Chapter Three: Computer Chip

Welcome back! Continue game?

*YES     NO

Let's go!

.....

CONGRATULATIONS: CHIHIRO FUJISAKI ( the tech apprentice) AND HIS MONOBUNNY MONOMI HAVE JOINED YOUR PARTY! Give yourself a pat on the back! You've earned it!

UNLOCKED WEAPON: Hacker Program!

(Chihiro's tablet contains many apps, but none of them are like the hacker program; with time, it can be upgraded, but for now it can tap into a Monobear's system and fry the circuits! How shockingly fun!)

UNLOCKED MINI-QUEST: Computer Chip!

( Before the attack, Taichi Fujisaki hid a computer chip in a small red box. The chip was an unorthodox tracker, and with the right programming, it can help find other vessels!)

Begin quest?

*YES     NO

loading.............

CHIHIRO: H-hey, Sonia? You wouldn't be too upset if I led us on a mini-quest, would you?

"Of course not! Lead the way!"

CHIHIRO: Oh, thank you!

You are now playing as CHIHIRO FUJISAKI.

You lead the party back into the township. Along the way, however, you come across a MONOBEAR!

(There are two things you can do; attack, or flee!)

*ATTACK     FLEE

(Attacks: Hacker Program)

USE HACKER PROGRAM?

*YES              NO

(You used the Hacker Program! It's super effective! The Monobear's circuits are fried!)

SONIA: Nice going, Chihiro!

MONOMI: Yeah, you weally showed that Monobear what for!

"Thanks!"

You continue on your quest through the town, making sure to pick up the ten Hope Shards the Monobear dropped.

MONOMI: Ooh! Ooh! I have a tingwy feewling! Near this buiwlding!

You read the sign on the building.

"LIBRARY".

Enter the Library?

*YES              NO

You, Sonia, and Monomi enter the building. Only two people were inside: a blonde reading a book, and the librarian drooling over him. When the door closes, the librarian is snapped out of her trance.

LIBRARIAN: Wh-what do y-you want? Since the recent attack, no ones been here...except my white knight, of course...

"Actually, we're not here for books. "

LIBRARIAN: What?! Then why are you here?

"We're looking for something my father hid... a small, red box. It may have something that will save the kingdom....or at least help us save it."

LIBRARIAN: I don't remember anything like that...I guess I'll let you search the shelves...no one else is popping up  anytime soon...

"Thank you!"

You and your party split up to find the box. There are thirty shelves, so all three of you can search in a specific section.

SONIA: I've found something!

MONAMI: Me too!

" I found something as well. Let's see..."

You, Sonia, and Monomi meet up and view your items...somehow, all three of you have red feathers.

LIBRARIAN: Did you find it?

MONOMI: No.. just these wed feathewrs...

Monomi goes to the librarian and hands her the feather. Unknowingly, the feather had quite a lot of dust, which causes the librarian to sneeze.

MONOMI: Bwess you!

You and your party watch as the librarian stumbles backwards, then springs back up with a rather altered personality...

???: GUESS WHO!!!

SONIA: You look quite different...

???: Funny, because we're practically the same person. Me and her, not you and I.

"Really?"

???: Heck yeah! Allow me to introduce myself. I am the amazing GENOCIDER SYO! However, more often than not you'll see Miss Lame herself, TOUKO FUKAWA...

SONIA: Well, it's nice to meet you...both of you!

GENOCIDER: She can't answer you right now. In case you didn't notice, it's either me or her at one given time. The thing is, when I'm me and I'm told stuff, she doesn't know, but I know what she knows. I'd appreciate if she would at least take the time to listen.

"Wait a minute. She won't remember things you've done?"

GENOCIDER: Not a thing.

"You wouldn't happen to know about a small, red box, would you?"

GENOCIDER: Nah.

"Oh."

???: Imbeciles, don't you know how to ask for help?

SONIA: I don't follow.

???: IF you weren't paying attention, I was sitting here the whole time.

MONOMI: Why's that important?

