Map of Lush Hilltop

Lush Hilltop is an area accessible from the image of the computer at the bottom of the main page in Terracities.

Features

Lush Hilltop is a horizontally looping world filled with grassy terrain situated upon gray, block-like mesas. The world is divided into several discrete tiers of elevation, which can be accessed by walking up or down thin ramps that blend in with the rest of the terrain. At the northern edges of the world, a horizon of purple clouds moving across a darker purple sky can be observed. Many gray, rectangular archways and frame-like structures can be found standing throughout the area. Ornate patterns are marked in horizontal bands across their tops and at their bases. These structures take on smaller and simpler forms at higher elevations, often reduced to mere cubes at the far north.

The turf is marked with an occasional pattern composed of darker green squares. Surrounded by one of these patterns, upon the lowest elevation tier, sits an old desktop computer and monitor, which connects MInnatsuki to Terracities upon interaction.

Small herbaceous plants with round leaves, resembling those of the genus Hydrocotyle, grow among the grasses. At the higher elevations to the north, these plants are much more plentiful, with many having grown to massive sizes. Enormous vegetables, among other food items, lay strewn across the world as well. East of the computer is a trail of scattered beans that leads to a giant bulb of garlic and half of a red onion. Northeast of the computer is a narrow ramp with a pair of massive leeks laying among more scattered beans to the north of ramp's bottom. To the east of the base of this ramp is a large brown onion, sitting on an out of reach platform, along with some more beans and a purple closed connection sign.

Taking a series of two short ramps northwest from the computer and then heading northeast will bring Minnatsuki to a platform rising from a pit, upon which can be seen a collection of various oversized foods. This includes some beans, two halves of a boiled egg, a chunk of bread, a red bell pepper, red and orange cherry tomatoes, and a leaf of lettuce. Just beneath this platform is a smaller platform accessible by a very short ramp. Accessing this platform will enable the camera to be panned upward, centering the food within the frame.

Dark-skinned NPCs sporting bright hair and cream-colored clothing can be found sitting on or hiding behind some of the world's rectangular structures. When approached by Minnatsuki, they will silently fade away. Among them include:

An NPC with light orange hair, found reading a book on an archway southwest from the computer that connects to Terracities
An NPC with pink hair styled into two buns, standing and peeking out from behind the corner of a structure located east of the computer
An NPC with mauve hair, sitting on a structure with legs crossed, located by going up a narrow ramp northeast from the computer and heading east once at the top

Cart

Heading north from the location of the sitting mauve-haired NPC, taking the narrow ramp to the northwest, and then heading a little ways to the northeast will lead Minnatsuki to a large, purple-and-brown wooden cart. The cart features a curved roof, patterned walls, and spoked, asymmetrically-sized wheels. At the front of the cart, below a metal lantern hanging from the roof, is a wooden door, accessible by climbing a set of wooden steps laid out before it.

Inside the cart is a bar and dining room furnished with two large wooden tables with chairs, a wooden countertop with green barstools, and a large green rug over a wood panel floor. Next to a wall cabinet behind the countertop are shelves topped with various bottles and jars. More shelves line the walls of the dining area, displaying various curios. These include a decorative plate, a maneki-neko, a model of a hand, and several potted herbs, including small specimens of those growing outside. A large version of this plant sits in a pot in the bottom-right corner of the room.

Any NPCs that have been found and witnessed vanishing outside will now be in the dining area, sitting at the table on the right side of the room. They will remain here until Minnatsuki exits the world. When interacted with from the side, they will briefly turn their heads towards Minnatsuki. The mauve and light orange-haired NPCs will make a noise, while the pink-haired NPC will remain silent, sticking their tongue out instead.

Wiping down the counter is the Bartender, a bearded figure with an appearance similar to that of the other denizens of this world. They have brown skin and hair, and wear a blue shirt underneath a purple apron. When Minnatuski steps behind the counter, the Bartender will pause their cleaning and turn their gaze towards Minnatsuki; when intercated with from here, they will make a noise.

On the wall to the left of the counter is a wooden door, behind which is a cluttered kitchen area equipped with a pantry, a counter, an iron stove, and a stovetop range. Pots of a brown liquid sit on the range and iron stove. On the counter are two oversized tomatoes and a cutting board, while hanging from the wall above it is a knife rack. The smaller of the two tomatoes has a chunk missing from it, and on the cutting board are a knife and slices of a red ingredient. A giant bulb of garlic with two cloves removed rests in the corner of the room. Flaked pieces of the garlic, along with some beans, are scattered across the kitchen.

If Minnatsuki attempts to enter the cart from outside while in the Rodentia eidolon's miniature rodent form, the Bartender will become alert and stop wiping the counter. The screen will shake and begin to turn red, a high-pitched noise will play, and Minnatsuki will be immediately booted outside to the sound of the door slamming shut. Attempting to take on this form while inside the cart will result in the same. This includes the kitchen area, though the Bartender will not be seen here.
