Piggy's Day/Try the carousel right away

From Create Your Own Story

Piggy: "No, no time for sleep now. I'm getting out of here today!"

You jump onto the carousel, which amazingly holds your stature. The spin is a bit rickety, but stable enough for you to decide that the river must be located to the left-hand side of you. You gather all of your posessions and head off to what in actuality is east. After about half an hour of walking, you come across the river.

Piggy: "Excellent! Now I just need to..."

You then see a fishing rod on the river bank. Your fishing rod. You realize that during the nine days it took you to build the carousel, you already used the river as a source of fish.

Piggy: "Well, that was a wasted effort. Anyways, now I need to build a raft to get to the ocean. Hopefully there are hotels in the vicinity."

With the tools you have, constructing a raft is very simple. As the night settles and mosquitoes start swarming, you shelter yourself from the East-African night by setting your tent on top of the raft. You set downstream, and fall asleep on a bed of weird, exotic leaves covering the bottom of the wooden raft. Morning come, you wake up to the distinct sound of waves hitting the raft. Slowly getting up, you peer your nose out from the tent to smell fresh ocean air. Slightly alarmed, you get out and see a vast, light blue blanket across in every direction.

Piggy: "Oh my. I must've rolled right past the coast and into open ocean!"

Then, to your confusion, you look down into the water. You see tiles.

Piggy: "What the..."

Light blue and white tiles in a chess formation.

Piggy: "Is this a pool?"

You look around more carefully than before, but fail to see any kind of a shoreline. You spend a few hours on the raft, sometimes diving 10 meters to the bottom to make sure that you're not hallucinating. There indeed are ceramic tiles instead of sand in the bottom. By midday, you've already consumed half of your rations, but can't seem to find any fish. Since the waves are only moderate, you decide to paddle in any direction. You are sure that this can't be the ocean, so it has to end somewhere. After half an hour of paddling, you see two jet skis heading your way. You get up and wave to them with your paddles to signal to them. They seem to be heading your way. As they get closer, you see that they are operated by an old couple.

Old woman: "'Ello there! You lost, perchance?"

Piggy: "Uhh.. A bit, yeah. Where exactly am I?"

Old woman: "Tis' here's the ocean pool of 'The Grand Slethany Hotel'. The largest hotel and pool combination on this half of the solar system!"

Piggy: "The Grand Slethany Hotel was the one I was supposed to accomodated in! What gives, why didn't they arrange a buss to the main building or something so I could register in?"

Old man: "Well you see, if you flew 'ere on AirCrap like we did, you probably were on the hotel grounds when you arrived. The entire country o' Slethany is one big ol' hotel, all the way to the 22 offshore kilometers defined by the UN law of the sea."

Piggy: "Well I'll be damned. Can you take me back to shore? My stay was for ten days and it expires today. I'd like to go home."

Old man: "Sure thing. You oughta sit on Harford's boat - My little angel here don't care too much for strangers."

The old woman lifts up a small yorkshire terrier in a life vest. The dog looks at you absolutely viciously, it's probably hungry. You gladly follow her advice and get on the old mans jet ski. After about 20 minutes, you are back on shore, to what looks like a desert. Then it's a 10 minute ride on all-terrain vehicles to get to the lobby of the massive hotel. You get to the lobby right around noon. After some 'orderly' discussion with the hotel manager and owner, you are granted another three days of stay in the actual hotel building.
