>Catch sign nearby your friend Chester A. Bum
OH MY GOD THAT WAS THE GREATEST CATCH I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE!
Booby: Go through that door
You are Awesome McCoolname again, and you don't know anyone by the name of Booby. What kind of a name is that? Really now.
You go through the arch.
It's cold in here, and even with the torch, you can't see a blessed thing. The walls, floor and ceiling are bare, and uniformly black.
You feel deeply uneasy about this.
>Wear that pin. You're a vigilante taxonomist, and proud to be one.
Damn straight you are.
You wear the pin.
>Seeing as you don't have any money, do you have some way to acquire money?
You almost certainly don't have a job anymore, and all you have on you is 55p.
Your money is in a brown wallet, but you seem to have misplaced it. You're forever losing things.
> Check your stats. You probably need to prepare before facing whatever is behind the door.
You have a moderately high Sprint Meter. Your Wiki Magic and Genre Savvy gauges are looking respectable, but your Health is somewhat lower.
Your Experience Thimble is close to overflowing.
You are equipped with a deerstalker hat, a backpack, a torch (85% remaining) and a Vigilante Taxonomist pin. You have a Chelsea grin drawn on your face in red ink.
In your right pants pocket, you have a yo-yo, 55p, three Toblerone peaks and your map.
In your left pants pocket, you have a Biro, a USB flash drive, a shopping list and a short length of string.
In your shirt pocket, you have two Royal Mail rubber bands and a sachet of brown sugar.
Your backpack is full, stuffed with your bizarre household weapon with four rounds of ammunition.
You have no items stored in Hammerspace.
Your party consists of a single Teddy Bear exhibiting no unusual properties. He is not equipped with anything.
> Sit down and work on that epic novel you've been putting off starting to write.
You return to the kitchen and begin work on your novel, Jake Hawthorne and the Eye of the Hornet. It's an action-packed science fantasy romantic mystery thriller, and you're sure it will be a best seller some day.
Your Wiki Magic receives a small boost.
You can't put the torch down on the kitchen floor, so you rest it in a vase. You'll have to keep an eye on that flame. It won't last forever.

> Research Hollywood Torches as a handy upgrade.
You research Hollywood Torches. These would indeed be very handy, if you could find one. Your Genre Savvy rises a little.
> Food remains needed. Check classifieds for quick cash opportunities.
Most of these want qualifications that you don't have, but that assistant job looks like a possibility.
>Is there any information of interest on the USB flash drive?
You plug in the flash drive and open it on your computer.

Do you highlight everything looking for secret messages?> Copy the sequenceofnumerals to your computer, and download classifieds onto USB stick.
You copy sequenceofnumerals into your documents library, and save the classifieds under the filename classifiedads.
You examplidentify Zalgo.
You aren't sure what that was, but you know for certain that you didn't remove the flash drive a moment too soon.

Soul is ugly.You search the kitchen cabinets and find a likely looking bottle. You take a hearty chug.
You feel invigorated. You also feel a strong burning sensation in the caliculus gustatorius region.
>Invest into night vision goggles
As it happens, you already own a pair. They are totally sweet and would be even better than a Hollywood Torch! Unfortunately, you have no idea where they are at present.
>Take the LEGITIMATE BUSSSIIINNESSS job
You phone the Legitimate Business.
Your prospective employer is in need of assistance! He thinks you sound promising, but wishes for you to apply in person at the diner on the corner of Can Street and Greenwich Street.
You are familiar with the diner in question. It is indeed a legitimate establishment. They don't come any legitimater, actually.

It'll be a challenge, but you'll do your best!
>Examplidentify Blazing Inferno Hellfire Sauce.
You examplidentify the hot sauce. How is this stuff even legal? But it's awesome so who cares.
Something troubling seems to have happened to your Wiki Magic meter following your encounter with Zalgo. You're not sure what will happen if you try to use it, and nor are you particularly eager to try.
> Before going out, how about a shower? Look your best.
You take a refreshing (and much needed) shower.
The ink on your face is washed off.
You emerge from the shower, dripping with water.
Your empty Dirt Meter is a proud testament to your cleanliness.
Unfortunately, you do not have any clean towels.

Do you highlight everything looking for secret messages?Gah, ninja'd. Sorry, afraid I won't be able to do all suggestions. In future, assume that when I receive contradicting suggestions, I'll just pick whatever is first/whatever is funnier.
> Use the Blazing Inferno Hellfire Sauce's heat to dry off.
You take another large gulp of hot sauce. All the water evaporates. Your Health and Sprint Meters rise accordingly.
There are no bathroom windows, just a vent, and it's far too small for a person to crawl through.
You look out the front hall window, but see no pirates, only that slightly creepy old lady who lives opposite. Hi, slightly creepy old lady.
>You use some of the remaining string to rig up the pee-soaked umbrella stand above the window
, so that it will drop on the head of anyone who tries to force the window in.
The pirates might be hiding. They might even be ninja pirates, and then there's no way you would see them. It pays to be prepared for the worst.
Welcome To TV Tropes | How To Write An Example | Text Formatting Rules | List Of Shows That Need Summary | TV Tropes Forum | Know The StaffAfter much searching, you finally find a pair of clean underwear. You really need to do some laundry.
However, now you are faced with a dilemma.
How can you transport all the items from your inventory to the interview without pockets? And how can you wow your prospective employers with your stunningly creative inventory usage if you don't?
