hut3]]

You chase after the thundering hooves. Ravens join into the drumming with screaming interdiction. In the distance, you see a rider on a horse. They are dressed in black on a black horse. You see the hooves of the horse begin to slam deeper and deeper into the mud. They never loose momentum. [[Keep Following->Hut]]

You ignore the thundering of hooves and keep walking. Ravens begin to scream at you. They sound afraid [[Keep Going->Hut]]

There is a grave. It is marked with a yardstick. [[Pray->pray]]

(if:(history: where its name contains "Horseman")'s length is 1)[The horseman, half submerged into the earth, bursts into a clearing.] A single hut stands in the center of the clearing, facing away from you (if:(history: where its name contains "Horseman")'s length is 1)[and the rider.] (if:(history: where its name contains "Horseman")'s length is 1)[The rider and horse decend deeper and deeper into the soil.

You throw your yardstick at the the rider. It bounces harmlessly off of the rider's head, just as it dissappears under the soil. The yardstick rattles to the ground. [[...->wait]]

The clearing is silent. The stars in the black sky gather and hide behind rolling clouds. It is quiet. It is very quiet. [[Approach the Hut->Baba Yaga]]

The hut shudders in the night, quietly heaving in the crisp autumn air. (if:visits is 2)[There is a small, crushed child next to the house] [[Find Front of House->haha idiot]] [[Ask Hut to Turn Around->good choice]]

(after:3s)[(enchant:?page,(background:white))] You make your way around the side of the hut. As you pass, the hut suddenly bursts upward, held up by two chicken legs. Before you can react, the hut slams a foot down on your head, slamming your frail body into the soil. (text-style:"fidget")[(align:"=><=")+(box:"X=")[(text-colour:red)[(after:5s)[[[GAME OVER->Home]]]]]]

You clear your throat. [["Little hut, please turn your back to the woods and your front to me."->the hut turns around]]

The hut shudders, and the earth around it crumbles like dry bread. The hut is gently lofted into the air, supported by a pair of chicken legs. It takes dainty, rocking steps and turns around. As the hut decends, you hear a deep, croaking voice from inside the hut: (text-colour:yellow)[(text-style:"bold","fidget")[(cycling-link:"что теперь! что теперь! кто беспокоит меня в этот час?","What now!

You enter the little hut. The hut is cramped and warm. An oven sits in one corner, a tub in another, a chest in another, and a bed in the other. In the center is the head of an elderly woman. Her eyes fly open and she sneers at you. From each corner of the room, limbs and organs tumble toward her, writhing and groaning together into a body.

You step out of the hut. The white gloved hand follows you. As your feet leave the threshold of the hut, a rider bursts forth from the ground. They are dressed in white and ride a white horse. Just as soon as they were there, they are gone, and the clearing is filled with sunlight. As you look around, you realise the hut is gone. You walk through the woods, listening as the birds slowly wake from their slumber. The trees wave sleepily at you, showering you with [[light->End]].

You look around the hut. In the corner there is a chest. [[Open it->hoho!]]

You lay down on the Peel. It is wet. Baba Yaga lifts you up and begins to slide you into the oven. [[Lift on leg to the ceiling and the other to the floor->its a reference1]] [[Accept your fate->wa waaa]]

The gentle light allows you to see the pile of yardsticks by the kitchen window. They are splattered with dried blood. [[Collect Yardsticks->Return to hut2]]

You open the chest. Inside are a pair of (text-colour:#FFD700)[Golden Eyes], a set of 31 (text-colour:#C0C0C0)[Silver Teeth], and ten (text-colour:#B87333)[Copper Fingernails].

