Bo taps his foot impatiently. Pam wrings her hands anxiously." The desk is in Dwanye's Apartment. The chair is in the Dwanye's Apartment. The bed is in Dwanye's Apartment to the left of the bed. The description of the desk is "It is a mundane desk that you like but your girlfriend hated." The description of the chair is "It is wobbly and should be replaced soon."

We must break into DaFinest Lawn Pro Step 3 and steal the formula within the next 24 hours in order to stop this genocide! We leave immediately. We can go northeast via your balcony and fly to the fortress entrance or we can go south through your front door downstairs through the street."

The Sky is north of the balcony. After going to Sky: say "The Sky is cloudless, streaked with shades of orange, pink, and purple. The sun shines behind you as it creeps towards the horizon. You, Pam, and Bo are flying purposefully towards DaFinest Lawn Pro Step 3 as the umbrae below you between the buildings grow. You are all halfway to your destination when, suddenly, you are all assaulted by the Evil Firefly Legion's Stealth Division 8 - snipers - in the dim light of the last rays of sun as it disappears below the horizon."; end the game in death. The Hallway is a room. "The Hallway is dimly lit. Every few steps, a lightbulb flickers inauspiciously. The carpeted floor is stained with grey patches of an unknown substance. The walls are painted a sickening shade of dull yellow. The front door to Dwanye's Apartment is north. The Streets is northeast." The front door is north of the Hallway. The Streets is a room. "You are on the Streets just outside of your apartment complex. It is now nothing but a shadow of its former self. Buildings that once hosted a flurry of life and activity seem to loom ominously, their only purpose now to cast large shadows on gray concrete. You notice that the only occupants of the roads and sidewalks are members of the Evil Firefly Legion, on the prowl for potential victims to terrorize. To the west is Flymart, and to the north is the entrance to DaFinest Lawn Pro Step 3." The Street is northeast of the Hallway. Flymart is a room. "Flymart, once a glorious symbol of capitalism, has clearly seen better days. You notice empty racks of clothing knocked carelessly onto the ground and scattered store items, both evidence of a ransacking."

The cash box is a closed openable container. In the cash box is money. The female firefly suits are wearable. Flymart is west of the Streets. The description of the feminine hygiene products is "Pads, tampons, cups, they have everything here. You reminisce on the days you would buy them for Pam when she ran out and was feeling low. Since it's the practically the apocalypse, maybe you should take some for her... Nevermind, she would probably slap you." The description of the ointment is "You ponder over taking the wing cream, they HAVE been feeling a little dry lately..." The description of the oversize stuffed monkey is "Aw... so cute! You are immediately taken by its soft brown fur and adorable face. You feel comforted that despite the horrible environment, there is some good left in the world." The description of the female firefly suits is "Huh. That is a scarily accurate costume. Even Bo could probably work that thaaang." Understand "female firefly suit", "firefly suits", "firefly suit", "suit", "suits", "female suits", "female suit" as female firefly suits. The description of the tennis racket is "The metal frame feels cold and hard in your hands. Its wires are strung tautly in the center of the racket. You don't think you'll play tennis anytime soon but..." Understand "racket", "tennis", "racquet" as tennis racket. The description of the rope is "The package says it's 20 meters and made from yellow nylon." The description of the sword is "The metal glints in the light of the florescent ceiling lights. The hilt is made of leather, and feels comfortable in your hands. You wonder why no one has bothered to take this sword. I mean, it's a SWORD!" The description of the cash box is "You shake it and hear a faint rustling sound. What could it be?" The description of the money is "$1000? Daz a lot of moolah!" Entrance to DaFinest Lawn Pro Step 3 is a room. "You light up your derrière in order to see, as night has fallen and without your bioluminescence you wouldn't be able to see three metres in front of you. You try not to shiver as you approach the fortress. Its high stone walls seem to rise endlessly, and you notice battalions of evil fireflies patrolling the skies. As you approach the entrance, you notice with dread that there is a guard in front of the gates. You must get past the guard to go north through the wooden gate into DaFinest Lawn Pro Step 3. Perhaps one of the items from Flymart can help you get past him?" Entrance to DaFinest Lawn Pro Step 3 is north of the Streets. The wooden gate is an closed door. The wooden gate is north of the Entrance to DaFinest Lawn Pro Step 3. The guard is a person in Entrance to DaFinest Lawn Pro Step 3.

