(with the substance scanner) You scan the mince again. The display settles more quickly, it says PORK again. The Confessor could have no more horrific a secret than the fact he consumes the flesh of swines. This alone would remove him from his position, but of course it wouldn't hurt to find more dirt on him.
You drop the bucket
Dropped.
You ask Chatarras about yourself
"I'm not really a badass secret agent. Why trust Bian's safety to me?" "We hear you're good at infiltration; both defeating security and not being noticed." "The SubGenii seem to have noticed me." "Actually, that's just that the Psychology Department doesn't like the CS Department."
You ask her about Danny
(Emma about that) "Did you kill Daniel Saunders?" you ask. "Yes," she replies, "He betrayed me -- he went to the authorities with what he knew, so nearly everyone got out in time. He deserved to die for that. Now tell me: Have you found the key?"
You go east
The detector blinks briefly, indicating that I've moved into a new region of the compound. Humans flitter across this wide hallway, clumping into and breaking out of knots of intense, whispered intrigue. A table next to the double doors to the west is laden with delicate champagne flutes, which some of the humans stalking around the room are also brandishing. Nondescript oil paintings hang at regular intervals around the room. A small hallway leads south, and a wider passage leads east. There's a set of open double doors here leading west. The reporter asks one of the dignitaries some pointed questions.
Hiss
You remember your mother telling you to use that tone of voice only when you really had to. Fortunately, this is not one of those times.
You examine the staircase
The staircase is currently folded down, but there appears to be machinery for raising it. The accessible parts of this consist of a boiler full of water, an open oven beneath, and a brass button. Mounted in a special slot in the side of the oven is a large magnifying glass, which focuses the light from above into a single blazing point inside the oven itself.
F.
The sea stretches out in all directions. There is no land in sight. You can worry about that later, though. Fore is the mainmast, aft is the captain's quarters, upstairs is the quarterdeck, and downstairs is the lower deck. A silk handkerchief hangs from the aft bulkhead. The water rises up around your thighs. The captain scurries along after you.
Go outside
You and Ayla start to run through the maze, following the yellow arrows on the ground, and soon you are outside in the sun again. You're in a big, open grassy area. To the west is the entrance to the hedge maze. Paths also lead north, south and east from here. [Author's Note: Now that you're out of the maze, typing L is short for LOOK again. ] Ayla stretches her arms and smiles at the sunshine. Then she turns to you and says, "Hey Demi, can I stay with you and help you look for the others?" Hm. Secretly you'd hoped you could have a cat for a partner, because teaming up with a princess doesn't seem as witchy... Do you want Ayla to come with you? (Y/N)
Inventory
You are carrying: some litmus powder a 60-watt soft-white incandescent light bulb a diamond ring (being worn) a sport coat (being worn) a bottle of hydroxide (which is open but empty) some cans of soda a squirt bottle (which is closed) a quantity of pale blue liquid a bottle of acid (which is open) a quantity of acid a small plastic tube (which is open but empty)
You talk potatoes
You can only do that to something animate.
Go northwest
This is a large chamber carved into the hill. Plain sarcophagi hold 19 members of either the Diaz or the Vilheila-Pareira families. One sarcophagus looks empty, however. The exit is to the southeast.
You check what you're carrying
You are carrying a gold locket, a wooden staff, and a very large, softly pulsing ruby. You're wearing your clothes, a stone bracelet, a golden helmet, and a golden cape.
You open the cupboard
You open the cupboard, revealing some cans of Fancy Feast and a box of matches.
Rotate gas line
You close the valve on the gas line. The cloud of nitrogen quickly disperses.

A fire rises up in you, a bile white and furious. The words come to mind like armaments of Truth. mind like armaments of Truth."I'm not afraid of death," you tell her. "I've seen beyond the curtain."

You turn the switch on
You switch the booth switch on.
You go to the west
Steel coats the walls of this long and narrow room. A hole in the ceiling leads back up. A doorway leads east. The stench of rotting meat waves through it. Next to the doorway, you can see a cage of reinforced glass, which is connected to the next room by a grille. In the cage you see a penguin.