You step out of the hut. The white gloved hand follows you. As your feet leave the threshold of the hut, a rider bursts forth from the ground. They are dressed in white and ride a white horse. The rider yanks their horse away from you, kicking dust in your eyes. The horse wails as it tears away from the clearing. The clearing is filled with sunlight. It is too bright. The world is too bright. It makes you sick. [[Turn Around->the hut waits for you]]

As Baba Yaga's shrieking dies down, you start to realize how wonderful the hut smells. It... It's amazing. You begin to scrounge around for silverware. [[Serve yourself->yum3]]

A long time later, or perhaps a short time, and you find yourself back at your home. The door is unlocked. (align:"=><=")+(box:"X")[[[END->Untitled Passage]]]

You reach the edge of the Forest. You can see other children emerging from the woods. Some of their bodies shimmer in the morning sun, others are unscathed. You try to enter the clearing where your home stands, but the branches hold you back. [[keep trying->nooo]]

You push and tear against the branches, but more keep growing. You see your father peek out the window. His eyes pass over you, as if you were just another leaf in the underbrush. [[Give up->so this is life]]

You stop struggling. The branches shove you into the Forest. (after:2s)[[[Go Forward->End1]]]

You wait patiently outside the oven, cross-legged, like your mother taught you. The oven door swings open, revealing a perfectly cooked Baba Yaga. [[Eat->Eat eat eat eat]]

You can barely contain yourself. You yank the cooked carcass out of the oven and tear into it with your spoon. You feel yourself tearing up. It is so (cycling-link:"delicious","revolting"). [[Clean your plate->all done]]

You peer through the branches. You see (cycling-link:"your father","prey") peek out the window. Its eyes pass over you, as if you were just another leaf in the underbrush. You are perfectly camouflaged. [[Lie in Wait->so this is life2]]

You fall back. You have become unto the Forest. (after:2s)[[[Beautiful Predator->End2]]]

The hut is gone. Not that it matters. You are (text-style:"bold","fidget")[[[hungry->beasttt]]].

You crawl into the woods. No birds sound. No wind moves. It is silent. Beautiful, sublime silence. (align:"=><=")+(box:"X")[[[END->Untitled Passage]]]

You are Baba Yaga. And you are terribly hungry. (align:"=><=")+(box:"X")[[[END->Untitled Passage]]]

You fall to your knees as the indecision washes over you. You know you must start, but where? There is so much to do, and you don't know when Baba Yaga will return. As tears fall from your face, you feel a little paw against your knee. [["Brave girl, brave girl. Why are you weeping?"->ayo ]]

There's no time to waste! You roll up your sleeves and begin sorting through the ingredients. [[Begin Sorting->F ]]

You look down and see a trio of mice by your knees. [[Hit them with your Yardstick->bonk2.1]] [[Tell them your woes->help]]

Almost by impulse, you smack the mice with the yardstick. They squeak in terror and scatter. One turns back and shakes a little fist at you. [[Back to Work->F ]]

Baba Yaga's snores cover your footsteps as you move. [[Look Around->house ]]

You open the door to the hut, and see that in the time you were inside of it, the seasons have passed. The hut is sitting in a snowy bank, shivering slightly. [[Go outside->snowy]] [[Grab something warm->grab something warm]]

You sneak around the hut. You find: The oven, full of blackened bones A (text-style:"fidget")[(text-colour:#ff922b)[firey feather]] that shines warm in the dark The hole where the mice live A pile of firewood, comprised largely of yardsticks A chest with a pair of (text-colour:#FFD700)[Golden Eyes], a set of 31 (text-colour:#C0C0C0)[Silver Teeth], and ten (text-colour:#B87333)[Copper Fingernails] [[Take something->take]]

You go out of the hut, into the freezing cold. You might want to [[grab something->grab something warm]] to keep yourself warm.

You poke your head back inside, and spot a (text-style:"fidget")[(text-colour:#ff922b)[firey feather]] that glows warm in the darkness. You pick it up, and it warms your chilly fingers. You go back out into the cold. The (text-colour:#ff922b)[firey feather] warms your face and lights your way as you move away from the hut. [[Back into the woods->oough]]

You scoop the contents of the chest into your pockets. [[Go outside->night]]

The forest shields you from the sharp winds of winter. (after:4s)[You begin to hear faint [[voices->children]]]

You spot a small fire, with small figures surrounding it. They are speaking in a language you recognize. [[Approach->yay camping]]

The firelight illuminates the faces of three dirty children, all of whom are missing their body parts. You sit with them as they stare into the [[fire->talk]].

