“Are you ready for your first assignment?” she asks. “You know very well that if I’m not that I get kicked out of the compound,” You shudder at the thought of leaving the compound, “So why bother asking?” “It’s required by the rules. You are not the only one that has to follow the rules, the only person who doesn’t is Elchy, and he still does. You know that” she replies, even grumpier. “Sorry if I offended you. I didn’t mean to, so what is my assignment?” “You will go out of the compound to the forest. When you get there, find the hollow log next to a pond, then hide until you hear an old lady and two cats approach. When you do, run in-between the log and the pond and knock the old lady into the pond.” [[Say, "Why would I do that?"|Angry Supervisor's Office]] [[Punch the supervisor|Angry Supervisor's Office]] [[Say, "Of course!"|Cave Exit]]

You step out, your paws aching, into a forest, a hatch swinging closed behind you. You pause for a moment, waiting for your eyes to adjust to the sunlight. When they finally adjust you see that you are standing on some dark green grass, just next to the mountain that you have lived in for your entire life, this being the second time that you have ever been outside.

"Could you help me find a pond with a hollow log?" You ask the Squirrel. "And why would I do that?" It asks you with a thick country accent. "Out of the kindness of your heart!" You reply.

One of the cats runs into the log that you were in. You push the old lady into the pond. [[Push other cat into pond|John in pond]] [[Kill the other cat|Death by John]]

You dive into the water and find the cat looking for the old lady. It sees you and swims away. It seems to be upset with you. I wonder why...
