We’ve met 3 kids. They like video games. And they’ve stumbled into one that’s brought about the end of the world. But it also seems to have put them into a journey into something even grander. But this isn't a story of 3 heroes. The game demands 4.

We see a girl sleeping in a garden. She has long black hair, like John she has buck teeth and glasses. She wears a dress and has a bunch of colourful strings on her fingers. She’s holding a note. Next to her is a flute, and a familiar looking pumpkin. The very on a Wayward Vagabond would appearify.

The flowers surrounding her are very strange. They are spirographs. Her name is Farmstink Buttlass. The audience wants to wake her up. They attempt to drop a pumpkin onto her but it disappears. Reading the note in her hand revealed she has predicted that the audience would name her Farmstink and she doesn't like that.Her real name is Jade Harley. Given her predictions and that we’ve found her in a Garden. We can assume this is our GardenGnostic[GG].

We get to play the flute with Jade. It turns out she is terrible at it. She mentions that stuff tends to appear and disappear a lot and she has no idea where this flute came from. In attempting to take the flute we learn Jade has many different fetch modi. All themed on common board games. She chooses Memory as it’s the most practical. Her grandfather had given them to her and she mentions he is a little strict. You may also note the icon on Jades shirt changes.

On the audience's advice to do something terribly stupid involving poop she proceeds. Jade spread fertiliser over her plants while squealing like a pig. She then takes the fertiliser into her inventory. She points out the coloured strings on her fingers are reminding her to wish John a happy birthday.

It seems like our introduction to Dave we are meeting Jade in a point which occurred in the past. She needs to go to her room to get supplies for something she needs to do outside. Only Jade will understand the meaning of the reminders on her fingers. But even she's never sure what they mean.

After grabbing a pumpkin, a crab apple, a key lime, a mandarin orange, and eureka lemon, she headed out of the garden. We see the garden is huge. At its centre is a pad of stone that looks like the one under the appearifier that the Wayward vagabond found. This pad is apparently a transporter. I can assume that's a handy accessibility feature for her grandfather, no need for stairs. Also this is technology well beyond the seemingly normal homes the other kids had.

Jade's bedroom is crazy, she has the interest of all the other kids combined. Her own interest seems to be plants, she has many in there. This includes some orchids which are notoriously hard to care for. She has a magic chest that is very much like Johns but blue, She has a Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff poster. But it's vandalised to make them look like animals. She also has a lot of plush puppets, but they’re altered. Like Rose she has squids, but they are cute, she also has Rose’s interest in Beast but uhh different. As Jade puts it she's into “Fauna of an anthropomorphological persuasion”. Jade is a furry, she's a teen girl cut her some slack.

On the other half of her room is a gun collection. Also, there is what appears to be a nuclear reactor and some uranium that she likes to tinker with. Wow! did not see that coming. She says the guns are for sport only and not to harm animals. The weird gizmos are the inventions of her grandfathers.

Jades grandfather is apparently an explorer, naturalist, treasure hunter, archaeologist, scientist, adventurer, big game hunter, and billionaire. He had taught Jade but she finds him strict and his lectures stern. It seems like the others have issues with her guardian. She says he spends all day in the Grand Foyer. That’s a bit odd. If you have a massive mansion the foyer isn't usually the place to hang out all day.

She mentions she will have to encounter her grandfather soon. She needs to go out and feed her pet Becquerel. She had called them Bec before, but the word becquerel is the unit of radioactivity. But First she needs to chat with John.

Is memory loss a symptom of radiation sickness?
