## Dialogue

> [Lily standing outside in front of her house.]**Lily**MOM?
> Unbelievable...inconsiderate...noisy--[Looking at the porch swing.]**Lily**MOTHER!!
> Huh...Porch swing's empty...
> Silverflame's gone...
> All is peaceful and quiet...[Luke walks up.]**Luke**Mornin'--**Lily**Gahhhh!
> Luke!! My mom's gone! She took the Silverflame and left!! She's REALLY out of here!! And all because of you!
> Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

#### Talk To Luke

> [Lily standing outside in front of her house.]**Lily**So, now the Silverflame is done...Whatcha up to today?**Luke**I was thinkin' you might need a hand with that...maze...place?**Lily**Awesome--you, me and some manual labor. Just like in the good old days...**Luke**Yeah...We had some fun times, didn't we...**Lily**We sure did...building a gazebo together...**Luke**...finding a real fallout shelter...**Lily**...you rescuing me from the rosebushes...**Luke**...**Lily**...**Roxy**Borfborfborf!**Luke**All right, girl. We'll get a move on!

#### Repair Walls

> [In the maze.]**Luke**Not your average California backyard...**Lily**Nah...Very 2000 years ago...
> Apparently, the Order's sacred temple is hidden somewhere around here.
> We found the key to open it...All we need now, is a matching keyhole...**Luke**Guess that means we're looking for a door??**Lily**Kinda...Probably a little less obvious than your standard front gate...**Luke**I'm sure if we keep fixing things up, we'll come across it sooner or later.**Lily**Start with the walls?

*Player chooses between 3 designs.*

> **Lily**Keyhole-less...but wallicious![Whitney shows up.]**Whitney**Hey guys! I found some interesting deets in those archive papers!**Lily**Whitney! We were just about to start on those torches...

#### Replace Torches

> [At the top of the stairs to the maze]**Whitney**Why clean up the torches? They'll get all sooty again in no time.**Lily**I'd actually like to replace them...And maybe we'll plant some flowers in them later?

*Player chooses between 3 designs.*

> **Lily**Torchtastic! I'm sure Mr. Lawrence will agree!**Luke**Lawrence...is that the guy from the Order?**Whitney**That's what HE says...Very dubious character, if you ask me.**Lily**Oh, come on, Whit. He's a little odd, but he's willing to help!**Whitney**I don't know, Lily. Regina and I discussed it last night. We think he can't be trusted.**Lily**The two of you...discussed it? Without me?**Whitney**Yeah...**Lily**Ahem. Where is Regina, anyway?**Whitney**Off to pick up the rest of her things. Her ex has found a buyer for their house.**Lily**Oh. Why didn't she tell me? I would've helped...**Luke**Guess she knew you had a bazillion things to do around here...

#### Talk To Whitney

> [At the maze]**Lily**So, what did you find out about Giovanni LaRosa?**Whitney**I worked my way through pages and pages of boring stuff, and then--
> BAM!!**Luke**Your head hit the desk??**Whitney**No...I found an article--on Giovanni's MURDER!!**Lily**What??[Whitney pulls out an old black and white photo of Giovanni and two other people.]

> **Whitney**It says, he was shot dead at point-blank range!
> Nobody was ever charged...But people speculated it was the MAFIA!!**Lily**Wait...Giovanni was SHOT? By the MOB?? Do you believe that?**Whitney**Looks like they hated him, because he spoke up for the prohibition movement.
> And if Giovanni was really fighting corruption with the Order of the Ascending Eye...
> He would have been a huge thorn in the mob's side!
> And what do you do when a thorn starts bugging you too much?**Lily**You pull it out...and shoot it at point-blank range...

Transition Dialogue

> [Mr. Lawrence arrives]**Mr. Lawrence**How do you do, Miss Roberts?**Lily**Mr. Lawrence! I didn't expect you this early!**Mr. Lawrence**I always say: the early bird...escapes the magpie.**Lily**Uhm...okay...
> Anywho...We're making progress! So far no keyhole, though...**Mr. Lawrence**I see...And who is your friend here?

