The Mental Hospital

[aspiringAnimator]

Act 1 - The Mental Hospital



You wake up in what you know to be a MENTAL HOSPITAL, but you know nothing more. The slow, steady hum of a LIGHT BULB lingers above your head. You struggle to remember your NAME, but you fear you don't have one.

What is your name?

My first adventure, I'm trying to go with the hand-made style, since that is essentially what it is. Enjoy, and please participate!

>Lightbulb is your name.

[PersonPerson]

This^

[aspiringAnimator]

Your... name... is LIGHTBULB then. Alright.

Of course it was. Even though you remember this much, you don't remember anything else. +1 to your KNOWLEDGE stat.

As you stand there, you strain to hear any signs of LIFE within the FACILITY, although your ELF-SIZED EARS hear nothing. What will you do?

>Open the hatch on the wall

[aspiringAnimator]

The HATCH will not open. You can see some sort of DIAL on it, telling you it is most likely a SAFE. Only when you can remember the correct SEQUENCE, you will be able to open the SAFE to access whatever's INSIDE.

>Wear the carpet as a CAPE

[aspiringAnimator]

ohmygod this is going to be so much fun



When you pull the CARPET up, you notice a small BUSINESS CARD on the floor.



All that's on this side of the card is some KEY symbol.



You still think you look pretty GROOVY in your green CAPE.

[Kíeros]

> Spin the business card around!

[aspiringAnimator]

Success! It appears you have found the code to the SAFE.



You store the CARD in your inventory for the time being. You are feeling pretty happy with your accomplishments so far! +1 to your MOOD.

[Kíeros]

> Well, what are you waiting for? Try the code!

[aspiringAnimator]

Of course! You try the CODE immediately.




Upon opening the SAFE, you find a small NOTE taped to the back, with what looks like a YEAR on it, which probably isn't relevant for the next few days.

You really aren't sure what to do next. Perhaps you might after getting a better look of your surroundings?

[PersonPerson]

Get a better look of your surroundings.

[aspiringAnimator]

Looking around, it seems you are in a typical HOSPITAL ROOM, only with a STEEL DOOR blocking your exit. A BED sits to your LEFT, a TELEVISION on the other wall, and a POTTED PLANT rests in the corner.

[PersonPerson]

Turn on the tv

[aspiringAnimator]

The TV turned on, but isn't receiving any reception, most likely because of the BENT wire on top. You doubt you can BEND it back into place due to your excessively low HANDYMAN trait.

It does, however, cast a neat GLOW upon the room.

[PersonPerson]

This is the best show. Continue watching. Describe the plot.

> Lightbulb: WHat's that under the bed?

[aspiringAnimator]

> Lightbulb: WHat's that under the bed?

You got the ORANGE SODA!!!

This stuff is pretty awesome. You can't wait to try it, except there's no label to it and you run the risk of raising your BLADDER gauge.

You immediately put it in your inventory for later use, unless you want to use it now.

[liquidMountain]

Inspect plant

[aspiringAnimator]

It looks DELICIOUS. Nothing to hide, really except for extremely enormous GREEN LEAVES. You can take the POT if you want, or just leave it be for the time being.

[liquidMountain]

> Attempt to get drunk with orange liquid
> turn over pot in fake/real drunkedness

[aspiringAnimator]

Unsurprisingly, the ORANGE SODA has EXPLODED from too much pressure within. It has rendered your CARPET CAPE soiled, so you stow that and the empty BOTTLE in your inventory.

> Take the pot, eat the plant, and dump out the dirt on the floor

[DMMMMMK]

Try to bend back the antenna anyway. TV is important.
