TEXTVENTURE - Wordplay to the EXTREME!

[Archem]

Upon listening more intensely, you hear SKELLY saying a few things about WEALTHBEARD THE SWASHBUCKLER, a seafaring adventurer from childhood fairytales. Legend has it that he BURIED his fantastic TREASURES near here, but that's only a MYTH. Boy, a TREASURE like that sure would be useful for paying your RENT.

> Look around again. Try to note any glowing objects.

[Archem]

You EXAMINE the area carefully. Off in the corner, near the DUMPSTER, you notice a GREEN GLOW. You see a similar GREEN GLOW coming from SKELLY's coat.

[fruckert]

> Pick Skelly's pocket.
> Go dumpster diving and hope that it's nothing radioactive.

[Archem]

HINDSIGHT has worn off. You are returned to the present, and can perform actions again.

[fruckert]

> Repeat last commands.

[Archem]

You try to pick SKELLY's pockets. Bad idea. He's a drugged-out pusher, so of course he's paranoid and packing heat. The hot lead from his gun burns in your chest. You fall to the ground, and SKELLY flees as your blood begins to pool. You're an idiot, and you're bad at decisions.

>ASK SKELLY ABOUT OLD MAP

[Archem]

You ask SKELLY about your OLD MAP. He begins to act very strangely, and refuses to answer your question. Still, that GOLD (PAINTED) WATCH of yours is very enticing...

[fruckert]

> Politely ask if you can have the OLD MAP back.

[Archem]

SKELLY doesn't have your OLD MAP, although he does seem to be intensely interested in it.

[fruckert]

You GASP loudly and prepare to offer your GOLD (PAINTED) WATCH in the event that SKELLY MUGS you. Instead, he reaches out slowly and grabs the folded up OLD MAP from your WALLET. Normally, people taking things from your WALLET would be rude, but you make an exception for SKELLY. Despite the occasional MUGGING, he's always been cool.