#### Introduce Mr. Lawrence

> [At the top of the stairs to the maze]**Lily**Mr. Lawrence, meet my neighbor, Luke Lorenzo.
> Luke, this is Mr. Lawrence.**Luke**Dude! It's good to meet you. The girls have been going on about you and this order of yours--**Mr. Lawrence**Is that so...**Luke**Yeah...they told me 'bout that temple you lost--**Mr. Lawrence**People talk too much...
> Miss Roberts, I brought the book...the only known document to describe the Grand Temple in minute detail--**Whitney**Oooooh, I've GOT to see this!!**Mr. Lawrence**NO!!
> Under NO circumstances may an uninitiated person gaze upon these pages!!
> They're secret! They're...SACRED!!**Whitney**But...but...if they contain crucial information??**Lily**Whit, I'm sure Mr. Lawrence will share the important stuff with us?
> Back to work now. Luke, could you get started on the floors? Whit and I can have a go at these walls.

#### Repair Walls

> [At the maze]**Whitney**How are we gonna tell the keyhole from all the cracks and dents?**Lily**By working with focus, care and dedication!**Whitney**Fine...

*Player chooses between 3 designs.*

> **Lily**No keyhole, but still walltastic!**Whitney**There MUST be something about the location of the keyhole in that book!
> Mr. Lawrence, why can't I just have a little peek?**Mr. Lawrence**Uhm...the information is...fragmented...a puzzle, that needs to be solved--**Whitney**I'm GREAT with puzzles! At 14, I came in fourth in the World Puzzle Championship in Slovakia--**Lily**Whit! I'm sure Mr. Lawrence will tell us everything he can figure out.**Mr. Lawrence**Thanks, Miss Roberts, I surely will.**Whitney**Fine!**Lily**Good! Now, can I leave you in charge of these basins for a moment?**Whitney**Fine.

#### Fix Floor

> [At the maze]**Lily**How's it going over here?**Luke**No keyhole...But I'm ready to rip out this floor...and put in some nice new tiles.**Lily**Wanna do it together?**Luke**Heehee...**Lily**DO the FLOORS! Seriously...

*Player chooses between 3 designs.*

> **Lily**Floorriffic! Great teamwork!
> Better than those two over there...Not sure leaving them alone is such a good idea...**Luke**They're both grown-ups... You worry too much, Lils!**Lily**How do YOU worry so LITTLE? Most of the time you seem completely unfazed...**Luke**I just...think about the tiles while I'm tilin'...and about the walls while I'm...wallin'...
> Rachel calls it mindfulness. I just think it makes good sense.**Lily**Sounds good to me...
> So...why don't you start THINKING about floor decorations...while I go and THINK about those two?

#### Fix Basins

> [At the maze]**Whitney**In charge of the basins...What does that even mean?
> A little help here, Mr. Lawrence?**Mr. Lawrence**Uhm...I'm busy...with an interesting passage in the book...**Whitney**Fine. I'll fix these things up on my own...
> NO WAY!! THE KEYHOLE!!**Mr. Lawrence**WHAT?? You FOUND it??[Lily comes in hurry]**Lily**You FOUND the keyhole, Whit??**Whitney**Nah. Just kidding...**Mr. Lawrence**The impertinence...This is no joking matter, Miss Wells![Mr. Lawrence walks away]**Lily**Whit! I'll give you a hand with the basins, but you've GOT to behave with Mr. Lawrence!**Whitney**Fine.

*Player chooses between 3 designs.*

> **Whitney**No keyhole.**Lily**No. But don't the basins look lovely?

#### Fix Floor Decorations

> [At the maze]**Luke**Hmm. How would Lily like this...Playful...or geometric?**Roxy**Borf!**Luke**Ah, what the heck, I'll just roll with it and see what happens!

