Petal Death Feared - Part 1

[Nobody]

Long ago...far too long ago... there was a WA tennis series called TMD, where half the parts were made by MyNameIsKooky and half the parts were made by Master Wonder Mage. Then Emerald141 started a tennis with MyNameIsKooky called TGT and a tennis with Master Wonder Mage called TGT.

...but Emerald141 doesn't exist anymore, does he?

We live now in the future, where Samuel and I have a tennis series called TMC. It is only appropriate, then, for Cookie to take up Emerald141's legacy and start tennises with both of us, both of which are called PDF.

This is Part 1 of Petal Death Feared, my tennis series where half the parts will be made by Cookie. A truly precarious situation indeed.

You will need Nobody & Ice's Merged Music Pack.

The rest of what you will need is enclosed within the folder below. Simply unzip it in your editor directory. Bear in mind, however, that I didn't make the visual stuff and I don't know who did. Thus are the credits for this adventure!

This could be one of the most intricate and detailed story-writing we have for the Wonderland Custom Content section lately, never thought I'd be seeing this for a while, loved the funny twist at the end as well.

The transporter puzzle was great but I was somewhat unsure if the flash area was accessible in one way or another (I asked you on Wondercord before writing this but I thought I'll mention it again.) Despite that, It definitely got me thinking for quite a while and was great nonetheless!

Thank you for making this, and I will have eyes on part 2's release!

Hmm, Hmm!! I guess I forgot to reply to this. Well, don't worry, for I, the one who's supposed to continue this tennis, is finally here to reply and say that I have no idea how to live up to this. But I will get to finishing part 2 asap once I'm done with Being Busy and doing Things like Having A Morning Person's Sleep Schedule (ew!)

Very nice puzzle! It was pretty tricky, and I had to come back to it after letting it gestate in the back of my mind for a month or so. I really liked the way you had to solve a puzzle with less to work with than what you're "supposed to have". It's rare for a magic-free puzzle to make me think this hard, but you pulled it off!.

Phenomenal storytelling too, as usual. I really loved the ending twist, which seems to be quite the common sentiment. I'm very much looking forward to seeing what other meta-elements get incorporated into the story.

This is a bit off-topic, but one of the signs mentions a character named Beam. Who is she, and, more importantly, what is she?

[Jutomi]

I bet she's a beam.

But genuinely, this was an absolutely top-notch banger of a kick-off to a new series, Goorab... and positively morbid yet hilarious

I absolutely loved all of it. Can't wait to see what you come up with for Part 3

As usual, here is my video solution~

However, unlike usual (as you know), there are two (at least afaik) alternate solutions to this puzzle as well...
and I've uploaded those as well

Cookie and Ash's Solution B
MNIK and Joseppy's Solution C

Many thanks to Joseppy for recording C for me.

Also, not entirely sure I actually "solved" B right - the timing was definitely weird when I tried it, so I may have missed a normal step. But I suspect I still did it mostly the same way they did.

Many thanks for the adventure. Can't wait for April so I can upload Part 2 and comment on Cookie's part

I can totally imagine her as a Zap-Bot. I actually had a dream about an NPC Zap-Bot once.

Thank you Jutomi for providing the videos as usual. You're a staple of our community, and a crucial part in recording the history of Wonderland Adventures custom content.

This is a bit off-topic, but one of the signs mentions a character named Beam. Who is she, and, more importantly, what is she?

The style of her name is reminiscent of the way Kabooms are named in the official Wonderland Adventures games. So, if I had to guess, she's a Kaboom. Her role in this adventure appears to be providing support equipment to the Reapers, but perhaps Cookie or Nobody will clarify further in a future adventure or prove me wrong.

NPC Zap-Bot is a pretty cool idea, and would actually be pretty easy to make in the editor.

How did I not realize that?