"I heard neighbor Kravitz was taken by the Beast in the woods." Says the first, with no eyes "I saw neighbor Ilya's head on a pike." Says the second, with no teeth "I smelled the smell of neighbor Sacha burning." Says the third, with no fingernails They look at [[you->speak]].

"Baba Yaga is in these woods." They stare at you. "So that's it." Says the first. "So that's why." Says the second. "So we are doomed." Says the third. [[...->lead]]

"We have to get home. Don't you remember home?" You ask. They stare at you. "I miss my mother." Says the first. You give them the (text-colour:#FFD700)[Golden Eyes]. "I miss my father."

[["Then let's go home."->lead them home]]

The four of you wait until dawn, when the sun shines on your bodies and illuminates the forest. You begin the long walk home. [[Except...->nothing looks familiar]]

Nothing looks familiar. Nothing at all. Days pass, and you continue to assure the children you lead that you know you are right. This is a lie of course. [[What will you do?->choices]]

[[Pray->firebird]] [[Keep Walking->firebird2]]

At night, while the others rest, you go a small distance away, as to not disturb them. You find a suitable place, but notice something in the snow. In a hundred little pieces, there is a bird made of charcoal. [[You scoop it up and take it back to your camp->build a bird]]

You keep your thoughts to yourself, and continue forward with the other children. As the four of you walk, you notice something in the snow. In a hundred little pieces, there is a bird made of charcoal. [[Assemble the bird->build a bird]]

(if:(history: where its name contains "firebird")'s length is 1)["Friends, wake up! I have found something!" You say. The three children grumble awake and inspect the pieces.] Together, the four of you reassemble the bird. Head, then body, then wings, then feet, and the tail. [[Nothing happens->this is why u needed the feather]]

You take the (text-colour:#ff922b)[firey feather] and place it in the tail of the bird. Suddenly, the bird comes alive, breathing in cinder and breathing out ash. It huffs and opens its yellow eyes. "What a wonderful sleep I had!" She says. [["You would have slept much longer had we not found you." You say.->haklsdfhl]]

"Oh!" She says, "Then I am in your debt! My name is (text-colour:#ff922b)[Firebird]. I was slain by the wicked Baba Yaga! How may I help you, brave youths?" [["Will you take us home?"->hell yeah home time]]

(text-colour:#ff922b)[The Firebird] tilts her head curiously. "I would, brave youths. I would as fast as a tale is spun, but you four are on the other side where only death resides. I cannot take you home." Noticing the sorrow on your faces, she quickly adds: "But! I know what I can do. I live far away, in a kingdom made of riches, with many castles. I can bring you there, and you will live in prosperity and peace. I can be your mother. I can be your father." She looks at the third child. They wring their (text-colour:#B87333)[Copper] hands together in anticipation. [["I suppose I can be a dog, too."->win i guess]]

(text-colour:#ff922b)[The Firebird] offers her back for the four of you to climb onto. She flies over strange lands of vast, and increasing beauty. She drops off the child with (text-colour:#B87333)[Copper Fingers] at a castle made of (text-colour:#B87333)[Copper]. She drops off the child with (text-colour:#C0C0C0)[Silver Teeth] at a castle made of (text-color:#C0C0C0)[Silver]. She drops off the child with (text-colour:#FFD700)[Golden Eyes] to a castle made of (text-color:#FFD700)[Gold]. Finally, she comes to the last castle; the most splendid of all. A castle made of (text-color:#87ead0)[Jewels]. [["This is for you, brave youth. Please, live in safety and good health."->new home]]

A pair of guards, covered in (text-color:#87ead0)[shimmering Jewels] lead you to the door. It is unlocked. (align:"=><=")+(box:"X")[[[END->Untitled Passage]]]

You get up and join Baba Yaga by the oven. In front of the oven, there is a single basket filled will a horrible sludge. A single eye floats to the surface and winks at you. (text-style:"bold","fidget")[(text-colour:yellow)[(cycling-link:"Вот все ингредиенты.

