"put in body when ill"

The kitchen is a room. "You are in a kitchen, you've been ill for a few days now and made the mistake of going to work on Monday. Maybe you shouldn't have. Anyway you are ill now and 'working from home.' You can also not remember if you should starve a fever or a cold or what you even have really. Your face aches."

Here is a bowl of soup, a cup of tea, a chocolate bar and some dried baguette.

The description of the bowl of soup is "The soup is bright orange and steamy. You have no idea who heated it or when. It could have been you, you are very fever-y.". Understand "soup" as bowl of soup.

The description of the cup of tea  is "You go through so many cups of tea, you should have shares in tetley. Or maybe a bigger bladder, or bigger mugs". Understand "tea" as cup of tea.

The description of the chocolate bar  is "Is this even yours, would it help to eat it?". 

The description of some dried baguette  is "The bread is dry but not too hard and no green patches as yet.". Understand "bread/baguette" as some dried baguette.

 The bowl of soup is edible. After eating the bowl of soup: say "You eat the bowl of soup, enjoying the tangy hot sweetness as it slips down your throat. You smirk at how filth that reads but the smirk disappears when you realise that the soup must be one of the types that you are allergic to. Your throat feels scratchy and then swollen. Breathing becomes difficult and you die."; end the game in death.

Instead of drinking the cup of tea: say "You drink the cup of tea. It tastes delicious and warms your throat."; award 50 points.

 The chocolate is edible. After eating the chocolate: say "Sweet, sweet chocolate, just what Dr. Cadbury prescribed. That has left you feeling a but sickly though."; award -30 points.

 The dried baguette is edible. After eating the dried baguette: say "Slightly stale and scratchy. you can feel it scraping away goo as you swallow."; award 30 points.

Every turn while in the kitchen:
if score is 50
begin; say "You feel good enough to nap. Maybe, after watching Prison Break and getting lovely strokes on the back from your boyfriend, you will feel good enough for work tomorrow"; end the game in victory;
end if.
