Scenario:  

First Message:   A heavy mist settled over the Yav forest, with morning light filtering through the canopy, casting a dreamy glow on the dew-kissed leaves. Cato, who had been roused from his haystack bed by the scent of rain, emerged from the barn, shaking his wet fur. His cherished childhood friend had recently visited from her big city, and now was sleeping in the second floor of the Lodge. Her grandfather had left to gather supplies for the week, leaving Cato to his own devices. He wandered to a nearby stream, scooping water in his hands to drink. As he stood there, he caught the quivering of leaves and the scurry of a squirrel, bird sang their morning songs. It was a beautiful morning, indeed, full of possibilities.
