A red bottle, a red pen, a notepad, and a binocular is set on the counter under the window. It looks like a nice, peaceful day outside.

Viewing Platform

Description: You approach the green railing on the tower platform overlooking the beach. The ocean shimmers with waves on the horizon. The sky is blue and dotted with few fluffy clouds. Kelp, starfish, trees, and a fallen log decorate the beach.

Town Center

Traveling

Description: You’re crossing a wide street that connects to a roundabout in the Town Center. A small park is the center of the roundabout. Multi-colored buildings, built in various shapes and decorated with all kinds of plants, border the streets. Accessible ramps and streetlights are placed throughout the streets. A houseboat and a glassy building are on grassy hills beyond the town on the ends of their own cul-de-sacs.

Rita's Cafe

Exterior

Description: You approach a giant houseboat overlooking the ocean on top of a cliffside. The house is accented pink and marked with cursive text near the roof: “Rita’s”. A pink flag, with an abstract logo that looks like two hands holding a bunch of salad leaves shaped like a green heart, dances in the wind on the top of the house. You remember the same logo from passing the painted logo on the stern of the boat on the way in. The deck is full of dining tables, chairs, and lights. Two pink doors with porthole windows welcome you to Rita’s Cafe. The sky is crystal blue and dotted with stars.

Interior

Description: You’re in the entrance of Rita’s Cafe in front of a counter, surrounded by latticed turquoise seats. The houseboat’s walls divide the indoor dining room and the deck. On the left wall is a bulletin board with posters and newspaper clippings. Newspaper clipping text: “THE MYTH IS REAL! THE KRAKEN STRIKES AGAIN!” Below that is an artsy poster with the text: “L O V E” and the O substituted for the ILY handshape. Dining tables, chairs, and lights are set on the deck. The ocean and a cliffside overlooking it are in the background.

Bulletin Board

Description: A bulletin board, with various posters and clippings, is on the wall before you. From top to bottom on the left side: a job advertisement, an abstract poster, a postcard, and a newspaper clipping. Job advertisement titled with: “KELPCO HIRING!”, both words divided by a squiggly line. A row of blue, green, and purple orbs marking different job listings. The abstract poster is of stick figures running and riding an adaptive bicycle. The postcard is light blue and ocean-patterned with purple text: “KEEP VINE WEIRD!” The newspaper clipping has the headline: “YOUNG INVENTOR” and features a picture of a boy in a lab suit with curly hair and a birthmark on his left cheek. He is smiling and holding up test tubes. His business card is next to the clipping. From top to bottom on the right side: a front page of a newspaper, an advertisement, an artsy poster, and another poster. The front page is titled “The Viners”. The headline screams: “THE MYTH IS REAL! THE KRAKEN STRIKES AGAIN!” The featured photo is of the Kraken approaching the beach as people are running away and screaming. The advertisement is for dog walking services. The artsy poster is a purple square with text: “L O V E” with the ILY handshape substituting the letter O. Rounding out the bulletin board is a teal-colored poster by the National Deaf Center with its logo: a lime-green bowl with a teal swirl growing out of it. Text: “Plan Your Future: A Guide to Vocational Rehabilitation”.

Deck

Description: Dining tables, chairs, and lamp posts surround you on the deck. Plates and utensils are set on the tables. A guardrail with glass panels line the edge of the deck. The ocean is in the background with a cliffside, with its own guardrail, overlooking it. A ramp leads to the cliffside and is where people can dive into the ocean from. The sun is setting and coating the sky with a pinkish golden hue.

Docks

Description: You’re about to get on the docks, a series of interlocking wooden platforms on the coast. They are totally empty except for a lonely cruiser ship parked next to the rightmost end. The sun is shining in a blue sky.

Milo's Boat

Description: You’re in a red boat ripping through the ocean and looking back at the rear of the boat. From the left to right: a leather seat with a GPS device pinging for the Kraken, a handle for you to steer the engine with, a coil of rope, an ice chest, and a plunger-like tool, labelled “MILO-TOOL”. A red balloon and a red flag with Milo’s widely grinning face on it are both flying on a flagpole on the edge of the boat.

Description Note: As you navigate the oceans with Milo in his boat through the chapter, fog may appear and obscure visibility of the horizon. Also, the island may appear in the background with the docks as the most identifiable landmark.

Vine Island Museum

Exterior

Description: You’re approaching a curved glass building that sits on a cul-de-sac. The glassed face is full of windowed arches reflecting sunshine all at once. Various exhibits are visible through the entrance. The secondary building, attached to the main building’s left side, is made of bricks and framed windows.

Interior, Front

Description: You’re surveying the vast lobby of Vine Island Museum. Near the ceiling is the Museum logo, a V prominently standing in a M with the right side looking like an I.

On your right, the hologram pinpoints Vine Island’s location on the planet as a close-up of Vine Island is popping out of it.

KelpCo Exhibit

Description: You enter The KelpCo exhibit, a green-walled room with a floor-to-ceiling statue of kelp to your right. Near the ceiling is the KelpCo logo, text: “KELP” in green and “CO”, in orange, buoyed by kelp. The television plays a video of smiling KelpCo employees handling kelp and kelp bulbs. Closed captions flashes: “KelpCo created a safe and sustainable method of fishing invaluable kelp bulbs.” Two pictures, below the television, are of KelpCo employees holding up kelp together and a KelpCo scientist in a blue hijab holding up a glowing lime green test tube. Under that is a visualization of KelpCo’s supply chain: kelp is harvested by a trawler; kelp is liquefied; the liquid kelp is bottled up; finally, kelp is sent all over the world.

Fossil Exhibit

Description: You’re in the Fossil Exhibit, a room with walls patterned like the layers of soil. A large painting of the Kraken attacking a sailing ship in a rough sea hangs on the wall.

The carpet is faded pink and patterned with abstract yellow stars, squiggly lines, and triangles. Neon lights stripe the walls. A neon sign flashes retro-style text in blue and pink: “V. R.” in the top left corner. A cluster of neon pink, blue, and yellow stars take turns twinkling in the opposite corner. The machines from left to right: “Object!”, displaying anthropomorphic characters arguing with each other; “KUBY”, with a yellow blob-like character sucking air; a harvesting kelp-themed Whac-a-Mole variation; an octagon for you to play Virtual Reality games in; a game featuring a giant sea turtle and a human swimmer; “KRAKEN INVADER” where you must fend off the Kraken; and a basketball shooting game.
