TEXTVENTURE - Wordplay to the EXTREME!

> CONSPIRACRAFT LVL 10: LIZARDMEN: Deduce that your landlord is a drug kingpin and runs the city's crime ring!

> No, wait, that's stupid.

> LOOK

[Archem]

You decide not to entertain any silly ideas about your LANDLORD, and take a LOOK around instead. It's a bit dark, but you can see that the joint is a bit MESSY. From where you are, there is a STAIRCASE in FRONT of you, with its ENTRANCE to your RIGHT. To your LEFT is a HALLWAY with a few WINDOWS providing you with what some might call "light". There appears to be a RECEPTION DESK at the far end of the HALLWAY, suggesting that the ENTRANCE is also down there.

[fruckert]

> Poke around the RECEPTION DESK, look for a key ring or something like that.

[Archem]

You approach the RECEPTION DESK in a cautious fashion. As you near the end of the HALLWAY, you see an ORANGE GLOW and hear CHATTER. You begin to think that some extra finesse may be necessary if you wish to continue.

[fruckert]

> Eavesdrop.

[Archem]

Going against everything your MOTHER taught you, you listen in on other peoples' CONVERSATION. They are talking about SKELLY. They mention his BLING, and state that someone by the name of ROCK DOG now has it in his possession. You suspect that ROCK DOG may be something of a GANG LEADER. You hear some movement from the ROOM, and FOOTSTEPS begin to approach.

[fruckert]

> HIDE!

[Archem]

HIDING sounds like a very good idea right about now. So good, in fact, that it should be ILLEGAL. In some states, it most likely is. Still, one question remains: Where should you HIDE?

[fruckert]

> Uh...staircase?

[Archem]

You run to the STAIRCASE, hoping that they aren't headed in that direction. You should try hoping harder, because those FOOTSTEPS are growing louder.

[Archem]

//Disappointed.

>MOVE UPSTAIRS, TAKE A QUICK LOOK AROUND

[Archem]

You quickly move UPSTAIRS and investigate your surroundings. You are in a HALLWAY lined with DOORS on either side. What a surprise, given that you're in an APARTMENT. There are TWO (2) DOORS on the LEFT that are BOARDED UP, and ONE (1) DOOR on the RIGHT that has been KICKED IN.

[Natako]

> Inspect the only DOOR that isn't boarded off.

[Archem]

You quickly approach the KICKED IN DOOR, and make your way into the ROOM. You appear to be in some sort of MEETING ROOM, with a large TABLE surrounded by several CHAIRS. There is another DOOR to the side of the ROOM, a large pile of TRASH BAGS (likely filled with REFUSE) in the corner, and a DRESSER on the other side of the TABLE. The FOOTSTEPS are right on your tail. Whatever you're planning on doing, do it fast.

[fruckert]

> Hide in the TRASH BAG PILE.