Instead of doing something to the wooden gate, say "You pull and push helplessly at the wooden gates. 'It's no use!' Pam says with despair, ' It's locked!''" Attacking it with is an action applying to two things and requiring light. Understand "attack [something] with [something]" and "hit [something] with [something]" as attacking it with. Instead of attacking the guard with tennis racket: say "You close your eyes and blindly flail your arm in an attempt to subdue your opponent. You hear a sickening crack, and then a dull thump. You hesitantly open your eyes to discover the lifeless body of the guard at your feet. You try not to recoil from the waterfall of crimson that begins from his temple and is slowly making its way to the stone floor, and the sharp metallic scent of blood. You numbly stare at your tennis racket, until Bo interrupts quietly, 'We have to continue.' With great effort, you rip your eyes away from the dead firefly, and slowly make your way to the wooden gates. Pam wordlessly takes your hand, and you look up to meet her eyes. For the first time since the breakup, you see none of the bitterness and hurt that normally occupies her beautiful, piercing eyes. With a small smile, you grasp her hand a little more tightly, and enter DaFinest Lawn Pro Step 3."; move player to Lobby. Instead of giving money to the guard: say "The guard glances hastily at his surroundings. When no one else appears, he takes his key and unlocks the wooden gate. He quickly snatches your money and returns to his post, ignoring your party. You proceed to DaFinest Lawn Pro Step 3."; move player to Lobby. Every turn when the player is in the Entrance to DaFinest Lawn Pro Step 3: if the player is wearing the female firefly suits, say "The guard is overcome his lust at the sight of 3 beautiful female fireflies (the costumes really did wonders for you and Bo). The dark eyes that once looked at your party with only disdain is now filled with passion. The soft sound of his wings fluttering gently is almost pleasant as he murmurs to himself, 'Ah... I want a mate...' In his incapacitated, dream-like state, you and your party quickly take his keys and enter the DaFinest Lawn Pro Step 3."; if the player is wearing the female firefly suits, move player to Lobby. Lobby is north of the wooden gate. The Lobby is a room. "The lobby of DaFinest Lawnpro Step 3 closely resembles that of a posh 5-star hotel. It is virtually empty, with a huge chandelier in the shape of DaFinest glittering above you, easily the size of an adult elephant. Bo stares at it in confusion. The walls and floors appear to be covered with shiny, smooth, multicoloured marble. You realize suddenly that Pam's hands are still entwined within your own. It feels...so familiar, if you dare to think that way. You avert your gaze from the chandelier to Pam. Her brilliant blue eyes are bright with awe. She turns suddenly, and looks down at her hand still in yours. She chuckles awkwardly and hastily withdraws it. Your hand feels empty without hers. You see three doors and an elevator that only seems to go up. To the West is the Recreation Room. Northwest is the Research Room. East is the Training Room. Above is DaFinest Room." Every turn: if the player has been in the lobby for 2 turns, say "'I think you should take that key card', Pam says." The expensive leather sofa is in the lobby. The large potted plant is in the lobby. The key card is in the lobby. The description of the expensive leather sofa is "Wow this is expensive. Imported leather! Pam sits on it and affirms that it is very comfortable." The description of the large potted plant is "It appears to be some sort of bush. Fireflies love bushes."

The key card unlocks elevator. The Elevator is down of DaFinest Room. The Recreation Room is a room. "This is the Recreation Room of Dafinest Lawnpro Step 3. There is a faint scent of cigarette smoke that reaches your nose as you make your way further in. You see various Evil Firefly Legionnaires scattered around, smoking, drinking, laughing. Bo smiles widely as the bar comes into view. He loves tequila. Pam looks around warily, subconciously clutching your arm. You pretend not to notice. For a moment, they are almost normal, but then you quickly remind yourself that you are deep within the top-secret facility of a deranged dictator. The Lobby is to your East. " The bar is in the Recreation Room. The billiards table is in the Recreation Room. The vending machine is in the Recreation Room. The television is in the Recreation Room.

Instead of talking to Firefly Legionnaires: say "They eye you suspiciously and grunt." Instead of talking to the Bartender: say "[one of]'Hi, can we get a drink?' you say.[paragraph break]'Sure thing' he replies. [or]He leaves. You, Pam, and Bo find a little wooden box at the back of the bar. You go to examine it. [paragraph break]'What do you think you're doing?' demands the Bartender, startling the three of you upon his sudden return. [or]'Nothing!' you exclaim nervously. [stopping]". Table of Bartender's Replies Topic Replies "box" "[metal key]" To say metal key: if Bartender carries a metal key: say "Bartender says, 'Oh! You should have just told me you wanted to write in DaBurn Book. You guys looked all suspicious for nothing!' "; try Bartender giving a metal key to the player. This is the custom block giving rule: if the actor is Bartender: say "[bold type](You've acquired the key!)[roman type]"; else: say "[bold type](.)[roman type]". The custom block giving rule is listed instead of the block giving rule in the check giving it to rulebook. After asking about a topic listed in the Table of Bartender's replies, say replies entry. test me with "ask Bartender about box / g / give metal key to Bartender" The description of the black book is "It is leather bound, with nothing on the outside. You open it and see the title page, aptly titled 'DaBurn Book'. You peruse through it and see pages and pages of sketches and writing of Firefly Legionnaires demeaning DaFinest. You flip to a page and see a particularly detailed sketch of DaFinest with a very sizable beard and the caption, 'DaFinest is DAWORST!'[paragraph break] 'You better take that!' Bo exclaims, 'maybe show it to DaFinest and break her evil heart!'"
