Welcome to Cyberspace Mark II. Everything is much neater now. The Void has even been painted with a fresh coat of nothing. Feel free to look around, but try to keep things tidy. The resident SysOp who single-handedly re-started Cyberspace. In case you wonder where everything went... You're standing in water that is about 19 inches deep, and telephone switching equipment surrounds you. Things are a bit cramped, but you figure you can probably get someone to expand it for you. Danger signs are posted over most of the exposed wires. You get the feeling that if you touch two of the wires at the same time, you might be transported to another place or time. m e A powerful sorceress (if you believe in that sort of thing) from the 17th dimension. Here, she resembles an average red-haired computer junkie... A long dark tunnel... Well, I like starting things some distance from the Void. Don't know why. So, this is the long tunnel between there and my space. It's my room. I can do what I want. @say1 You enter the gate, wondering where the bridge went... @say1 You return to the light... A mysterious room. The only exit from this room seems to be the dark gate directly behind you. The room itself has no lighting system that you can tell, but it is illuminated by an unseen force. The only visible object in the room is a large sparkling crystal hovering in the exact center of the small room. It seems to probe your mind, as if a single thought could send you into a whole new realm... @say1 Hmm. Why is it called "light at tunnel end" instead of "light at end of tunnel" or something? As you step into the light, a tiny voice in the back of your mind tells you, "Because that name was too long." Well, stranger things have happened... @say1 As you turn to leave, the crystal touches your mind. You appear before a towering cliff... You are suddenly afraid to move, but a strong gust of wind blows you over the edge... And you float slowly to the ground 10,000 miles below... Say! That was kinda fun... Where you started. Except you have now lost contact with the mode... You near the bottom of the ocean. There seems to be an underwater cavern here. @say1 You make your way towards the dark bottom of the ocean... A rather large-sized nest. You wonder what kind of animal would need a nest THAT big... "Abandon all hope ye who enter these woods..." Nah. What could happen to you? This is Cyberspace... The main sector where anyone would make their homes. Or bases. Or offices. Whatever you got. @say1 The azure arch glitters as you pass through... @say1 The azure arch glitters as you pass through... A towering mountain near the settlement. You wonder what could be there... You reach a semi-level area of the mountain's summit. You wonder if there's anything here... Looks like just rubble, though... @say1 You struggle your way to the top of the mountain... @say1 Getting down is actually much easier. You land with a THUD... You step into the rather warm cave. Something tells you that the cave is, or was at one time, inhabited. Maybe the furnishings tipped you off. After a few minutes, you somehow realize this is or was the personal living quarters of apprentice/Wizard Hysteria. Briefly, you wonder why someone with access to such power would choose to live in such a way, but you quickly dismiss the thought from your mind. Well, you suppose it wouldn't hurt to look around... @say1 You are one great Wizard!! @say2 You search around... Hey! There's a cave here... @say1 Something about this place gives you the creeps. You head back... A colored pencil drawing of a strange looking creature. In a way, it resembles a seahorse, an octopus, and a chicken. It guards a large light blue egg, seeming to stare into your mind with burning eyes... Two other creatures inhabit the picture: a stingray in one corner, a small purple lizard in another. You see nothing interesting about the stingray, but for some reason, the lizard draws your attention... Upon closer examination, you notice the purple lizard seems to be glowing. Wait a sec... it's turning its head toward you!?!? A somewhat dirty notebook containing a part of a historical account (or is it just someone's made-up story?). You pick it up and read the scratchy handwriting... From what you can make out, you discover that the cave, or one similar to it, used to belong to a young man named Kurt. Beyond that, you can't make anything out... A small but comfortable springy bed in the far corner of the cave. It used to belong to a young couple, but they decided to get a larger one to... oh, you know. Anyway, Hysteria figured it shouldn't go to waste, so she brought it to the cave. You look at it and grow really tired, but a thick layer of papers and such prevents you from lying down on it... An ordinary cardboard box stuffed with various papers: magazine clippings, old homework, etc. Most of them have some meaning to Hysteria, and one day she might sort through it all... A really ugly-looking but warm comforter. Well, you figure, it's not so bad in the dark... A pictorial tribute to Kurt Cobain. Hysteria never quite believed in tributes, but she got it anyway. Hey, the pictures are pretty cool... Some of Hysteria's