Text Adventure
-
So, the idea behind this thread is that we are going to construct our own text adventure. What happens is, at the end of each post, a person leaves a prompt with a command, like so:
> look around
The next poster must then write the output of that command, and then write his own command to be answered at the bottom of his post.
There will also be a small set of generally recognized abbreviations:
> i -- > check inventory
> e -- > east (same for all cardinal directions, including stuff like nw)
> l -- > look around
> l <object/person> -- > look at <object/person>
> t <person> <words> -- > tell <person> <words>.
for clarity, please leave a line between your answer and your command.
This is a text adventure, no pictures please.If two people post an answer at the same time, ignore the second answer and command.
No game overs.
(Regarding realism, this is a mixed bag. A realistic adventure is fun. But so is an adventure filled with cyborgs and random stuff breaking through half of the house. Just try to keep it to one of the extremes. A half realistic adventure is not fun at all.)
(Regarding reseting, try to only do this if the main character dies, or has basically no more options. Do not reset to arbitrarily end a story path you do not like.)
---RULE UPDATE (Triclops200)---
No unneccessary pain/death/injury. This is not "Bad Luck Brian."

Now, let me start this.
----------------------------------
You are in your bed, and your room is pitch black. You have a lamp on the left side of your bed on top of a small desk, might be smart to turn that on.
> turn on lamp -
The light turns on for a second before you hear a slight "pop."
You mutter "d***it" under your breath and berate yourself for using an incandescent bulb.

After pondering how a burnt bulb could turn back on, you walk over to the light switch.
>flip switch
-
You hear a huge pop from your bathroom. Your fuse box is in your bathroom. The lights are still out.
> walk to bathroom
-
After cursing the electricians who worked on your house, you walk over to the fusebox. There are several multicolored switches. They remind you of your art project due today. You shudder at the thought of Ms. Kunstfrau and her weirdly colored wig and how she seems like your great aunt; smells like her, too. Anyways, you get back to the task at hand.
>fix fuses

You have no idea how to fix a fuse. Luckily, your fully charged laptop is sitting in a pile of clothes in your room. Time to look up the answer!
> go back to your room.
-
You stumble back to your room.
>Turn on laptop
