Once upon a time...
There was a small village full of pigs!!
(css: "font-size: 200%")[Big,]
(text-style:"condense")[Small,]
(text-colour:#f83f98)[Pretty,
]~~Ugly,~~
and average
[[pigs! -> Start of Day. ]]
You, an average,
kinda ~~ugly~~,
widowed father,
wake up to another regular day.
[[ Roll out of bed... -> Roll out of bed.. ]]
All kids scurry to you and all complain simultaneously
''(text-style:"rumble")[DaAaaaaaaaaaadd!! Im huungryyy!!!!!!!!!]''
(text-style:"subscript","shadow","shudder")[FOOOD FOOOD FOOOD FOOOD!!!!]
//(text-style:"sway")[um... dadwhenarewegoingtoeatidontwanttobotheryouoranyhtingbut]//
(text-style:"subscript","shadow","shudder")[ARE WE FINALLY EATING???!!!!]
(text-style:"buoy")[Hey dad? Are we eating breakfast today? Dad?]
The complaining and whining doesn't seem to end.
>Scrape together [[money -> scrape together money]]
Your house is not lavishly. There's a rugged couch surrounded by well-loved toys, an altar dedicated to your deceased wife with a highly valuable necklace laid on a metal tray.
[[>Sell wife's pearl necklace, the last "piece" of her -> take necklace]]
[[>Don't take wife's necklace and go to market -> good]]
You walk 15 minutes to town square. The village you live in is a quaint, homely village.
Kids running around holding wooden toys, townsfolk bustling among the various stands.
The main vendors, the food stand and merchant you frequent stand in the middle of the square.
[[>Go to food stand -> Food Stand]]
[[>Go to merchant -> Merchant]]You walk over to the stand populated with hay bales where Fern sits chewing on a stray piece of wheat.
Fern, a gentle giant who wears a stained apron and straw hat too tiny for his fat head, your best friend since you guys were in primary school.
When caught in a good mood, he can give you some solid deals.
He sells mostly just hay and on the rare ocassion carrots.
(if: $sold is true) [[>Buy a week's worth of food with the 8 pieces -> Get food]]
[[>Haggle for food -> Haggle vendor]]
[[>Go to merchant -> Merchant]]You approach the shady Merchant, Hughie.
He smiles at you and blinds you with his singular golden tooth.
His stand cluttered with trinkets that look like they're from all over.
Hughie is a skinny, frail salesman, whose infamous for his adorments of a bright red silk scarf that shields his face. He's known for being involved in sketchy business.
(if: $necklace is true) [[>Offer the necklace to sell->Sold necklace]](if: $necklace is false) [[>You have nothing to sell. Go to food stand -> Food Stand]]
As you walk back you overhear chatter amongst the crowd,
the village gossips always have the latest news,
they're more reliable than the local newspaper!
[[Get closer to the conversation... -> gossips]]You hear them casually talk outside a bakery,
(align:"<==")["Did you hear the 3 Piggies are looking for wives?"]
(align:"==>")["Wives or a maid?"
](align:"<==")["Wives! Marissa told me they already sent officiants to the next town over to scout out bachlorettes!"]
(align:"==>")["What losers, first raising the taxes now this?"]
(align:"<==")["Who cares?? I should get Mary on this, it's practically the lottery!!"

[[>Go back home -> home]](if: $gotfood is true) [[Your children crowd around you in desperation, eyeing the hay bale in your hand. You portion some to every child. -> >Talk to kids]]
(if: $gotfood is false) [[Your children crowd around you in desperation, they realize you have nothing in your hand and each of their heads fall. -> >Reassure kids]]
You pull your daughter to the side, better that she's eating so she's somewhat happy.
[[>Be direct and straight to the point. -> direct]]
[[>Sugarcoat it -> Sugarcoat]]
Cockroaches scurry to the darkness.
Practically a wasteland in here..
>[[Check other places -> kitchen]]
>[[Check up on your kids -> Hungry kids]]You see nothing but a few rotten tomatoes and a mushy banana.
Nothing needed besides a good cleaning.
>[[Check other places -> kitchen]]
>[[Check up on your kids -> Hungry kids]]Cobwebs and dust fly into your face.
Nothing's been here in a while...
>[[Check other places -> kitchen]]
>[[Check up on your kids -> Hungry kids]]You suddenly, hear something downstairs..