old homework. Usually, she would throw it out, but sometimes it was worth saving. For instance, the one currently in your hand is an old Vocabulary assignment. The work itself stunk, but a few of the things she got away with made it worthwhile. Well, you suppose, with 16 Vocab words and 5 sentences for EACH WORD, you had to do something to keep your sense of humor healthy... One particularly interesting sentence catches your eye. One of the sentences using the word "condone": 69. Although Brian's parents were upset to find him in THAT position, they condoned him because he protected himself. A white eyesore of a desk. It has prints of some very ugly flowers on each drawer. On the whole, it's functional. There appears to be a silver mirror hanging over the desk. A mirror about the size of a monitor. Its silver lining glistens gently in the evening light. Your eyes are drawn to the image in the mirror... You focus your eyes on the image in the mirror. Your reflection fades, and it seems that you are fading from existance, but then you realize it's a trans-dimensional viewer! Or just one of those mirrors that records events in the same room... either way, the image now shows a tall, semi-muscular young man with red-black hair. He steps across the room, stopping in front of a much cleaner springy bed. Then, a brown haired young girl enters the picture, so to speak, and walks to his side. "Kurt?" she asks, and the young man almost flinches when she speaks. "What's wrong? How can I help?" For an instant, silence. Then the young man turns around. "You followed me here," he states calmly. "Why won't you let me be? I no longer welcome your company." "Why, Kurt? Why do you desert us?" she pleads. "Don't call me that!" yells the young man as he turns to face the wall. Almost in rage yet almost in helplessness, he speaks in a barely audible tone. "... You ... deserted ... me ..." The image starts to fade, and you cry out, wanting to help. To no avail. The couple in the image are far beyond your grasp, and your reflection returns to full view. Slightly sad, you turn away... According to the Virtual Screwdriver, he's "some guy". Lives with the SysOp CtG, because they're brothers. @say1 You sit down on the slide and push off. You take a very long downwards plunge; the slide is very slick. After slidding at a sharp angle for several moments, it evens out and you come to a stop. You get up, heart still pounding to look at your new surroundings. @say1 You sit donw on the slide and push off. You rappidly go downwards for several moments. Your heart beats faster as you fall faster. Finnaly the slide evens out and you come to a stop. You stand up and look at your new surroundings. @say1 It is a long and grueling task to climb back up a slide that is this slick and this big. But after lots of hard work, you finnaly make it to the top. Some old character from the infamous Star Trek series Flimsy, soggy. It's what looks like an old TV box, with some sort of Turkish writing on it or something. The flaps on one end hang open, and you can see a small pool of light on the ground from the light inside it. @say1 You climb through the boxflap, and bearly squeeze through without ripping the corners. The inside of the box is surprisingly spacious. In fact, there is a desk in one corner, with a large grey swivel chair. A bookcase on the opposite wall holds stacks of books, magazines, and computer printouts. There is a small fishbowl on top of it. A few posters line the walls, and a dim desklamp sits on the floor in front of the desk. Something that looks like a computer turned inside out is on one corner of the desk. You decide not to touch it for fear of electrocution. A smallish jeweled key that Chris uses to keep pesky animations out of his stuff. It really comes in handy. Here's how you make an exit animation-proof: First, /go-ok the exit to wherever it's supposed to go. Then, /key the exit to your key. Finally, /go-fail the exit to where it is supposed to go. That way, when people without the key go through the exit, they end up where they are supposed to be. When you do have the key, you end up in the same place. When you are an animation, you can't go through the exit. Clever, isn't it. The box flaps lead back out to the Commons area referred to as the "Settlement." @say1 You climb out, nearly slipping on the wet cardboard. Somebody. A small piece of paper you find lying on the ground. It has a message on it in a somewhat strange handwriting. "Hello. Unless you do something with this note, only you should be able to see this, CtG. Anyway, I guess Wizards can use keyed exits without the key because that's how I got here. I read your key about Animation-proof areas and remembered this insidiously genius trick I did toward the end of the last Cyberspace's existance and thought you might like to hear it. It's a near fool-proof Animation Trap. You simply create a room with a /dark exit so any normal users would not know of its existance. Then you make another room from the hidden room. Animations that move will eventually wander into the room and, with only the other room to go into, will be "trapped". The second room is highly necessary, as an animation that walks into a room with no exit merely returns to the Void. But as long as it has at least one connecting room to go to, an animation will remain there until freed. It's really a work of genius... --the semi-Wizard Hysteria..." It's a night shot of Kurt posing on a bridge. He seems very depressed, and you almost feel his true color blue eyes burning through you... The strange looking yellow-orange seahorse/octopus?