TEXTVENTURE - Wordplay to the EXTREME!

[Archem]

You gear up to take a step into the unknown. The secret room seems dark and foreboding, but your SPIRIT OF ADVENTURE simply will not tolerate cowardice. You take a step in, and the WASHING MACHINE returns to its original location, sealing you in. The darkness engulfs you, and the world is shut out. A menacing buzz rings out, and you instantly regret your decision. With no light, no knowledge of where you are, and an overwhelming fear plaguing your mind, you begin to panic. You hear FOOTSTEPS approaching, making you feel even more vulnerable.

END OF CHAPTER TWO (2)

CHAPTER III - DEN OF BADNESS

As your eyes adjust to the darkness, you see that you are in a TUNNEL. You don't believe it's an approved addition to the complex. The FOOTSTEPS begin to fade, but the message is clear: You are not alone here. Perhaps it would be a good idea to feel around for an EXIT.

[fruckert]

> Feel around yourself, looking for an EXIT.

> Charge down the hall, shouting profanities and being silly.

[Archem]

You wander about, feeling around for anything that can take you out of this dark hell, when your SPECIAL ABILITY activates again. You trip over something, slam into a WALL, and fall backwards onto whatever it was that you tripped over, hitting your head on it. Having recently recovered from a HEAD INJURY, you fear a CONCUSSION may be pending. Still, you grab the mysterious item. After a bit of feeling around, you discover that the item is, miraculously, a LANTERN. It's likely fueled by BATTERY, as it seems to be made of plastic.

ACTIVATE LANTERN (Y/N)?

[fruckert]

> Y

[Archem]

You activate the LANTERN, and see a surprisingly short TUNNEL in front of you, with a DOOR at the end.

[Natako]

> Proceed down the TUNNEL.
> Inspect the DOOR.

[Archem]

You tread lightly down this eerie TUNNEL, trying not to trigger your SPECIAL ABILITY. As you reach the DOOR, you hear the FOOTSTEPS approaching again. In the interest of safety, your DOUSE the LIGHTS.

[Archem]

>HIDE BEHIND THE DOOR

[Archem]

//Watch for the bold joke.

You hide in the CORNER behind the DOOR, preparing for the worst. It seems that this BOLD move was worth the effort, as the DOOR opens, and an unidentified man walks into the TUNNEL. He seems to be having trouble finding the LIGHT SWITCH. Not much different from you, is he?

[fruckert]

> Walk into door.

> Erm...walk into the room.
> Be stealthy.

[Archem]

You walk into the DOOR, slamming your face. Despite possibly breaking your NOSE, the bang is surprisingly quiet, and doesn't ALERT your new friend. You slip into the ROOM and notice that there is a manual LOCK on the DOOR KNOB. You begin forming an IDEA that may increase your STEALTHINESS.

[Archem]

>CLOSE THE DOOR AND LOCK THE GUY IN

[Archem]

You swiftly close the DOOR and lock it up tight. The fellow on the other end bangs on the DOOR rather energetically, however, the DOOR seems to be rather SOUND-PROOF. That explains why your FACEDOOR action earlier on was so quiet, you guess. It's funny, though. You could swear that the muffled banging sounds just like your LANDLORD.

[Archem]

//Can someone do something before I have to force things along myself again? Not that I'd mind playing this myself, but it's less interesting.
