Welcome back to Paper Pony! It's been awhile since the last thread, but not a lot has happened, so don't worry, you can catch up quite easily! Here's all that's happened to you so far:
>You are Papermint Patty, or 'Origami' as most ponies call you
>And you were having a nice nap
>Then your lovable but mouthy little brother barged in to your room to ask you to take him to the park
>Being the good sister you are, you eventually agreed
>But when you went outside, there was no little brother
>Just a dog
>Focusing on your task, you ignored the cuddly canine and went in search of your brother
>He was being harassed by bullies!
>You got into a fight with them and sent them packing, learning the basics of combat and also earning some bits and Star Points
>With the danger quelled, you and your brother were off to the park
>He wanted to play a game
>Which game?
>He hasn't decided yet
>In the meantime, he asks you to get some ice cream
>Via riddle
>Well, cleverness like that must be rewarded!
>But this line is really long...

What will you do now?
>>26950333
Use jump attack to bypass line.
>>26950333
Tell the person in front of you that their house is on fire so they leave to put it out. Repeat until no one is left in line.
>>26950333
Wait patiently in line until it's your turn, because societal norms are worth following.
>>26950333
BURN THE INFIDEL
>>26950367
This.
>>26950367
No they aren't.
>>26950143
WERE BACK BAYBEE THE QUEST OF OP DELIVERING KIND OF LATEI missed you opWe waited too long for ice cream!BRING IN THE PAPERMINT!
>>26950550
It's a different OP anon.
The quest was adopted by another OP, who is unfortunately a serial killer. Best leave while you can, or else she might try to give you a heart attack with cute pictures.
>>26950589
I knew we should have hit the power button.

>Papermint grumpily sorts a little puff of paper smoke.
'I feel like I've been standing here for a month and a half!'
>The pink paper pony briefly considers fighting her way through the line.
>Luckily, the line is full of NPC's and not enemies, so she can't engage in combat with them!
'Stupid in-game restrictions!'
>Luckily, the line finally starts to move.
>It looks like a big fat pony up front had been taking her sweet time making her selections.
>All 14 of them.
>With her out of the way, the ponies on line start moving like berry juice out of an uncorked bottle
'I should think about what I want...
And also for my little bro... What was his name again? It's so hot, I can barely think...'

>Papermint wracks her brain for a few seconds.
'Papermint... mint... Oh, right! He's a Mint, just like me and Mom. His name is Sweet Mint.
He tries to make himself sound tougher by calling himself Sweet Mint Belmont after a monster hunter from one of his silly games.
Too bad he gets too far into it and picks fights, like he did before... The little dickens.'
>The last pony in front of Papermint finally moves off the line with her purchase
>Ice cream at last!
>"Good afternoon, Miss!" the ice cream vendor says cheerfully. "It's a scorcher today, isn't it? Great weather for Two Scoops' homemade ice cream!"
"Uh-huh. Can I have two mint chip cones, please?"
>"You certainly can!" the vendor answers cheerfully
>Two Scoops (You guess that's his name, anyway.) quickly fills Papermint's order.
>Is this acceptable?
>>26951656
kay
>>26951656
Yeah sure whatever.
>>26951656
Back to little bro!
>>26951668

>Bits: 22
>Two MINT CHIP CONES added to your inventory!
>"Thanks a ton!" Two Scoops says, uttering a small sigh of relief. "And thanks even more for ordering THAT flavor! You, ah, kinda really helped me out there."
>>26952052
No prob mate.
Head home.
>>26952052
Wh- What's so special about this flavour?
>>26952075
Maybe they're just trying to get rid of it cause they have an excess of it. Idk for sure though.
>>26952052
>"And thanks even more for ordering THAT flavor! You, ah, kinda really helped me out there
Examine ice cream, that was suspicious.
>>26952075
>>26952084
>>26952121
>Papermint regards her ice cream cones with suspicion.
"Why's this flavor so special?"
>"Oh, no no!" the vendor quickly starts waving his front hooves, trying to keep his customer from panicking. "Nothing's wrong with it or anything. It's just that I'm sort of... running low on other flavors."
>He opens his cart for Papermint to look inside of
>There's enough room for 20, maybe 30 big cardboard buckets of ice cream
>But there are only 4 inside
"All you've got left are mint chip, strawberry, moose tracks, and rum raisin...?"
>The vendor nods sadly
>"I'm afraid so, Miss." he answers. "Like I said, it's been quite hot out lately, and I've been getting a ton of customers. Which is great! I'm not complaining about the extra work at all! But the train that brings me my weekly shipments hasn't come in yet. I've had to use up all my reserve ice cream just to last this long; at the rate I'm getting customers, I won't last another day!"
Two Scoops sadly looks down at his cart.
>>26952286
Well, sucks to be you.
>>26952286
Well I bet you're making a ton of profit. Good luck with the business!
>>26952286

