Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it

Thanksgiving Speed-IF walkthrough
In this tiny minimalistic work that satisfies the premise of the speed-if in which it was entered, you play as someone in a walled quadrangle surrounded by all items in the premise. An exit leads east.

Cracked stone pathways meander around an unwalled maze of overgrown gardens. A crumbling wall encloses the quad, with an archway leading out to the east.

You can see a top hat, a dragonfly*, a small crystal ball, two optical prisms, a water pistol, a magnifying glass, a bowtie, a jar of silica, a polished piece of labradorite, a bow and arrow, an archer's arm guard, and a bismuth crystal here.

You examine the dragonfly
You ordered a dragonfly, and this would be it, were it not missing. Instead, it's an empty box.

Jaunty.

You examine the crystal ball
Escher might have contemplated one of these.

(first taking the archer's arm guard)
You can't wear that.

Drink silica
You can't consume the jar of silica, or that's not the way to do so.

You examine the crystal
Which do you mean, the 1) small crystal ball or the 2) bismuth crystal?

(the small crystal ball)
Escher might have contemplated one of these.

You examine the bismuth crystal
A heavy lump of strangely lustrous crystal. Its stairstep pattern makes the iridescent colors even more striking.

You look at the labradorite
Labradorite ((Ca,Na)(Al,Si)4O8), a feldspar mineral, is an intermediate to calcic member of the plagioclase series. It is usually defined as having "%An" (anorthite) between 50 and 70. The specific gravity ranges from 2.68 to 2.72. The streak is white, like most silicates. The refractive index ranges from 1.559 to 1.573. Twinning is common. As with all plagioclase members the crystal system is triclinic and three directions of cleavage are present two of which form nearly right angle prisms. It occurs as clear, white to gray, blocky to lath shaped grains in common mafic igneous rocks such as basalt and gabbro, as well as in anorthosites.

Well, at least that's what Wikipedia says. This particular piece is nearly clear.

Rub labradorite
Rubbing the polished piece of labradorite would have no effect in these circumstances.

You go east
Stone walls and wood floor, dusty from long disuse. The ancient dust is pristine and untouched. An overgrown garden is visible through an archway to the west, and a hallway leads north.

You examine the dust
Decades or perhaps centuries of dust.

Go west

You go to the east
Stone walls and wood floor, dusty from long disuse. Footprints have been left in the ancient dust. An overgrown garden is visible through an archway to the west, and a hallway leads north.

Go north
Well. Yeah. The asterisk and the title, that's all there really are here. (And a little bit of work on the dragonfly*, of course.)
If you want to go be amused by the asterisk some more, go south; to "win", go north.
