Spoiler: Explanation & Introduction (click to show/hide)

 Firstly, if you do not know how IF (interactive fiction) text-adventures work, I suggest you familiarize yourself with them here. I do not have the patience to write out all the details.

 Anyway, onto the specifics: Every location in this game is based off of a poem. In some cases, vaguely, but in others, down to the letter. Because of this, there is a command in this game you would not find in any other: Name. Following this command, simply type the name of the poem (you must be VERY specific, I am finicky, and I don't want to feel like you're just guessing), and if you are correct, I will post the poem in-game, and you will receive a bit of character-narrative as well. Naming does not "pass" game time, since it is more of a meta-action than something physically happening in the game universe.

Dripping Forest

 Puddles cover the forest floor, and a few lie on the path you stand on. Above you, the autumn branches shake with the wind and let loose small showers onto the damp leaves that seem to cover the ground in every direction. Except for that, there is no sound for miles in the rain-scented air. From the NORTH runs a small road, and splits to the EAST and WEST at the point where you stand.

 You see the sun rising to the EAST. It is day.

I really expected helmacon to be right, but I may as well toss one into the mix

House on a Cliff

 You follow the path up the side of a small hill, ending at the doorway of a small cabin. Past the cabin, the hill drops away into the unseen frothing sea below. Beside the path, you see a young WOMAN. She seems not to notice you, and walks almost in a dazed manner, constantly starting off towards a GRAVESTONE or the small, downwards TRAIL beside it, before immediately turning around and moving back to the cabin. She never walks down the path to the WEST (edit: EAST), and even seems hesitant to go in that direction.

Talk to the woman.

>Talk to the woman.
 As you approach her, you see she is in tears.
 "He-Hello. Sorry I d-didn't notice you."
    1. Have you seen anyone come by?
    2. Is anything wrong?
