IN TIMES OF FAMINE





A robot stands in a storeroom. It just so happens that today, the eleventh of April, is this robot's creation day.
Though it was one year ago he was created, only today will he be given life!

This robot has no name. What will he call himself?

Blue

Blue

Yes, that seems reasonable.
You don't quite understand why, but "blue" is the descriptor that comes to mind when you look upon yourself. Therefore "Blue" is a reasonably descriptive name.



You find yourself in a very strange place.
You have never seen anything like this before, in fact, you have never seen anything before.
Somehow you know about things you have never experienced and have never been explained to you, like "blue is a colour" for example. This gives you a feeling of confusion.
Maybe you should explore your surroundings to find out what is going on here?

What will you do?

[Whimbrel]

Examine happy wall socket.

[Morphimus]

Examine happy wall socket.

You examine the WALL THING.



It looks like something that has a purpose, not a decoration.
You don't know what it is though, not its function or its purpose. You knew what "blue" was before, but this is something you do not know about.
You are feeling curious. This is new to you. You think you should satisfy this curiosity.

[98714123340]

Examine the cord.

[Whimbrel]

Poke it with your metal fingers!

[Askia]

its a smiley face

[Menen]

Look at the big brown cube

[Morphimus]

Poke it with your metal fingers!

its a smiley face

You decide to poke the uh...
SMILEY FACE? for lack of a better word.



You awake moments later.
You think you were just rendered unconscious for some reason. You don't seem to have sustained any serious damage but regardless, it was not pleasant.
The SMILEY FACE? is now making something you think you have identified as "smoke".

You don't like the SMILEY FACE? anymore.

>examine the large box.

[Whimbrel]

Examine BOTH boxes

[98714123340]

Look around you.

[Wacom Guy]

Flip the cardboard box upside down LIKE A REBEL.

[Morphimus]

Look at the big brown cube

>examine the large box.

Examine BOTH boxes

You examine the OBJECT. You think it is called BROWN BOX. You like the BROWN BOX.
The BROWN BOX seems to have something on it's side.
You think it might be words?

Flip the cardboard box upside down LIKE A REBEL.

This is incredibly silly. You think you know what silly is now and this is it.

[tippertot]

>Jump on the now flipped box.

[Morphimus]

>Jump on the now flipped box.

This is so much fun! You have now discovered fun. You like fun.

What else will you discover?

[Whimbrel]

Check out grey thingy and cordy thingy

[Wacom Guy]

Plug in cord.

[Menen]

>Box: Break.

[PersonPerson]

this^

[Morphimus]

>Box: Break.

All this jumping has caused the BROWN BOX to break.





BLUE has learned: CAUSE AND EFFECT!

Check out grey thingy and cordy thingy

Plug in cord.

Author note: COMING SOON TO A THEATER NEAR YOU (PROBABLY): BLUE DOES A THING WITH A CORD-THING.

Also, You guys should post on my other adventure: Prestige Quest. Because what's the point of running a forum adventure if your not updating two at once! Seriously though, I haven't gotten to update that thing in THREE WHOLE DAYS. The agony is excruciating. Although I might not be able to update as frequently as I have been lately, what with my spastic schedule and whatnot.

[Morphimus]

Check out grey thingy and cordy thingy

Plug in cord.

You examine the CORD.



It is called CORD you think. You don't know what it does but you get a feeling it has something to do with the SMILEY FACE?.



You pick up the CORD and attempt to plug it into the SMILEY FACE?



Carefully...



Huh. It didn't do anything. You think maybe the SMOKE killed the SMILEY FACE?
You were really expecting it to do something exiting. Oh well.

[98714123340]

plug the other end into yourself.