[[Listen closely -> open door]]//(text-style:"shudder")[CRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]//
[[Check what happened ->Go downstairs]]The boards creak under your hooves as you walk to the kitchen,
The laughter and chaos of little piglets grows (css: "font-size: 140%")[louder] (css: "font-size: 170%")[and] (css: "font-size: 200%")[louder.]
You enter the [[kitchen -> kitchen]].
Your 5 kids notice you and instantly whine for food,
Check the...
>[[drawers->drawers]]
>[[fridge->fridge]]
>[[cabinets ->cabinets]]
>[[kids -> Hungry kids]]You regretfully look at your wife's picture frame above a small side table. A tray full of dead wilted flowers put there by your children and a pearl necklace reside.
You pocket it in your trousers and hope her memory will sell for a pretty penny.
One of your kids looks at you in confusion,
"What are you doing with mama's necklace?"
You tell him you're going to clean it.
[[>Go to market -> going to market]]
(set: $necklace to true)
You hail a passing by farmer riding a horse with a cart full of hay attached to it.
You ask him which way he's going and ask if he's willing to take you both to Piggionaires row with the spare change you scraped together.
You board the back of the open cart and make your journey to the 3 little piggies.
It's silent between you and your daughter.
Talk to her?
[[> Yes -> Yes]]
[[> No -> No]]You nudge her a little and she looks away.
[[> "I'm sure they're nice people." ->annoyed]]
[[> "I'm sorry, I don't want you gone. I just want whats best for our family."->neutral]]
[[> "Stop sulking, you're gonna be rich! You'll even maybe get a choice!"->annoyed]]
You ride rest of the way in silence, your daughter hunched over in betrayal.
[[You look at the scenery to pass the time. -> pass time]]
The tension only rises, she scoots further away and crosses her arms.
[[You look at the scenery to pass the time. -> pass time]]She looks at you with a disdained look on her face.
"By selling me?"
She looks more hurt then betrayed.
[[You look at the scenery to pass the time. -> pass time]]Your trekking along when suddenly...
(text-style:"shudder")+(css: "font-size: 200%")[CRASH!!]
Along with the commotion you hear a scream.
[[You jump off the cart and go to the commotion... -> commotion]]You see a wolf!!!
The farmer is unconsious on the ground and the wolf is hunched over him, drool dripping from his lips.
The horses controlling the cart rear up in fear.
He looks back at you and slowly approaches you.
[[>RUN!!!!!!!!! -> run]]
[[>Slowly back away and reason with him -> reason]]
[[>Pick up a rock and hold your ground -> fight]]You decide to book it!!!
You carry your chubby little legs and try your best to haul your big bodied-self away from danger.
The wolf's paws pound the ground hauling towards you.
(text-style:"shudder")+(css: "font-size: 200%")[CRASH!!]
Suddenly, you're on the ground and feel a looming, heavy weight over you.
The wolf is pinning you down and his sharp teeth reveal themselves.
[[>Scream for your daughter -> scream]]
[[>Fight your hardest -> fight wolf]]You try to reason with the beast...
He still approaches you, now snarling...
[[>"Is it money you want? I got tons of it" -> bribe]]
[[>"Hey... you already got that guy... you surely don't need me too right?" -> rationalize]]You pick up the rock next to you and wobble a bit.
You hold it above your head in a threatening manner.
[[> Throw it -> throw]]
[[> Growl -> growl]]Before you could scream he muffles your mouth with his paw.
The wolf's demeanor changes when he hears your try to call for help towards the cart.
He looks towards the cart and notices your daughter, staring back in horror.
He slowly approaches your daughter.
[[Chase after him! -> Wolf finds daughter]]You try your best to squirm and hit the wolf,
your daughter jumps off the cart towards the commotion and sees the wolf in horror.
The wolf notices your daughter and changes his demeanor.
[[Hold and shield your daughter! ->Wolf sees daugher]]Money doesn't seem like his priority right now...
The only thing of value you have left is your daughter.
"I'll go grab the money! It's in the cart!"
You slowly shuffle your way back to the cart.
He tracks you with his eyes and the wolf notices your daughter and changes his demeanor.
[[>Hold and shield your daughter! ->Wolf sees daugher]]"I'm not even tasty, if anything, my daughter is tastier!!! Have my daughter!!!"
The wolf's demeanor changes.
He realizes the silhouette of your daughter on the cart and walks past you towards her.
[[>Chase after him! -> Wolf finds daughter]]The wolf dodges the measly throw.
He then notices your daughter on the cart watching in horror.
