The hologram is slightly tangible like holding your hand in a slight breeze and responds to pinch and pan gestures.

"This is my new favourite object," she says, hugging the bracelet against her chest.

Permalink

The woman smiles broadly. "I'm glad you like it. I hope you find more things to love about this place and what you find here."

Permalink

She puts on the bracelet, leaves her loot bucket with the rest, makes another bucket via Infinite Bark Hack, and heads off with a bounce in her step to keep exploring. It'll be so easy to cover ground efficiently with the map showing her exactly which bits of the world it's successfully recorded! She should get parallel to her initial line, follow it to the beach, do a circuit, and then start filling inward from there.

...also, if the sun goes down while she's out, she should go back to her cabin and sleep, and not pull a cartographic all-nighter.

Permalink

Upon putting on the bracelet there's a small feeling a bit like her wand that if she focuses she can turn on the map.

Her exploration goes fairly similarly. There are some more hills and more ponds and more cave entrances. The beaches when she reaches them have some scattered sea shells and dried out starfish on them. Does she go clockwise or counterclockwise around the island?

Permalink

She was walking with the original line of mapped territory on her right, so the efficient move is to turn left when she reaches the shore and go counterclockwise. She does that.

After some internal debate, she collects seashells in her basket. The dried out starfish might potentially be alive in some fashion, so she leaves those alone.

Permalink

For a while there's more snow paralleling the beach but then it gives way to a deep red environment. The grass and the leaves on the trees are the color of blood and there are nasty looking brambles on the underbrush.

Permalink

Spooky!

She punches ten trees at the edge of the red zone, to see if they drop anything novel.

Permalink

There's an odd sense of wrongness setting foot in this place but nothing apparent seems to happen.

Whether because it's luck or something about these trees eight of the ten yield naught but leaves the remaining two yield acorns and a Rambutan.

 

Permalink

That is a weird enough fruit that she's not even sure it's a fruit. She leaves it alone and goes back to her circuit of the shoreline.

Permalink

After a while longer the area shifts back to a forest with the same kind of trees as the center.

Permalink

And a little while after that the forest gives way to a desert. Cactus replace palm trees dotting the inner sands.

Permalink

...welp, it's time to... no. It is not time to punch a cactus. It is time to kick a cactus—ten cacti, for a baseline—because her feet have shoes and her hands do not.

Permalink

That's probably a good idea. The cactuses have some sharp looking spines. Nothing shakes loose when she kicks them. One of them has a pink pricky pear on it if she wants to try to cut it off.

Permalink

She can grab a pear, sure. Non-randomized fruit!

Permalink

It looks like there might be an oasis a ways off. There's also maybe something else but it's hard to tell almost blending into the sand.

Permalink

She squints suspiciously at it and walks a little closer. Not very close. Paying careful attention to her footing.

Permalink

It looks to be a pyramid, though it's either rather small or most of it is buried.

Permalink

Cool, good to have on her map, not going anywhere near it. Resume circuit of island.

Permalink

After some more walking the desert gives way to jungle. The sun is also starting to get lower in the sky. It's not quite evening but it will be soon.

Permalink

If she checks the map, how much of the island's edge has she covered and how much is left to go?

Permalink

The island as she's explored so far seems to be a circle and if that pattern holds she's almost exactly halfway around.

Permalink

Right then, probably time to head back toward the middle. She could use the suspicious artifact that's supposed to get her home instantly but, actually, she thinks she would really rather walk.

Permalink

The jungle seems oddly quiet as jungles go lacking any evident fauna. The water here when she passes it seems an odd blue-green color. It also has what seems to be bamboo growing out of it occasionally. The bamboo never grows on the land just in the water.

Permalink

She writes down 'ask about bamboo' in her notes.
