The 3 Little Meals

`[Warning: the story will have different meanings in different paths, they aren't consistent if you remember information from other paths, so pretend you don't remember! Also [# ROUTE] signify what main path you chose] ` By: Shanvanth Arunmozhi Step by step, your hind paws burrow into the grass, as you can't help but be ecstatic for the joyous day ahead. The peaceful rustling of the trees and the wind in your fur only strengthens your excitement for the feast awaiting you, three delicious pieces of bacon all to satisfy your gluttony. You think back to their father's funeral, where all the many animals of the kingdom were gathered, from the Lion King Simba to a random Turtle and a Rabbit. You sat in the back, disappointed that you couldn't feast on the entire family. After the King's Speech and the distribution of their father's assets, (some building materials), you were able to sneakily devour their mother. You still remember how she tasted and you hope that your dinner inherited her delectable flavour. Finally, you're here, at their neighbourhood, so close to them that you can almost smell their mud covered bodies, like a Kinder Egg, useless on the outside, delicious on the inside. Your mouth starts drooling like a little kid yearning for his mother's milk. Then.... You stop. You think: "What if today goes wrong....." You think back to your brother who was brutally murdered by a little red human girl and a lumberjack. "What if something like that happens to me?"... You decide to play it safe & prepare a little, so what do you choose to do: * [[ Visit the travelling Ex-Genie for any tools or knowledge to help you-> Visit the Travelling Ex-Genie]] * [[ Visit their father's grave to get more information on them-> Visit their father's grave]] * [[ Visit the burnt & crippled Witch for advice tricking and hunting feastables-> Visit the crippled and burnt Witch]] * [[ Visit the Lion King Simba for advice on hunting prey-> Visit the Lion King Simba]]

`[SIMPLE ROUTE]` "Hey wass good my wolf gang" *Daps you up* You settle into his couch cushions as you think back to all the board games and video games 'the boys ' played, the little joys in life, the laughter of friends, the happiness in the air, and you wonder if you should risk it all away for some bacon. "Aladdin and his girl are hanging out at the stores or somethin, anyway what're you doing here?" You open your mouth to speak and he cuts you off ---- ---"Woah, you look scared and worried whats going on?" You explain your troubles and fears and ask him for help, he thinks for a while and looks around, and says this: "Hmm, I mean I can give you somethin on the house if you want bro, we chill like that. As a salesman I get a lot of good and weird stuff, so pick one of these: * [[ An encyclopedia on Pigs, perfect for scouting weakness in their biology and traits-> Book on Pigs]] * [[A bear trap capable of killing one giant animal or many small ones -> Bear Trap]] * [[A Tuxedo that some how fits a wolf, fit for scams and dinners-> Tuxedo]]

`[DETECTIVE ROUTE] Please read this page slowly and pay attention to every detail!` You go back to where the casket was lowered, and you notice some things are weird, the gravestone is placed off center and there's a cracked photo frame of the father thrown off to the side. Feeling a little curious, you start digging and digging to the actual casket, but for some reason the dirt above the casket seems to be denser than normal, almost as if it was specifically meant to be this way. Your curiosity is overtaking you, so you spend the entire day digging, each time your claws go in you feel closer to the truth, and the day stretches longer. Your limbs get more and more tired, and your senses dull until you realize you cant even smell any pig scent. You finally reach the casket, and it looks rusty & old, like its just some random box or a suspiciously old one. So you decide to open it, to satisfy yourself, not your gluttony but your curiosity. Right as you break it open, you come to a detective-esque conclusion with all the evidence, so what do you realize:- * [[ Noticing the following: -> Abusive Father]] 1. The casket is rusty & old 2. The cracked photo frame of the father 3. The dirt seems to be placed there solely for keeping casket in the ground 4. The gravestone seems to be placed weirdly to disrespect him * [[ Noticing the following: -> Life Insurance Scam]] 1. The casket is just some box 2. There isn't any pig scent 3. The dirt seems to be placed there solely to prevent access to the grave 4. The gravestone seems to be weird because its a sloppy job

`[MORAL ROUTE]` You go to the run down house of the kid-eating witch, and come across an invisible barrier. No matter how much you try, you can't go past it, so you decide to shout: "I come in peace! I only need some advice!" Silence. "Please, I'm not here to harm you, what use would a old and crippled witch be to me?" You feel the barrier go down and a slipper come flying at your face. You toss it aside and approach the door, then you here a voice: "Get the slipper" You do just that & she lets you in. As you observe state of the place, you wonder how she can even survive in such a despicable place. "I know why you're here, to probably hunt something or someone right?" "Yes, but I just"---- ---"Don't even, I was once a powerful Witch who ate humans upon humans, the easiest of which were kids, and 2 `b@$t@rds` named Hansel & Gretel put me in this state. So I'm telling you from experience, quit while you're ahead" "Are you sure, but they are probably depressed right now and easy to hunt, because their father died"--- ---"Listen, all you have are three options, forget about them, become friends with them, or I don't know 'pretend to be their friend or something', so pick one and leave me alone" * [[ Become real friends with the Pigs-> Real Friends with the Pigs]] * [[ Become fake friends with the Pigs -> Fake Friends with the Pigs]] * [[ Move on and forget about them-> Forget about the pigs]]