He ignores your non-threatening demeanor, walking past you and approaches your daughter
[[Chase after him! -> Wolf finds daughter]]You try and growl as loud as you can. Your daughter hears this and runs over to you and shrieks in fear.
The wolf stops growling and notices your daughter.
[[Hold and shield your daughter! ->Wolf sees daugher]]The wolf walks towards your daughter... whether or not he wants to eat her or not,
you fear for her life!
You see your daughter tremble and quiver in shock as the wolf towers over her,
staring into her eyes.
He suddenly turns to you...
[[Back away..->proposition]]The wolf's eye contact bounces between you and your daughter. He then continues to stare down your daughter.
Is it hunger? Is it curiousity?
[[Back away..->proposition]]Hughie snatches it away from your hand and pulls out a magnifying glass.
He carefully inspects it and and grins slyly.
Without looking up at you he says,
(align:"<==")+(box:"=XX=")["I can give you 6 gold pieces."]
He hands you 6 gold pieces without waiting for an answer and instantly stores it in his fanny pack.
(set: $sold to true)
[[>Go to food stand -> Food Stand]]
You decide that you don't want to sell your wife's last piece of her.
You'll have nothing to sell at the market, but you have some leftover money you can try and haggle with.
[[>Go to market -> going to market]]
(set: $necklace to false)Fern greets you warmly and asks how the kids are.
You guys chatter for a bit and you hand him what you sold your wife's memory for.
He hands you a bale that'll last probably a month. This is usually what you get for 8 silver.
You ask him why you're getting less for your buck.
(align:"<==")+(box:"=XX=")["Sorry, ever since the 3 piggies raised taxes, it's been harder on us the vendors. I'm sorry, I have to raise prices."]
[[>Go home -> twist]]
(set: $gotfood to true)Fern hesitates,
(align:"<==")+(box:"=XX=")["Sorry, ever since the 3 piggies raised taxes, it's been harder on us the vendors. I'm sorry, I can't give handouts now."]
[[>Go home -> twist]]
[[>Go to merchant -> Merchant]]
(set: $gotfood to false)They happily devour their food but your momentary relief wanes as you realize you don't have another valuable item to sell..
besides your oldest daughter.
[[Talk to daughter -> daughter]]You hear the grumbling of stomachs.
You don't have a choice but to sell your oldest daughter off to the highest bidder..
[[Talk to daughter -> hungry daughter]]You pull your daughter to the side. She looks thin and tired.
[[>Be direct and straight to the point. -> direct]]
[[>Sugarcoat it -> Sugarcoat]]
You try your best to lightly tell your daughter the situation the family is in and that happiness requires sacrifice sometimes,
meaning you have to sell her off to elitist piggies.
You finish your spiel with a gentle pat on the head.
(align:"<==")+(box:"=========XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX======")["I don't understand? Why are you doing this to me?? I won't go!! I won't!!!!" She cries."]
She continues crying, you're not really sure what to say.
You and your daughter go outside and you tell the rest of your kids to spend the day at your neighbor, Billy's house. Billy is a good, slightly weird old lady that smells of mothballs and ketchup.
[[Call a carriage -> Carriage]]You tell her upfront that you're selling her off to the elitist piggies.
The shock really gets to her as she starts crying, not saying a single coherent word.
You don't know what else to say, all that needs to be said was said.
You and your daughter go outside and you tell the rest of your kids to spend the day at your neighbor, Billy's house. Billy is a good, slightly weird old lady that smells of mothballs and ketchup.
[[Call a carriage -> Carriage]]The wolf readjusts his poster into a more proper positon and clears his throat.
(align:"<==")+(box:"===XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX==")["I apologize for my behavior. I just couldn't help but notice your daughter. Where are you two headed?"]
[[>"Why do you need to know?" ->1]]
[[>"We're heading to Piggionare's row." ->2]]
(align:"<==")+(box:"===XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX==")["Well, wherever you two are headed, there's more guys like me you know. You're just gonna keep running into folk like //me//. I'd like to proposition you to take me along you and your daughter's journey as somewhat of a body guard."]
[[>"Why should we trust you??" ->why]]
[[>"What do you gain from helping us?" ->why2]](align:"<==")+(box:"===XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX==")["Oh there? You're selling your daughter off to one of those fatties aren't you? You know the way there is a pretty treacherous journey... What if you run into more of folk like //"Me"?// You're gonna need some help."]