/chicken creature. It guards its most valuable possession, a pure baby blue egg that shines softly in the watery light... Underneath the message is a small post-script: "Oh, NOW I get it... I just went through the keyed exit as a Wizard, but as a regular Person, I understand now... okay, cool. Anyway, the trap is a good idea, too. Until others start wondering where their Animations went." You are now in a mysterious cave. You can't see a thing. @say1 You dive back into the ocean... @say1 You head back to the surface. Something tells you that repeatedly swimming up and down won't help you... A real LaM3R. Doesn't even have a REAL account. You find yourself immersed completely in water. Suddenly, you realize the surface is hundreds of feet above you! As you struggle to the surface, you accidentally breathe in some water... And you discover that you can breathe in it! Feeling behind your ear, you find a set of gills... There doesn't seem to be much of interest in the area. Maybe you could go exploring, now that breathing is no longer a problem... @say2 The sound of rushing water grows steadily nearer... nearer... @say1 Just the thought of the mysterious crystal sends you from the watery depths to the dark area of the mode... Sturdy leather wings. They take the holder anywhere in Cyberspace, with the proper /go-ok link, of course. A beautiful gem. It seems to pull you into another world... @say1 You cool-o Wizard, you. @say2 As you reach out to touch the crystal, a strong electric shock zaps through your body... A tiny voice in your head tells you that only thoughts are necessary... You approach the surface of the ocean... As quick as he is, you've apparently been able to look at him! Wild Thing is a average looking PsYcHoPaTh! swinging a broad axe! Not much more too it than that... @say1 You head toward the surface. @say1 You head further to the bottom... @say1 You wander into the cavern... Just part of the animation trap. You can leave if ya want, but animations can't. Wah ha ha ha ha!! A small sector of the forest. Well, no one else was doing anything... The second half of the animation trap. You can leave if you want... Just type something. Heh heh... You have been swallowed whole by a giant snake. You are dead. No, wait. You're not dead... yet. Try jumping or something. @say1 You wander along... SNAP!! @say1 You jump... The snake feels nauseated... It spews you through the air, and you land with a loud PLOP. @say1 Okay, you found the secret exit to... A semi-provocative card. The picture on front shows a couple (from about the knees down) eager to "do it". Inside is the message, "I have an idea where we can spend your birthday." Also written inside is a long message written in pencil, mostly quoting lyrics that show the tie between love and death. Otherwise, the message generally summarizes the giver's love (and desire) for the receiver. You feel somewhat happy for this pair, for they sound like such a lovely couple... then you feel somewhat lonely... A drawer in the desk. You open it, revealing a birthday card... A dark, eerie world. Created from the mind of someone who watched the movie version of Clyde Barker's LORD OF ILLUSIONS (in the theater. extra scary), this place reeks of special effects and scary scenarios bound to send you screaming. For those who can make it through, great reward awaits... However, those that fail are forever haunted by the dark forces that penetrate the soul, from the instant one sets foot upon that fateful suspension bridge... Choose, mortal... @say1 You neat-o Wizard, you. @say2 Hmm... you remember these things from playgrounds. You make your way shakily across... @say1 Cool. You got the mag. @say2 At first, the bridge seems too weak to bear your weight, ready to break at any moment... Then you realize it's just an illusion, and you creak your way back... A rotting sign, covered with cobwebs. It reads: "The most horrible creation known to man or beast awaits your visit... If you should survive this abomination, you will be praised forever. BUT, if you fail... well, they have a nice tombstone factory nearby. Enjoy." Suddenly, you find yourself in a vast expanse of desert region. There is a run-down old house here, and every so often you hear sounds coming from inside, like chanting. Sporadically, you see a burst of flame through one of the windows... @say1 You find a long, winding path leading to a creaky old house... @say1 Okay... but it won't do you much good... A rickety old house. Its windows are broken, the door is falling off its hinges, and the roof is about to collapse. Through the nearest window, you see an occasional flash of fire and smell a highly nauseating smell... You are in the main hallway of the house. The walls are made from a cheap material of some sort. You guess that you could punch your fist straight through the wall... SLAM! