FABRIC PANIC: INTRODUCTION SCENE

We see a letter being opened. Screen turns to the player’s avatar, and we see that they are happy and excited.

PLAYER

I won — I won the auction? Yay! I am now the owner of the haberdashery down at -- Sakura Town! I will be there tomorrow first thing in the morning. How exciting! 

The screen goes black, and the next thing we see is the haberdashery from the outside. It is a small and quaint.

PLAYER

What a nice little boutique. I can’t wait to get started! 

We hear the sound of the door being opened. We see the inside of the haberdashery, worn down and empty, with something moving in the background.

PLAYER

It looks like it has been abandoned for sometime…and quite run down. Wait -- who -- what -- it’s a cat! 

We see Buttons popping up. He looks quite confused and surprised. 

BUTTONS

Hey! The name’s Buttons. Are you the new owner of the haberdashery who’s moving in today? 

PLAYER

Yes I am! Managing the haberdashery looks like it will be more challenging than I thought, but it’s nothing I can’t handle.  

BUTTONS

Would you like some help? I’ve lived in this town all my life. I know everyone and what they like! I know the seasons, the culture, the customs! I would love to be your assistant. 

The player has a yes/no option to the following question: “Would you like some help from Buttons?”

If “yes” is chosen, 

BUTTONS 

Great! Let’s get started.

If “no” is chosen,

BUTTONS 

Are you sure? I can be of great help if you just give me a chance.

The yes/no option pops up again, and continues to pop up until the player selects“yes”. 

BUTTONS AND THE PLAYER

Hooray! Let’s get started! We will do a great job and become the best haberdashery in Sakura Town!