[[>"What help would serve us if you're the danger?" ->well]]
[[>"Nuh-UH" ->well2]](align:"<==")+(box:"===XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX==")["Well I'm standing right here not eating you both. There's your trust right? Come on. I know where you're coming from, I know where you're going. I can help you. "]
Trust the wolf?
[[Yes -> trustwolf]]
[[No -> donttrust]](align:"<==")+(box:"===XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX==")["You're right. It's not like traveling down the road will prevent you from running into //more// danger. It's your choice, I just simply want to help you."]
Trust the wolf?
[[Yes -> trustwolf]]
[[No -> donttrust]](align:"<==")+(box:"===XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX==")["What do I gain? Well, generally in that richer area are fatter, well-fed piggies. More nutritional value you know? I can hide behind in your cart to prevent detection. Don't worry I won't touch your 3 piggies. I know that's where you're headed. Why else do you have your daughter with you and especially coming from //your// area."]
Trust the wolf?
[[Yes -> trustwolf]]
[[No -> donttrust]](align:"<==")+(box:"===XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX==")["Yuh HUH.. I know where you come from. I'm warning you now that I've seen the many other pigs come from //your// direction be ripped to shreds."]
Trust the wolf?
[[Yes -> trustwolf]]
[[No -> donttrust]]You hesitantly accept his offer.
"Great. I'll get you where you're going safe and sound. You can trust me."
Your daughter is still trembling in fear as the wolf buries himself in the hay. She sits on the driver's seat bench to avoid the wolf.
You step over the unconcious maybe dead farmer and take his cart and click for the horses to go.
[[You continue your journey to Piggionaire's row with an unexpected guest by your side... ->continuejourney]]
(set: $wolf to true)You tell him that you don't care if he'll protect him or not. That you're better off with the odds than to trust the enemy.
"Ok. Have it your way then. I smell desperation and struggle on you anyways, I can't wait to have you as leftovers when they're done with you. Teehee!"
He dissappears into the brush without a sound.
You slowly gather your bearings and steal the unconcious farmer's cart with your trembling daughter now sitting beside you. You click for the horses to go and continue your trek to [[Piggionare's row. ->continuejourney]]
(set: $wolf to false)You continue trotting along the poorly-paved dirt path, your daughter clearly shaken up from the situation.
You try and comfort her by whistling a tune. She seems to be more at ease. Her eyes drift into the tree line, a weary presence still stands over both of you.
(if: $wolf is true)[She looks back over her shoulder constantly to check on haystack containing a large, dangerous enemy.
His snout pokes out of the hay.
She gasps and grabs your arm when she starts to look inquisitively at this nose.
She pokes it and the wolf playfully blows hay at her face.
Your daughter giggles and starts to converse with the wolf. Your focus on the road distracts you from the giggling between your daughter and the wolf.]
[[Continue on, -> arrive at PR]]
After what seems like hours, you finally arrive in the town of Piggionaire's Row.
Formal and more refined buildings line the street.
Pigs walking around in their fancy garb attract your daughter's attention.
(if: $wolf is true)[You finally take note of the wolf and your daughter. They're engaging in deep philosophical discussions about life. The wolf seems oddly smitten..]
You stop a pedestrian and ask for [[directions.->directions]]The fatter gentleman the size of your buddy Fern but with a tightly fitted tuxedo turns his attention to you irritated,
(text-colour:yellow)[(align:"<==")+(box:"=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX=")["What do YOU want peasant??"]]
[[>Ask politely for directions -> polite]]
[[>Insult ->insult]]
(if: $wolf is true) [[>Use your wolf companion to threaten ->threaten]]You politely ask the posh pig where you could find the 3 Piggie's estate.
He looks you up and down and points in a vague direction with no explanation and walks off.
[[Follow that direction-> PR house]]You tell the Posh Piggy his outfit sucks.
He looks greatly offended and scoffs, walking away.
You decide to try and find your own way to the 3 Piggies Manor.
Among the fancy cobbled streets you find a sign at an intersection
(align:"=><=")+(box:"==XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX===")[''
3 PIGGY ESTATE ->'']
Eureka!! You follow that direction [[to piggy manor -> PR house]] The wolf from inside your hay bale sticks his head out and growls showing his sharp teeth.
The frightened posh pig instantly jumps at the sight of a wolf and instantly points in a direction of the 3 little piggies.
[[Follow that direction-> PR house]]You reach the great golden gates that stand elegantly at the base of a hill. There's a buzzer located on the stone pillar to your left and press it.
