When play begins:
Say "You open your eyes very slowly. You are alone. In the distance you can hear soft singing, as if it was a lullaby. You feel very light like you are made of air. All you see is plain white space.".

The Field of Bliss is a room.
There is water in the field of bliss.
Water is edible.

The Forest is a room.

Instead of drinking water:
	 Say "You feel slightly dizzy. The Blank area of the field melts away. You find yourself in a heavily wooded forest. Suddenly, you remember. Your name is Coraline. You're seventeen years old. You are dead. You were murdered. By who, you don't know. What you do know is that you are in the underworld. You were sent here when you died. When you arrived, you hated it here. You wanted to go back to the real world. You wanted to find your murderer. You tried to escape twice. Huffelpuffs appear to be a cross between a raven and wolf. Their face is angular and covered in grey fur. Their bodies are exactly the same structure as a wolf, but with the addition of wings. And their bodies are covered in long black feathers. These creatures can fly. So, in one of your escape attempts, you tried to ride on a huffelpuff. On it's back, you flew. Unfortunately, huffelpuffs can't fly more then a mile with someone on their backs. After one mile, the two of you fell from the sky. You both died. When humans, like yourself, died in the Underworld, you return to the field you found yourself in just moments ago, the same place you were when you first arrived here. The second time you tried to escape, you had simply walked as far as you could. Somehow you made it all the way to the gates of the underworld. How? You can't seem to remember. All you know that when you got there, a large dark figure grabbed you and you blacked out. The next thing you remember is waking up in the Field of bliss. Suddenly, you're determined to finally get out of the Underworld.";