You examine the floor
The tightly-packed, perfectly square flagstones are cold and hard under my bare feet. I kneel and run my fingers across the stones, searching for something unusual. My breath catches in my throat as my fingers stumble carelessly across a flagstone that seems to be slightly raised in comparison to its neighbours. I check again. This flagstone is the twin of the others except for the fact that it is definitely loose. However, it's too heavy and my fingers are too thick to prise it up. There must be something in here that can help me!
Go downwards
You pass through the gate and down the stone steps, which curve northwest as they lead down to the edge of the river. The ponderous stones of Whateley Bridge arch overhead, casting this little concrete ledge into deep shadow. At your feet, the dark waters lap quietly against the stones with a hollow, subterranean sound. Stone steps to the southeast lead back up to street level. A small metal door, blotchy with rust, is set into the south bank of the river, underneath the bridge. A flurry of dead leaves goes skittering along the ground, swirling past you in the wind.
You put the glass shard in the side pocket
You unzip the side pocket, deposit the glass shard (smelling faintly of mildew), then zip the side pocket back up again.
You take the books
There are far too many books to remove them all. You should select a volume by name. The raven stares down from the stacks.
Go southeast
To the north, a gap in the crowded press of gloomy buildings opens onto a country lane, heading out over a grassy heath. The main street continues to the east, while to the northwest, over the top of a steep rise, you can just make out the vaulted rooftops of the university. Michael hurries to catch up.
Exorcise ld
Lornedei is possessed. Would you like to perform an exorcism on her?
You go west
A capacious hall, lit with torches. There's not much here, though, other than inspiring architecture. Which, honestly, you could see pretty easily in non-magical London whenever you wanted to. An enormous sweeping staircase leads up, and a smaller staircase leads down. A rough door leads west, and the Great Hall is through a stone archway to the east.
Land
Domes and arcologies crowd the horizon: spacious mansions, dirty communes, unregulated sweatshops and outlandish temples. A trendy office neighbours the landing pad, rented out by an entrepreneur for unspecified business. Luciano conducts his business in an avant-garde park, talking on multiple comm screens at once. A cyborg starship pilot drowns her sorrows in a holo-nudie bar. Autark her home. The Snake will be in his private dome, surrounded by bodyguards.
Go east
An old kitchen with a gas-powered stove and an open and empty freezer, and covered in grease. There is indeed a tub of fries sitting by one of the fryers, much to your delight. The place looks like it hasn't been used in a week though.
You get the spider
Taken.
You check what you're carrying
Machine Room: Central (as Ross) Giant cogs are turning, forming a messy pattern that snakes around the room, interspersed with other machines whose function is entirely opaque to you. Some are spewing steam, some are making horrid squelching noises, some have bright flashing lights. There is a wall to the east, and many of the cogs cut right through it. You can go back to the west. You are carrying: a sickle 2 pieces of soul (of 7)
Boy 's bedroom
"Yes. Your console recorded some unusual readings from that area. We'll give it another look."
You press enter
"Map", "Xyzzy", "Pray", "Win", "Think", "Credits", "Kill Self"?
You examine the machine
This vending machine sells tasty bananas, like most vending machines around the world. Unfortunately, it's broken. The back panel has been unlocked so that maintenance can look inside, but they haven't gotten around to fixing it yet.
You give the telegram to the marshal
You show the telegram to Marshal McLuhan, telling him that he'll find the sheriff's stagecoach full of stolen silver just behind the jail. Sheriff Cheney wipes his brow nervously, "I forgot that's where we left that coach. I do reckon I'm always forgetting where I park. I was going to mention the silver as evidence any second now." The marshal dispatches two guards to search behind the office, and when they return with corroboration about the stolen silver, the marshal instructs his guards to restrain and disarm the sheriff, concluding, "So, now it is clear. The sheriff took advantage of the railway incident to rob the train's silver himself in order to finance the development of his invention into a business. He framed these two itinerant laborers to shift the blame. No wonder he wanted them killed so quickly." The marshal rips the gold star off Sheriff Cheney's shirt and instructs the guards, "Place Mr. Cheney behind bars." With a wide yawn, Pastor Pete walks out of the cell as the guards wrestle the sheriff past him. "I do reckon I slept like the dead last night. Thank you for a peaceful night, deputy," and he walks out the front door. The marshal raises his eyebrows but continues, "Deputy James Smith Bush, by the power invested in me as federal marshal of this district, I hereby promote you to Sheriff of the Town of Crawdad's Gulch. Congratulations." The newly appointed sheriff grins and shakes his hand. The marshal almost pins the star to Jimbo's bare chest, but stops short and just hands it to him. The marshal advises him, "James, you'll probably want to get yourself some deputies -- men you can trust." Sheriff Jim looks over to you and Muddy. The color drains from Muddy's face.