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... Well, looks like someone DID punch his fist straight through the wall... Into an electrical board. The highly mutilated (and now electrified) crazed fanatic now lies at your feet dead... wait a sec... Fanatic? You kick the guy over, carefully avoiding the electricity. Yep, the guy's a fanatic. Shaved his head and sat on glass and everything. Must be a cult nearby... @say1 Cool. A Wizard or some crap. @say2 CREE-AK!! SLAM!! The door locks behind you... You have entered a large gathering room with mysterious runes decorating the walls. Actually, there's already a gathering here... The group of cultists before you listen intently to their leader's stories. No one seems to have noticed you yet. Suddenly you see a familiar flash... Fire? The leader is juggling a ball of fire! How...? The cult leader yells a proud "Death to the Non-Believers!" and the group echoes his shouts. Then, with a flash, he tosses a ball of fire... STRAIGHT AT YOU!!!! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! @say1 You make your way down the hall... @say1 Ha! You Wizard you. @say2 Dummy. The door's fused shut. Looks like yer stuck here, bub. All of the sudden, a curtain rises. A previously unseen audience claps loudly, and high above, you notice an odd device holding several swords... POINTED STRAIGHT AT YOU?!?!? WAIT A SECOND!!!! You try to get out of the way, but you are bound to a round platform by the wrists, ankles, waist, and neck. Some dancers move gracefully about you, anxiously awaiting the illusion... Hold on, you're supposed to be a PERFORMER?!?!? You don't know ANYTHING about doing illusions!!!! @say1 You cool-o Wizard, you. @say2 You fall flat on the floor, narrowly avoiding the flame... You are now atop a towering cliff. @say2 You leap in the air, higher than you ever thought you could... (Hey, it's Cyberspace. You can do that...) The flame passes below you, but you don't notice... Suddenly, the platform begins spinning slowly. The sword device moves accordingly. Quickly, you deduce that if you don't do something soon, the swords will speed down at your frail body in this order: Right arm, head, left arm, left leg, right leg, lower neck, stomach, and finally, your heart. Then you realize there's a small knife hidden in your right sleeve... @say1 You struggle to break your bonds, but to no avail... SWING! CHINK! The first sword lands just as you move your arm out of the way. Well, seven to go... Better hurry, that next sword looks about to drop... @say1 You slip the knife out of your sleeve and crack open the bond... Well, somehow you've appeared in a nice motel bathroom. You don't have any clothes on, but that's okay because, after what you've been through, you want to just take a nice hot shower... @say1 Your mind freezes as the next sword plummets straight between your eyes... SWING! CHINK! The next sword falls just inches from your head, just as you moved it away. Well, six to go... @say1 Quickly, you struggle to break the bond at your neck... All eyes turn to you as they realize that you aren't the performer they expected. An announcer strolls up. "Well," he says. "Looks like our usual performer isn't here. Why don't we make the best of it, what do you say?" The audience cheers as you start to sweat. What does THAT mean, make the best of it? You have nanoseconds to find out... And all at once, the swords are released from the device... ???? YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! @say1 HEEEEELLLLLPPPPPPPPPP!!!! I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE!!!! As you enjoy your short rest from the Nightmare, you start to wonder if it was a good idea to come here... Suddenly... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! A dark figure tears open the shower curtain, wielding a knife! @say1 You climb into the shower stall... After a few seconds, a steady stream of hot water pours over you... A small pocket knife. It looks like it could easily break your bonds... SWING! CHINK! (splop) YAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!! The next sword fell too quickly! Your left arm's been impaled! The audience starts to panic, but still keeping calm, as if this were REALLY an act. Well, if they only knew... SWING! CHINK! (splop) YAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!! @say1 You reach for the bond at your left arm... SWING! CHINK! (splop) D---!! Now your other leg's been impaled by the falling swords. You notice one of the dancers flinch as you become more blood-soaked from your wounds. Why don't they STOP the act if they KNOW something's wrong???? SWING! CHINK! (splop) YAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!! There goes your neck... @say1 You struggle to pull out the swords now in your arm and leg... SWING! CHINK! (splop) You're REALLY in trouble now... THAT sword went through your stomach. Which means the NEXT one is the heart... If you're lucky, that's instant death. If not, then... SWING!... YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!! SWISH! SWISH! SWISH! (thunk