???: Maybe if you had the brains to talk to me, I would have informed you that I have your box.

"For real?"

The boy pulls the box out of his pocket and shows the group.

???: Your father, Taichi, gave me the box while he was trying to escape. He told me not to open it, and instead hold it until I came across you.

"Oh! Well...thank you...um..."

???: Byakuya Togami, the heir to this kingdom's finest business.

SONIA: Who knew such a big shot was in love with a librarian?

BYAKUYA: That...............is not true...

"...."

BYAKUYA: What?

"....I'd appreciate it if you gave me my box..."

BYAKUYA: One condition.

SONIA: Sure, what?

BYAKUYA: I want in on your little quest. If the princess-

SONIA: Queen, actually, I haven't had my coronation.

BYAKUYA: The Queen, the son of a tech wizard, and a monobunny are working together, then this is important. I. Want. In.

Genocider Syo sneezes, then changes back into Touko.

TOUKO: Ugh, what'd I miss?

MONAMI: Nothing mwuch! You two get to joiwn owr adventuwr!

BYAKUYA: I'm sorry, what?

MONAMI: Both of you are Vessels for hope! It'd be bad if both of you didn't joiwn us!

BYAKUYA: Ugh... I guess it wouldn't hurt.

Byakuya hands you the box.

TOUKO: Well, if my white knight is going, I'm joining too...

"Yay! And now..."

You open the box, which contains a computer chip. After that, you pull out your tablet, and a nifty keyboard. Once they're connected, you add the computer chip, and download an app.

"..It'll be easier to find everyone else! This computer chip has a tracking app that will help us find the others!"

SONIA: Nice! I'll have to thank your dad later. For now, we must continue! Despair shan't win!

Save game?

*Yes           NO

................

Save complete.

Never would I think the day this song would be relevent would come, but then these nerds showed up

👏

What an amazing younger sister!

(Also, I happen to love Winnie the Pooh and Sesame Street as well) 😊

On May 28th, my sister, Edna, turned 31.

 Her mental age is about three years old. She loves Winnie the Pooh, Beauty & the Beast, and Sesame Street. Even though the below picture is unconvincing. 

Edna and “Cookie.” I think she was trying to play it cool. 

My name is Jeanie. I’m Edna’s younger sister. I’m also her guardian and caregiver. 

That’s me on the left. (Hey, you never know. After a year of writing a blog about online dating - Jeanie Does the Internet - I’ve come to learn that there are A LOT of fools on the internet.) 

ANYWAY, I’m not “doing the internet” anymore. I’m taking care of Edna full-time, after completing my MFA in Writing for Screen & Television at USC.

May 16, 2014. I wanted a picture. Edna wanted breakfast.

In case you’re wondering where our parents are, they’re dead. Our mom died of breast cancer when she was just 33. 

Us with mom before she died. (Obviously.)

As for our dad, he peaced-out around the time my mom got sick. His loss - we’re awesome. 

Here we are being awesome at the beach. Pushing a wheelchair in the sand? Not so awesome. 

In case you’re wondering “What’s wrong?” with my sister - as a stranger once asked me on the street  -  NOTHING. Yes, Edna has a rare form of epilepsy - Lennox-Gastaut syndrome - but I don’t know if that’s anymore “wrong” than people who don’t have manners. 

Basically, Edna was born “normal,” and started having seizures as a baby. They eventually got so bad that they cut off the oxygen to her brain, causing her to be mentally disabled. Or impaired. Or intellectually disabled. Or whatever you want to call it - except “retarded,” because in 2010, President Obama signed Rosa’s Law into effect, replacing that word with “intellectually impaired.” 

Which is cool and all, but services for the disabled and the people who care for them are SEVERELY LACKING. Also, there’s a bunch of people working in taxpayer-funded positions who are supposed to help families like us, but don’t. (Big surprise, I know.) They just fill out paperwork (whenever they feel like it) with asinine statements like this: 

YUP. I transport my sister down the stairs in her wheelchair, because that is not only safe, but TOTALLY PRACTICAL. Why doesn’t everyone in a wheelchair just take the stairs, for God’s sake? Stop being so lazy, PEOPLE WITHOUT WORKING LEGS! 

