>Can the Third Eye see sharply?

You don't know. It's too dark to tell.

>Check my usable item slot for a coin to flip. If it lands on heads, I go left. Tails, right.

You don't have a coin.

Wait...

Your Third Eye suddenly sees your open hand. A coin is in it.

Ping.

Nothing. It's still dark here. You don't have the coin. Wherever you're looking, though, you do.

You flip the coin. It spins, end over end, tumbling into the air and back down to the stone floor. In silence, it rolls to a stop. Tails.

Your vision blinks out. You're seeing the here and now again.

With not much else to do, you go to the right. It isn't long before you reach a flight of stairs leading upward. You take them, stumbling now and then. You're dizzy. It's probably the headache and the blood you lost when you lost your eyes.

Your head bumps on something.

Ping.

It seems to be the bottom of a trapdoor.

What do you do?

>Open the trapdoor, save previous rhyme for later

The trapdoor opens with a loud, tortured creak, as if it hasn't been used in some time.

Ping.

An expanse full of clutter answers you. It seems like...

Ping.

...a sort of storage room.

Pingpingping.

Outlines return to you, in greater clarity; a disturbing clown sculpture is staring down at you. Boxes and crates are stacked in uneven heaps, and cobwebs drape from the rafters. At the far end of the room is a tall, winding stairwell.

There is a pervading silence. The smell of earth and musty carpet filters down to you.

What do you do?

^does not rhyme. in case we can't dismantle the clown though, how about:
turn this creepy clown
into something less scary
how about a crown

[up]To quote Shadow Warden, previous page:

You have acquired minor transformation (haiku). It will allow you to transform one sort of object to another, provided that the two stages of the item in question rhyme and that you can describe the transformation in an ordinary 5-7-5 haiku.

By the way, can someone tell me how to get the text to go down a line? I can't seem to do it sad

Alright, while we're on the topic of the rhyming issues, I figure I'll point something out. Shadow Warden stated that the two states of the item in question have to rhyme. Ergo, saying "cannot" and "pot" will not work if we're trying to go from "clown" to "pot". The item we're trying to transform (in this case, "clown") does not have to be at the end of a line, and neither does the item we're transforming it to.

So... what about moving text down a line? I hit Enter while typing it up but nothing happens >:(

Use /, but the reverse; the one above Enter. Put two of those at the end of each line.

my "sharp sword for fights" haiku was accepted despite it not rhyming.

stalactites, fights. rhyme. didn't you notice it transformed stalactites into enemies (i.e. "fights")? that's why we have to be careful with these.
also, thanks inceptiond! grin
