Twine

[guillotineGuardian]

So, here's what I'm doing. This is a typical, generic text adventure, with no plot whatsoever. Everything, as much as possible, will be driven by reader commands. What I'm going to do is construct a sort of mirror in Twine, which will easily allow me to generate an HTML page that contains the adventure, and upload that to my Dropbox for people to download/play. For future reference, you can find that HTML page right here (yes, the adventure's name is the same as this software. My IMAGINATION stat isn't as high as it probably should be). Please note, I'll take ALL your suggestions (unless it gets up to some ridiculous numbers of suggestion). It doesn't matter how ridiculous the suggestion are; I'll take them.

There is one thing I should begin with, though: school starts next Friday for me. This means that although I'll probably be able to update some, I won't be able to work in Hussie Hell Mode. Please be patient. I don't plan on abandoning this project, and I'll tell you all if I'll be going on a hiatus.

That being said, let's get started with a perfectly unique, not ridiculous prompt:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You wake up in a room. What do you do?

>_

[Doom Zero]

>Get ye flask

[Alrik]

>Wonder where the hell you are

[Shotajesus]

> Recognize this as your own room

[guillotineGuardian]

>Get ye flask

What flask? There is no flask in this room. All you see in the entirety of the room is a set of keys.

>Wonder where the hell you are

You successfully wonder where the hell you are. *YOU HAVE NO IDEA*.

> Recognize this as your own room

You attempt to recognize this as your own room. You fail miserably. You have no idea where you are, you have no idea what this room is, and you have no idea how you got here. You just kind of started to . . . exist, you know?


==>

What do you do?


>_

[Yamtaggler]

>Eat Keys

[Tam Lin]

Get ye keys

[guillotineGuardian]

>Eat Keys

You imbibe from the glorious flask before you. You're pretty sure it's alcoholic. It's all gone in the space of a minute or two.

Get ye keys

You've got your keys. You're pretty sure they're in your stomach right now. You do still have the key ring, however.


==>

What do you do?

[benevolentBaroness]

>Search for a door. Any door. Or a way out.

[guillotineGuardian]

>Search for a door. Any door. Or a way out.

There's a door directly in front of you, in fact. It's quite unhidden. There's also a window behind you, but you don't think that there's much to be done there. There are iron bars criss-crossing the opening! No, other than the door, it would appear that there's no way out.


==>

What do you do?

[Reecer6]

>Punch the window with your BARE FIST

[Yamtaggler]

>Hide your door. You don't want anyone finding it!

[guillotineGuardian]

>Punch the window with your BARE FIST

You punch the window with your BARE FIST. However, due to an inadequate BRAWNINESS stat, the window takes little damage. You're pretty sure your BARE FIST takes even less, your BRAWNINESS stat is so low.

>Hide your door. You don't want anyone finding it!

You cast TECH LVL. 1 OBJECTIONABLE OBFUSCATION to hide your DOOR. It's still there, it's simply that no one can see it any more. You see armed guards walking pass where you once saw a door.


==>

What do you do?

[benevolentBaroness]

>Ambush the guards.

[Reecer6]

>Wave to the guards, ask for an autograph

[guillotineGuardian]

>Ambush the guards.

You attempt to ambush the guards. However, even though you have OBFUSCATED the door, it is still there. As such, you end up ramming into the door, nearly passing out.

>Wave to the guards, ask for an autograph

You wave to the guards and ask for an autograph. The guards realize that there's no door anymore, and they start to rush in to secure you before you escape. This does not go well, because the door is still there. Most pass out from smacking into the door. The majority of those that don't pass out go down to the infirmary with nose bleeds. The rest fumble around with the door's keyhole, open the door, and walk in. They don't look happy.


==>

What do you do?

[benevolentBaroness]

>Stay cool. The guards ramming into the door was technically not your doing.

[Yamtaggler]

>Cast GNUUSH on guards

[Alrik]

>Act as if you didn't do anything.

[guillotineGuardian]

>Stay cool. The guards ramming into the door was technically not your doing.

You're feeling quite cool, actually. So cool you can almost feel your RAD stat popping. If you had anything assigned to your RAD stat, that is. You suppose you never got around to assigning stats.

>Cast GNUUSH on guards

Your RUNE stat isn't high enough to cast that spell! Pity too, it would have take care of everything.

>Act as if you didn't do anything.

You act as if you didn't do anything. The guards look unconvinced. They've drawn their truncheon's and are waving them in a very menacing manner.


==>

What do you do?

[Alrik]

>Get into a conversation with the guards and confuse them with a lecture about the meaning of human existence, using the symbolism of green ketchup and rotten cheese

[benevolentBaroness]

>Cast OBFUSCATION again, this time on yourself. Steal one of their truncheons and beat em up.

[guillotineGuardian]

>Get into a conversation with the guards and confuse them with a lecture about the meaning of human existence, using the symbolism of green ketchup and rotten cheese

You get into an existential conversation concerning the symbolic use of green ketchup and rotten cheese as the cultural metaphores by which man grades himself in an attempt to provide a deterministic vantage point of broad social pathologies.

The guards fail to understand you. You fail to understand yourself.

>Cast OBFUSCATION again, this time on yourself. Steal one of their truncheons and beat em up.

You successfully cast TECH LVL. 1 OBJECTIONABLE OBFUSCATION on yourself. You attempt to steal one of the guards' truncheons, sidling up to him in a discreet manner. The attempt does not yield a truncheon, as you cannot observe the arm with which you are trying to steal the truncheon. Instead of obtaining a guard's truncheon, you accidentally cop a feel instead, which results in you sailing across the room from a blow to the gut.


==>

What do you do?

[Reecer6]

>Cast UNOBFUSCATION on your eyes and the reflectors behind them

[benevolentBaroness]

>Change plans: run like the wind before they figure out where you are and catch you!