Go west
A small courtyard lies outside the prison, which appears to be built on a small island. The way back into the prison is south, through the airlock. You are otherwise surrounded by water, but there are some docks allowing easy access to the east. The airlock leading into the cell complex lies to the south.
Y.
You unlock your bike and hop on. This is all really strange. Whose tent was that? Why did they abandon it? Why did you go inside? At least the mystery of the blue box is solved, kind of. And now you have a tiny screwdriver, which is something you didn't have before. You squint into the sun, and then you turn your bike down gentle hills toward home.
You open grille
The ventilator grille is a bit beyond your reach.
You let go
You let go of the goathorn piece, and the vision fades around you. All the units in this old building have been divided and subdivided until they're dangerously cramped. The apartment is much as you found it; a year is not so long, and you'll be gone soon. You can see an engraved wastebasket (empty), a cardboard box (empty), a desk (on which are a goathorn piece, a pint glass, a broken propeller, a trapped butterfly, a shred of fabric, a tallow candle, and the keener fragment), and a chair here.
You go to the north
You make your way north. As you do, you feel an electrical impulse course through you. You find yourself in... Someone has left their trigonometry homework on the log table. On the grass lies a funny-looking soccer ball.
You ask the antiquarian about Amber
"Yeah, that's amber alright. That seems like a pretty rare piece, too."
Inventory
You're carrying: dim bulb (Providing light) long hotdog sharp knife juicy apple music book roller skate old lamp plaster pluto You're wearing: pocket pager ( on your belt )
Go east
Wisdom's stored here, the richest this world knows: how to cook well. Lox bookcases abound with shelves exceptionally stocked. You'll find more than one page worth your perusal if you're after instruction in how to prepare, say, two more courses for a feast. Southward you'll walk out onto a balcony, westward lies the solar, but eastward the castle's collapsed.
Go west
(first opening the small door) Locked in an iron cage are the house treasures not in use: the collection consists of a sceptre, a puzzle piece, and a pair of cloven shoes, at present -- he showed them to you one rainy day, telling you their many histories. Nearby an open small door leads east to the scrying room.
Enter
The grease from the pizza is just enough to enable you to contort your way in. You're in Carver's Cave, a small natural fissure underneath Saint Paul. There's a beach of sorts, and beyond that, a calm, dark pool extending into the blackness. Water laps gently near your feet, and there's an audible trickle from somewhere deep in the darkness. It's otherwise deathly quiet, and very chilly. You can leave to the south. Lying on the beach is the hacked-up corpse of a giant serpent, marinating in a puddle of purplish blood.
About yourself
All things considered, you look just fine, sitting there in your form-fitting uniform. It's a good thing you're locked up safely away from those two young men, isn't it? The OKAY button silently flashes.
You look at the photos
You look at the various photos somewhat dubiously. At first you were really impressed by the photo wall, and it was one of the reasons why you decided to give this dry cleaners a try in the past. On reflection you have come to the conclusion that you would be very surprised if, for example, Tom Hanks really had had some dry cleaning done here. You are, however, prepared to believe that maybe, just maybe Tom Selleck has. You feel a pang of annoyance that the owners have never asked to put a photo of you on the wall, despite the fact that every single man, woman and child in the world has been told all about you.
Go south
You're on a landing at the bottom of the stairs. The exit from the stairs is via a door to the north.
