TEXTVENTURE - Wordplay to the EXTREME!

[Archem]

Against your better judgement, you decide that the best course of action is to HIDE amongst the RUBBISH. Perhaps you'll catch a glimpse of your unknowing pursuers while you hide. As you bury yourself in the most foul-smelling mess you've seen since you left your APARTMENT, the FOOTSTEPS and the PERSONS attached to them round the corner. You manage to settle down just in time to avoid DETECTION, lucky you. There are FIVE (5) GANG MEMBERS taking their seats at the TABLE. They seem to be relaxing. A SIXTH man comes from the other ROOM with several BEERS, and settles down with the rest of them. After a few minutes, one more man enters, and takes a seat at the HEAD of the TABLE. The other men quickly cease their conversations, and focus their attention on what you assume to be their LEADER. Is this that ROCK DOG guy that they were talking about earlier?

You once again ignore your mother's WORDS OF ADVICE, and listen in on other peoples' conversation. From the sounds of it, these fellows have a rather limited VOCABULARY that consists largely of OBSCENITIES. The vulgar display would be enough to make a hearty SAILOR blush. You struggle not to grow too RED yourself, and perk up your EARS. Their almost CAVEMAN speaking is vaguely comprehensible, but you get the point: SKELLY happened to mention both the MAP and your plans during a SHAKEDOWN earlier today. Just how many HOURS passed while you were BLEEDING on the LAUNDROMAT FLOOR? Well, things certainly have become more complicated, haven't they? After a while longer, the VARIOUS VULGAR VILLAINS dispatch, likely headed off to stand GUARD, waiting for YOU. Great.

[Archem]

The THUGS have left the BUILDING (or, at least, the ROOM), so it seems like a good time to get out of this mess pile. Perhaps you should INVESTIGATE the area a little. Cautiously, of course, as someone may show up at any time.

[Archem]

You pick up the CARTRIDGE and BLOW on the GOLD CONNECTION PINS. SOAKED in SALIVA the CARTRIDGE is re-inserted into the CONSOLE.

INPUT - "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

You SCREAM loudly, realizing only a moment too late that you're still in the IN THE PRESENCE OF ENEMIES. Holy hyperlinks, Batman! You'd better HIDE before someone comes!

[Archem]

//So we get this thing rolling again, and nobody posts? This isn't a one-man show, guys. That's just boring.

[Archem]

The filthy ROOM has a TABLE, several CHAIRS, a small MOUNTAIN OF TRASH BAGS (AND TRASH), an OPEN DOOR to the HALLWAY, and an unexplored DOOR to another ROOM.

> EXPLORE the unexplored DOOR

[Archem]

You explore the DOOR. It's a fine DOOR, made of a premium-grade LUMBER, and a KNOB of STEEL. But enough about that, someone is coming! You DIVE into the ROOM, fearing the worst. Oh, it's a KITCHEN. Cozy.