>Papermint remembers she's in an RPG and happily accepts this sidequest.
"Maybe I can help you."
>Two Scoops looks up at her, his eyes twinkling with hope.
>"You can? Really?" he asks.
"Really really!"
Two Scoops' face lights up and he does that little spin-in-place dance that paper poners are known for.
>"Wow-wow!" he exclaims. "That'd be fantastic, Miss!"
"So what should I do?"
>"Well, as I'm sure you know, the train station is at the southern edge of town." Two Scoops explains. "I'm no detective, but I'd start by checking out down there. You know where it is, right?"
"Ummmm..."
>"Actually, hold on." Two Scoops interrupts.
>He removes a piece of paper from his inventory and offers it to Papermint.
>"Here's a map of the town." he says. "This is what we in the ice cream vending business call a Key Item. They don't count as regular Items, so you can carry as many of them as you need! Neat, huh? And it gets better: This map will let you go anywhere in town without having to wander around trying to find it! So you can just pick out a destination and POOF, you're off! It's quite a time-saver, if I do say so myself."
>>26953050
To the train station!
>>26953050
Can we POOF into the bank's bit safe?
>>26953064
what about our brother?
>>26953086
Main quest can wait for sidequests
>>26953090
Honestly what kinda weirdo doesn't do side quests first?
>>26953086
Its an RPG so he won't budgemaybe
>>26953090
All seriousness though, deliver ice cream before sidequests.
>>26953090
but what if we can't do the side quest because theres a roadblock forcing us to continue the main quest

>Papermint got the TOWN MAP!
"Thanks a lot, Two Scoops. I'll deliver this to my brother and then head right to the train station."
>"Thanks, Miss... um..."
"Papermint Patty, but my friends call me Origami."
>"You're a lifesaver, Origami." the vendor says, looking and sounding much happier now. "I'll be here waiting for the good news!"
>It looks like this conversation tree has ended
'Ice cream time!'
>Papermint Patty returns to where she left her little brother to do his thinking
>But as she crosses the bridge, she realizes something is missing from the park entrance...
"Sweet Mint?"
>>26953571
Ask old fisherpone if he knows where he went.
>>26953629
'Okay, Papermint, don't panic.
There's a lot of ponies in the park.
Somepony has to have seen him.'
>The pink paper mare spots an older stallion fishing along the riverbank near where she last saw her brother
'This old geezer will have to do.'
"Excuse me, have you seen my brother around here?"
>The old pony doesn't budge.
"Uh, sir? Hello? Can you hear me?"
>Again, he doesn't move
>"You talkin' ta me?" he asks
>His eyes are still trained on the river
>Or they would be, if they were open
"Yes. I'm looking for my brother. Deep orange colt, off-white mane, about this tall. Have you seen him?"
>"Ah see lotsa things." the geezer replies.
"...Okay, but have you seen HIM?"
>"Nope."
>Great
>"'Course, Ah only bin lookin' out at this river all day, so iff'n he ain't passed in front of ma field-er'-view, it makes sense that Ah wouldn't-a seen him."
>Papermint Patty tilts her head
"Well, what's that supposed to mean?"
>"That there's a puzzle, little lady!" the fisherstallion answers, casting his line back out once again. "Us NPC's have heaps a' them. They're our own little way a' bein' helpful without outraht tellin' ya the answer. No pony lahks bein' railroaded inta goin' raht ta Point A, B, or C, y'know."
'What's this coot going on about...?'
>>26953961
Did you see his reflection in the river?

