The walls are a dull cream, and the floor is faded linoleum. It's probably the most boring room you've ever been in. You've gotta get out of here. An old wooden coat rack stands right by the front door. It looks like some vintage piece that was picked up in a garage sale somewhere. On coat rack are a red jacket and a striped scarf. You can also see a bedroom door, a living room door, a red door and a potted fern here. >take all red jacket: Taken. keychain: Taken. striped scarf: You're carrying too many things already. >wear jacket You put on the red jacket. >take scarf Taken. >wear it You put on the striped scarf. >x it A hand-knitted scarf is hanging on the coat rack. It's striped in many unevenly distributed pastel shades. >search jacket You find nothing of interest. >x it A red nylon wind breaker is hanging on the coat rack. >take wind breaker You can't see any such thing. >l Entrance The entrance to the apartment is pretty bare-bones, but it leads to most of the other rooms in the apartment: the bedroom, living room, and kitchen.

You can also see a bedroom door, a living room door, a red door and a potted fern here. >i You are carrying: a striped scarf (being worn) a keychain a red jacket (being worn) >x keychain A spare set of house keys is attached to a cupcake-shaped keychain, bright pink, squishy transparent gel with a little gel cherry on top. >eat cherry You can't see any such thing. >eat gel You can't see any such thing. >x fern The fern is about as tall as your knee. You don't recognize its species, but the leaves are fine, and look silky to the touch. >eat it That's plainly inedible. >search it You find nothing of interest. >take it That's fixed in place. >move it It is fixed in place. >x red door The door is as red as delicious, sweet cherries, but quite locked. >unlock it What do you want to unlock the red door with? >key You can't see any such thing. >unlock it with keys You can't see any such thing. >x keys You can't see any such thing. >x key You can't see any such thing. >open bedroom door You open the bedroom door. >enter bedroom Bedroom The bedroom is dominated by the double bed in one corner. The bed is covered with a bedspread in a bold, multi-colored pattern, which makes the small room seem even smaller. Other than the bed, all other furniture is small and shabby and jammed into any available nook. A window in the outer wall lets in just a little natural light. The candle is as thick around as a coffee mug, the color of vanilla cream, and has a slice of orange and a stick of cinnamon sunk in the wax. You can see a bedroom door, a bathroom door, window-sill (on which are a geode and a velvet bag (closed)) and bed here. >x bed A big double bed that squats in the corner and takes up most available space. The bedspread is patterned in a dizzying array of colors, though it does brighten up the place quite a bit. >search it There is nothing on bed. >x bedspread You can't see any such thing. >look under bed You find nothing of interest. >x window Looking out the window only shows you the unmarked brick wall of the building across from yours. This uninspiring view is framed by a cheerful frill of colored fabric along the top of the window, and the cluttered window-sill along the bottom. >open it It's been jammed since before you moved here. >take candle Taken. >x it A regular candle. It looks tasty. >eat it You take a bite out of the candle, but it tastes just awful. >take slice You can't see any such thing. >x stick You can't see any such thing. >x cinnamon You can't see any such thing. >x orange You can't see any such thing. >burn candle This dangerous act would achieve little. >take bag You're carrying too many things already. >drop candle Dropped. >take bag Taken. >x it A small pouch made out