and what is happening?"

Part 1

Where have all the Rewriters gone?

Luna

When I look upon this world...

Luna

...everyone seems to be
stuck in place,
unchanging.

Luna

Luna

Many can read the rules of this world,
but they cannot change them.

...or so they've been led to believe.

Luna

Are they afraid to try?
To make a mistake?
To fail?

Luna

Progress will never be made that way.

Luna

This world is in need of Rewriters...

Luna

...those brave enough to take on challenges, make mistakes, and change the rules.

Luna

Luna

Change the world.

Luna

But I haven't sensed that spark of
bravery in ages...

Luna

...Oh?

Luna

What's this feeling?

This power...could it be?

Luna

Sol

Where...am I?

Luna

Excuse me...is your name Sol, by any chance?

Sol

...Yes, but how did you know? Who are you?

I had a feeling. You may not know me yet,
but you can call me Luna.

Luna

Luna...can you tell me what’s happening?
I can’t remember anything before this...

Sol

Sol...I will act as your guide, for now.
You may feel lost, but that’s okay.

Luna

Everything will make sense in time.
Now, let us begin.

Part 5

Sol

...I think I understand what’s happening.
Luna, this is a dream...right?

I woke up for a second just now, in a
dark cave...and someone else was there –
a mysterious knight. 

Sol

They ran away before I could say
anything...just who was that?

Sol

...Hmm. I believe you will find some
answers back in the real world.

Luna

Actually...there may be an object here
that will help you wake up again – an object that contains a memory.

Luna

We might find it if you continue growing
your rewriting power. Let’s see...

Luna

Ah, here we go. Sol, let’s see what
you’ve learned – try reaching the WIN
object on your own.

Luna

I’m nervous...but I’ll try! I should
probably look at the rules first, right?

Sol

That’s a good first step. Let’s examine the
blocks in each rule – do you remember what the white blocks with the pictures are called?

Luna

The pictures represent objects, so...they’re called object blocks. There’s one for myself,
the CRAB, the SANDCASTLE, and the BUBBLE.

Sol

Luna

That’s right! Now, do you remember what
the black blocks are called?

Those are state blocks, they describe how
objects behave. The state blocks here are YOU, STOP, PUSH, and WIN.

Sol

Luna

Indeed. Now that you’ve examined the rules,
let me ask you this...

Would you be able to push the crabs here? Why or why not?

Let's Discuss! (2 mins)

Sol

Hmm...no, I won’t be able to push the crabs.

Luna

That’s correct.
Can you explain how you know that?

Sol

There’s only four rules here –
first, SOL IS YOU.

Sol

Then CRAB IS STOP.

Sol

Next, SANDCASTLE IS PUSH.

Sol

Finally, BUBBLE IS WIN.

Sol

None of those say CRAB IS PUSH, so I
won’t be able to push the crabs.

Sol

I can push the sandcastles though, so that
will let me reach the bubble and WIN!

Luna

You’ve done well, Sol. I believe you’re
ready to return to the real world...
take a look at what just appeared.

Sol

A teddy bear...?
Somehow, it feels familiar...

Sol

...Hm? I have a strange feeling...like I’m
about to remember something...

Holding the teddy bear, Sol hears a distant voice...

???

Oh my, Sol’s a Rewriter?! That’s rare
these days...they’ll go on to do great
things for sure...

Sol

...Woah! What was that? A memory??

Sol

Whoever that was, they were talking
about me...does this mean I’ve always
been a Rewriter?

Sol

Luna, do you know-

Sol

Wait, Luna? ...Where are you?

Sol

...Uh oh, I feel dizzy...
is it happening again? I’m...

Sol

...Waking up.

Until next time...
