Part 3A - Diversions and Doorkeys!

*Aurora and Harper move forward and meet Winter in the room after dealing with the dummy.*

Winter: There's another puzzle in this room. I wonder if you can figure it out.

*Aurora looks around, not seeing a puzzle, but she shrugs it off and they start to move through the room. Just as Aurora rounds the corner, she bumps into something, and the world turns black and white.*

???: *\*You accidentally bumped into Froggit.*

Aurora: ???

*It is important to note at this point that Aurora still has no idea what monsters are at this point, since the only people she knows at this point are Harper and Winter. Aurora decides to check her act options. She can check the Froggit, complement it, threaten it, or apologize to it. It is important to note that apologizing to the Froggit will only be an option in this exact variation of the battle, since Aurora bumped into them on accident. Aurora decides to apologize in this instance.*

???: *\*You apologize to Froggit for bumping into it. They nod and look away from you shyly.*

Froggit: R- Ribbit...

*à la Toriel in the normal Undertale, Winter slides into the battle, but she has different intentions than Toriel.*

Winter: Oh! Good day Froggit! I see you've met the new kid.

*The Froggit looks up at Winter and nods meekly.*

Winter: Oh how delightful! It's nice to know the kid is making friends already!

Winter: Well, I'll leave you two to it!

*Winter slides out of the battle, leaving the Froggit and Aurora to their battle. Froggit launches some flies. Having learned well from Harper, Aurora expertly dodges the flies.*

???: *\*Froggit croaks quietly...*

*As Aurora has no violent intentions, she decides to compliment them.*

???: *\*You told Froggit that their attack pattern was very impressive. \*Froggit appears to be flustered, but a little proud of itself.*

Froggit: R- Ribbit...!

*Another attack, Aurora dodges it as expected. At this point Froggit's name is yellow, so it can be spared. Aurora does just that. Unlike the normal Undertale where it is just a normal spare and then the battle is done, there is a little dialogue before the end of the battle.*

???: *\*You give Froggit a kind smile and wave goodbye to it. It happily raises one of its feet and waves back, starting to smile.*

???: *\*YOU WON! \*You gained 0 EXP and 2 Gold.*

*The world's color returns to normal, and Aurora starts to follow Harper and Winter again, before stopping to read a sign.*

???: *\*Did you notice the floor in the first half of the room? The path on the floor is the blueprint of the other half that lies ahead.*

*Aurora goes back a bit and studies the path on the floor before running and catching up with Harper and Winter. The floor in front of them is a giant grid.*

Winter: Well, this is the puzzle. Harper and I have already memorized it, but I wonder if you can figure out the right path?

*After having studied the floor in the first half of the room, Aurora expertly moves through the path and makes it to the other side. In this puzzle if you stepped on a tile that wasn't a part of the path, you would fall through the floor and land in some water and would have to climb up a ladder to get back to the start of the puzzle. Harper and Winter will follow in suit after you make it to the other side of the puzzle.*

Winter: Well done kid! You're really good at this!

Harper: Not bad buddy, I knew you could do it!

*Moving forwards into the next room, Aurora and the others find themselves in a room full of large rocks.*

Winter: Oh boy... THIS puzzle.

Aurora: What's wrong with this puzzle?

Winter: Well, this is a sort of push block puzzle, where you need to push the rocks to form a path to get to the door.

Aurora: Oh yeah... that does sound pretty annoying.

Harper: I usually just burrow underground and skip this one.

Winter: Oh, now you're just bragging.

Aurora: I'll try to do the puzzle.

*Aurora stumbles through the puzzle and eventually sees a tiny switch. Aurora presses the switch and all of the rocks suddenly move, completing the puzzle for her.*

Winter: What the- since when was that switch there?!

Harper: No idea. I never noticed that switch either.