*Player chooses between 3 designs.*

Player chooses between another 3 designs.

> **Luke**Floor...tastic?**Lily**Did you just make a PUN?**Luke**Gaaah!**Lily**Did I just make you JUMP??**Luke**Uhm...maybe a little...**Lily**What the heck is going on here...?**Luke**Dunno...
> Guess working with you makes me a little bit...Lily...

Transition Dialogue

> [At the maze]**Lily**Good work, everyone!
> Whit, how 'bout you're on flower duty with Luke now?
> And Mr. Lawrence, do you mind keeping me company while I plant some bushes?
> Perfect! Let's get--
> \*buzz buzz\****Lily****Ooops, pocket buzzing...*

#### Answer Phone

> [At the maze Lily answers the phone]**Samir**Lily! How are you holding up?**Lily**Sam! So sweet of you to call. I'm doing just fine.**Samir**You don't have to put on a brave face. I know what it's like to feel powerless--**Lily**Powerless? Far from it, Sam!
> I've taken matters into my own hands. I think I found a way to beat Leonard Ricci at his own game...**Samir**What? How...?**Lily**Whitney would kill me if I told you over the phone...Why don't you come over??**Samir**All right...I'll be there tomorrow morning.
> One more thing: your mother is asking for gas money?**Lily**Oh...uhm...Give her enough to keep the car running--24/7!**Samir**Okay...I shall do that. See you tomorrow!
> \*click\*[The call ends]**Lily**All right. Back to business!

#### Plant Bushes

> [At the maze]**Lily**I'll just take care of that undergrowth beyond the walls...Back in a jiffy.[Lily starts trimming trees]

*A while later...*

> **Lily**Ah. Much better.
> Mr. Lawrence...I get that you can't just spill all of the Order's secrets.
> But...is there anything you CAN share?**Mr. Lawrence**It's a complex society...with a layered system of belief's and values...**Lily**How about just the basic idea behind it all?**Mr. Lawrence**Hmm...I'll try to break it down for you...
> We believe, that creating harmony in our immediate surroundings will reverberate internally and externally.**Lily**Uhm...?**Mr. Lawrence**Basically: harmony AROUND you will create spiritual balance WITHIN you. AND in the entire universe.
> That's why we strive for an equilibrium between the elements of nature.**Lily**Like...in a zen garden?**Mr. Lawrence**Kind of. But that's only one way to approach something much bigger.**Lily**Well, if it's about harmony in our surroundings...those weeds will have to go!!

#### Plant Flowerbeds

> [At the maze]**Luke**So...Do you know your way around flowers, Whitney?**Whitney**You mean...their binomial nomenclature or their pharmacological effects?**Luke**Uhm...not exactly...More like...planting them?**Whitney**Blossoms up, roots in the earth?**Luke**Let's try that...

*Player chooses between 3 designs.*

> **Luke**Looks about right...Actually, quite planttas--**Whitney**Did Lily say anything?**Luke**Huh? 'Bout what?**Whitney**About me. Why does she not want me talking to Mr. Lawrence?**Luke**Uhm...I guess she's just worried 'bout savin' the estate. Nothin' personal.**Whitney**That's exactly what I want: to save the estate!
> But I'm quite sure, Mr. Lawrence is no savior--he's a complication!

#### Clear Weeds

> [At the maze]**Lily**Creating universal harmony--one weed at a time!

*Some weeds later*

> **Lily**I feel so much more balanced already!
> What do you think, Mr. Lawrence? Close to an equibrili...ebriquilli...--harmony?**Mr. Lawrence**Miss Roberts...Where do these stairs lead??**Lily**Oh! Uhm...I don't know. I've never been further out this way...
> That's so exciting! Something to explore tomorrow!**Mr. Lawrence**Exciting indeed...**Lily**Uh! Do you think they might lead to the GRAND TEMPLE??**Mr. Lawrence**Possibly. The book is not very clear on the exact location.
> I was sure it would be here by the maze... But it looks like I misunderstood.**Lily**Yeah. We searched every inch--no keyhole in the maze.

