6.06 - TEXT ADVENTURE AHOY

So this one was something I came up on the spot with, but I think it's just time to have some fun.

I am a protagonist in a video game very similar to Final Fantasy *cough cough*. Anyone can begin an opening scene and we can run multiple adventures at a time. I will respond with a COMMAND and we'll keep going from there. It's probably best if I demonstrate this:

OPENING:

You lie awake in what appears to be your bedroom. The ceiling is drab and looks to be the colour of vomit, and there's a couple of gross spider webs at the corners. The air in the room smells unnaturally clean. Almost as if you're in a hospital. The room is quite dark, the curtains are drawn (but your face is not). The door looks as if it could fall apart at any time.

(at this point, I'll start with a command, as is general in text based games) Me: - LOOK AROUND

(here, you can respond to my command of "LOOK AROUND" with whatever you want)You: - Do I really have to repeat the opening for you? Jeez, stay awake, will you? Bedroom. Ceiling. Vomit. Hospital. Please give me something more productive to work with.

Me: - EXAMINE DOOR

You: It's locked! HOW NOW BROWN COW??

Me: - KICK DOOR

You: With a STR Stat of -12, you fail miserably. You hear a clanking sound coming from the direction of the door.

and so on and so forth! Most commands in text-based games are pretty simple. I will be providing the commands, and your job is to provide a description. Don't worry about story, just let it go wherever! If you've responded at least 3 times I'll award you 30 points (10 points for each response). Feel free to go more though!

Anyone can start their own opening if they wish. If you're not sure and you would rather not do a description, feel free to try a command as well! Generally they go in the form of VERB OBJECT ("USE KEY", "ATTACK ZOMBIE") etc.

HAVE FUN!

EDITED BECAUSE I AM UNCLEAR.

- Feel free to start an adventure by being a writer and writing an opening scene to which others can PLAY by giving you commands in response to your scene and you respond back to them.
- Feel free to PLAY an adventure by responding to other people's scenes.
- I will award 30 points to at least 3 responses (doesn't matter if you're playing or writing)

I hope that's clearer, I'm really sorry it was so confusing at the beginning!
