You're inside of a dark room. You don't know how you got here, but you can tell it's not your home.

What will you do?

LOAD Cherry · 2015-08-21 03:42:39

A splinter sticks in your tongue, along with some dust.

After some finagling, you manage to get the splinter out.

Keep it? (Y/N)

LOAD Cherry · 2015-08-21 03:44:19

1 splinter has been added to your inventory.

It's dark and the taste of dust and blood fills your mouth.

What next?

>put your arm out in front of you and walk slowly forward, stopping if you come into contact with anything

After about four paces you hit a wall, but not before banging your knee on the edge of something. You heard something on top of it rattle, then settle in place.

>absorb scents

The scent of dust hangs in the air. Your clothes reek of sweat. It must have been a while since you've changed.

What now, sweaty adventurer?

LOAD Cherry · 2015-08-21 03:52:02

>feel the surface of the something, trying to find the source of the rattle

It's a wooden endstand. On top of it is a thick, upright plastic cylinder, with a rocker switch on it.

Flip switch? (Y/N)

LOAD Cherry · 2015-08-21 04:06:42

Light fills the room. Well, as much as one battery powered lantern can anyway. It appears to be on its last legs of the current battery, based on the light's flickering, but it will do for now.

A look around the room reveal that it is a stately study, old, and half-mothballed. Canvas tarps cover the furniture. A chair, what appears to be a bookcase, and something tall and cabinet-like are covered by tarps.

As for the endstand, it's of solid construction, with a single drawer on the front.

But in the mean time, keep the lantern? (Y/N)

>inspect self

Well, you're human, and you're wearing clothes.

There's a mirror behind you, and as we all know, reality is perception.

What do you see in the mirror? (Submit these categories: Eye color, skin color, hair color, clothing, build, sex. One at a time, please.)

Galloping Gooses for life

LOAD Cherry · 2015-08-21 04:50:41

You're called the Galloping Gooses because for your annual rally, you all eat foie gras, at the behest of the boss.

Who said that biker chicks couldn't have a taste for fine dining?

Your name's embroidered on the left sleeve. What's it say, o badass adventurer?

Yarrun XIX · 2015-08-21 04:53:00

Birdie

LOAD Cherry · 2015-08-21 04:58:01

Badass biker bitch Bridie, you have brilliantly bounced your way into a bothersome bout of boundless bewilderment.

You have only your meager possessions and your wits to aid in your escape.

As mentioned before, three tarps cover a chair, a bookshelf-looking piece of furniture, and a cabinet-looking piece of furniture. The windows are covered by curtains, opposite the door. The endstand, which is now behind you, has a drawer which you have not opened.

What will you do?

Yarrun XIX · 2015-08-21 05:03:35

Kick the door

LOAD Cherry · 2015-08-21 05:08:09

>Kick the door

One shot from those solid gams of yours rocks the door, but it's held fast. Probably not just made of wood and metal, or you'd have broken it off its hinges.

A dead-bolt lock, the key-hole facing you, rests above the doorknob.

Force won't solve this part of the puzzle, it seems. Time to use that brain of yours.

Yarrun XIX · 2015-08-21 05:22:12

Which tarp, the chair's tarp, the bookcase-ish object's tarp, or the cabinet-thing's tarp?

chair's tarp (sorry, misread)

LOAD Cherry · 2015-08-21 05:28:51

1 Canvas Tarp has been added to your inventory

The chair beneath the tarp is large and comfortable-looking. It's covered by a deep red velvet.

Doesn't seem to be of much use.

Whatcha gon do?

Yarrun XIX · 2015-08-21 05:34:42

Open curtains

LOAD Cherry · 2015-08-21 05:39:19

>Open curtains

The windows display a dark body of water, completely still save a few ripples. The far shore has a thick line of trees. It's night-time, a full moon hangs in the sky and a vast array of stars dot the void. You're far enough from a city that no light pollution can reach here. As beautiful as it is, you seem to be a good ways away from the town you last recall being in. There were hardly half this many stars.

You try the windows, but they don't open. And the metal frame is too narrow for your burly bod.

What now?

Yarrun XIX · 2015-08-21 05:41:50

Check the endtable drawer

LOAD Cherry · 2015-08-21 05:51:07

>Check the endtable drawer

The lantern's flickering goes more frequent. It's probably drained about half of its remaining life.

(Lantern's condition updated)

Inside the endtable drawer is the following:

A smartphone, or at least a mini-tablet. The brand doesn't ring any bells, the only logo on it is a waxing crescent moon etched into the glass above the screen.

...Funny though, wasn't the last time you saw the moon during the waxing crescent? So it has to have been at least a week... No wonder you smell, and come to think of it, you're starving too.

A 9-volt battery. The expiration date is two years from now. Assuming it hasn't been used, it's gonna hold as good as new.

A notebook and pencil. Leather bound. Perfect for you, seeing how it's a well-known fact bikers love leather.

Will you take something?

Yarrun XIX · 2015-08-21 06:01:43

(any limit on how much we can take?)

LOAD Cherry · 2015-08-21 06:05:10

It is a well-known fact that biker jackets have Dirac seas sewn into them.

It is also a well-known fact that that is not how Dirac seas friggin' work, and even if it were, they couldn't be sewn into fabric. Now matter how made of cow they are.

As counter, it is also well-known the biker gangs don't give a fuck about the law. The laws of physics are no exception.

In short, you can carry anything worth carrying.

Yarrun XIX · 2015-08-21 06:15:02

Clean out the drawer and stuff everything in your impossible jacket

LOAD Cherry · 2015-08-21 06:23:11

All items duly swiped. You tried the phone/tablet and found it to have a full battery. It prompted a log in.

You scan your thumbprint and the tablet's screen flashes a green circle with a checkmark in it.

The home screen seems basic enough. There's an app for notes, a web browser, a music player, weather, maps...

But two of these are pretty odd.

One is called DeadEye

The other is called Mission

Your lantern flickers, then dies. The room is now lit only by the moon and your tablet's screen.

Signal's surprisingly good. You even have 6G. You log in to TwitTwit.

You have 141 characters. Type your message.

Thinking for a minute, you try to come up with something detailed, yet succinct.