thunk thunk) The psycho stabs you numerous times before finally leaving... You collapse to the shower floor, bleeding profusely... @say1 CHINK!... **NOTE** If you're REALLY squeamish, you might not want to keep going. In fact, if it's THAT bad, you shouldn't even BE here... If you want to bail, type CLICK HEELS TOGETHER at the prompt... --The Management @say1 Care to say "There's no place like home" as well? @say1 Your mind freezes as the swords plummet straight towards you... A beautiful prism. It seems to pull you into another realm... @say1 Haven't you done this before? Your lungs are about given out... But you scream anyway... AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! I decided to kill the section that WAS here... it was getting kinda sick and I FELT sick creating it... more so than making the platform thing... So... when I get a better idea, you'll see a new message here... @say1 You don't need any more help there... You black out... @say1 What are you THINKING?!?!? You can't fly!!!! You plummet quickly into the boiling lava below... @say1 The short cut for those who don't want to brave the depths of the nightmare world. Losers. A waterproof hand-held flashlight. It might come in handy... You enter a small room where several creatures are talking... They resemble certain popular video game/comic book characters... "What the...? Who's that? Get 'em!" Uh, oh. You've been spotted. Now what? @say1 As the door creaks slowly open, the voices grow louder... Uh, oh. They're right on your heels, now. Just when you think you can lose them... "HA! Gotcha!" From out of nowhere, a giant arm grabs you then pins you against the wall. As the sudden pain shoots through your body, you look up to see... A large beige cat. "Alright, bub. Who are you, and what do you want?" Well, you might have intended to hurt the guy badly, but somehow it only aroused him more. He pushes his dick completely into your mouth and comes profusely. You gag on it and spit it out, feeling absolutely sick. The guests only laugh at you, and more come to watch. A couple even take some pictures of you... @say1 You bite down on his little dick with all your might... A rather non-descript throne. Unusual, considering most thrones you've seen are rather ostentatious. @say1 With a remarkable feat of strength, you manage to pull yourself out of their grasp... You find yourself in a long, winding tunnel. After traveling some distance into the cave, you find several doors. Voices seem to come from the first door on your left... @say1 You flick on the light, illuminating the cave ahead of you... @say2 You head deeper into the cave, unable to see a thing... Aak. You're having a little trouble breathing. Looks like you're going to be a fish for a while... Better get back in the water soon. This is a small island. There is a chest nearby, partially buried under the sand. Other than that, there are palm trees. Exciting, huh? @say1 You head to the sandy beach... @say1 You're running out of air. As you hop back in the ocean, you find your breath returning to you... A rotting chest. You wonder if there's treasure in it... Nope. There's absolutely nothing in the chest... @say1 Creeak!! Aha! You find a small flashlight underneath the chest. You check... yes! It has good batteries! Aak. Uh oh. You're running out of breath. Fast. As you fall, you glance straight down... ?? What the... ?? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! There's a giant pool of lava below you!! OH, NO!!!! @say1 Now why would you want to do that? Oh, well... You plummet helplessly to the ground, ten thousand miles below... Well, that was a mistake... You swim straight into the waiting jaws of a giant pirahna... @say1 You can't waste any more of your time. You jump back in the water before Your breath runs out... @say1 You can't waste any more of your time. You leap back into the water, taking a deep breath... @say1 Your head spins wildly as you wake from your favorite dream... You enter a small room with nothing of interest in it. @say1 The door slides noiselessly open. @say1 The door slides noiselessly shut. This room appears to be a meeting hall of some sort. Pressently, no one is here. There are a few tables in the room, in addition to a throne on the far wall. @say1 The double doors of this room fall open at the slightest touch. Several wood tables occupy the room. You see nothing of great interest... well, except maybe that scratched design on one table... A small hand-carved design in one of the tables. It resembles a heart with the initials M.P. and M.L. in it... The Immortal Lord of the Night This is Limbo, home of Lord Night... Its a bit dark here, infact there is no light in here, have fun... This is a Big 'Ole Gaping hole in Time and Space... @SAY1 You feel slightly upset to your stomach as you pass through the Hole in Time and Space and your molecular structure is changed to the consistency of crunchy peanut butter... This is yet another Big 'Ole Gaping Hole in Time and Space @SAY1 You feel ever so distrubed passing through the Hole as your molecular structure is changed back to whatever it was... This is Lord Night's ever present and