Instead of asking Nora about "party":
say "'Oh, a party? Ooh, will there be pancakes? If there isn't any, we can break Cardin's legs!' Cardin is totally unrelated to pancakes and parties, but you don't see the harm in that. You quietly hope to yourself that Nora won't get any pancakes during the party."; award 50 points.

Professor Oobleck's Classroom is east of Professor Port's Classroom. "You step into Professor Oobleck's classroom and look around. Unlike Professor Port's classroom, Oobleck's is usually empty. You can understand why. Port's bragging is bearable, but Oobleck's machine gun speech is much harder to deal with. The professor isn't in right now, thankfully. His desk is empty and covered with paper and coffee. What should you do now?" 

A cherry desk is scenery in Professor Oobleck's Classroom. The description is "A really expensive looking desk, with scrollwork legs and gilt touches. Professor Oobleck's papers and coffee cups are scattered all over the top. The cherry desk features three drawers."

After opening a drawer when no drawers are explored: 
    now the noun is explored; 
    say "There is a tremendous screech, but you don't see anything of interest, only coffee-stained papers."
After opening an unexplored drawer when exactly one drawer is explored: 
    now the noun is explored; 
    say "You struggle to open this one a bit more quietly, conscious all the time of noise... but no, there's nothing in this drawer too. Bummer."
After closing a drawer: 
    say "There is a racket of wood protesting against wood as you open the drawer, which makes you wonder if you hadn't better just leave them open from now on. At this rate, Oobleck will come back in a great gust of paper and spilled coffee, and'll throw you in detention or something."
Before opening an unexplored drawer when exactly two drawers are explored: 
    move the black book to the noun; 
    now the noun is explored.
There is a black book. The description is "A black, leather bound book with the words 'Ninjas of Love' scrawled across the cover. You don't think you want to know."
Instead of opening the desk when at least one drawer is unexplored: 
    let the next drawer be a random unexplored drawer; 
    say "(starting with [the next drawer])[line break]"; 
    try opening the next drawer.
Instead of looking under the desk when no drawers are explored: 
    say "You carefully survey the ground around the desk. There don't seem to be any hidden tripwires or traps to prevent you from having a look in the drawers. Knowing the questionable sanity of most Beacon teachers, that wouldn't be out of the question."
Instead of looking under the desk when at least one drawer is unexplored: 
    say "Nothing there but paper and dust."
Instead of looking under the desk when all drawers are explored: 
    say "There's nothing down there, but this doesn't come as a great surprise."
Instead of searching the desk when at least one drawer is unexplored: 
    move the black book to the player; 
    say "You perform a hasty, squeaky search of "; 
    if no drawer is explored, say "all three drawers, discovering nothing and nothing in rapid succession. But on the third drawer you "; 
    if exactly two drawers are unexplored, say "the remaining two drawers. There's nothing in the second, but in the third you "; 
    if exactly one drawer is unexplored, say "the last drawer. In it, you "; 
    say "find a leather bound book. It's been shoved in rather haphazardly. Is this... Blake's?"; 
    now all the drawers are explored.

The Courtyard is west of Class Hall. "You sprint out into the courtyard and nearly trip into the crater that Ruby had exploded into the ground on your first day. You have a great view of the surrounding countryside, such as the Emerald Forest and the Forever Fall Forest. How pretty!" 

Weiss is a person in the Courtyard. The description of Weiss is "A short girl with long white hair and a dancer's body. She has her arms crossed and is tapping her feet impatiently. What could Weiss-Weiss-Baby be doing out here in the cold?" 

Instead of telling Weiss about "Ruby":
say "'Finally! I've been waiting for you to show up! Listen; Ruby headed into the Emerald Forest awhile ago, but she didn't say what she was doing! We have to go and find her before she hurts herself--Wait, what do you MEAN you're going alone! Wait, Yang!'" 

Instead of asking Weiss about "Ruby":
say "'Yang, there you are! Listen, your dunce of a sister just jumped into the Emerald Forest, and we need to go find her before she gets herself KILLED! Wait, what do you MEAN you're going alone! Yang, stop, come back! Hey, don't leave me here!'" 

Instead of asking Weiss about "party":
say "'You're throwing a party in our DORM ROOM? Yang, that's against every rule in the book! What do you mean you've already set up! That's a lie, everything was perfectly normal when we left this morning! What are you trying to pull?'"; award 50 points. 

Instead of telling Weiss about "party": 
say "'A party? But that's against the rules! You can't throw a party in the dorms--what do you MEAN you've already set up! That's a lie, everything was perfectly normal this morning! I--alright, FINE. I'll go to the party. But only to prove that you're lying, okay?'"; award 50 points.

The Emerald Forest is north of the Courtyard. "You leap down into the forest, using your gauntlets to propel you through the air. The forest is as green as green could possibly be, and off in the distance, you hear a howl. Spooky." 

The Cliffside Altar is north of the Emerald Forest. "You head to the temple ruins where you and your team had killed the Nevermore. Ah, and there she is; Ruby stands atop a pillar with her red cape flowing in the wind and Crescent Rose in hand. With a flick of your wrist, your gauntlets fire a series of shells that send you up, up... and with a grunt, you land before your sister." 

The description of Ruby is "A youthful girl with silver eyes and a red cape. She's chewing on her lip like it's bubble gum, and she seems worried. What's going on?" 

