>Look around. Does this seem like a friendly place?

>It feels absolutely serene. As you turn around, you notice a woman wearing a beautiful dress covered in rainbo(ry
>You feel as if you've known her all your life; someone you would trust with your very life in a heartbeat. She beckons you to come closer.

> You walk up to her, spouting out many words. They echo around the area unnaturally, and you have a feeling your dreamworld isn't registering them. The second sentence of "Who are you?" seems to go through, however.
>"I'm your Great-Grandmother, little #$^@!", she says. The last word is garbled beyond comprehension; you think your name is what she said. But you can't remember your name, even in dreams... your Great Grandmother continues to speak. "I'd like you to bring me to the place where your parents work, okay? I'm very interested in what they do."

>Your parents... they worked in WINTERVALE. That's right. You live in Wintervale! You can't remember what your parents did... you do remember where they work. You could lead her there. You trust this woman you've just met so much. It wouldn't hurt a thing to show her, right?

> "Please... help me... I can't remember anything!"

>You hear a voice; turning around, you see a white ball of light floating behind you. "I'm very sorry for you, little girl. What has been done to you is cruel on the most sadistic level. But I cannot help you. You have to help yourself now. Through your dreams, you may be able to remember who you are, and perhaps then you will be able to recover... you just have to go along with the dreams to the best of your ability."
>The ball of light begins to fade. "It's difficult to contact you, even only in a dream... I'm afraid I must go now. Good luck!"

>You take the rainbow-dressed woman by the hand and lead her to Wintervale, giving the Ice Palace (Oh yes, that's what it is!) a last look. Your dream seems to flash by, and suddenly you're in front of a door... the door to the building where your parents work. You can feel the magic in the air, here.
>"I can't open the door; I don't have the key. But you do, I presume? Don't be shy; hand it over.", the rainbowy woman says. That's right; the door to this building is usually locked when your parents and the others are working. They shouldn't be interrupted, because that would be bad. But this woman feels so pure... she couldn't possibly have any kind of bad intention in mind.

>You tell her to be good, and once again feel bad about it. But then you open the door, and that rights things in your head. She heads inside.
>After a moment, you start to hear some kind of commotion happening in the building.

>You head in through the door. The first thing you see is someone sitting at a desk, with their head down. They seem to have spilled their drink, because there is a large pool of red liquid on the desk around their head.
>A door going further into the building is open. The commotion is getting louder.

>You head through the door, hoping to find something to wipe up the spill. Red stuff tends to stain.
>Kool-aid? Sounds like something you'd use on a cut...
>As you head further in, you reach the main room. Bodies are lying all around in various odd looking poses, and the room is covered in the red liquid you saw before. Oh, wait... that must be... which means they're all...
>The rainbow-dressed woman is at the other end of the room, slicing another person across the throat. The blood seems to slide right off her dress, but her arms and face are covered in it.

>Get a vague sense of this being wrong, through the haze in your mind.

>This... this is wrong. It's very wrong. And you're going to try to fix that.
>You walk over to Rainbows and take the knife from her hands. She gives you a surprised stare, not realizing you had been in the room at all!
>"You shouldn't be getting this blood all over yourself!", you hear. Then you realize you're the one that said it. You walk over to a woman shuddering with fear in the corner; why is she shuddering? What Rainbows is doing must be good. She couldn't possibly do anything bad. You'll help Rainbows with her task.
>Your arm moves, and the blood flows freely. There; everyone in the room has been eliminated. This must make the world a better place, right? Rainbows is surely thinking of the greater good with her actions. And you just helped! You feel very happy inside.

>You smile! But perhaps the blood on you is making the smile look a bit demented.
>You give a few words to the dead woman in front of you. "That's... very good of you.", Rainbows says. "I'm going to leave the village now, before this is discovered; that wouldn't do at all, if I was accused, now would it? You shall take the blame for me."
>She begins to walk out of the room.

>This... this IS wrong. You just murdered a woman. You let Rainbows in here to murder everyone inside. They were the people who kept up the magical barriers that keep away the eternal winter; you remember this now! This is very, very wrong.
