Speaking Thread
Some characters see text when the thread is double-clicked. Some of the threads stack with others, but some strangely do not. This is because there are many different versions of the same thread. Each gives a different message if double clicked and only those with the same message will stack. Here are messages heard from the Thread of Life:
- "You begin working."
- "You face a dark wood with two paths, and finally choose the one you wish to travel."
- "You make a new friend."
- "For a fleeting moment you walk along the edge of a dream, sharing in the experience."
- "A jumble of thoughts tumble chaotically through, but at last the confusion passes."
- "For a brief moment you are able to believe something as someone else does, yet it doesn't last."
- "You have a child."
- "You are born."
- "You take a moment to reflect upon the past, and find it leads you to a solution for the present"
- "You protect something"
- "You are imprisoned."
- "You fight."
- "You marry."
- "You're faced by an unfamiliar problem, but experience has given you the tools to forge ahead."
- "Vivid images fill your mind, and unfamilar thoughts struggle to give them meaning"
- "Clarity leads you to an insightful thought, and you find yourself pleased with your rationale."
- "You die"
- "The sights, smells and sounds are long gone, but you can still feel them as though it just happened."
- "You're blinded by bursts of color, and reality seems to bend around you."
- "You find a lover."
