Snippet #2354580

((OOC please don’t break puzzles by creating objects out of thin air. There’s not supposed to be a paddle, at least not until someone figures something out. Then again, it doesn’t really matter if there is a paddle, the puzzle will react in exactly the same way to someone trying to cross the river without solving it. Also, mind the locations, if you don’t mind.))

Andromeda didn’t mind the low charm, at least it wasn’t a 1. Actually, it would be convenient to cooperate with someone one of whose higher stats was her dump stat. She gladly shook his hand. “Yes, let’s see what’s on the other side! I’m Andromeda.”

The catgirl hopped into the boat, and thanked herself for choosing to have high agility. Tipping over the canoe wouldn’t have been nice, she didn’t enjoy swimming. She let Raith do the rowing, because he was stronger.

As soon as they reached the middle of the river, something odd happened. It was as if a giant hand lifted the canoe, held it upside down, and shook it. Andromeda screamed like a little girl as she tried to hold on to the boat. It was too bad none of her stats would save her, the canoe continued shaking until both had failed on whichever stat they tried to use.

Andromeda wanted to swear after spitting out the water that had gotten into her mouth, but something in her subconscious warned her that swearing was bad. Right there and then she didn’t remember that bad words had ended countless of her games, but the AI had managed to train her to keep her foul mouth shut.

The canoe floated through the air, it was returned to its old spot on the beach. A strong current pushed both avatars back in the direction of the shore they had come from. Treading water, Andromeda complained “I don’t get it.”
