> Checks out all the sights.

Sure. It's... kinda cute? Diner, supermarket, a touristy shop or two, general store, gas station. And you get a good view of the river.

>Goes to the museum, looks around

There are all sorts of displays; some are obvious hoaxes such as "new species" and "cryptids" that are clearly just two unrelated animals taxidermied together, and obviously-fake Bigfoot sightings but there's also some actual displays on local history and even something about an anomaly in the area. You'd really like to look at the stuff about the anomaly for longer but it's all weirdly encrypted and you've got no way to translate it, and looking at the accompanying photos for too long gives you one hell of a headache.

It was certainly a homely little town. The cozy atmosphere put some of her fears to rest. She decides to > Walk into the diner, as that seemed to be the local hangout spot from what the people at the inn were saying.

You find the diner pretty easily by asking one of the locals. It's your typical greasy spoon type place. There's some townies sitting in booths and at tables. A glance at the menu shows a variety of breakfast dishes served all day as well as... do you really want more burgers?

[Whistle]

Jake decides to follow the others throughout the museum, just eating his last burger.
> What else is there around that you see?

[PointMaid]

> What else is there around that you see?

You mostly see what's already been mentioned. There's also a small memorial to missing people and a bit about the local environment. Yay temperate rainforest.

[Zanreo]

"Huh, an anomaly? ...oof, I should be used to weird stuff like this now, and yet..." She looks away, because this was weirdly painful to look at somehow?

[wingedcatgirl]

Maple half wants to taunt Destiny some more, but decides he's more interested in doing other things and decides to

>explore the forest for cool bugs

[PointMaid]

>explore the forest for cool bugs

You certainly find cool bugs! You find lots of butterflies and dragonflies and... flies and mosquitoes.... and, oh dear, a whole swarm of wasps! You might want to get out of there.

She decides to > grab some coffee and make small talk with some of the townies there, maybe ask about any…anomalies.

[wingedcatgirl]

No way!

>Befriend the wasps! And also the other bugs!

[PointMaid]

> grab some coffee and make small talk with some of the townies there, maybe ask about any…anomalies.

You make some small talk, but the regulars don't really seem to want to talk about an anomaly. They seem a little spooked at you even mentioning it.

>Befriend the wasps! And also the other bugs!

Heh. They're now buzzing about you interestedly. Not like they're going to sting you or bite you, but like they're interested in what you're... saying?... to them? Yeah.

[wingedcatgirl]

Yeaaaaahhhhh bug friends!

>Explore the forest with the new bug friends!

[noodlesnook]

Zee notices the others arriving in the museum.
>Look around

[PointMaid]

>Explore the forest with the new bug friends!

Well, ok. You go for a hike and the bugs follow you. There's nothing *too* weird on the path you take.

>Look around

You pretty much just see what Bootlegger and Jake have already seen

[noodlesnook]

“Curious…”
>Examine one of the “cryptids” further

[Caret]

The history museum can always come later. For now, Emilia wants to...

> go on a short hike through the woods. Any good views?

[KungFuCutbug]

[...Well, the scuffle from earlier seems to have died down and most of everyone else is off doing their own thing. So what is there for Summer and Cherry to do, now?]

"Psst, Sumsum," [Cherry says, zapping Summer's hand slightly to get her attention.]

"Ow—...what is it?"

"There's a river over there, see?" [She points to the river in question.] "You think there's anything cool we can catch in there?"

[Summer snickers a bit.] "With what, your bare hands? Not like we brought any fishing equipment, what's the—"

[Cherry immediately begins to dart off to heed Summer's "suggestion", only to get pulled back by her girlfriend grabbing the back of her jacket collar.]

"Hey, don't. You'll ruin your outfit. We can just get a fishing rod here or something."

> Search through the shops for fishing equipment you can snag

[PointMaid]

>Examine one of the “cryptids” further

Ooh, that looks real realistic!... until you look a lot closer and realize it's obviously put together from part of normal animals. Heh.

> go on a short hike through the woods. Any good views?

A pretty good one. The river is pretty.

> Search through the shops for fishing equipment you can snag

Well, you found a few fishing flies, but that's about all you see on a first glance

[Dookie]

Hmmm…if they weren't budging, then she would just have to find it herself. Before she did that though, she decides to > look through the general store for anything useful, or anything that she could use if she are to confront the anomaly, whether that be in the woods or while she's just minding her own business.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Mindy just chuckles over Destiny missing her punch. Sure, Mindy didn't exactly get in some licks herself, but she at least held her own.

>She'll grab a burger and check out the river.

[Caret]

"Good view. Perhaps it would be even more stunning if I soar over it!"

Emilia takes off her scarf, which assumes a parachute-like shape. Good thing she brought her skysail with her, even if she just uses it for sightseeing.

> glide over the river

[KungFuCutbug]

[Fishing flies. That's... a good start, Summer supposes? She's never done fly fishing before and she doubts Cherry has either, but it can't be that difficult to get the hang of. Besides, this was just a first glance, maybe there's more here she hasn't noticed...?]

> Check again for fishing equipment, especially fly fishing equipment. Like waders, hand nets, etc.

> look through the general store for anything useful, or anything that she could use if she are to confront the anomaly, whether that be in the woods or while she's just minding her own business.

For a brief second you think you found something that might actually help. But it's so powerful you forgot what it is because it's so powerful wiped your memory... or is that just from about a million random items falling on your head in your search?

>She'll grab a burger and check out the river.

Ok. It's an ok burger and the view you find is also... ok.

> glide over the river

Ok! That's high! That's... oh, wow, that's really high

> Check again for fishing equipment, especially fly fishing equipment. Like waders, hand nets, etc.

You find some nets and waders. ...They have a couple holes in them, but they're nets and waders