of dark blue crushed velvet, with frayed gold embroidery. It's full of small, hard objects. >open it You open the velvet bag, revealing a dice. >take dice You're carrying too many things already. >x dice An assortment of many-sided dice in various luminous, deliciously bright colors: red, turquoise, violet, yellow, pink. >eat dice You shove the candy into your mouth but it tastes like plastic. A lot less colorful than it looks. You spit it back out into your hand. >i You are carrying: a velvet bag (open) a dice a striped scarf (being worn) a keychain a red jacket (being worn) >put candle in bag (first taking the candle) You're carrying too many things already. >eat keychain You take a bite out of the keychain, but it tastes just awful. >put it in bag You put the keychain into the velvet bag. >take candle Taken. >put it in bag You put the candle into the velvet bag. >take geode Taken. >x it A cross section of an amethyst geode the color of grape jelly, flat and thick and about the size of your whole palm. >eat it This tastes like rock! Gross. >put it in bag You put the geode into the velvet bag. >open bathroom door You open the bathroom door. >enter bathroom Bathroom The bathroom is tiny and the door opens inwards. You can barely maneuver in it at all. You can glimpse your own face in the mirror above the sink, which is liberally covered in water stains. It clearly hasn't been cleaned in a while. You can see a bathroom door, sink (on which are a vitamin bottle (closed), a toiletries and a potpourri), a shower (in which are a sponge and a large bottle (closed)) and a mirror here. >x mirror A small, water-stained mirror hangs above the bathroom sink. >close door You close the bathroom door. >x door You see nothing special about the bathroom door. >smash mirror Violence isn't the answer to this one. >eat it That's plainly inedible. >x sink The standing sink is small, barely managing to support the clutter of half-used toiletries that adorn it. On sink are a vitamin bottle (closed), a toiletries and a potpourri. >take bottle Which do you mean, the vitamin bottle or the large bottle? >vitamin Taken. >x it A bottle of chewable multi-vitamins. Someone is worried about your health. >open it You open the vitamin bottle, revealing a chewy pill. >eat pill You tip one chewy pill into your palm and down it. It tastes like not getting scurvy, but maybe you should eat some real food, too. >put vitamin in bag You put the vitamin bottle into the velvet bag. >take toiletries Taken. >x it A dish full of shapeful soaps in appetizing colors, plus a few bottles half-full of viscous liquids. >eat it That's plainly inedible. >x soap Which do you mean, the soap dish, the pink soap, the red soap or the orange soap? >x soap dish On the sink is a plastic soap dish shaped like a character from an obscure 90s children's cartoon. In the soap dish are a pink soap, a red soap and an orange soap. >eat pink soap You take a bite out of the pink soap, but it tastes just awful. >put it in bag (first taking the pink soap) You're carrying too many things already. >i You are carrying: a toiletries a velvet bag (open) a vitamin bottle (open) Pills a chewy pill a geode a candle a keychain a dice a striped scarf (being worn) a red jacket (being worn) >drop toiletries Dropped. >put pink soap in bag (first taking the pink soap) You put the pink soap into the velvet bag. >eat red soap You take a bite out of the red soap, but it tastes just awful. >put it in bag (first taking the red soap) You put the red soap into the velvet bag. >eat orange soap You take a bite out of the orange soap, but it tastes just awful. >put it in bag (first taking the orange soap) You put the orange soap into the velvet bag. >l Bathroom The bathroom is tiny and the door opens inwards.

