Treadville(Act 1)

Grandma: Thanks for agreeing to get my old sewing machine out of the attic sweet-pea!

Grandma: I think I left it somewhere towards the back...

Player: Her sewing machine is here somewhere...

Player: ...?

Player: What's that sound?

Player: There's sound coming from underneath that cloth...

Player: What the... what kind of mirror is this? Where did grandma get this...?

Player: Woah...

Oliver: I found him right underneath the radishes.

Veena: HA! He's so annoying!

Oliver: W- what is that?

Veena: Hello? WAKE UP.

Oliver: Veena! Don't scare the dang crickets out of em

Oliver: Are you okay? That was a mighty rough crash! I ain't ever seen anything like it.

Veena: Yeah, you fell right onto my expensive dress and destroyed our beautiful tea party.

Player: I'm sorry, I don't know where I am! One minute I was in my grandma's attic, and the next thing limited knew I was falling out of the sky!

Oliver: Jeepers creepers! We can take you into town to get some help and maybe get some more information!

Oliver: Oh no... Rocky fell asleep at the only exit.

Oliver: He gets super grumpy when you wake him up from his naps, so maybe we should wake him up with a peace offering.

Oliver: Maybe you can help? Collect some jars of honey from the bees here so that we can wake Rocky.

Oliver: Jars are over here, pick one up, take it to a beehive to collect honey, and then bring it back!

Veena: Don't get stung and die. I don't want to have to come in there and fish you out.

Oliver: Y'all got this!

Oliver: Greatjob, now let's use the honey and get Rocky outta the way!

Oliver: Excuse me Rocky!

Rocky: Grrr... I was hanging such a good nap!

Oliver: Sorry for wakin' ya Rocky, our new friends needed to get out and you were blocking the exit. We brought you some honey as a peace offering!

Rocky: Oh, shucks. I'm sorry for blockin' the exit. Thanks for the honey! How 'bout I walk you folks into town?

Oliver: Town center is right ahead this dusty ole' footpath

Veena: Don't touch anything that's not yours-

Rocky: Threadville is perdy as a peach today, purrfect nappin' weather.

Veena: Don't you think you've napped enough already?!

Oliver: But as I was sayin' Veena, I caught him by the dang radishes!

Veena: What a twerp. Worm's a nuisance.

Oliver: Oh, I wouldn't say that. He's a-

Veena: Oliver, he's uncouth.

Oliver: He thinks we're best friends. It drives me nuts.

Veena: He ate your radishes! He's disrespectful.

Oliver: It's somethin' awful to be small in this world. So I understand it.

Veena: Urgh. You've really gotta stand up for yourself.

Rocky: Howdy ther', miss Charlotte!

Charlotte: ROCKY!!!!

Rocky: Still playin' tedderball?

Charlotte: eh, i'm tired of playing alone. i'm too good, even for myself.

Oliver: Well, this ol' barn has some fresh new faces. They could play with ya!

Veena: They might be good at tetherball, or they'l just get hurt playing with you.

Rocky: Heh, they might ev'n beat ya miss Charlotte!

Charlotte: beat me?! yeah, right. when puppets fly.

Oliver: Heh! Well… they actually did, they fell right out the sky!

Veena: Right into our tea party. Crashed the whole thing.

Patty: Oh my heavens, what?

Veena: Crashed right into my tea party. Broke my table.

Patty: Awh these poor sweet-peas. Must be shaken up after a day like that.

Veena: They said they got pulled into a portal?

Patty: Hmm..I wonder if I can anything about this at the Library.

Rocky: I don't seems to have anywhere to put 'em for the night.

Patty: They can stay with me! I will always provide a home to the lost and found.

Patty: you can use my spare sleeping bag for tonight.

Patty: Thank you, Charlotte. Come now,it's past your bedtime.

Charlotte: yea yea, whatever.

Player: No one seems to know how I got here… How will I ever get back home?

Player: I don't want to be a puppet. I miss my bed, I miss Grandma, I want to go home.

Player: ...

???: HELP! HELLLP!

Player: ?!

Player: Someone needs to help! It's coming from outside!

Player: Who was screaming for help?

Player: There it is again!

Player: Wha- i-is that...Rocky?

Player: Awesome! The power's back on!

Player: There might be someone in the market who can help.

Worm: YOU'RE BREAKING AND ENTERING!

Player: N-no! We're hiding from Rocky!

Worm: Rocky?! But he's my best friend. Why don't you go bother Oliver about this.

Player: How do we get to Oliver?

Worm: You…Uh, gotta go through the main gate, then cross the bridge.

Player: Hmm. The main gate is locked.

Worm: Rocky usually keeps the key in his back pocket, I've stolen it before.

Worm: Go get some apples for me, and I'll tell you how.

Player: Okay! Will do!

Worm: Fantastic! The apple trees are behind this building. There should be a bucket next to them, fill it up and bring it back

Worm: NICE! Look at all these fresh apples. This plan is so smart, isn't this fun?

Worm: Now all we need is some dirt!

Player: Dirt?! Why would we need dirt to find the main gate key?

Worm: Do NOT question my genius. No dirt, no key.

Worm: You got the dirt! This means we're like best friends now.I love having friends. Alright, next… a skateboard.

Player: WORM. You said after getting you the dirt you'd tell us where to get the key.

Worm: Well.I lied. Now let's get this skateboard, new bestie!

Worm: Hey.. HEY...NOW WAIT A MINUTE.

Worm: YOU CANT DO THIS. YOU'RE TO NICE!

Worm: I KNOW PEOPLE THAT CAN HURT YOU.

Worm: I'LL TELL MY BIG COUSIN TO SQUISH YOU!

Worm: JUST GET ME THE SKATEBOARD AND ILL TELL YOU WHE.

Worm: GARGLEGARBLEGARBLE

Worm: AAAHHHH. OKAY OKAY! ROCKY HAS THE KEY.

Worm: His lunchbox is in the treehouse, use that to lure him.
