"You Have to Free the Manatee" by Bumblepuppy The Science Lab is a room. "You are a scientist who works in a science lab. It is a drab, grey place, but you do not mind it so much because it is quiet enough for you to complete your vague scientific experiments. Your coworkers, however, do not agree with your views. They prefer energetic environments, which is why they are having a party in the room to the east. They extended the invitation to you, but you're too shy to join them. There is a large aquatic tank that contains a lone manatee. ". The description of a thing is usually "[the noun] is incredibly scientific." A table is here. "In the center of the lab is a long, sleek table." It is a supporter. Some science books are on the table. "It is cluttered with science books and instruments." The description of science books are "You see multiple tomes with whimiscal titles, such as 'How To Science With Your Eyes Closed', 'Transporting Large Mammals Out of Science Labs', and 'My Accidental Clone (And Other Fun Science Stories)'. " 'Transporting Large Mammals' is here."..." The description is "You open 'Transporting Large Mammals Out of Science Labs'. It reads 'The best and most exciting way of transporting aquatic mammals out of science labs is to use a jetpack. Trebuchets can also be used, given the science lab is big enough. When push comes to shove, you could probably get a big coat or a blanket, if it's like a baby dolphin or something.'" Understand "transporting large mammals" or "mammals" or "Transporting" or "2nd book" or "second book" or "'transporting large mammals out of science labs'" or "transporting large mammals out of science labs" as 'Transporting Large Mammals' A manatee is here. It is scenery. Party is a scene. Party begins when play begins. Party ends when the time since Party began is 11 minutes. Every turn during party, say "[one of]The party rages on. They're playing some pretty sick tunes in there! [or] They're still partying. It's rather loud. [or] The partying continues. You hope you can get some cake after they leave. [or] The partiers continue to party, and the manatee continues to manatee. [or]Your co-workers are still partying, and you're still shy and nervous. [at random]". Instead of going to the Science Meeting Room when Party is happening, say "A loud and intimidating party is going on inside this room. You are very shy and nervous when it comes to social situations like this one. You're going to stay with the manatee.".; When Party ends: say "The party is over, and the guests have left. You sigh with relief."; Instead of taking scenery, say "That would be too easy." the description of manatee is "You walk up to the manatee. She is a very friendly manatee--probably your closest friend in the entire science lab. You call her Shirley, and she is the first creature you go to talk to when you want to talk about non-scientific things. However, you know that Shirley would rather be off the coast of Mexico, chilling with her manatee brethren. Unfortunately, it's difficult to smuggle a 1000 lb sea cow out of a science lab, and you've been caught every time. But not this time!" The Science Meeting Room is east of The Science Lab. "A spacious meeting room where many work parties are held. Now that the activity is over, the room is littered with manatee-shaped balloons and party hats." A cake is here. "Oh look, they left some cake!" The cake is edible. The description of the cake is "A carrot cake with buttercream icing, lovingly decorated with a fondant manatee.". After eating the cake, say "Don't mind if I do!". A briefcase is here. It is a container. The briefcase is closed and openable. Inside the briefcase is a jetpack. "Oh no! You left your briefcase here!" The tank ladder is a door. The tank ladder is north of the Science Lab. It is open. The Manatee Tank is north of the tank ladder. "By climbing a ladder, you have reached the top of the Manatee Tank." Instead of dropping the jetpack: say "You put on the jetpack and call Shirley the Manatee over. You give her a hug and turn on your jetpack, lifting her out of the tank. She makes a confused manatee sound, but you reassure her that she will be reunited with her bretheren soon. To Mexico!"; end the game in victory.
