You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
Your name is LEE C. You really love COMPUTERS, especially OLD COMPUTERS that you remember from your youth. You like OLD ELECTRONIC STUFF of all sorts, but your room is so small that you couldn't possibly keep all the things you'd like to have. You also like MUSIC and WRITING, though you don't think you're that good at either; you have a CASIO KEYBOARD that you like to mess around with sometimes, but never actually learned how to play.
>Lee: Examine map.
Ah, an ADC 50-Mile Radius Map of Washington, DC. This old classic was one of your wisest purchases back in the day. Alas, ADC got sold to some big Eastern syndicate, and these days, you'd be better off just looking everything up on MAPS-R-US LIVE. It doesn't work right half the time, and you wish the satellite images were better, but if you feel like following roads across the country in a fit of boredom, it's there.
>Fondly regard cartography.
You've always loved maps. Something about how all those lines and colors and such connect together has always intrigued you, and it's been something of an escape for you at times when you'd been bored or depressed or just feeling weird feelings of wanderlust. When you went on road trips with your parents when you were little, you'd try to stay awake just so you could read all the signs. You knew the roads in your native suburbs so well that you could navigate from memory when you were still in grade school. You even wanted to diversify into trains, but since the only train where you were was the subway, you didn't have much reason to ride it.
That thought kind of got away from you there. That tends to happen to you. You really like to ramble.
>Stop rambling and retrieve your arms, post-haste!
What arms? You're not fond of GUNS, though you were told you were a crack shot at JUNIOR FARMER'S CAMP back in '88.
You already have the other kind of arms, though, and you flail them a bit to indicate this.
No, sorry to bring it up again, but you're not studying music.

> get mail
You should go get the mail, but that'd involve putting on your shoes again and that's kinda troublesome. As is trekking through the snow.

Dinner is not available.

What do you want to make?
> > > > > > get bowl
You have a bowl.
> open bag of corn chips
You now have an open bag of corn chips.
> pour some corn chips into bowl
A familiar rattle accompanies the corn chips as a small amount of them fall into the bowl.
> eat corn chips
You consume the corn chips from the bowl. They vaguely satisfy your hunger for a little bit.
You take a moment to look at your prized collection. A few LAPTOPS you've collected from various places after their useful lives as office machines had passes; a few older APPLE machines, including some machines that are APPLE II-based; a stray MOTHERBOARD here and there; and some spare HARD DRIVES, some of which belonged to your BRO.
You really need to clean this place up.
>Examine bookshelf.
After years of just having your books lie wherever they may, you finally got yourself a BOOKSHELF not too long ago. Among the contents are your HIGH SCHOOL YEARBOOKS, various TECHNICAL TOMES, a partial set of an OLD CHILDREN'S ENCYCLOPEDIA, and a large collection of DVD CASES and VHS TAPES.
>Examine high school yearbook.
You open the '94 yearbook and turn to your picture. You sure were a whole lot younger and thinner then!
The book has a noticeable crease in the spine from where your crush's picture was at. You were crazy about her, but for reasons you didn't quite understand at the time and couldn't possibly handle properly. Your home life was NOT VERY HAPPY, and it's entirely possible you wanted a second mom or a best friend rather than a girlfriend. This all started happening in 9th grade and only got worse after THE BIG MOVE.
It's kind of depressing to think about, and you'd rather we'd move on.
>Examine technical tomes.
You have a motley collection of TECHNICAL BOOKS, culled from years of just picking things up because they looked interesting. An old RADIO AND TELEVISION YEARBOOK, an AMATEUR RADIO HANDBOOK, a book about 8080 PROGRAMMING that you wish you had more use for...all sorts of fun things, and that's not the half of them.
