You are a resident in a sprawling metropolis. Or at least you were, until today when you were EVICTED from your apartment. With nothing to do, you decide you are hungry, and must find FOOD.

But first, let's decide on a name, age, and gender for our helpless protagonist here. First come, first used.

Then, input your commands at the command line...

Dunno what I'm doing with this, will probably only run this for a while. If you ever played the Errant Quest game here you know what kind of game this is, albeit a much less serious and complex one.

This sounds more like an RP kinda topic.

Nope, it's a forum game topic. There's been several of these kinds of games here.

Plus, an RP is just that. Role-playing, between numerous individual people. This is just people inputting commands into what is essentially a make-it-up-as-I-go story.

Very well.

Now, if someone can provide a name, we'll be golden and can begin.

Uh...

Let's use just one name, please, and preferably something less... used.

Don't ask people for names and then get picky.

Very well.

You are Diandra, 22 years old, female, and currently homeless. The city is pretty big.

Everyone can submit commands for this game, and they can be just about anything, from interacting with mentioned items to inquiring about unmentioned items or actions. Whatever you want, within reason.

> Look around

You're near the center of the city, on Persimmon Avenue. To your left is more road, with mostly apartment buildings. There are shady alleyways between some of them. To your right is mostly restaurants and some small businesses. Across the street in front of you is an abandoned lot.

> Examine any items you own

You obviously own the clothing you're wearing. In your pocket you have a WALLET with only 14 dollars and an ID. In a BAG you're carrying, you have three WATER BOTTLES, a BAG OF CHIPS, and a BOTTLE OF EAR MEDICINE that expired two years ago.

> Look for the nearest restaurant.

The nearest restaurants to you are Bob's All-You-Can-Eat Seafood Buffet and La Cachi, a PASTA restaurant, but that one's closed due to a SUPER COCKROACH infestation.

> Head to Bob's.

You make the short walk to Bob's Buffet, and open the doors to enter. The scent of calamari and salty fish fills your nostrils. The receptionist welcomes you.

> At bob's start a fire, cook cockroaches, and eat them. They are full of protein and low on fat.

Alas, this restaurant is not cockroach-infested. You eye one of the ornate lamps wondering if you could use it to start a fire, but it seems to be electronic, not candlelit. The receptionist looks at you as you stare at the lamps.

> Tip your nonexistent hat at the receptionist.

You imaginarily reach up and pinch the brim of your imaginary hat with your index finger and thumb, before tipping it down and back up imaginarily at the receptionist. She unimaginarily gives you a confused look, as do one or two nearby patrons.

The receptionist speaks up.

Receptionist: "Umm, ma'am, would you like a table? Do you have any other people with you or are you alone?"

> Grind up chips, pour some into one of the water bottles and put some of the expired ear medicine in that bottle. Shake vigorously and keep on hand for future use.

You combine your supplies, making an EXPIRED DILUTED MEDICINE WITH CHIPS. You stand there shaking the bottle, and everyone else looks at you even more strangely.

> Slam head against counter and scream "I can't control my body!"

You proceed to do so.

It hurts.

The patrons scramble away and the receptionist pushes her chair backwards and jumps out, frightened.

> Start shouting gibberish after that and wave around the bottle as if you were a terrorist with a bomb.

You thread an epic poem of sounds and bottle-waving.

"OOOGABAKA BLARGLE HURGH!!"

The receptionist dials the police and urgently explains what's going on. The police will be arriving soon.