You take the egg
You pluck the white egg out of the fridge. Janet: It's a shame we don't have enough heavy helium to bring the ship back. David: I'm afraid we've put all our baskets in one egg, as it were. That one egg represents every bit of heavy helium refined on Mars since Phobos was destroyed. Janet: All Your Egg Are Belong to Us? David: Huh? Didn't quite catch that. Janet: Never mind. HEAVY HELIUM SPHERE -> SELECT : NIL Rover narrows his eyes critically, noting the lack of food in his food bowl. He looks at the food bowl. He looks at you. He looks at the food bowl. He looks at you.
You throw Emily
Emily is already here.
You ask the woman about the age
"Please wait until I'm done here." The Celestial Security officer asks the young woman, "Do you now or have you ever smoked?" The woman replies, "No." The officer slowly and carefully transcribes the information onto the application form.
You examine the bundles
Bundles of various herbs, too far away to identify. They make the storeroom look like Grandma's pantry.
Go outside
The corridor turns a corner here, continuing to the north and west. The Security Administrator's office is through a door to the east, and to the south, a short staircase leads downwards to a darkened room. There's a plaque bearing the word 'Liberty' on the north wall.
You go to the north
You are right in the middle of the golden beach, which stretches off to the north and south. Something wooden is buried in the "sand" at your feet, but it's buried so deeply that only a corner of it is visible.
Kiss dmitri
You steal a kiss from Dmitri and he promptly rubs his cheek to remove any residue left by your lips. "Just wonderful," he says. "Exactly what I needed. I must've been begging for that and I didn't even know it."
You hit the nest with the shovel
The wasp nest is too far away.
You get the herbs
You pick a few of the tender herbs.
You ask burin about Sorkin
The burin launches into a lengthy exposition on the meaning of life, with special consideration to the role of sentient burins as its prime representatives. After discussing and refuting all imaginable challenges to this thesis, the burin abruptly stops and says, "I'm sorry, what was the question again?" The burin practises its penthingship.
You ask the man about Tower
"Um, yeah." The guy tries to turn back to look at the tower without breaking his stride. "Pretty cool." He keeps walking, and disappears behind you.
You throw the ball at the field
Knight Dwelubi says, "I lack the skill, Your Majesty."
You look at the chains
So heavily wreathed in chains and locks, in fact, that it is hard to imagine the keys even still existing. The locks are thickly rusted over, and would in all likelihood refuse to accept a key if you tried.
You jump on the counter
You jump down and land on the countertop with a noticeable "thud". From up here, you can see the entire shiny place. Only the refrigerator top gives a better view. It makes you feel powerful and important, like perhaps you controlled the whole area and had a few cat soldiers to do your bidding as well. If it was softer and not so narrow, it would make a great bed. From here, you can jump up to the metal box. The most distinctive smell is the scent of Goodcat/Badcat. He is near.
You wait for a while
Time passes... The royal barge chugs quickly around the bend, ending up near the eastern bank of the canal. Martian Canal, near the east bank, in the royal barge The royal barge rocks gently in the current of a wide canal. There are docks on both banks. Just behind, the canal curves sharply to the west.
Go south
You bump into a moist toilet.
Assail godzilla
You lash out with the rage of your barbarian ancestors! You scored 58 points of damage! "Oh, I really FELT that one!" says GUNWAR, happily. With a mighty THRUM and a deadly HUM, the SLAVER KING carves into you with his PHASIC BLADE of pure, annihilating light! You have suffered 52 hits of damage!
Go west
You are at the eastern end of a dark, featureless landscape of shallow hills. Paths to the east and southeast re-enter the rock.
You put the scroll on the wing
The cloth is too small to fit across the gap in the frame. Perhaps if it just a little larger...
About yourself
You look as you always do; feel as ever. A bit weighted, a bit weary. A voice, remembered: "Find the elements. Bring them to me."
You examine the paperwork
(even more uninteresting paperwork) You're not interested.
You go east
Your progress is halted by porous rock walls.
You examine the body
This unfortunate woman was Deviah Favash. Whoever sent for an Ixteesh interpreter from your village did so through Deviah and she was to explain to you who sent for you and where you're supposed to be. Sadly, it appears she has been stabbed a few times in the midsection by something incredibly sharp, given the very clean cuts left behind in her clothes. Without warning, Deviah's eyes snap open, startling you enough to shout a quick, "Shit lords!". She grabs your wrist tightly and whispers to you in a slowly dying breath, "You must join the caravan to Obak! That is where you are needed!" She cringes in pain for a moment, then struggles to add, "They are trying to stop you-" but then, having delivered this message to you, she finally dies.
