The Sierra Text Adventure.

Post by Tawmis »

Rules: wrote: Essentially it's like an "Add your own" segment. However, the rule is that you write up to the part where the character either PICKS UP / USES an inventory item. So for example, you can write that he picks up his toothbrush and uses it to brush his teeth and keep writing, since that's not an inventory kept item. But if you write it as he picks up the toothbrush to use later, then it is an inventory item and should stop shortly after that, so the next person can add to this.

I expect it to be completely silly! But do what you will with it!

The only additional rule is please QUOTE the inventory, as items are picked up and used. That way it makes it easy for each person who adds to it to see what the character has!
Ah! Welcome to another bright day in this bleak universe Larry Wilco. The morning sun peeks through the window reminding you that - once again - you have slept entirely too late.

You slide out of bed, jump out of your PJ's. You stretch and look about. You see some quarters on the night stand and vaguely remember an intense game of playing quarters... but... most of that night is blacked out.

Wait. What's this? You're not even in YOUR apartment!

You step into your hallway, only to discover... DUM-DUM-DUUUUM! The Coke Machine of Doom! (Insert dramatic chords here). However, you realise that since you have some quarters, you can get a bottle of Coke! (Insert "Victory" SFX).

Heh. Glad it made you laugh, Collector! ;) But I was hoping more people would continue this thread. It sounds like fun. :D

Where is everyone? :(
