CF | The pyramid's slopes are interrupted by deep gaps, as if huge pieces
CF | had been hacked away.

CF |
CF | Palace
CF | The remains of a lavish throne room lie in the shadow of the black
CF | pyramid.
CF |
CF | Two mummies and their embalmed cat recline on crumbling couches.
CF | Ghostly green flames dance in a shallow pit before you; beyond, on a
CF | sandstone throne, sits a toucan, very much alive and unmummified.
CF |
CF | "What on earth is a living human girl doing here?" asks one mummy.
CF |
CF | "There's no need to be rude," says the other. She rises slowly to
CF | greet you. "Welcome, little alive human girl. I am Nenut, and this is
CF | Penenq—and that's Sanit," she says, of the cat sniffing at your feet.
CF | "The gentleman in the throne is my husband, Djereth, the King of
CF | Mummies. But he's not himself today."
CF |
CF | "It is a pleasure to meet all of you," you reply. "My name is
CF | Ebenezabeth. I think I can help."
CF |

Lancelot says, "ahhh"
Lancelot says, "yep thrones are health risks"
keltena says (to ClubFloyd), "talk to toucan"

CF |
CF | "I will do my best to help, Your Majesty," you say to the toucan.

keltena says (to ClubFloyd), "x him"

CF | >
CF | > X HIM
CF |
CF | His bright blue eyes and bright orange beak make the King of Mummies
CF | seem very out of place, and he hops back and forth on his throne with
CF | an energy that doesn't at all become a mummy.
CF |
CF | The toucan chirps.

CF |
CF | "What a handsome cat you are, Sanit!" you exclaim—although there
CF | isn't
CF | much left of him to base this impression on.
CF |

keltena says (to ClubFloyd), "pet him"

CF | >
CF | > PET HIM
CF |
CF | You pet Sanit carefully, trying hard not to disturb his wrappings.
CF |
CF | > keltena says, "Passes the Can You Pet the Cat test!"
Lancelot says, "yep"
keltena says (to ClubFloyd), "play dead"
CF ] Palace
CF | >
CF | > PLAY DEAD
CF |
CF | You blow the notes "DEAD" from the magic whistle. The toucan stops
CF | hopping about, transfixed by the melody.
CF |
CF | Then the bird seems to wither away before your eyes, and wrinkled
CF | linen wraps around its form—which grows, even as it wastes
CF | away—into
CF | the shape of a man. A shriveled mummy man.
CF |
CF | Nenut and Penenq rise to assist him, but Djereth waves them away. He
CF | walks up to you.
CF |
CF | "It is rare for anything to happen on this dead planet—anything at
CF | all," he says. "I find myself feeling a bit grateful to have suffered
CF | this strange inconvenience. But I am more grateful to you, little
CF | alive girl, for breaking the spell and restoring my proper form." He
CF | puts a cold hand on your shoulder.
CF |
CF | "It is my honor, Your Majesty," you answer, and he resumes his throne.
CF |
CF | > Lancelot exclaims, "score!"
DavidW says, "got it in one!"