#### Add Basin Plants

> [At the maze]**Luke**You think Lawrence is working AGAINST Lily??**Whitney**Shhh! I'm not sure. But he's definitely not telling us all there is to know.
> Let's keep planting so we don't look suspicious.

*Player chooses between 3 designs.*

> **Whitney**That should do. Or, as Lily would say: flowerrif--**Luke**You think, Lawrence is dangerous? Would he do anything to Lily??**Whitney**I don't know. But I don't trust him one bit. I'm gonna keep an eye on him at all times.**Luke**And on her!**Whitney**I guess that could be YOUR job?**Luke**Well...twist my arm...

Transition Dialogue

> [At the maze]**Luke**Hey guys! How's it goin' over here?**Lily**Great! We just stumbled upon these stairs...**Whitney**Awesome! Why don't we fix them up--TOGETHER?**Lily**Uhm...maybe the TWO OF YOU could plant some more flowers, while Mr. Lawrence and I--**Luke**Nah, we're done flowerin'. Happy to help you out, Lils.**Lily**Uhm...all right...twist my arm...

#### Repair Stairs

> [At the maze]**Luke**Stair fixin' time! Lils, you with me?**Lily**Sure. Whit...lend a hand?**Whitney**Fine.

*Player chooses between 3 designs.*

> **Luke**Solid work! Where d'you think the stairs lead?**Lily**I dunno. We were thinking...maybe the Grand Temple?**Whitney**What does the book say, Mr. Lawrence? We could really do with some clues here.**Mr. Lawrence**Uhm...There's mention of a labyrinth. That's why I thought the entrance would be by the maze.
> But it also speaks of lofty heights, the moon and star constellations.**Luke**That's a headscratcher.**Lily**I'm sure we'll solve the mystery tomorrow.
> For now let's put some finishing touches to the stairs and then start wrapping up.

#### Repair Pillars

> [At the maze]**Luke**Lily, why don't the two of us fix the pillars?**Lily**Uhm. I was thinking...Whitney could help?**Whitney**Sure. Mr. Lawrence, wanna join us for a bit?**Mr. Lawrence**I'll keep reading over here, thank you, Miss Wells.**Lily**Whitney, I told you not to bother him!**Whitney**That guy is hiding something! And he knows I know...
> And now he knows YOU know he knows I know**Luke**I don't know anything, Lils--but please be careful around that dude?**Lily**You guys! I'll be fine! Mr. Lawrence is harmless!
> Can we PLEASE fix these pillars now?

*Player chooses between 3 designs.*

> **Lily**Pillarriffic!
> You all right there, Whitney?**Whitney**Hmmmmmmm...I'll call Mr. Lawrence on his bluff. You just wait and see...

#### Plant Flowerbeds

> [At the maze]**Lily**A couple of flowers, and we're kinda done here! Luke? Whit?**Luke**Right by your side, Lils!**Whitney**Fine.

*Player chooses between 3 designs.*

> **Lily**Flowertastic!
> Mr. Lawrence was telling me about the philosophy of the Order. About equibril...erquibi--
> Mr. Lawrence, could you explain it again?**Mr. Lawrence**Ahem. Yes. We believe that creating harmony around us leads to personal and universal balance.**Whitney**Ah! That's where the fight against corruption comes in!**Lily**Huh? Where'd you get THAT from?**Whitney**Well...Corruption causes an unfair advantage for some and suffering for others.
> That's anything BUT harmony.
> So I guess, the order would fight corruption to restore harmony and balance?**Mr. Lawrence**If you know the answers, Miss Wells...--why do you ask so many questions?