Whatever.
Throw the whole thing out the window and never play it again.
>>26954050Stopping forI don't know how long. Thanks for playing!
>>26950143
As the original, I'm going to allow this. Seeing how my shit is still fucked up.
In the case that the random name generator is still up
-Juicy
>>26954062
Goodbye...
>>26954097
You're still here? I thought you might have cut and run like most new QM's... Now I feel kind of awkward.
Again, sorry if I messed anything up. I just love the Paper Mario series so much, and seeing it get pitched and then never happen, and then you started yours and it died, was agonizing. So it was an obvious choice to run for April Fool's.Please come back.Or don't, so I can keep doing it :^).
>>26954209
Seeing how some Anons have ACTUALLY been waiting for a long time for the show to continue, I'll allow ya to take the wheel. I'll just stop/give you small hints/pointers for plot/major events in CYOA discussionwhen you reach a certain point.
Also you didn't mess up anything either.Yet.
But feel free to continue if you wish.
-Juicy

>>26962366
Good paper is happy paper.
>>26953984Just noticed this was here. My bad.
"Did you see his reflection in the river?"
>The old pony pauses
>"Well, no, Ah can't say Ah have." he responds.
>It doesn't look like this old stallion has much else to say right now
>>26962938
So our brother went to the left! Let's go.
>>26962957
This.
>>26962938
To the left! To the left!
>>26962957
>>26963433
>>26963576
>Would you like to wander blindly or refine your search?
>>26963730
Wander blindly and hope for the best.
>>26963730
>Wander blindly
>Explore the hood
>Battle more enemies
>Level up
>>26963730
How about the place north of the train station.
>>26963730
We goin blind.
>>26963730
Wander with your eyes open would be preferable.
To the left!
>>26963759
>>26963775
>>26963776
>>26963857
>Papermint goes back into town
>Worrying for her brother's safety, she returns to the alleys north of the train station
>Just in case
>The alley is now empty, both of her brother and of any potential hoodlums in need of a good head-knocking
>>26964159
Get the green thing behind the brown thing.
>>26964159
What's behind the boxes?
>>26964159
Hmmm, what's that behind those crates?
>>26964159
read the old notes its a clue to something
>>26964192
>>26964193
>>26964195
>As she inspects the alleyway, a glint catches Papermint's eye
>She peeks behind the crateshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waWobSl33J0
'Oooh, how pretty!'
>Papermint has never seen a gem like this!
>It's so smooth and shiny
>It must be worth a lot!
>Papermint got a MYSTERIOUS GEM!
>>26964346
Great! I guess.
Have we checked the park for our brother yet?
>>26964346
That's a CHAOS EMERALD.
>>26964470
yes we had check and he was not there.
let read those notes on the wall
>>26964346
What about the crack on the wall over there?
>>26964569
This. Hidden room/area?
>>26964495All similarities are purely coincidental and cannot be proven otherwise in a court of law.
>>26964569
>>26964796
>At the end of the alley is a brick wall
'I can't get past this.'
>But wait!
>The wall is rather worn and cracked
'Okay I can get past this.
But not now. I'd need to hit it with something really strong.
And I don't have anything like that.'
>>26964914
Kick/buck. It may hurt but YOLO
>>26964914
Read notes on wall.
>>26964977
>Okay I can get past this.
>But not now. I'd need to hit it with something really strong.
>And I don't have anything like that.
>>26964914
suck our hooves aren't strong so let read the notes
>>26965014
>>26965027
>One of these notes has been scribbled on!
'"Sis let's play hide and seek.
You're it!
Come find me!
I'm somewhere between the park and the train station!
Don't take too long!
~Sweet Mint Belmount."
>>26951144
>>26965216
>Sweet Mint Belmount
Holy shit.
>>26965216
welp time to find our brother
>>26965216
Let's go check out the train station. If he's not there we can check on Scoop's problem and head back to continue our search.
>>26965216
What are the places between the park and the train station?
>>26965264
>>26965291
>>26965301
>Her trusty map in hoof, Papermint makes her way along the southern street
>There's luckily not a lot between the train station and the park
>Probably why Sweet Mint picked it as a boundary
'I guess those two punks scared a little sense into him, at least.'
>A short jaunt later, and Papermint arrives at the train station
>There's a problem here
>And it's quite plain to see
>>26966399
How is that debris stopping the train from being unloaded? Ask that pony what's going on and how we can help.
>>26966399
See if the blockage is edible before anything else.
>>26966643
why would we eat the blockage thats dumb it's not made of candy
>>26966496
>Papermint tries talking to the conductor
"Hey, what's going on?"
>"I'm sorry, ma'am." the stallion replies. "None of the trains are running right now because of the backup."
"Backup?"
>"Look for yourself."
>He gestures to the massive pile of straw, wood, and plaster lying in the middle of the track
>"The train hasn't been able to move for hours because of this mess!"
>Papermint squints at the huge pile of detritus.
"What is all this stuff?"
>"Building materials!"
>What?
>"Craziest thing I've ever seen!" he continues. "It was like a house just fell out of the sky! I've seen plenty of trains held up before, but never by something like this! We're trying to clear it as fast as we can, but we don't know how long it's going to take. Like I said, I've never seen anything like this before!"
>>26966681
How can we help?
>>26966729
Yeah! Maybe there's somepony we can speak to or a certain item you require to fix this problem?
>>26966681
Get a match.
>without burning down the whole town like last time
>>26966681
Seems like we can't do much more here. Ask the conductor if he's seen our bro.
>>26966814
>Without burning down the whole town
Why not?
>>26966681
Burn everything.
>>26966729
>>26966778
>>26966866
>Offering to help at the train station AND suppressing her pyromaniacal urges...
>What a good citizen Papermint is!
"How can I help?"
>The conductor looks at Papermint quizzically.
>"You?" he asks dryly. "Well, ma'am, I appreciate the offer, but I honestly don't know how you could help. What we need is a real strong, hardy workhorse to push this stuff out of the way, or maybe a pegasus that knows how to create whirlwinds. Or, say, a unicorn that knows some high-level magic spells."
>Papermint tries to pretend she's not insulted.
"I see."
>She doesn't do a good job.
>The conductor scuffs his hoof against the platform.
>"Sorry, ma'am." he mutters. "But we need some pony extraordinary to get this mess cleaned up in a timely fashion. Otherwise it's going to take who knows how long."
"I guess so... By the way, have you seen my brother around here? Orange coat, kinda short..."
>"I think I saw a colt like that over by the shopping center a little while ago." the conductor responds. "I'm not positive though."
Stopping for the night. Thanks for playing!
>>26966976
We'll come back once we've found enough explosives.
For now, head to the shopping center.
>>26966976
Alright. Find stronk horse added to do list.
Just a heads-up: I probably won't be running today because I have to make an unexpected trip tonight.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
>>26972368
okay fampai
Bamp for more paper thin horses.
>bump because I'm a Paper Mario whore and I'm loving this so far.also didn't think Sticker Star was all that bad

