Adventure, Ho!

You awake to find yourself in a dark room.

>LOOK

You see nothing but BLACKNESS.

Except for all the LIGHT. In fact, the room was not dark at all, you had simply forgotten to open your eyes. Silly you!

The room is largish, as small rooms go. There is a DESK, propped up on BRICK(s) on one side. There is a WINDOW on the NORTH wall. There does not appear to be a door.

>TAKE remaining desk legs

The DESK falls to the floor in mild disappointment. You know that, if it could, it would be quite upset. But it can't. It's a DESK, not a person. What are you, an idiot or something? DESK(s) don't have feelings!

ADDED DESK LEG(s)x2 TO INVENTORY

>KICK desk while it's down
>THROW 1x DESK LEG(s) out WINDOW to show it I mean business

You imagine the DESK feels quite bad about itself. You know you would.

The WINDOW cracks and breaks as the DESK LEG goes flying out into the WILD BLUE YONDER. You hear a CRY OF PAIN, and you realize that you probably hit an INNOCENT PEDESTRIAN.

>take BRICK
>poke head out WINDOW
>shout "There's more where that came from if you don't straighten up and fly right!"

ADDED BRICK TO INVENTORY

You see a MASKED MAN holding DESK LEG(s)x2 on the ground, with the DESK LEG you threw at him laying next to his head.

A second MASKED MAN looks up to you and shakes his FIST.

>"You don't stand a chance against the Boss, Kid! Forget it, it's CHINATOWN!"

>attempt to blame DESK

The DESK asks you in short breaths to tell it's children that it won't be home for CHRISTMAS. It's sorry that it FAILED YOU as a PARTNER, but it has FAITH in YOU to finish what YOU STARTED TOGETHER.

DESK HAS DIED

>loot DESK

You find a POLICE BADGE and a PICTURE inside the DESK, along with your trusty WRISTWATCH.

ADDED TO INVENTORY

>look ALL ITEMS

The PICTURE is of the DESK and it's WIFE AND CHILDREN. You are the PHOTOGRAPHER. You REMEMBER THAT DAY, the day of the POLICE PICNIC.

The POLICE BADGE has the name 'Desk, Wood N.' written on it.

Your WRISTWATCH, given to you by your FATHER, is a SACRED MEMENTO of your FAMILY.

>Pop open WRISTWATCH, scrounging for BATTERIES

The WRISTWATCH is now UTTERLY DESTROYED. So much for FAMILY HONOUR, you JERKASS.

ADDED BROKEN WRISTWATCH TO INVENTORY

ADDED BATTERIES TO INVENTORY

>Open FAMILY HONOUR, scrounging for loose change

Your complete LACK OF UNDERSTANDING of the idea of the NONPHYSICAL completely eludes me.

ADDED LOOSE CHANGE TO INVENTORY

>leave office

Good thing you found that DOOR! Remember that SERIES OF TASKS you HAD TO COMPLETE in order to find it? Those were GOOD TIMES.

You are now in a hallway. You see YOUR BOSS.

>throw WRISTWATCH at BOSS. Go back in office and close door.

The BOSS, enraged by your LACK OF RESPECT, reminds you that LOOSE CANNONS who PLAY BY THEIR OWN RULES are UNACCEPTABLE!

Your OFFICE is ON FIRE.

>INV

You of course realize that FUCKING AROUND in the CONVOLUTED INVENTORY SYSTEM is probably a BAD IDEA.
