STORY: SISTER'S STUDIO The twin sisters were once friends with the Queen's until the kids chorus sang the wrong words for the Queens annual birthday celebration. We recently found out that if was a prank on the Queen, but the kindergarteners sure got a kick out of singing a song about old age and tossing wigs. First, you must help the sister's select a theme, chorus, or slogan for a beauty, gardening, or baking campaign. Remaining Jewels to Collect: (text-colour:navy)[Sapphire] (set: $Sapphire to false) (text-colour:grey)[Diamond] (set: $Diamond to false) (text-colour:purple)[Amethyst] (set: $Amethyst to false) (text-colour:lime)[Emerald] (set: $Emerald to true) (text-colour:red)[Garnet] (set: $Garnet to true) [[SISTER'S STUDIO ]] [[INVENTORY]]

"Welcome, Amora, come on in," said the sister's, in unison. Amora, stunned by the elegance and uniquly bright colors adorning the room. The sunlight shined and glistened through the windows, and the vaulted celing heightend the home. "How are you? Were so glad you're here," said the sister's. "I'm glad to be here, said Amora, the energy is refreshing." "Wonderful," said Priscilla. "This is such a blessing, said Patience. So, your on a quest to the palace, how exciting. Are you ready to practice your poetry?" asked the sister's. Amora, captivated by the scenery, paused before answering. "Uh...yes, I'm ready, game on." "That's the spirit!" said the sister's. As corny as the sister's may sound, Amora was happy to be out of her mother's dreadful house. [[LEVEL ONE]]

The Sister's were in a spat over changing the name of the studio. Can Amora figure out the theme to help change some things? Studio Vau: This title sounds a little crazy, doesn't it?

Many jewels are planted along this Quest, here you've unlocked the secret message from the Quean. "Amora, return my precious royal jewel back to me, and I will reward you generously, there is one more jewel inside the home and if you find it, skip this home, and forge on to my palace immediately." Signed your Majesty. Hint: this is a home of flavors. Read the secret message. It's still the wrong choice. Try again. [[Mission 2]]

SIDE QUEST: Amora can choose to get a [[MAKE-OVER]] before starting the mission, OR begin the work on the [[CAMPAIGN]].

EXCELLENT CHOICE: Priscilla is a baker and a cosmotologist and Patience is also a chef, a botonist, and make-up artist. Sit here dear, said Priscilla. I'll give you a wash and color. Choose a color for Amora: [[BLACK]] [[RED]] [[AUTUMN ORANGE]]

THEME: [[BEAUTY]] [[GARDENING]] [[BAKING]] [[BEAUTY, GARDENING, AND BAKING]]

Black is beautiful. Correct choice. Priscilla washes, colors, dries, trims, and does a brazillian silk press on Amoras hair. Then spins Amora around to the large mirror. Amora feels beautifula and her hair feels healthy. While starring in the mirror she noticed an opened case under Priscillas's station. A daimond twinkled, gaining Amora's attention: WHAT SHOULD SHE DO NEXT? [[SIT STILL UNTIL PRISCILLA RETURNS]] [[POCKET THE JEWEL]]

Oh no! Red is not it. Let's move on to the [[CAMPAIGN]] and finish the mission.

A lovely choice, but it's wrong, it isn't the season for this. Since you answered incorrectly, you will need to proceed to the [[CAMPAIGN]].

Priscilla returns, Amora gets up nervously and the jewel slips out of her pocket. She rushes to the restoom. Meanwhile, Prscilla get the broom to sweep,she sweeps around the chair swiffs up the jewel. "Oooh," she scan the room then grabs the box and inserts the jewel then leaving the parlor, then retuning after placing the jewel in a safe place. Failed Mission: Dropped jewel. "How," you ask?

Amora's Story Amora's Quest: From Carolina to London Family Home: Carolina Amora has grown, despite the strife filled moments in her mother's house. <audio autoplay> <source src="Assets2/Angels.mp3"></audio> Amora's mother, Aunra lives in a 2 bedroom, 2 bath cottage, newly remodeled for kitchen space, new windows, a corner library, a nice sized living room, and a fireplace. She also ordered for the outside of the house to be painted black. With two parked cars, freshly washed, on a newly paved charred black driveway. This is where her ornery mother lives with her lazy movie crazed little sister, Laura, and her friend, Catty Caitlyn. About 5 years ago, on a fall afernoon, Amora was sent to run errands by her crazy, petty, vengeful mother. While waliking along a long narrow path of South Carolina's autumn country side, Amora met an old woman. Amora greeted the woman, listened, then offered to help the old lady. The old woman began to unwind her hair wrapp, sparkles started sparkling, then the old woman revealed herself to be an enchanting fairy. The fairy used her wand of words to increase Amora'a graceful speech, forever granting her favor and fortune when she speaks and scribes this spiritually enhanced speech. When Amora returned home that day, her mother and sister became enraged and jealous. They took five of Amora's jewels and hid them in the house, hoping to stash them forever. Amora left and never returned after her mother threatened and tried to corrupt her. She went to live with her new fairy God mother who helped her harness her spiritual powers. Amora also wears a shy cloak that often weighes heavily upon her passion and will. She's musically inclined during every practice and performance, yet when facing the big bright stage she often retreats. This created a huge challenge for Amora, although she's advanced over past 5 years. At this time, many great people revere Amora. A special Queen and Keynote Speaker has heard word of Amora's skills and are now opening a poetry competition. This is an opportunity for many peots to showcare their talent and skills. The best Poet will earn an an internship, as an apprentice of the Keynote Speaker, a prerequisite for the role of the States Official Poet Laurette. On Amora's 18th birthday she recieved a call and got word that she'd been slected to compete for the apprenticeship of the Official Poet Laureate. Ms. Blige must express and test her skills while sojourning and serving her way to the palace. Except, she must face the (text-colour:red)[FAMILY HOUSE] which has caused her emotional damage. Has she healed? Is her talent real? Will she make the right choices in this game? [[Mission: 1]]