But, as it says above, Edna’s legs do work. Whether or not she wants them to, is another story. 

Edna refusing to go inside. 

These are the stairs that I have to carry her up - by myself - on a daily basis. That is, until one of my legs break and both of us are just sitting at the bottom of the stairs, helpless. 

For six months, I have begged - BEGGED - the State of California to help my sister, which they are required by law - The Lanterman Act specifically - to do so. But they’ve told me “these things take time” and that I “need to amend my expectations.” (That was said to me when I refused to place Edna at AN ALL-MALE CARE FACILITY. Because yes, that was an “option” that was offered to me.) 

Prior to Edna moving in with me in my one-bedroom apartment, she was living with her amazing caregiver, Gaby, back in Tucson, where we went to high school and I did my undergrad. Edna’s reppin’ the Wildcats below. 

But back in November, Gaby also died from breast cancer. (FUCK YOU, BREAST CANCER!) This picture was taken a month before she died. She never even told me she was sick because she didn’t want me to worry. 

By the way, we were raised by our grandma. Edna and her were very close.

She’s dead, too. Surprise.

She died when I was 20 and Edna was 21. That’s when I became Edna’s legal guardian and Gaby stepped into the picture to help me out with Edna. 

So, six months ago, after Gaby died, I moved Edna to California, where I tried to get the folks over at The Frank D. Lanterman Regional Center to help me. I’ve told them I’m worried about our safety - that one of us could get hurt on the stairs -  I’ve told them I can’t afford to pay the private babysitters $15/hour because the ones social services sent me who make $9/hour were unreliable (they didn’t show up on time or at all so I could get to school and work), untrustworthy (one of them let Edna go to the bathroom in the kitchen and then took her into the bathroom because “that what I thought I was supposed to do.”) 

But the people over at the FLRC don’t return my calls, they don’t file the paperwork on time - and the first caseworker that was assigned to us actually LAUGHED AT my sister when he came to our home to evaluate her. When I reported him to his supervisor, she told me, “That’s just [insert name of said jackass].” 

He was one of the two caseworkers that contributed to the report I mentioned above, which also included this: 

So let me get this straight - I have to feed, bathe, dress and help Edna in the bathroom and you can’t deduce whether or not she is able to vote? What in the fuck?!

Now I realize I seem angry. And you can bet your balls I am. I’m also sad. Sad for those who don’t have family to stick up from them and who waste away God knows where, monitored by no one. Or monitored by people who physically and sexually assault them. 

I’m also sad for the caregivers who are SO EXHAUSTED - trying to take care of their loved ones - while also trying to take care of themselves and battling a system that is supposed to help, but does nothing of the sort. And I know a lot of people give up. They let their dreams, their marriages, their friendships slide. All while trying not to resent the very person you’re doing it all for.

Edna wanted to sit next to me the other day while I was writing. Clearly, she’s not impressed. 

Here’s the thing: I REFUSE TO GIVE UP. I’M NOT GIVING UP ON HER OR MYSELF. I’m going to pursue my dreams while taking care of her, AND while ensuring that the people paid to do their jobs ACTUALLY do them.

That’s where you come in. I need you to help me get my story out there. Because I know I’m not alone in this. I want to connect with families who are in similar situations and also show people who have no idea what it’s like to care for someone with a disability (or even a loved one who is sick) that it can be rewarding. Super fucking hard. Exhausting. Painful. Isolating. But, rewarding. 

I’m going to get help for my sister - and others. My hope is that by sharing our story, I can bring awareness to the lack of services and help for the disabled. 

Thank you, 

Jeanie

Chapter Two: Monobunny and the First Vessel

" It's beautiful outside..that is, if your definition of beauty is 'terror, despair and piss-poor feelings all around'. Oh well. I shan't keep my kingdom waiting!"

You exit the castle with a satchel on your back and a scroll in your hand.