[[Weep->mice timerw]] [[Get to work->hard knock liferw]]

You fall to your knees as the disgust washes over you. You know you must start, but the mush presented to you is revolting! There is so much to do, and you don't know when Baba Yaga will return. As tears fall from your face, you feel a little paw against your knee. [["Brave girl, brave girl. Why are you weeping?"->ayorw ]]

There's no time to waste! You roll up your sleeves and begin sifting through the writhing sludge. [[Begin Sorting->Frw]]

You begin digging through the sludge, seperating the fish from the flour. [[You're making pretty good progress.->arw]]

Almost by impulse, you smack the mice with the yardstick. They squeak in terror and scatter. One turns back and shakes a little fist at you. [[Back to Work->Frw]]

You can hear Baba Yaga sweeping closer to the house as you sort the last of the sludge. Your fingers ache from the sorting, but you are confident you have done well. [[Rinse the basket outside->drw]]

You pull out the berries and give them to the mice. They shove the berries into their tiny mouths. They bow to you and skitter up into the basket and use their little hands to pull out the fine grains from the fish. Together, you and the mice sort through the sludge. [[Tidy Up->crw]]

You explain that you have no food for them, but if they help you, you will save some of the sludge for them. [[The mice huddle together and discuss your offer.->brw]]

You and the mice make quick work of sorting, and you even have time to begin cooking. You begin to (cycling-link:"roast","fry","boil","bake") the sludge. As you finish your cooking, you hear Baba Yaga scraping into the clearing. [[Wait for her inside->wait for hercw]] [[Greet her outside->greetcw]]

Just as you fisnish rinsing the basket, Baba Yaga comes scraping into the clearing. She is touting a cloak made from the skins of slain children. She swallows the mortar and pestle up into her vagina. She shoves you aside and creeps into the hut. She listens her way to the seperated sludge, inspecting each pile thoroughly. As she listens, you can feel the anxiety rising in your chest. [[She listens to the flour->11rw]]

You wait inside, monitoring the stove as you cook. Baba Yaga enters the hut and takes off a cloak made of children's skins. She sniffs the air and creeps up behind you as you cook. [[Keep Cooking->ivw]]

You place the spoon across the top of your pan and open the door for Baba Yaga. She creeps into the house, taking off a cloak made of children's skins. [[You close the door behind her->fcw]]

After a brief moment of consideration, they agree to your offer. They bow to you and skitter up into the basket, using their tiny paws to sort through the sludge. Together, you and the mice sort through the sludge, spereating the fish from flour. [[Tidy Up->ecw]]

You and the mice make quick work of sorting, and you even have time to begin cooking. You (cycling-link:"roast","fry","boil","bake") a handful of the sludge for the mice. They gratefully take the warm fish pie, assuring you that they will be back tomorrow to assist you. As they scurry back into the corners of the hut, Baba Yaga scrapes into the clearing. [[Wait for her inside->wait for hercw]] [[Greet her outside->greetcw]]

She cranes her neck around to you, the wrinkles and sagging in her neck twisting into orderly lines decorated with moles and liver spots. She reaches into the fish and pulls out a single flake of flour. [[Lie->lie1cw]] [[Admit Defeat->gooby]]

You hold up your hands, asking for her to wait and hear you out. [["Don't worry, I left that there as a test for your ears!"->ears]]

You furrow your brow. Eat you? Eat //you?// [[Do something->action]] [[Do nothing->inaction]]

