[Introduction]

When play begins:
Say "You awaken on a yellow couch in a room with gray walls.  There’s a green door to the west and a purple door to the east and an elevator door to the north. As you look around you notice there’s a little laminated sign on a stand in front of you, you should probably check it out."

The sign is in the gray room. The sign is fixed in place.
Instead of examining the sign:
 say  "Good day we regret to inform you that you have died. But hey, PLEASE DO NOT PANIC! If you’re here that means you’ve made it; no fire, no brimstone, give yourself a pat on the back.
When you feel ready, please use the elevator so that we can get you situated. If the elevator is broken, please rest in one of the three rooms provided until we can get it fixed. oh, and congratulations!
There’s a line of celebratory emojis printed along the bottom of the note."

The Gray room is a room. “The room has gray painted walls adorned with oil paintings of various flowers. There’s a yellow couch and a side table."

The green door is a door. The door can be opened. The green door is west of the gray room and east of the green room.

Instead of examining The green door:
Say "It’s a green door with a silver doorknob. It has a giant Spiderman sticker stuck onto it, and a couple bird feathers taped to it that look real. There’s also a group of orange popsicle sticks that spell out the name Tyler."

The purple door is a door. The door can be opened. The purple door is east of the gray room and west of the purple room.

Instead of examining The purple  door:
Say "It’s a purple door with a gold doorknob. It has a boyband calendar pinned to it, as well as a group of teal popsicle sticks that spell out the name Quinn."

The elevator door is a openable door. The elevator door  is north of the gray room and south of The Angel's Chamber.

Instead of going north from the gray room when the player is not carrying the Tool kit, say “You arrive in front of an elevator door and decide to press the button; it's pretty much all you can do at this point.
You press the button once, then twice, then a third time, then a couple more times aggressively, but the light is still dim, and the door does not open.
You never got a degree in it, but you have some self-taught electrical knowledge. You could probably fix it if you had some gloves, a tool kit, and an instruction manual.”

The couch is in the gray room.

[The couch is enterable  and fixed in place.

Understand couches as enterable.]

The side table is in the gray room.

[The purple room]

The purple room is a room. “The room has lavender painted walls adorned with posters of different boybands and celebrities as well as lots of string lights. There’s a bed and a desk.

[Quinn]
 
Quinn is a woman in the purple room. "Quinn is laying in her bed she acknowledges you then returns to scrolling on her phone."

Asking someone about something is speech.

Instead of asking Quinn about "instruction manual/manual”, say "I feel like I saw something like that around here, but I’m waaay too busy to help you look for it; you're just gonna have to look for it yourself."
Instead of asking Quinn about "Tool kit", say "I dunno, ask the little dude in the other room. He seems like he wouldn’t know much about tools with how much time he spends gaming, but he should at least know what one looks like."


Instead of examining the desk:
Say “The lime green painted desk is flushed right in front of a window. It has a computer on top of it as well as a drawer."

The computer is on the desk. The desk is in the purple room. The computer is fixed in place.
Instead of examining computer:
Say “The computer is a thin pink HP desktop. It has a huge amount of tabs open. Most of them are Etsy pages, TikTok accounts, and YouTube videos with animals doing goofy things. Is this what she was busy doing?”

Instead of examining the book:
Say “ It’s a small paperback book with flowers and knives on the cover. Is it an erotic novel, or a Young Adult fantasy novel? The only way to find out is to read it, but you have no time to read and I have no time to write an extra story.”

[The Green Room]

Instead of going west from the gray room when the player is not carrying the instruction manual, say “You can hear the epic music and various beeps and boops but the door seems to be locked maybe try it later.”

The green room is a room. “The room has teal painted walls adorned with shelves of action figures, video games, and books mostly consisting of bird fact.

Instead of asking Tyler about "leather gloves”, say "Umm, I think I saw something like that in that gray room when I first got here."

[The Angel's Chamber]

As scary as the thought of falling through them is, you take a step forward and relies your perfectly supported. As you look across the clouds you see a woman named Diana. She seems to be having a hilarious conversation with a cherub. "

[Diana]

Diana is a woman in the Angel's Chamber. "Diana  notices you and waves you over with a smile on her face. Maybe you could ask her how to get back to earth or where to go next."

Instead of asking Diana about "how to get back to earth”, say "Oh well I’m sorry to say this but your kinda here permanently. If it were up to me, I’d pull some strings, but I don’t have that much authority ;then again maybe it’s for the best, I’d probably feel bad for everyone and cause a bit of a mess around here. she said with a laugh. My friend there is a bit of a stickler but between you and me he loves to eat human food. Even though we don’t really need it a treat or two is always nice, maybe you could sway him with something he’s never had before."

Instead of asking Diana about "where to go next", say "Just walk over to my friend over there and ask him help you finish your journey, he’ll take you to your final destination. Enjoy yourself, oh and be not afraid."

[The Cherubim]

The Cherubim is a man in the Angel's Chamber.

Instead of asking the Cherubim about "finish the journey":
Say “Its voice came in slow waves, yet its volume and bass sent vibrations through your every bone. The Cherubim is terrifying but the cool breeze its massive wings washes over you calms you; Its an angel despite its unfathomable appearance you know it wont hurt you. You hate that you can’t go back but you figure it’s for the best the earth probably doesn’t have many years left in it anyways, nor does humanity. You could use the rest, you only hope you won’t be too bored in heaven.”;
End the game in death.

Instead of asking the Cherubim about "going back to earth" while the Popeyes chicken sandwich is not carried:
Say “Its voice came in slow waves, yet its volume and bass sent vibrations through your every bone. You ask the Cherubim if you can return to earth, it simply shakes its four heads at you and assures you that you’re going to a better place. You hate that you can’t go back but you figure it’s for the best the earth probably doesn’t have many years left in it anyways, nor does humanity. You could use the rest, you only hope you won’t be too bored in heaven.”;
End the game in death.

After giving the Popeyes chicken sandwich to the Cherubim:
Say “Its voice came in slow waves, yet its volume and bass sent vibrations through your every bone. A Popeyes chicken sandwich, I am rather curious about them we’ve had a few souls come through here because of them, which if I’m correct is the only food people of modern times have died over next to alcoholic beverages. May I  have it? After giving the Cherubim the chicken sandwich, you wake up with your vision obstructed. You flail frantically at the thin fabric covering your face and as you sit up you realize you’re in a hospital room surrounded by your loved ones who seem frozen in a mixture of confusion, fear, and slow buildup of joy. You don’t know how much time you have left on earth but you’re ready to savor whatever you have left and at least, if you don’t make any drastic changes in the way you’ve been doing things, you know you get to go back when the time comes.”;
