Welcome to Gaia! ::

You are an AUTHOR. A CHRONICLER OF CHARACTERS. A WEAVER OF DREAMSCAPES. You are capable of SUMMONING GREAT BURSTS OF CREATIVITY in the form of ORIGINAL CHARACTERS.

You are having difficulty recalling your name, as is often the case with such creative people. It's on the tip of your tongue. What is it, it's...

>_

> William Timothy Francis Bonqueesha.

> Steve Smith.

Right, of course it's Steve Smith.

You are bolted to the floor. There are LOCKED STEEL BANDS wrapped over your arms, chest, and legs. You have no KEY or BOLT CUTTERS, and your hands are too tightly bound to use them anyway.

> Check Inventory

You have FIVE (5) BOTTLES OF MOUNTAIN DEW; THREE (3) EGG SALAD SANDWICHES; a BALL OF TWINE; a SMALL KNIFE; a WALLET containing a few DOLLARS and your ID CARD.

> Examine self

You are bolted to the floor and completely immobilized. Your VITALITY INKWELL is full, and only ONE (1) of your FICTATION SPHERES is glowing in your CREATIVITY BAUBLE.

What will you do?

>_

Steve: Examine Creativity Bauble.

>Steve: Use BURST OF CREATIVITY to SUMMON ABIGAIL!

ABIGAIL appears, exhausting your remaining FICTATION SPHERE. She seriously considers carving your face off for MOTHER, but is swayed by her WAY RUDE HUNGER and frees you in exchange for one EGG SALAD SANDWICH, then disappears.

You are now free and standing upright. Your CREATIVITY BAUBLE is empty.

>_

You make a CAT'S CRADLE and a JACOB'S LADDER and then you have to wind the TWINE back into a neat ball to put it away again. This was totally not a waste of time!