You decide to do something. You pull down the seeds and fruit from the ceiling. Looking over everything, you realise she wants you to make Kolyva. You roll up your sleeves and get to work. You cut the poisonous berries into small pieces and hide them inside the seeds. You slip the thorns into each fruit. With each action, you pray Baba Yaga will not notice. That she will eat the Kolyva, and thus, dig her own grave. [[Cook the Kolyva->poison]]

You crumple to your knees. What's the point? All this work for nothing. [[Wait->she is coming]]

You (cycling-link:"roast","fry","boil","bake") everything together, and set the steaming dish onto the table. You cover it with a beautiful cloth and set the table. [[Wait->here she comes]]

Time stretches out into hours. Or maybe days. You've never noticed how strange it feels to be here. You can feel the hut's heart beating softly, and the strange cooing from the floorboards. The mice stare at you from their corner. [[And, the inevitable->baba is hear]]

Baba Yaga lands outside. You hear her rustling by the door. She opens the door, and sees you on the floor, the seeds and fruits, untouched. She scoffs and scuttles up to you.

You remember something your sister said about the tree in the center of town. It is an ancient oak with a single door at the base. Your sister awoke you one night.

You decide to go while you still have light. You enter into your town. The people stare at you, their eyes drilling into your head. As you approach the tree, they seem to gather in larger numbers. [[You see your father->ldghj]]

You decide to wait for the cover of night. A long time, or a short time later, the town drifts off to sleep, and you are able to enter without anyone noticing you. [[Make your way to the tree->skfjh]] [[Remember->jkahgjgh]]

You decide to tell him the truth. "I am here to get Baba Yaga's precious item back." You say. [[The townsfolk murmur angrily.->witch witch]]

You open your mouth to lie, but are cut off by a hand wrenching the pin out of your hands. "Look! they are working with the Witch!" [[The crowd murmurs angrily->witch witch]]

You feel strong hands grab your small body. They hoist you up(if:(history: where its name contains "dksf")'s length is 1)[, causing you to drop your pin].

You step into town and immediately see eyes upon you. The (cycling-link:"townsfolk","prey") scatter away from you, casting rightful (cycling-link:"suspicion","fear","venerance") upon your growling body. [[Keep going->sdfkjh]]

You prowl into town, sending a few prey screaming into their homes. The prey grab their weapons. [[Fight->sf]]

You suddenly feel a sharp pain in your back. You drop your pin in surprise. From your gut, the sharp end of your father's spear sends blood and viscera pouring out of your body. [[You see more coming->sfd]]

From all around, the people spear you. (after:2s)[[[YOU DIED->Home]]]

You begin to wrench their weapons from their hands, but more keep coming. In the struggle, you drop your pin. [[You... You're losing->gw]]

You make a beeline for the Oak Tree at the center of town. You see a guard by the base of the tree. [[Put the pin in his shirt->sleepy time]]

You carefully stick the pin in his shirt. He yawns and sits down. He yawns and lays down. He yawns and falls asleep. [[Search the tree->ad]]

You walk around the base of the tree and find the door your sister mentioned. You open the door and find a [[Box->s]]

You try and place the box in the nest, but it doesn't fit. [[Open it?->open]]

You open the box, and find a hare. It blinks up at you, confused and round in the belly. Its belly writhes and groans. [[... Open it?->ewwwwww]]

You squeeze the hare, causing it to squeak. It writhes and its skin splits, revealing a duck, covered in the dead hare. The duck blinks and looks up at you. It quacks. [[Give it the nest?->kjhs]]

You offer the nest to the duck. It fluffs its feathers and grinds its beak. It sits on the nest. (after:2s)[[[...->egg get!]]]

It lays an egg that fits perfectly in the nest. The duck, upon laying the egg, drops dead. [[... Yay?->back to Baba Yaga]]

You scoop the nest with the egg into your hands and take the pin back from the guard. [[You scamper away from him before he can wake up fully.->back to by]]

A long time or a short time later, you find yourself back at Baba Yaga's hut. She is waiting patiently for you in the hut, with one foot in the left corner, and the other in the right.
