Old Thomas: Oh dear... Why, I just saw it here a moment ago!
. Ruler: What's wrong, Thomas? You look flustered.
Old Thomas: It seems I have lost scroll J971. I turned my back and then poof! Gone!
. Ruler: Are you sure? You're pretty disorganized, maybe it's just misplaced.
Old Thomas: I hope so. Shall we check the Library and my home?
. Ruler: Yes, let's!
Old Thomas: Well, this is a bummer.. I lost my scroll! Won't you help me find it?
1. Poof And Gone!
Old Thomas: No luck at all.
=====*=====
IVY: Hey! I saw that! Come back here, thief!
. Ruler: Did you say, thief? What did the thief take?
IVY: I was making a delicious Skunkupine sandwich for lunch when someone stole my bread!
. Ruler: No one steals in this Kingdom!
IVY: I guess it's time to start over.
. Ruler: I'll give you a hand, it'll be fun.
2. Bread Thief
IVY: Maybe it?s a hungry thief.
=====*=====
Hey! I'm missing some chickens!
Chickens?! Try missing a family pick-axe!
. Ruler: Looks like our thief isn't just hungry. hmm.. What's the best way to catch a thief?
Old Thomas: I know! How about we retrace their steps! Though now that I think about it, I don't even know where they started.
IVY: Maybe Old Thomas is onto something. let's try circling around the Kingdom for something suspicious.
3. Blind Leading Blind
IVY: Something doesn't feel right . .
=====*=====
. Ruler: I'm missing the necklace I was wearing the day I arrived here . .
Baron> Oh? You too?
. Ruler: What are you doing here?
Baron> Hah, isn't someone a wet cat. I heard the news delivered by my favorite crow. Is your Kingdom ok?
. Ruler: I don't trust anyone who receives news by crows.
Baron> Why the mean face, friend. I only want to help.
. Ruler: You can help by returning back to where you came from!
Baron> That would be the beautiful golden throne.
. Ruler: . . .
Baron>Now, why don't you tell your King what you lost?
. Ruler: I lost the necklace I was wearing the day you dropped me off here.
Baron> You were wearing a necklace? What did it look like? When did you lose it?
. Ruler: It's a locket that I could never open, so I stopped wearing it and kept it in my desk. Whats wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost.
IVY: Baron looks like he's seen a ghostly Skunkupine! I wonder if we can bribe him into talking a little more.
4. Missing Locket
IVY: Nope, he didn't t buy it.
=====*=====
. Ruler: Wow. You re not at all excited for expensive things? Are you possessed?
Baron> Nothing will calm me until that necklace is found! There will be a royal decree for it!
. Ruler: That's nice of you to care this much, but I'm sure it'll turn up eventually.
Baron> Pah! It's not for you! It's for me!
. Ruler: But its MY necklace. What do you want it for?
Baron> Child, child, its best you not know. Or remember for that matter. Forget you had it.
. Ruler: I don't like the sound of this.
Baron> Stay away from that necklace, OR ELSE you'll see a side of me you won't like.
. Ruler: I'm going to find it before you, just you watch.
Baron> Not a chance! I have a grand reward for the necklace. It's as good as mine!
IVY: Do you remember anything about that necklace? It has to be pretty darn special if he will give up gold for it!
5. Baron Rejecting Gifts?!
IVY: No luck yet?
Old Thomas: As your royal council I suggest we find the importance of this necklace.
. Ruler: I've tried opening the locket in the past . . nothing worked.
IVY: I have the perfect potion recipe that can help us! It's a perfectly good potion it's a vitamin, pretty much.
. Ruler: But . ?
IVY: But . . it has a side effect of going into a deep sleep where you recall old memories.
. Ruler: This is really complex.
IVY: Yep. You're drinking a potion in hopes of receiving the bad side effect.
. Ruler: Life the Glimmerwood is never boring with you guys.
IVY: Hey! A girl can't do it all alone! Help me out with the ingredients!
6. Ignore the Disclaimer
IVY: I like to sip this potion every morning!
. Ruler: You sure? It smells funky
IVY: Yep. I drink this every morning for my daily vitamins! I mean, c'mon! Just look at my hair and skin! This is au naturale!
. Ruler: I guess she looks pretty radiant. Alright. Baron! Here's to you not finding the necklace before me!
Old Thomas: Safe travels into dreamland! I'll be here when you wake up from your slumber!
7. Deep Slumber
Old Thomas: Relax and fall asleep, we're here.
8. Total Recall
. Ruler is sleeping and these are the fractured memories
*thump . . thump . . CRASH*
(Leader: UGH! Can't you do anything right? *YOU* are more clumsy than that knight Thurston!
. Ruler, still sleeping: Thurston?
(Leader: They'll notice the child is missing if we don't hurry! I'll have your head for this!
. Ruler, still sleeping: That sounds . . familiar . . .
(knave: My King! Surely there is another way!
(Leader: Fool! There is no other way. Besides, we're not committing any crime, per say. We're simply dropping off the child in the woods. And *I* will raise it instead. Think of me as . . the new parent.
(knave: My King! The horses are ready to go again. This rainfall is a bad omen . .
. Ruler awakens
Old Thomas: Child! You've been sweating enough for 5 summers!
IVY: Well? What did you see?
. Ruler: It was more of the same dreams I've been having. Horses. Wagons. Two people arguing. . Nothing about the locket though.
Old Thomas: No worries. I have a good feeling the Baron won't get to this necklace before we do.
. Ruler: Okay. But let's keep searching too!
Old Thomas: I think you should take a short nap and decode this dream later. It's no good to stress about it now.
Old Thomas: We'll find that locket in due time. Let's set it aside for now . .