>>26971756
"If I find somepony who's really strong, I'll bring them back here."
>The conductor looks up and smiles at Papermint.
>"That would be very helpful." he says. "Thank you."
>He looks back to the tracks.
>"I better get back to work, though."
>Papermint nods and bids the conductor farewell.
>Then she heads back to the main road, which connects to the alleyways on its north side and leads east to the park.
>Where could Sweet Mint be?
>>26985791
Look behind that planter thingy.
>>26985791
he might be behind the muffin store, but let check behind the window bush thing
>>26985832
>>26985852
'There's something hiding behind that planter...'
>The paper pony creepily creeps up to the shrubbery in front of the store.
>She rears up on her hind legs and raises her hooves triumphantly.
"Found you, Mint!"
>She rustles the bush!
>But that's not a pony behind the plant...
>It's the playful dog from earlier!
>And you interrupted his afternoon nap!
>He regards you with many excitable yips and tail wags.
>This was not your plan.
>This was not your plan at all!
>What will you do now?
>>26986441
quick go behide the muffin shop
Use the dog to track Mint
>>26986441
Add dog to inventory and continue search.
>>26986475
>>26986553
>>26986585
>The dog is too excitable to be added to your inventory!
>Perhaps a more direct approach will work better...?
"Hey, little doggo, do you know where my brother is?"
>The dog tilts its head in that cute, clueless way like only a dog can.
>He walks in a circle and rears up on his hind legs.
>His tail curls into an undotted question mark.
'I guess he doesn't know where Mint is... I better keep looking.'
>Papermint checks the next alley.
>There's an arrow at the end of it, pointing into a strangely-illuminated little nook of the back alley.
>The illumination is caused by candles hanging up in a tent.
>There's some pony running a business of some sort back here!
>>26988494
hey its a fortuneteller and another note. let read the note as we wait for the colt get his future told
>>26988494
Seeing that fortuneteller, reminds me this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XpUWEKt_B0
>>26988494
Is that our bro? I've totally forgotten what he looks like.
>>26988744
Yeah, I think is he...
>>26988790
aw shit let spook him
>>26988526
>Papermint ignores her brother for the time being and examines the nearby scrap of paper on the wall
'WANTED: One lost wallet!