You put the stones in the kettle
You toss the grey stones into the kettle. The water froths briefly, but nothing else seems to change. You try to lean over the kettle to see the grey stones inside, but the rising steam is simply too hot.
You examine the block
So which do you mean, the tall plastic block, the short plastic block, the medium plastic block, or the soft foam block?
You read the invitation
An elaborate script beckons you to partake in a masked f?te. It's scheduled for tonight, but you're hardly planning on attending; you shudder to think what havoc your demon could wreak in such a setting. You pace back and forth and ponder the fundamental inequity of existence.
You show scroll to Hypatia
Hypatia replies, "Yes, these are two well-known logical fallacies. What do they have to do with Descartes being consigned to Oblivion?" Hypatia's cell phone rings once more, and she answers it. Hypatia listens for a while. "No," she says. "There are some intelligent and thoughtful people in the other political party." She holds the phone away from her ear, and you hear angry ranting on the other end. Hypatia lets it go on for a while before she breaks in with "You might try spending less time on social media," before hanging up. She turns to you. "It seems like that has been getting worse lately."

"Can you... can you tell me about how you discovered the body?" He shakes his head. "It's all a blur. Doctor Arturus had cloistered himself in the back of the clinic. I was instructed not to disturb him -- he seemed fine when I left in the evening. It was only when he didn't turn up for work this morning that I thought..." "...You thought something might have happened?" "Exactly." Justinian looks at his hands. "When I called on him in his domicile -- the disease had taken him." 1) "Can you tell me anything about Doctor Arturus's patients?" 2) "What are your thoughts on the disease?" 3) "There was an attempt on Doctor Cavala's life. Do you have any idea why?" 4) "I'll look around the clinic. Perhaps I'll find something the Vigiles have missed."
You get the hymnals
Taken.
Look around
You survey your one small room. One desk, paper-piled, with a dusty computer shoved to the side. Your futon, upon which you sit. Second-hand stereo sitting on a cardboard crate. A kitchen nook one way and a bathroom nook the other, with a closet to the side. A broad mirror tries to make the place seem twice its size; it halfway works. One window, whose shade is down, and the front door firmly shut. The place is still too dim, except the corner where the desk lamp is somehow too bright. Your luggage is piled untidily by the door. A potted spider plant sits beneath the window. On the desk are your to-do list and a travel book. You can see a thin layer of sand lying on the floor. In the kitchen nook you can see a jar of sand and some sand. In the bathroom nook you can see a trace of sand.
Examine book
A dimestore novel? By REX DASHING? Sorry, Owl, but I refuse.
You put chisel on the hook
The chisel slips off of the hook.
You take the leaf
(the chocolate leaf) Taken.
You examine the pedestal
It's a concrete block with holes drilled in it, presumably for securing something to. Your liquor-addled brain seems to recall that the secretary said the statue would be reinstalled tomorrow. "Popey's comin' home," you mumble to yourself.
You use NEEDLE on GIANT
You poke the CLIFF GIANT once more with the RUBY NEEDLE, and this time the GIANT stands in response before you can take the NEEDLE out again! The CLIFF GIANT towers above you like a perturbed, angry mountain, blotting out the evening sun and GLARING at you! The GIANT points a finger at you. "YOU RUDE," he says, in a voice that sends pebbles and snow flying down the mountainside, and which nearly knocks you from your feet. And then, he strides off into the mountains, to find somewhere more private to sit.
You open the middle drawer
Opening the middle drawer reveals your other clothes.
Pray
Silence. Whether you are heard or not is another question.
Go down
hall, but at least there is this small room, with just enough space for a coathanger and a narrow staircase up to a trapdoor in the ceiling. Wooden doors lead north, east, west and south.
You open the cauldron
You are aghast to discover a severed foot festering in the bottom of the cauldron.
You wear the mask
You put on the face mask.
Go up
This is as close to Heaven as you'll ever be.
