Results!
a. Let it go and continue to the next tree. Incorrect answer. As you step out toward the next tree, you feel a great shuddering. Uncertain of what's happening, you turn your gaze back toward the trunk - and see, for the first time, the breach in its bark. You bolt back toward the trunk, but too late; the branch snaps with a loud crack, and you fall with it. [Your journey is over.]
b. Follow it. Correct answer.
If you chose answer B, congratulations! You move on to the next round. If you chose answer A, well... You're not so lucky.
Onward to the next choice...
Upon following the butterfly, you reach the forest floor safely, having shimmied down the trunk and avoided putting your weight too far out on a compromised limb. You find the butterfly among many of its brethren, sipping juices from smashed papaya on the forest floor. The distribution of the papaya seems purposeful, but you’re wary about investigating. You:
Choices!
a. Keep walking. They’re beautiful, but you’ve heard some butterflies can be poisonous.
b. Watch them for awhile. They seem so peaceful.
c. Investigate! Look around for the source of the papaya.
Wait to post your answer until after the GO! post!

Results!
a. Keep walking. They’re beautiful, but you’ve heard some butterflies can be poisonous. Correct answer.
b. Watch them for awhile. They seem so peaceful. SIDE QUEST.
c. Investigate! Look around for the source of the papaya. Incorrect answer. Following a trail of orange juices, you eventually find your way to a papaya tree. Its trunk leans to the left, heavy with ripe fruit. From the fronds at the top of the tree, you hear a cackle... and look up just in time to take a papaya to the face! The dense fruit bursts, apparently overripe, and sticky juices coat your hair, your skin, your clothes... As you wipe the stinging juice from your eyes, you spot a mischievous capuchin monkey - and he's got another papaya in his hands! Turning tail, you run for the nearest stream, intent to wash this gunk off you. It will be at least another day before you leave the rainforest.
If you chose answer A, congratulations! You move on to the next round. If you chose answer C, well... You're not so lucky. However, if you chose answer B... Check out what's in store for you!
Quote: A WILD FLUTTER APPEARS! MarkingsPeleides Blue Morpho Cerynei-Flutter by elfstar89 Carrying a mango in his mouth, a Cerynei-Flutter stallion who, strangely, matches the butterflies, appears while you’re pensively watching the butterflies. Alarmed that you’re staring at his friends, he spits out the papaya and stomps his foot. All the butterflies take off, scattering. You: a. Explain yourself - you were just fascinated by them!
b. Scramble backwards, frightened of being trampled.

Onward to the next choice...
Having chosen to continue your journey, you leave the beautiful butterflies behind. Hoping to avoid the wildlife for a while, you duck under some low-hanging flora. Upon looking up again, you realize you’ve entered an environment the likes of which you’ve never seen: orchids cling to many branches around you, blooming in all directions. They sway in the breeze, all dewy with rising mist. A loud noise breaks you from your reverie, though - and you see a beast ahead! A WILD TOBI-KADACHI APPEARS! The creature appears to be guarding its well-cultivated home, and you’ve intruded right into the middle of its garden. You, who were trying to avoid the wildlife (good job...?). Unable to believe your misfortune, you’re standing there, mouth agape, when it charges! You:
Choices!
a. Stand your ground.
b. Let out a yell and try to defend yourself.
Wait to post your answer until after the GO! post!

Results!
a. Stand your ground. Incorrect answer. The creature bowls you over, and before you know what's happening, the world is black - and you lose consciousness. You wake up the next day to find that it, thankfully, hasn't deigned to eat you. Regardless, you haven't been able to keep your goal to exit the rainforest in a timely manner, so... Your journey is over.
b. Let out a yell and try to defend yourself. Correct answer.
If you chose answer B, congratulations! You move on to the next round. If you chose answer A, well... You're not so lucky. However, if you are still working on the side quest... Check out what's in store for you!
Quote: A WILD FLUTTER APPEARS!MarkingsPeleides Blue Morpho Cerynei-Flutter by elfstar89 Results!a. Explain yourself - you were just fascinated by them! Incorrect answer. The Morpho stallion understands but berates you for disturbing the butterflies. He's been caring for them his whole life - he's not a stranger to them anymore, unlike you. Well-scolded, you wander away... And realize that you have no idea from which direction you came. You wander the rainforest in circles for a few days before finding your path again. Unfortunately, it'll be quite some time before you escape. [Your journey is over.] b. Scramble backwards, frightened of being trampled. Correct answer.The Morpho stallion comes after you, but only to reassure you that he means no harm. Worried but understanding, you make a friend of him. [Roll three four-sided dice. If you roll a 2, you have a shot at taking him home!]
Rolled a 2: You stay with him in the rainforest; he shows you his way of raising butterflies.
You didn’t roll a 2: You part ways as friends, but rather than escaping the rainforest as you originally intended, you decide to make it your home. However, you and the Morpho stallion lose touch over time. Your journey has ended!
[If multiple people complete this side quest by rolling a 2, I will RNG between them to determine who takes him home. If you would like to pass on him, simply don't roll!]
Onward to the next choice...
When you yell in his face, the creature stops abruptly, tilting his head at you. Confused (who isn’t, at this point?), he asks you what you’re doing. “Trying not to get eaten!” you reply. He laughs at that. He wouldn’t - and probably couldn’t - eat you! You smell too weird to be edible. Shaking your head, you sigh and ask if you can carry on. He says you can, but then you’ll never know his secret. You:
Choices!
a. Shake your head and say you’re done with the secrets of the rainforest, then walk off.
b. Ask him what kind of secrets he could really have.
c. Ask him if his secrets have to do with all these orchids.
Wait to post your answer until after the GO! post!
[The next post will contain the info regarding our winner!]
