joonie with a J as in {cycling link for: 'Jsound', choices: ['jam', 'jalepeño', 'johannesburg']}. joonie is an anxious little [[pebble.]] {embed Flickr image: '<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/201509751@N02/54091593455/in/dateposted-public/" title="joonie"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54091593455_fbd9f39963_o.jpg" width="1200" height="1114" alt="joonie"/></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>'} {back link, label: 'Back'}

joonie lives in a garden of the estate of a mean, old, stingy, rich, stupid, poopy lady who smells of {cycling link for: 'ladySmell', choices: ['fertilizer', 'pollen', 'putrid plums']} ...we'll call her {text input for: 'hag', required: true}. in this little pebble's home, there are babbling brooks, sporefully-oozey mossy hills, and a still pond filled with snowy koi fish that race like sirens. it's a beautiful garden... but run by a **pebble-kicking**, terrible old hag. {embed Flickr image: '<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/201509751@N02/54090630327/in/dateposted-public/" title="old woman"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54090630327_1185dc7940_o.jpg" width="2048" height="2048" alt="old woman"/></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>'} [[>>>]] {back link, label: 'Back'}

joonie would like to find a peaceful spot in the garden away from the menacing, {text input for: 'hag'} so they can settle down in a new home with their pookie, {text input for: 'poonieName', required: true}. it is also vital they stay together. can you help them? {embed Flickr image: '<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/201509751@N02/54091742605/in/dateposted-public/" title="joonie and poonie"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54091742605_4fa87cb581_o.jpg" width="1200" height="1114" alt="joonie and poonie"/></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>'} where should they go? > [[the babbling brook]] > [[the mossy hills]] > [[the still pond]] {back link, label: 'Back'}

the stream glistens from the glowy sunlight, shining through the ruby maple trees. {text input for: 'poonieName'} loves the sound of the water trickling down towards the pond. oh dear! {text input for: 'hag'} is approaching! joonie and their girlfriend should [[jump in the water!]] [[hide in the grass!]] {back link, label: 'Back'}

in the pleasantly damp, yet refreshing green, covered in cherry shrooms and fluttering daisies, the two pebbles sit. oh how they love to just sit. but oh dear! that old hag is creeping nearby! quick! [[hide in the grass!]] [[roll down the hill!]] {back link, label: 'Back'}

fluffy clouds reflect in the mirror-like lake. what a lovely place this could be to make a home. but oh dear! it looks like {text input for: 'hag'} has started to skip rocks in the pond! quick! what should the two little pebbles do? [[hide in the grass!]] [[bury themselves in the sand!]] {back link, label: 'Back'}

the two little rocks sink to the bottom of the riverbed where they are met by slippery, browned, algae-covered stones. they seem to be sleeping. [[wake them up.]] [[follow the current back to the shore.]]

oh dear, it looks like some critters want to use the two pebbles as homes! [[let them.]] {reveal link: 'roll down to the beach.', passage: 'bury themselves in the sand!'}

oh no! {text input for: 'poonieName'} rolled right into the pond! and joonie zoomed right into the path of the old hag, where she booted the little pebble all the way over the fence of the garden. joonie and their pookie are separated and lost from each other forever! :( Here's a back link if, you'd like to try again :) [[>>>]]

"euuughhhh... we've saaaat here for ages," moaned one of the slimy rocks. "i used to be as blue as you, little {reveal link: 'one."', passage: 'a'}

joonie and {text input for: 'poonieName'} are swept along the stream, rolling against the river floor. the two pebbles start to get extremely {reveal link: 'dizzy.', passage: 'd'}

one." the little pebble's eyes widen at the sight of the old rock and his gross {reveal link: 'state."', passage: 'b'}

state." "but..." he continues, "as long as i'm with my wife, i'm happy." he turns to the stone next to him, just as goopy and dirty as he {reveal link: 'is.', passage: 'c'}

is. joonie and {text input for: 'poonieName'} look to each other. [[stay]] [[follow the current back to the shore.]]

thanks to you, joonie and {text input for: 'poonieName'} get to grow old and mucky together, free from the rushing current and that old, rock-kicking tyrant <3

{text input for: 'hag'} found them! she starts to reach for joonie and their partner, ready to throw into the pond. which will she throw? [[joonie]] [[their partner]]

dizzy. this isn't peaceful at {reveal link: 'all!', passage: 'e'}

all! should we stay by the water? back to [[the still pond]]? or [[keep going?]]

the current sweeps {text input for: 'poonieName'} away from joonie, but joonie can't roll towards their beloved because joonie is too dizzy. joonie and their pookie are separated and lost from each other forever! :( Here's a back link if, you'd like to try again :) [[>>>]]

:O joonie can't believe you'd do such a thing. anyone but their pookie! now joonie and {text input for: 'poonieName'} are separated and lost from each other forever! :( Here's a back link if, you'd like to try again :) [[>>>]]

the old lady tosses joonie up and down in her hands, "too circular and small to skip!" she croaks as she drops joonie back into the {reveal link: 'sand.', passage: 'f'}

sand. the little pebble shuffles their way back to their beloved, where they find {text input for: 'poonieName'} tracing circles in the {reveal link: 'beach.', passage: 'g'}

beach. "look, joonie! we can settle here!" the little brown pebble jumps for joy at the sight of hundreds of other rocks and stones sitting peacefully, arranged in designs in the zen garden. thanks to you, joonie and {text input for: 'poonieName'} have found a home to sit in...peacefully for all their days.

a family of bugs are now using joonie and {text input for: 'poonieName'} as their shelter. it wouldn't be so horrible if it weren't for the millions of children the mother critter has made! oh no, this is turning out to be a not-so peaceful home.