They look... crunchy. >smell it Mmm, spicy. >eat it Won't it make a cool sound when you stuff it in your leaf hole? >put it in bag You put the potpourri into the velvet bag. >smell red soap Mmm. Cherry cola. >put it in bag (first taking the red soap) You put the red soap into the velvet bag. >smell pink soap Mmm.

Three-in-one soap, shampoo and conditioner, and the label shows a spoonful of honey and oatmeal grains. Yum. >open it Oh, that smells nice. What is it? >eat it The bottle is hard white plastic, but inside is a thick, glossy, mellifluous liquid that's all too appetizing. *** Run-time problem P10: Since the large bottle is not allowed the property "bitten", it is against the rules to try to use it. >open it Oh, that smells nice.

The windows are half-shuttered but let in enough sunlight to illuminate the pale floral wallpaper and abstract geometric rug. On the coffee table are a glass ashtray and several magazines.

It's perfectly clean and may never have seen a cigarette butt in its short, glassy life. >smell it You smell nothing unexpected. >eat it That's plainly inedible. >x magazines About a half-dozen outdated issues of lifestyle magazines and houseware catalogues.

It looks comfy, but inedible. >open study That's already open. >enter study Study The study is small and cramped, and smells like old paper. The walls are painted an uncomfortably dark shade of maroon, and the only window is too small and high up on the wall to open. You can see a study door, desk (on which are a pencil box (closed), a paperweight and a spiral notebook (empty)) and chair (on which is a cushion) here. >open pencil You open the pencil box, revealing a blue pencil, a red pen, a sharpener and an eraser. >eat blue pencil That's plainly inedible. >x it It's just a regular gray graphite pencil, but the blue coating already has some tooth marks scraped into it, and the eraser at the end is gone. >smell it You smell nothing unexpected. >put it in bag (first taking the blue pencil) You put the blue pencil into the velvet bag. >x red pen These cheap red pens come packaged by the dozen, and always bleed a little ink when you inadvertently stick the tail end between your teeth when you're thinking. What happened to all the rest of them? >eat it That's plainly inedible. >put it in bag (first taking the red pen) You put the red pen into the velvet bag. >x sharpener A plastic pencil sharpener the size of your thumb, but fancifully shaped like a little golden-brown croissant. >smell it You smell nothing unexpected. >eat it Whoa! That has a blade in it, you know. >put it in bag (first taking the sharpener) You put the sharpener into the velvet bag. >x eraser A scented eraser shaped like a large, flat strawberry.

The enticing blue fluid is cleverly trapped between two layers of glass. You lick the pretty red cherries, but they're also glass, and taste of nothing in particular. >put it in bag (first taking the paperweight) It's a good thing the window is closed, or your important bills might fly away.

The walls are a dull cream, and the floor is faded linoleum. It's probably the most boring room you've ever been in. You've gotta get out of here. An old wooden coat rack stands right by the front door. It looks like some vintage piece that was picked up in a garage sale somewhere. You can also see a living room door, a bedroom door, a red door and a potted fern here. >x red door The door is as red as delicious, sweet cherries, but quite locked. >open it You open the cherry-red door, letting out a flood of hot air carrying the mixed aromas of many cooking foods. You can't help but salivate, just a little bit. You're so hungry. Kitchen The kitchen is crowded with tantalizing smells. Steam is rising from several pots on the stove, and the oven light is on. You can see a red door, oven (closed), a stove (on which are a big pot, a small pot and a saucepan), a kitchen table, Ina's chair, your chair and Ina here. >x ina She's been waiting for you with dinner ready this whole time. That's so sweet of her. >talk to ina That's not a verb I recognise. >smell ina You smell nothing unexpected. >eat ina She's plainly inedible. >x oven The light is on in the oven, and a beautiful aroma is drifting out of it. Something is baking. A pie. >x pie You see nothing special about pie. >open oven Ina glares at you reprovingly. "Don't touch! It's hot." >x pot Which do you mean, the big pot or the small pot? >big A big chrome pot with the lid on is keeping warm over a low flame. >open it Ina glares at you reprovingly. "Don't touch! It's hot." >open small Ina glares at you reprovingly. "Don't touch! It's hot." >ask ina about food She smiles. "I made a bunch of everything. What do you want to try first? I have soup, rice and pie." >ask ina about soup There is no reply. >say soup (to Ina) There is no reply. >eat soup Ina gets out two soup bowls and fills them three quarters full of onion soup, setting a bag of croutons and a bowl of grated parmesan on the kitchen table between them. You're famished and can't wait to eat. The garlic in the croutons sets off the sweetness of cooked onions perfectly, and you eat quickly, before they have time to get soggy. >eat rice Ina uncovers the large pot and spoons out heaping helpings of jasmine rice for each of you, smothering it with thick mushroom sauce from the saucepan. You're still hungry, and everything smells delicious. Your plate is heaping with jasmine rice, with rich mushroom sauce pooling on the side, earthy and savory down to the last bite. Ina smiles at you over the empty bowls and plates and asks, "How was it?" >delicious That's not a verb I recognise. >say thank you (to Ina) There is no reply. >thank ina She smiles, and her eyes crinkle at the corners when she says, "That's so sweet!" >eat pie Ina carefully takes the sweet potato pie out of the oven and cuts each of you a generous piece, setting the plate on the kitchen table before your seat. You're still hungry, and everything smells delicious. The pie is sweet and spicy in just the right measure, and soft enough to be cut with the side of your fork. It melts in your mouth. >thank ina She smiles, and her eyes crinkle at the corners when she says, "That's so sweet!" *** The End *** Would you like to RESTART, RESTORE a saved game, QUIT or UNDO the last command? >
