#baronyofthesilverwolf

A knock on the door of Willy's workshop.

A shrug, and she wanders off elsewhere

There is the tool shed nearby. Wudlig set it up sometime ago

It doesn't look that fancy, perhaps the baron insisted wood be used in it's crafting

A Never who has an orange-ish tone to their sparkle hovers around the door. Actually, the door is cracked open. Chime?

Zip, it goes inside.

Chiiiiime. Tinny voice echoing from within. CHIME?

The soft pattering sound of rain - or small items hitting a floor in a muted rattling pattern.

"Oy, you ninny, what's happened?"

SHe checks, opening the door.

There is a spattering of tiny nails across the floor, clearly the orangy never knocked it over.

It perches, with no remorse or regret, atop a fishbolt spanner.

...Which is set in line with a number of cap and socket wrenches. That doesn't belong there...

Siiiigh. "Maramalade."

Engineers wrench, railroad wrench, chain pipe wrench, fishbolt spanner, parrot-nose pipe wrench. Annoying, is what it is.

"You will get me in trouble." She grouses as she starts reorganizing the tools.

As she pulls the spanner, there's a click, and suddenly, she's on an incline...the door shutting behind her as she's sliding down a ramp in what was the floorboards

Did the Dreaming itself just beep?

Whatever emerges from her mouth as she falls is apparently worth of censorship!

Marmalade zips down after here, with a rattle clatter of tiny nails, to boot

This place is nocker made, and that means it's samsonite for swear words!! Mind you, the tools do jangle and clatter above her as she curses

One advantage to a never is you have a built in light source! and she finds her self in an octacon of sorts, and all every other side a passage. She's in a maze

"Fer the luv of... Wudlig!"

She calls out, echoes travel further some ways than others. Marmalade Chimes

And a voice calls out , sounding a lot like Gerd, but digital "Welcome Studmaster 3.14159, which room do you need activated? The Batman protocal chamber? Combat and weapon practice range? snuggle witch chamber? or Crafting room?"

"...Studmaster? Oh, that's rich..."

"For wealth resource access, you will need to enter password"

Snort.

It looks like she has four directions... but none obviously lead up. She can only assume the ones named are where each passage leads

"Crafting room."

Passage number three lights up, the Never rolls back as if challenged by some device making lights its hue!

And the voice says "Proceed, but use password to bypass security tests and Cyrpto challenges"

"Gerd" She tries.

"Password incorrect. You are now in challenge mode" A beat "Newb"

the path is open, at least visually

Huff.

"Try me, Flyboy."

As she moves on, she finds herself suddenly stopped by a gate, and more glowing colors "Activating Spacial Conservation Challenge! If it reaches the top? Here you stop"

Buttons await. Can she pass this? As the blocks start to flow!

"Feh! You think you caught a pooka?"

Thistle has nimble enough hands and sharp eyes

It maybe she recognizes the retro origin, it maybe she just knows a puzzle when she sees it, but she works it, even as the pace picks up and up, she is winning

She is NOT a newb!

She shows it, getting better and better, it's satisfying clearing every bar... 'Now entering three dimensional fit' it turn turns CUBE

She mutters under her breath,

Now it's getting tricky

Thistle, however, can be stubborn.

And she's brillaint. She's not Khan, a two dimensional thinker! She's Thistle, a nocker, and with visions in her head far beyond 3 dimensions!

"You've earned access, .. unless you feel up to four Dimensional challenge? you can quit with passage. Most Pishers skip that extra challenge"
