[ENTER THE PALACE]
[You find yourself with a sensation like floating in water.]
[Above, the sky is dark. You can occasionally see things shifting, like gusts of wind, or perhaps waves of water. Is it…even a sky above you? Or is it some kind of giant ocean? Whatever it is, you can’t make it out very well. All around you, you appear to be floating in what appears to be water. It looks like a great, wide ocean of…space in every direction around you, with stars and lights twinkling in the distance. It looks like water and feels like water, but it doesn’t make you wet. You can reach your hand into it and pull some out, the purple and violet water and the tiny points of light inside it will even rest in your hands if you cup them to carry it, but once you’re not trying to hold it anymore, it’ll flow off of you, not a single drop remaining behind. You feel something similar if you go underneath the surface. The “water” doesn’t touch your eyes, mouth or nose when give the chance, it merely drifts around you, allowing you to breathe and see unabated. And you can see for a great distance, the twinkling stars illuminating the ocean of space all around you. Though perhaps less dark and empty, it feels every bit as vast as the sky above. You feel like you could swim forever and never reach the edge.]
[It’s quiet, here, with little noise around you but the starry ocean’s waves crashing back into its surface. It’s peaceful. In another situation, it might even be comfortable.]

[Quest: Welcome to the Palace
The story of a palace, an explorer and the beautiful, intelligent, modest, beautiful Shadow that guided them to victory.
Shadow Nessa: I bet you didn’t expect something this detailed, did you? Well, I wasn’t about to toss you out into this place with no guidance whatsoever, what kind of an instructor do you take me for? Just follow along and you’ll learn the ropes quickly enough. ]
[Which is shortly followed by another notification....]
[Step 1: Use the NessaLink App
Open the NessaLink app on your phone and either:
[ ] Connect and send a message to other linked players with the Open Message function.
[ ] Don’t connect (you can change your mind later).
Shadow Nessa: The NessaLink app will keep you connected to the others exploring the palace. You can send messages, leave notes in useful places and share progress. Of course, if you don’t want to share the credit with anybody else for saving the day and want to monopolize all of the glory for saving the palace, you can choose to opt out. I’ll still respect you either way. I should let you know, regardless of whether or not you opt in, we’ve already sold all of your information, your finger prints, your credit cards, the rights to your likeness, etc. to third party advertisers and other interested parties.]
[....did she pre-write these or is she texting you from the same room....?]

is she. he must know. So first he shoots off a a message because of course he does.
And with that done, he moves towards theeeee... West Wing! For no apparent reason. He'd like to be cautious, but at a certain point there's nothing for it but to just go for it, so...! Into the pool with him. ]

[Which is quickly replaced with...]
[Step 2: Explore the palace.
Leave the Courtyard and head to the North, East, West or South wing of the palace.
Shadow Nessa: No, I’m not going to tell you what’s in each wing. You’re the explorer! Go explore! Figure it out for yourself! Now, shoo, get to work before I find a broom and start whacking you on the butt with it. Don’t give me that look, I do so have a broom. I’m a witch, we have all kinds of brooms on us at all times!]
[Which you're already accomplishing! Wow! How impressive! You enter the pool, which has a door at the bottom....]