Transition Dialogue

> [At the obelisk]**Mr. Lawrence**The maze looks good, Miss Roberts. The Order appreciates your efforts.
> But the entrance to the Grand Temple is still amiss.**Lily**Yeah...The stairs we discovered seem promising, though...
> I'm positive we'll find it tomorrow.
> I say, let's decorate those torches with some flowers and call it a day!

#### Place Flowers

> [At the maze]**Lily**Let's turn these fire bowls into flower bowls!

*A little while later...*

> [The torches are now filled with flowers.]**Lily**Unusual, but I like it!**Whitney**Oh, look! There's an inscription on the obelisk!**Lily**But, Whit...we saw that yester--**Whitney**IGNIS--I wonder if that was someone important?**Lily**Whitney, what is--**Whitney**AHEM. Mr. Lawrence? Ever heard of this IGNIS person?**Mr. Lawrence**Yes, I have heard of IGNIS...
> It's not a person though. It's the Latin word for fire!**Whitney**Ugh. So there ARE some useful things in that book of yours...**Lily**Enough! Whitney, I've had it--**Whitney**GUYS! IGNIS!! Maybe fire's important here...Maybe fire would lead us to the entrance of the Temple...**Mr. Lawrence**You're right, Miss Wells! We HAVE to light the torches!!

#### Light Torches

> [At the maze][It's now dark out. Dusk.]**Lily**Not sure open fires are such a good idea in California...**Luke**Ah, we're close to lots of AQUA in case things get out of hand...
> Let's light these guys up!![Everyone lights the torches]**Luke**This is AWESOME!!**Lily**Yeah...And kinda...romantic...**Mr. Lawrence**But...nothing's happening!
> Maybe we didn't light the torches in the correct order.**Whitney**Seriously?**Mr. Lawrence**There must be something about these torches in the book!**Whitney**Maybe we could find out, if you SHOWED IT TO US ALREADY!!

#### Say Goodbye

> [At the maze]**Mr. Lawrence**I have to leave now, Miss Roberts.
> I hope you'll find the Grand Temple tomorrow. The clock is ticking.**Lily**Yeah...we'll do our best...**Whitney**It'd be easier to beat the clock, if you'd just show me that book--**Mr. Lawrence**Goodbye, Miss Roberts. Mr. Lorenzo...Miss Wells...[Mr. Lawrence leaves.]**Whitney**Ugh. I need to clear my head.
> Bucket of curly fries and ten episodes Purple is the New Pink...See you tomorrow.[Whitney leaves.]**Luke**That dude really pushes her buttons, huh? And I gotta say, he IS a little shady...**Lily**He's here to help, Luke. He gives me hope. And I'm grateful for that.
> But now I gotta run. See if Regina needs me after the day she must've had...**Luke**You're a good friend, Lils. See you in the morning!**Lily**Good night, neighbor![Lily walks away leaving Luke and Roxy standing in the maze alone.]

#### Start New Day

> [Lily is sitting on the porch swing in front of her house.][Regina walks up.]**Regina**Hey, Lils. Why are you still up?[Lily gets up off the porch swing.]**Lily**Waiting for you, silly. How are you?**Regina**Ugh. Tough day.**Lily**Yeah...Whitney told me you found a buyer for your house...**Regina**My ex did. And I'm grateful he took care of it, but...
> I loved that house. I renovated every nook and cranny in that place...**Lily**Why don't you keep it? You could still live there...without him?**Regina**Nah. It was OUR house. The relationship is over. I need to move on.**Lily**I understand. Well, you have a home here for as long as...I still own this place...
> And if worse comes to worst, we'll both just crash in Whitney's motel room...**Regina**Where IS Whit, by the way?**Lily**She was a little...on edge about Mr. Lawrence. Guess she went back to the motel for some alone time.
> She said something about fast food and...pink and purple?**Regina**Haha, yeah...Purple is the new Pink. She LOVES that show...
