The Other Side — 4 of 4

Section 4 - Outdoors Region

Backyard is south of Dining Room. “An emerald lawn stretches out beyond the patio up to the edge of a fence. Your grandmother reclines on a lawn chair, enjoying the morning air."

Garden Flowers are a fixed in place thing in The Backyard with description "Some beautiful, sweet-smelling petunias line the back of the house." Understand "blossoms/boquets" as Garden Flowers.

Years Ago is a room.

After examining Garden Flowers for the first time:

say "It's hard to think of a springtime when your backyard wasn't covered in the most lovely of flowers.";

move player to Years Ago;

say "Your grandma moved into your house in the winter, but as soon as the snow began to melt, she started planting flowers. You've just gotten home from school, and she drags you with her into the backyard to show you how she does it. She tells you stories about her years working as a florist. You can tell that nothing makes her happier than planting these flowers, except perhaps having your help doing it.";

increase Familymemories by 1;

move player to The Backyard;

say "In the flower beds, there are almost as many weeds there as blossoms. Even just last year, your grandma would have been out here every couple days making sure that nothing would hurt her flowers. Now, you're not sure she has enough energy to get out of her chair alone."

Outdoors is a region. The Backyard and the Frontyard are in Outdoors.