Instead of asking Ruby about something:
say "'Yang! There you are! Listen, I may have... um, accidentallydroppedourdiscoballdowninthatcrackandIcan'tgoandgetitbecauseI'mnotstrongenoughto--' A pause for breath. '--liftupthatbigrockthereandIdidn'twanttoshootittobitsbecausethat'dattractGrimmand please, please, please go get it for me?'"

The Abandoned Temple is north of the Cliffside Altar. "You shimmy down to a little ledge just shy of the abyss at the center of the ruins. You see something shiny in a--cage? Is that a cage? Huh. Probably because the temple's past inhabitants were a bit... cagey about their religion. Hey, any religion with an altar as big as the one Ruby was standing on has to be practicing some freaky-deaky sacrificial shit, ya know? Anyways, you need to get in that cage and grab the disco ball. How'd Ruby manage to drop something like that in there anyways?"

A cage is in the Abandoned Temple. The disco ball is an object in the cage. The cage is enterable, openable, transparent, and closed.

Every turn when the player is in the cage: 
    if a random chance of 1 in 2 succeeds, say "The abyss. It beckons. Creeepy.";
    otherwise say "The cage creaks ominously. Yikes."

The description of the cage is "A dilapidated old cage, perched precariously near the edge of the ledge. The disco ball is inside the cage; you'll need to enter the cage to grab it." 

The cage is fixed in place.

The description of the disco ball is "A shiny ball meant to be mounted on the ceiling. You need it for the party!" 

After taking the disco ball: say "You grab the disco ball and shimmy out of the cage as fast as you can. And just in time; the cage crashes to the ground as soon as you step out. You breath a sigh of relief, and climb back up to your sister. You and Ruby share a sisterly chest bump, and head back to the school."; award 400 points. 

The rocky path is a container in the Abandoned Temple.

The Forever Fall Forest is east of the Emerald Forest. "Red leaves, red trees, and red sap. Red, red, everywhere, as red as roses and as red as blood. Off in the distance, you hear a howl. It's probably not wise to stay in the forest." 

A broken jar is an object in the Forever Fall Forest. Instead of examining the broken jar:
say "A broken glass jar. Bits of dried sap cling to the insides. As you scoop it up to examine it, you hear a growl from behind. You whirl around just in time to see a large paw approaching your head. You yell, but not even you can block this, it's too close, oh shit, oh shit shitshitshitshit---" ;end the game in death.

The Dorms are south of Class Hall. "You can hear giggling, yelling, and grunts of exertion coming through the walls of each team's rooms. So much for 'soundproof walls' or whatever gibberish Beacon put on its brochures." 

RWBY's Door is west of the Dorms. JNPR's Door is east of the Dorms. RWBY's  Door is a closed locked door. JNPR's Door is a closed door. East of JNPR's Door is Vomit Boy's Place.

The ID unlocks RWBY's Door. The description of the RWBY's Door is "It's the door to your dorm. You need your student ID to open it. You're pretty sure you have it on you already. Just take out that sucker and unlock the door!" 

The Crib is west of RWBY's Door.  "You stick your ID into the keyhole and open the door. You step into your dorm room that you've dubbed, 'The Crib' and close the door behind you. Tastefully decorated with a random assortment of paintings, posters, and of course, your precariously balanced bunk beds,  everything about it screams 'warmth' and 'family'. Just your type of place." 

Blake is in the The Crib. The description of Blake is "Your black-haired, yellow eyed partner. Recently she revealed herself to be a cat Faunus, and after one seriously fucked up argument between Blake and Weiss, came to accept you all as her family and friends. Which you really should be celebrating, actually! You make a mental note to treat Blake to seafood sometime soon." 

Understand "give Blake [something]" as giving Blake something. Giving Blake something is an action applying to one visible thing.

Instead of giving a book to Blake:

Instead of asking Blake about "party":
say "'A party? Here? ... Weiss is going to flip.' Blake smiles at you. 'Hey, how about we make a... deal? If you can get my book back from Sun, I'll tell you where Professor Port hides the keys to the supply closet.'"; award 50 points. 

Every turn while in Dorms:
if score is 1600
begin; say "You've got all your stuff; you've made the party hats out of posterboard paper, glue, cotton balls, and color pencils! You've dipped the bandages in Pepto Bismo and made pink streamers ( shhh, don't tell Weiss what's she's putting up ), and taken the CDs from Ren. You've talked Nora into getting pancakes, and invited everyone worth inviting! Well done you! This party is going to be soooo epic! That is, if Glynda and Ozpin don't catch you, but whatever, right?"; end the game in victory.; 
end if. 

Instead of telling Blake about "party":
say "A party? Weiss is going to flip.' Blake smirks. 'I'll make you a deal. If you can get my book back from Sun, I'll tell you where Professor Port keeps the keys to the supply closet. How about it?'"; award 50 points.

Most people, like yourself, have... other plans that require large trees and big bushes.'"

Sun Wukong is a person in the Gardens. The description of Sun is "'A muscular ape Faunus and one of Blake's friends. At least, you hope he's just a friend.

I had to hide the book somewhere, or I'd get arrested for 'stealing from a student' or something. I think I stashed it in that green-haired teacher's classroom or something. When you find it, just run it to Blake, 'kay?'"