You look
Here, the sounds of the eatery below are louder. Be careful you don't get spotted by anyone. The stairs leading down have been barricaded with a metal gate, so best to respect the measures that Subra put up for your safety. There's a cardboard box here, containing a bunch of reading materials. Your room is to the north, and the washroom is to the east. You hear the clanking of dishes.
You examine the miniature
The tiny image of a lady in a green girdle. But it isn't Lucrezia.
You examine the rifle
It's fancy enough to be purely decorative, but it is after all a working firearm. A careful inspection shows it to be loaded.
Look around
You put the magnifying glass into the contraption; improbably, it squinches down, passes through the narrow neck, and emerges from the other end smaller than it was when it went in. On close inspection, it seems that the mechanisms for opening the cages are stuck fast; no key will ever work in them again. A long, vaulted room, lined with cages of filigree and jewels. All of the animals are motionless and still, perhaps through the art of a taxidermist. In one cage is an elephant, so short that he reaches only to your knee; you easily could lift him under one arm and carry him away. In another cage, a giant mouse lies, curled as though slumbering, his paws folded in the semblance of prayer. Mounted on a swivel on the wall is what looks like an irregular hourglass, one bulb larger than the other. There is no sand within -- nor could there be, since the contraption is open at each end. At the moment the larger end is uppermost.
You ask about Neal
(the voice) "Neal likes to ride the rails. You know, trains. But he likes to do it in comfort. None of those cheap, poorly built cars for Neal. Only the best."
You ask him about the dinosaurs
"What can you tell me about the dinosaurs that live here?" Eruera shifts a bit, and there's a twinkle in his eye as he addresses you. "We really shouldn't waste time with this until we've secured rescue, but I know that's the main reason you came, and you haven't gotten your chance to see them yet, so I'll indulge your curiosity. In many ways, Tim, the taniwha are the living symbols of this whole nation. When the Mori first arrived in Aotearoa, they fought the taniwha simply to exist here. In those days, they covered the continent, for the most part, and weren't really willing to share it with humans." "But eventually the Mori learned how to coexist with the taniwha, and even partially domesticate some of them. When the pkeh came, bringing guns and colonists and looking for land to clear and farm, the Mori met their firearms with kairkau mounted on taniwha. Their mana was strong -- the British guns had some effect, but the bony plates on the taniwha's heads served as shields and made the riders difficult targets. The pkeh were unable to simply take Mori land, but they weren't willing to give up. Years of fighting ensued, until Pitiroi -- Robert FitzRoy -- was sent here from Great Britain and met with the great chiefs -- the rangatira -- and signed the Treaty of Waitangi." "The Treaty established a permanent state of alliance between Great Britain and Aotearoa. Mori sovereignty was guaranteed, but the pkeh were granted rights and brought into the iwi, or family, of Aotearoa. Many speculate that if the taniwha had not existed, we might have ended up like the aboriginal people of the Australian or American colonies -- a broken people, stripped of their land and heritage." "So the taniwha are vitally important to the Mori people, Tim. That is why we work so hard to protect them."
You hit the spider with shovel
(first taking the old shovel from the burlap sack) On a normal day, you might be able to grit your teeth and force yourself to do something with (or to) the spider. But you're feeling pretty nervous today. You just can't quite bring yourself to get that close to it.
You put the bolts in the thighband
bolt: Done. bolt: Done. bolt: Done.
Go east
Silvery, sparkily, twinkly walls all tend to blend into your vision and make it all so very disorienting. You're pretty sure the corridor leads east and west, but it's hard to be certain.

Go east
You can't go that way. Kari wanders off, south.
You look at the table
The table is old and paint-stained, and one leg is a little crooked. The table is littered with an assortment of stuff. No, make that a mound. Your first impulse is to dismiss it as junk, but that would be an insult to the man who lives here. These are his possessions - probably all he owns. Lying diagonally across the junk is a fishing pole.
You take the tongs
Taken. Honey inspects her perfectly manicured bright pink nails.
Enter
You're now standing beneath the mirrored bubble. The air in this room feels rather stale, and the only light comes from the plants outside the bubble. That bubble gives an excellent view of the ocean floor, and you surmise that this room must have been built for observation of that area. The waterlock is west of here.