`[RESPECT ROUTE]` You shudder as you walk into the King's Court, nay the King's Domain, you don't wish to even think of disrespecting the most powerful figure in all the Land. He single-handedly killed the most fearful rulers of our time, his own uncle and father, there's nothing he isn't ready to do. As you look around, the other Lions snicker with a racist look on their faces, as if they're better than you. As you approach the King, sweat drips down from your head, but you still proceed with your goal, to ask him for advice. You explain your predicament and how as the greatest predator in all the land, you came to him for some advice. The King Simba, after listening, thinks for a while and approches you & says this: "I knew it was weird seeing you at my old friend's funeral, he was an old pal of Pumba and me. He was a great man indeed, precisely why I gave a heartfelt speech then. So you come to me telling me that you ate his wife after his death and want advice on how to eat his children?" "We are not savages. We are not like those pathetic humans who kill each other whenever they feel like it. We are respectable predators, we only eat dead, dying or criminal prey, not anything that looks 'delicious'. Since you disobey this principle in my Kindom in thought, you are a criminal. Since you are a criminal, surrounded by respectable predators, I think you know what's going to happen..." "EVERYONE! FEAST ON OUR LATEST CRIMINAL!" After that you were devoured by his majesty's subjects, but while you were being ripped apart limb from limb, you realized why they looked at you differently. They thought you to be a unrespectable predator. BAD ENDING 1/5, AND THE WORST ENDING... [[Collect All 9 Endings!!->Prologue]]

The Encylopedia gives you a few facts:- 1. Pigs don't sweat 2. Pigs have an excellent sense of smell 3. Pigs love sweet fruits 4. Pigs are extremely smart 5. Pigs hate----- You shut the book, as an idea pops into your head, as very simple bait trap, but you're pretty confident that the 4th point is definetly not true, so you go hunting. Not for bacon, but for fruits. A few hours of searching and you have berries aplenty, in fact their smell even entices you but, you hold back, so that you can feast on a dinner far tastier. You walk in a tired manner to the 3 houses, and you notice something dark, something fat moving behind you. You turn around, fast as lightning, nothing there.... Breathing a sigh of relief, you turn back around to see your berries gone and you surrounded by some sugar-powered pigs. You run for the forest, they chase you with the speed of overactive 2-year olds. Luckily you lost them, so you sigh once more.... Until you realize that you're falling off a cliff to your death. The piggies look down at you, giggling with joy as they head back to who knows where. BAD ENDING 4/5, AND THE NERDY ENDING... [[Collect All 9 Endings!!->Prologue]]

You drag the bear trap, across the ground for a few hours until you reach the 3 houses. You couldn't lift it up because it was far too heavy, even for a apex predator such as yourself. You drag it up to the back of the first house, and walk to the front. Then you huff, and puff, and blow the straw away, leaving a scared little pig and some furniture. The pig runs for its life, unfortunately, that was your plan all along. He stepped on the bear trap, so you charge at your first meal of the night. Unluckily, the pig never got stuck in it, as it was far too small, so that just left you stuck in a bear trap bleeding out to your death. The last moments of your life include, seeing the 3 brothers dancing around you and celebrating their victory. BAD ENDING 5/5, AND THE STUPID ENDING... [[Collect All 9 Endings!!->Prologue]]

You look good, you look 'fire'. You think that in an outfit like this, a lady wolf might hit you up for a drink or two. You head to the 3 houses, but right before that, you sign up with an insurance scam, so that you have something to advertise. You knock on the first door, and the pig doesn't even recognize you. You think to yourself about this being the best choice of your life. As you start to speak about the scam, the pig mesmerized by your outfit, immediately signs up. You're a little confused as you weren't really expecting the scam to work, you were planning to swallow him after he rejected the scam. Admist the signing of papers you get an idea: What if scamming is your strong suit? You spend the rest of your life scamming every corner of the animal kingdom and get rich from comissions. Throughout the land, they know you as the 'Dapper Wolf'. GOOD ENDING 4/4, AND THE COOL ENDING... [[Collect All 9 Endings!!->Prologue]]

