Part 13: Ground Bacon And Bee Pictures

Barney gives Lyndsay another Scroll, which she unrolls.





Sam's a good sport. Woo hoo, yay!

: But wait... Stone and... Amber?! Barney, where are we supposed to find this stuff?

: The ground. I'm going to give you guys my old treasure finder! You can use it to dig up all sorts of things!

: Wow! Think of all the treasure we could find! Stone, mana, precious gems--

: --and Bacon!



Let's just... remember that she said that, okay?

: Bacon is delicious!

Brief pause. Barney turns to Sam.

: Anyhow, here's the treasure finder.



: Alright, Sam, let's dig around and see what we can find!

Sam nods.





We've unlocked all four wand modes: no wand, building wand, painting wand, and metal-detecting wand.



The treasure detector works exactly like free-range mining: walk around watching the radar circles change color and listening to the boopy noises. When the circles go bright red and the boopy noises go all high-pitched and excited, Sam has found something!



Sam pulls out Elmira's shovel and digs at the ground for a minute...



... and the world explodes in bouncy treasures, yaaaaay. Eventually Sam digs up enough Essences to satisfy the Scroll.

: Hey, Sam! Did you finish a Scroll? Let's go tell Barney we're done!



... he's... right there, Lyndsay

Anyway! We get: Barney's Interior Paints, a Bookshelf, a basic wooden Coffee Table, a Cooking Pot, a Bee Picture, a Sunflower Vase, a Teddy Bear, some Cooking Utensils on a wooden pegboard, a Traditional Bed and Couch, a kitchen Counter, and a Dresser.

: Did you talk to Barney? He sure is particular!





Barney goes into his new house! Let's follow.



... I know I did not build you a square house, Barney. Also I do not see the windows that I so lovingly placed and painted. I call shenanigans on this adorable Escherian nightmare!



Uh, anyway. The television icon is Domestic Essence, which is the game's shorthand for 'furniture'. Also, looks like Barney wants a house that's a little Fun and just a tiny bit Cute. Awww.



Kitchen complete, with plenty of extra counter space for that toaster oven!



Bee!



A couch, a coffee table, and a bookshelf make a nice minimal living room.



And a bed and dresser make a bedroom! Plus some sunflowers and a teddy bear. For Fun.



Sam puts wood paneling in the bedroom and tile on the kitchen floor. Notice that we could paint the couch upholstery a lovely shade of Gross Wallpaper if we wanted to.



Aww, Barney's happy.



Let's give him a bright green bedspread.



She? Oh, Barney, are you sweet on Elmira?

... seriously, it had better be Elmira, because I don't like any of your other options

: Now, could you follow me outside? I have something I'd like to give you.

He's totally just kicking us out of his house now that we're of no further use to him.
