The body of this letter is wrapped in {{{<p>}}} tags as usual. The date above is wrapped in <<{{{date}}}>> tags so the ''date'' macro handles its formatting.</p> <p>Here’s an example of what the ''address'' widget looks like:</p> <<add "Lapin Lunaire Games" "℅ Jinx" "123 Lunar Way" "Aristarchus NS 9256" "YUE">> <p>Each line in the formatted return address is an argument given to the widget. If two arguments are provided, the first is the signoff (“Cheers,”) and the second is the signature itself (“Jinx”). If only one argument is given, the widget will style it as a signature without a signoff (as seen in “Dear Reader” at the top of this letter).</p> <<sig "Cheers," "Jinx">> <hr> <div class="choice choicebtn"> <<link "First Page" "Start">><</link>> <<link "Template Styles" "Styles">><</link>> </div>

Hi! Thanks for downloading my Sugarcube Epistolary/Prose Template. Below is a key to the colour-coded tags I've used to identify which passages should be edited with your own text, which are guides/references for the template's screenplay format widgets, and which should not be edited without deeper HTML/CSS/Twinescript familiarity. I've tried to make the template as plug-and-play friendly as possible, but please don't hesitate to leave a comment on itch or contact me (https://lapinlunaire-games.neocities.org/contact/) if you have any questions and the code comments aren't quite getting you the info you need. Happy Twining! -Jinx //--------------- TAG KEY ----------------- "Guide" (BLUE) Reference passage. "Edit-This!" (GREEN) Passages tagged "Edit-This!" contain text meant for you to change to your own project's information. "No-Touchy!" (RED) Editing not recommended without advanced HTML/CSS/Twinescript knowledge.

<p>Earth stop responding after a while.</p> <p>No idea what's happening back there.</p> <p>A war?</p> <p>Or they just abandoned me here?</p> <div class="choice"> [[Alone|Origami]] </div>

<p>I'm all alone in here. These stations were designed to be as small as possible and can only have one occupant.</p> <p>There's not much to do but wait.</p> <p>No idea what to do now.</p> <div class="choice"> [[Eat|Food]] [[Look outside|Neptune]] </div>

<p>At least I'll never get bored of the view.</p> <p>This giant blue planet.</p> <p>So beautiful.</p> <p>So mesmerizing.</p> <div class="choice"> [[Thinking about the past|Past]] </div>

<p>I don't have much food left.</p> <p>Maybe enough for a few weeks?</p> <p>Or a bit more if I start eating less.</p> <div class="choice"> [[Thinking about the past|Past]] </div>

<p>Wish I took life more seriously back then. I didn't do much, always thinking that the important stuff could wait for later. But I was wrong.</p> <p>Disappointed and hurt people around me.</p> <p>Wish I could go back and tell them how sorry I am and how much I loved them.</p> <p>But it's too late now.</p> <div class="choice"> [[Any hope left?|Hope]] </div>

<p>Is there something I can actually do?</p> <p>If I just wait here, I'll die soon.</p> <p>The only thing I can think of is to open the computer systems back up and hoping I can communicate with someone, even if it will cost a lot of power.</p> <div class="choice"> [[Open the computer systems|Computer]] </div>

<p>It takes a few minutes to open.</p> <p>I hear the sound of the computers fill the silence that was previously there for so long.</p> <p>The monitor opens. I'm afraid that it's the same as when I closed it. </p> <div class="choice"> [[Look at the monitor|Monitor]] </div>

<p>There's a new message. I can't believe it.</p> <p>But it's not coming from Earth. It's from the other station near Neptune, //The Mystic//.</p> <p>I have no idea how they were able to send it, the stations are not designed to communicate with each other.</p> <div class="choice"> [[Read the message|Message]] </div>

<p>''The Mystic'': I don't have long. but I need you to trust me. Grab your space suit and leave the station. Earth is gone, but there's something else out there. You'll know what to do once outside. I can't wait to meet you.</p> <div class="choice"> [[What now?|Outside]] </div>

<p>Am I actually doing this?</p> <p>What if they're wrong?</p> <p>I'm so afraid.</p> <div class="choice"> [[Take a leap of faith|End01]] [[Stay inside|End02]] </div>

<p>I can't believe I'm actually doing this.</p> <p>I'm shaking... but the suit is on.</p> <p>The door is open.</p> <p>Leaving the station and floating into space.</p> <p>//The Origami// is getting smaller and smaller.</p> <p>I can't believe what I'm seeing.</p> <h2>The End</h2>

<p>I can't do it.</p> <p>Paralized by fear.</p> <p>At least I'll have a few more days in here.</p> <p>To think about all the mistakes I made.</p> <p>To feel the loneliness one last time.</p> <h2>The End</h2>