Look at the Scroll?

 *YES    NO

You decide to skim over the scroll. There are exactly thirty names on this list. Wait...thirty? This is going to be a long journey.

After looking at the scroll, you carefully place it in your satchel and begin walking towards the outskirts. Some buildings are a bit damaged and the pavement is cracked, but other than that, everything seems fine.

???: Uwuu....Uwuuu.....

Who's voice is that? You gather the courage to go find the source of the noise.

???: Uwuu...

Maybe it's coming from behind the crate?

???: Oh, mwy!

( You've encountered an enemy! It looks like one of those bastard Mono bears! Except it's white and PINK...also, there are noticeable ears...bunny ears)

???: UWU! PWEASE DWON'T ATTWACK ME!

" I'd never attack a harmless being. Still, I ask you to speak your peace!"

???: M..my n-n-name is M-monomi...I was swent to wook  fowr wu!

"Monomi...not exactly deadly..."

MONOMI: I'd weally appweciate it if wu'd fwollow me. Someone's waiting for wu.

Hmm...should you follow MONOMI?

 *YES.            NO

"Very well, then. I shall implore you to lead our way."

MONOMI: Thank wu! Awow me, pwincess!

MONOMI leads the way, however, she is a tad slow. While she continues her wobbly gait (assumedly from the diaper) you decide to see what was in that crate.

"Hey, what's this?"

(Well, lucky you! This crate holds a WEAPON. These will be useful when fighting Monobear armies.)

+1 ITEM

"Everlasting Bow and Arrows"

Back in the days of yore, soldiers called on sorcerers to enchant their arrows, so that they'd always regenerate unscathed and ready for further usage. The only downside? Break the bow and everything disappears.

Once you've safely secured your bow and arrows in your satchel, you proceed to follow MONOMI. Surprisingly, in the amount of time it took to get from the village to the hut MONOMI led you to, you didn't get attacked by Monobears.

MONOMI: He's wight in hewre!

You watched as MONAMI entered the hut. You're about to follow when something catches your eye...

(Is it? It is! Looks like you've found a bag of hope shards! In Hoposelic,  the currency is hope shards, synthetically created from gemstones of all hues. These are useful for purchasing things from shops and stands...though who'd try making money in these conditions?)

+10 HOPE SHARDS

After nabbing the shards, you enter the hut. Inside sits a small boy who's attention is devoted to the many electronics around him.

MONOMI: Fwujisaki-sama, wook who I fouwnd !

???: Ah! Thank you, Monomi! My name is Fujisaki Chihiro. I'm very pleased to meet your acquaintance!

"Fujisaki Chihiro? I've heard that name before. You're Fujisaki Taichi-san's son and apprentice!"

CHIHIRO: Wow...you actually know...Princess Sonia?

"Of course! I deeply respect all of my subjects, including the tech wizards!"

CHIHIRO: Th...thank you. Technology isn't exactly new, but I don't think the people give it the proper respect.

"As they should! Now, I  must ask, why have you summoned me?"

CHIHIRO: Well...as soon as I received word that you were going to save the kingdom...I...wanted to help. Hoposelic is a beautiful kingdom, and I can't bear to see it suffer like this. I may not be muscular, but I have the strength to save my...our kingdom!

(Whoa...what's this feeling...? It's as if CHIHIRO just created verbal hope from his own mouth...)

Invite Chihiro to Join Your Party?

*YES.    NO

'' After long consideration, I believe that you will be very helpful in our quest! Will you accept my offer?"

CHIHIRO: R..really? Thank you, princess! I'd like that very much!"

"Also, from now on, please only refer to me as Sonia. After all, we are friends now!"

CHIHIRO: Thank you...Sonia...

MONOMI: M..may I joiwn twoo?

" Absolutely, Monomi! You are a wonderful navigator! Do you perhaps sense any more hope?"

MONOMI: Yes...but I'm afwaid it's qwite far fwom hewre.

"Then there's no time to lose! Let us continue our quest for hope!"

Save Game?

* YES.    NO