(text-style:"rumble")[
BZZZZZZZZ***]
(align:"=><=")+(box:"=======XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX===")[//"YEea?? Who'ses there'ses???"//]
You explain the situation and that you're here with a potential bachelor for the 3 Piggies.
(box:"=======XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX===")[//"Yea yeah yeahs, okayses, when you here the buzz come right through the gate and up the hillses."//]
You then proceed [[up the hill -> door]]
Before you reach the top of the hill, three piggies burst through the door and run towards you.
(text-colour:yellow)[The first piggy running towards you is huffing and puffing, he seems desperate like he has never interacted with anyone in his entire life.]
(text-colour:navy)[
The second piggy out is walking with a firm stride, he seems very adamant with his fast pace but retains his stride almost as to hide his excitement.]
(text-colour:red)[The third piggy stands outside, not walking towards your cart, almost as if he is unbothered by your presence, yet he still came outside.]
[[>You get off the cart and introduce yourself ->intro]]
[[>You stay on the cart and let them speak first ->speak]]You attempt to introduce yourself but are cut off immediately,
(text-colour:yellow)[(align:"<==")[
"OH WOW!! What a purrtyy piggy you got there mister!!! I will buy her off you for 400 gold!!!!!!!!"

The second piggy approaches the cart
(text-colour:navy)[(align:"<==")["Eh she's alright I guess... I'd say a solid 200 and maybe throw in a free coat-jacket."]]
[[The third pig finally approaches your cart -> third pig]]You stay silent and let them speak to you first.
(text-colour:yellow)[(align:"<==")[
"OH WOWZA!! What a purrtyy piggy you got there mister!!! I will buy her off you for 400 gold!!!!!!!!"

The second piggy approaches the cart
(text-colour:navy)[(align:"<==")["Eh she's alright I guess... I'd say a solid 200 and maybe throw in a free coat-jacket."]]
[[The third pig finally approaches your cart -> third pig]]Before you could get any word in on the matter, the third pig approaches. His demeanor more intimidating than the rest.
He sizes your daughter up and down.
(align:"<==")[(text-colour:red)["She'll do. Take her in."]]
The other two piggies nod and gesture guards from inside the house. An small army of massive pigs march to your cart and try to grab at your daughter. One of them holding a weighted sac of presumably gold.
(if: $wolf is true)[You hear low growling come from your cart.]
[[>Stop the guards-> stop]]
[[>Let them take your daughter->taken daughter]]
You try and stop the guards from taking your daughter so hastily without explanation!
One of the guards shove you back down onto your seat with no hesitation.
You scream for your daughter but to no avail!
(if: $wolf is true)[Suddenly, the wolf (text-style:"shudder")[bursts] our of the haystack on your cart!
His demeanor unmatched compared to when you first encountered him.
He charges the guards and rips them to shreds, pig chunks flying everywhere.
(text-colour:red)[Blood and carnage littered everywhere]
One of the guards hits the wolf down with a heavy club. He winces and falls to the ground.]
[[>Run towards daughter -> helpdaughter]]
[[ >run off with money -> run off]]
(if:$wolf is true)[[ >help the wolf -> wolf]]
You let the guards haul your daughter inside the grandiose mansion. She kicks and screams for your help.
One of the guards turn around and throws you a sachel. Inside contains 800 gold coins. That's enough to last for a lifetime!
The 3 piggies all turn around and make their way back to their house. Your daughter gone and in your hand a fat sack of riches.

It's the money! He drops the bag at the foot of the cart.
"You see why you needed protection.
Those piggies you just sold your daughter off to are terrible pigs. They don't need love, it's some lie they spread through hired officiants to spread to desperate folk to lure in gullible fools like you.
Your daughter will live her life in misery while you sit here. Enjoy your money.
The wolf slowly, walks away.
You realize now what the wolf meant when he mentioned danger ahead...
You lay there on the ground. Cold and bleeding, hugging your sac of money.
You have enough money to feed your family until they leave home,
but truly,
at what cost?

Those piggies you just sold your daughter off to are horrible pigs. They don't need love, it's some lie they spread through hired officiants to spread to desperate folk to lure in gullible fools like you.
Your daughter is going to be miserable for the rest of her life while you sit here.
Broke.
I'll spare you your life since you tried to fight for her. That's the least you deserve."
The wolf slowly, walks away.

You lay there as you look up at the sky, going out of consiousness, penniless..