ever useful GOO!!! It can take on many shapes and forms, whatever Lord Night may wish it to be. Sometimes he even sticks stuff in it is sorta sticky... It is even darker here since you don't have the light of the hole to see by, hope you can make it back... This is just an a quarter, the year on it reads, umm, lemme see, ahh there we go, its from 2379! Wow, they still have quarters then? BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! "You... will... die... mortal. TOASTY!" Whups. Looks like there's some kind of security device installed... The owner must not like people messing up her stuff... [What kind of stupid security message IS that, anyway?] While you are thinking about your predicament, the creature in the picture leaps at you... YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!! The Guardian whacks you full from behind, and you find yourself sailing through the air... You lie down in the bed, recalling all the memories you had of this bed before it was moved to the cave. Stretching out, you dream of the days when you and W.B. were together... [For Non-Hysteria users, meaning anyone else] What on earth are you doing messing up H.'s stuff? You wouldn't be able to sleep on her bed w/o moving all the papers and junk on there! Could you please move as soon as possible so as to do the least amount of damage? Thank you! (Geez, I gotta get better security...) @say1 As you soar through the air, you do your best eagle imitation to try to slow your impact with the ground... You land with a harsh THUNK, splitting into millions of pieces. Your pieces slowly melt in the warm air, and you do a cheap T2 impersonation. Soon, you regain your former shape... @say1 You lie on your boyfriend's springy bed, Hysteria. Go ahead and nap awhile. @say2 You decide it wouldn't hurt to take a quick snooze... @say1 Your very essence cries out as you wake from your favorite dream... You eventually and unwillingly get up... @say1 You cool-o Wizard, you. @say2 Okay! You've found the secret exit to... A cuddly little marshmallow-like, demon-like, winged creature from the depths of Final Fantasy III... For some reason, he only seems to say one thing... You have entered an alternate dimension, a place where, logically, you cannot exist. Everything about you spins wildly as you try to focus on one object... SWISH!! A hyper-cube flies past, as you slam harsly into a hyper-sphere and bounce around like a tennis ball. Apparently, in this world, you exist only as a plane... @say1 Well, it looks like you just said "the magic word"... @say1 As you place the litter into the dimensional gate's slot, you feel yourself being sucked into another world... @say2 The only exit you see is a small gate with a slot in it. Unless you have the appropriate key, it looks like you might not get out of this place... A random piece of litter in an otherwise tidy Cyberspace. You wonder who would be so cruel to dump their garbage here... It appears to be a shred of a newspaper, but the words are scratched, and you can only make out: ...t...He e... XI ...t ke... y? Hmm... you wonder what it could mean... What are YOU looking at? Hello! Somebody This guy... you know? .54 Calibre Minie' bullet. It whizzes slowly through the air. Look out, dude! If it hits you, the bone will shatter, not be merely clipped. The notorious Jumping Frog of Dustyville. It exists merely to annoy innocent people. Down with animation traps! The cat seems astonished. @say1 You quickly stammer out your name and how you arrived here... When you open your eyes, you find the mode gone, and in its place is a hot, dry desertscape. A tumbleweed rolls by, and at your feet is a familiar cattle skull, typical of any desert scene. Odd, here is a road... @say1 A dry wind suddenly blows, pushing you along... @say1 Cool. A Wizard being. @say2 Just the very thought of the mysterious crystal sends you flying from the cracked desert to the dark area of the mode... A long, winding asphalt road. It looks awfully familiar... A typical old, weather-beaten cattle skull used in many desert and/or Western settings. Makes you feel right at home... Indiana Jones hates them. As you walk along the road, you hear a faint whirring noise.. ** ATTENTION ** In an effort to create an enjoyable Cyberspace, we of the...

Thank you for your time. --The Management-- A rather attractive young man straight out of a video game. He seems to lead you somewhere... @say1 You really don't care to have your brains splattered all over the landscape and look for another way out... You are now in the house of Jason Hampton (fron the Moon) by looking around you wonder what kind of animal lives in this wreck. There is clothes and old pizza boxes all over. There is One Table and a Refridgerator other than that it is empty. You look in the fridge and it is empty other than one Dr. Pepper Bottle and a box of yeah you guessed it old pizza. This is just a basic hall. You can describe this room in one word "Yuck!" This is Jason's Bed Room You can he his Queen Sized water bed to the right. This is Jason's bed a lot of fun times have been done in this bed. This is the home of the pimp daddy! Come on in all you good looking chicks!