You were right, the casket contains the body of a mutilated pig, not one that died from old age or sickness. You notice scars everywhere, like its been mauled to death by multiple animals at once, not for food but for revenge. It all make sense now. He abused them, so much so that they couldn't bear living like this any longer, so they worked together and slaughtered him. You think back to when you ate the mother, she wasn't that sad until you smiled, that's when she knew her fate would be sealed. You grab the cracked photo frame and head straight to the first pig's door. The house made of straw stands tall but you don't blow or break it down, instead you ring the door bell. The first pig opens the door and shudders in predator-prey fear, until he sees the cracked photo frame. Emotionless. Courage? Bravery? You can't read his new face. "BROTHERS! SOMEONE LIKE FATHER IS HERE!" A scream so loud your ears felt as if they were shattered with the echo in the sky. The other pigs arrived, in fear of you until they saw the photo frame. Unreadable. Their faces became unreadable too. The first pig turns to them and says "Do we want to get treated the way father treated us again?" "NO" they screamed like soldiers in unison. "Then we must get rid of him once more" Then they overpowered you and started to tear you apart, with unimaginable strength one only gets from pure adrenaline. As your eyeballs are ripped out of your skull, you realize that their faces weren't filled with bravery or experience, they just had nothing to lose & no more patience. BAD ENDING 2/5, AND THE REAL & TRUE ENDING.. [[Collect All 9 Endings!!->Prologue]]

You were right, the casket doesn't have a pig in it, just some rocks for weight. You notice the sloppy work on the sides of the 'casket' to make it look like the real thing. It all make sense now. He faked his death with the help of his family, to transfer assets without paying taxes which is highly illegal. Suddenly you don't feel hungry for bacon anymore, you feel hungry for justice. JUSTICE. Filled with the spirit of animal kingdom justice you go the 3 houses but you stop and realize that those new houses are probably for sale to cover up their money laundering tracks, either way, they won't be there, which means they're probably in the only other property they own. After walking for hours, you reach it, you reach the old 'abandoned' house of the pig family. You walk barge through the old termite covered door to see 4 pigs crying over a photo of their mother and wife. "WHAT! WHY ARE YOU HERE? TO EAT US TOO?" "To give you 4 some good old fashion ~~American~~ Animal Kingdom Justice!" After devouring the rest of the family, you reported them for tax evasion to Lion King Simba's advisor Rafiki the wise baboon and got a pretty good reward, the brick house all to yourself. You got a great dinner and a property, seems like you won in life. GOOD ENDING 1/4, AND THE REAL-ish ENDING.. [[Collect All 9 Endings!!->Prologue]]

You walk out and reflect on what you did, you killed their mother, one who was mourning the loss of her husband. You orphaned them, the least you could do is make it up to them, right? With this in mind, you head to the 3 houses, and prepare a heartfelt apology for what you did. With every step, your heart hurts, not physically, but emotionally, the guilt is overwhelming you. You go up to the first house, and knock on the door, the first pig answers, and immediately turns to stone with fear. You apologize for the horrible thing you did to his mother, and tell him that you'll ask the other brothers for forgiveness as well just as soon as he forgives you. He's still petrified and doesn't say a word, so you fall to his feet and beg for forgiveness. *SLICE* A butcher's knife falls on your head, slicing it clean off. In your final moments of consciousness, you see a scared little pig holding a knife half as big as him. You laugh at the double irony of the situation, the hunter being hunted when he stopped hunting, and by the same weapon that hunts the prey..... BAD ENDING 3/5, AND THE HUNTED ENDING... [[Collect All 9 Endings!!->Prologue]]

You walk out a changed man, and hope that you never come across such a situation again, you go back to your day to day life, eating dead & dying things. Until you come across the same 3 houses again. Once again you're faced with the same choice, hunt or value your life? Just as you choose to value it again, one of the Pigs looks at you, with a confusion on his face, as if he doesn't know whether to be scared or suspicious. Both of you lock eyes for a brief moment, and for just one second you both seem to acknowledge the other as an aquaintance. Then, you continue on living you normal boring life as a no risk taking wolf. GOOD ENDING 3/4, AND THE VERY AVOIDABLE ENDING... [[Collect All 9 Endings!!->Prologue]]

You walk out, ready perform the best friendship act the world has ever seen. As you walk to the 3 houses, you giggle with excitement, not only for the feast awaiting you but also for the performance of a lifetime done by yours truly. You knock on the first house made of straw, and introduce yourself, putting an friendly face and ask for a truce. The first pig agrees, and takes off his costume???? The other brothers come out of their houses and do the same?? They're all wolves. Not just any wolves, wolves who are die-hard fans of your brother, the one that got brutally murdered by the lumberjack and the little red human girl. They recognize you, and ask for your autograph and explain what they did. Turns out, they replicated your brothers plan, by dressing up as fellow pigs and ate each of the 3 brothers. Well, now you got a fan club, and you spend the rest of your days swindling prey that are too stupid to realize that what's infront of them is a wolf dressed up as their friend.