Please return.

>>26988873
No return address or contact information of any kind?
>>26988873
welp there another side quest, time to scare our brother
>>26988906
it's in the wallet of who owns it and where they live
>>26988927
What if we find somebody else's wallet?
>>26988954
Then the owner of that wallet's contact information would be in the wallet. Are you retarded?
>>26988873
If we finds the wallet, we can keep the money to ourselves yes?
>>26988873
I'll just put "JuicywherethehellisthisIneedsomelocationamesville" into the GPS for later...
WAITWHATTHATHASN'TBEENINVENTEDYE-

I'm so excited to see more locations, like JuicywherethehellisthisIneedsomelocationamesville!
>>26989061
If we find a wallet of somebody other than the one that posted the flyer.
>>26989141
Then someone other than the guy who posted the flyer will get their wallet back.
>>26988908
This.
>>26989170
And we wouldn't complete the side quest.
>>26989232
What a shame.
>>26989252
We don't get the quest's reward if we don't complete the quest.
>>26989301
>>26989301
What makes you think the owner of the other wallet won't give us a reward?
>>26989359
It isn't a quest.

I SO got you! Don't go running off without letting me know, ok?

Dogs can't make a question mark shape with their tail, so it's obviously a spy. Get the fortune teller to tell us what the spy intends to do.

"I SO got you!"
>"Shut up!" he snaps defensively.
>He doesn't look too intimidating when he's pouting, though.
>Papermint pulls him to his hooves.
"Don't go running off without letting me know, okay? Here, I got you some mint chip."
>His little face lights up.
>"Yaaaaay!!"
>The colt takes his ice cream cone and eagerly starts licking it up.
>Papermint glances between him and the hooded pony in the tent.
>At least, Papermint THINKS that's a pony...
"So why are you back here talking to this fortune teller? I expected you to be hiding."
>"I was!" the colt protests. "Kind of. I came back here because I was looking for a really great hiding place, and I saw an arrow on the wall over there from the street."
>He points at the spray-painted arrow in question to prove his story.
>"I saw it and thought, 'A-ha! An arrow! I bet it'll point me to a great hiding spot! And it did: I came back here and found a tent. And when I opened it, she was inside of it."
>Once again, he points, this time at the fortune teller.
>"She's cool!" Sweet Mint asserts between munches on his cone. "She talks like a zebra, and she does magic tricks! She made that crystal ball glow, and it showed me pictures of the future! We're going to be famous on the Internet!"
>Papermint tilts her head.
"What's the Internet?"
>"...I dunno." Sweet Mint shrugs. "But it sounds cool, like something from a sci-fi movie! Maybe I'm going to lead the rebellion against the robot uprising someday!"
"I kind of doubt that."
>Just then, the fortune teller clears her throat softly.
>"I do not mean to interfere," she says in a soft, almost musical voice, "but I'm relieved you've made it here. May we speak for a minute or two? The future is grim, and it involves you."
Stopping for the night. Thanks for playing!

Night Inept.

Alright.
We should find a save block after we listen to the fortune teller.
