You're now chatting with a random stranger. Say hi!

A word of advice: "asl" is boring. Please find something more interesting

to talk about!

You: [Welcome to Element, a text adventure.]

Stranger: oh cool

You: You are sitting at your study desk; there is a fire blazing in the

fire place.

You: The only exit is a door to your east, leading to the stair room.

You: The walls are covered with bookshelves.

Stranger: o shit i bet theres a blood thirsty killer down the stairs

Stranger: k so i go east

You: You are still sitting down.

Stranger: ok ok then i guess i stand up and go east ...but ill take the

chair with me

Stranger: just in case

You: You get up from your comfortable seat with a great sigh. You know

that there is work to be done.

You: The seat is attached to the floor; it won't budge.

You: You go east, arriving in the stair room.

You: There are exits to the east and west, and a long wooden spiral

staircase leading down.

Stranger: i go down

You: The staircase creaks loudly, and you balance yourself on the banister

to avoid falling. You really must fix these stairs someday, you think to

yourself.

You: You arrive safely at the bottom, in the [House Entrance].

You: There are many shoes arranged neatly along the Main Door to your

north.

You: There is a wooden staircase leading up.

Stranger: duh

You: Your butler looks at you expectantly.

Stranger: um why ?

You: [Do you mean to ask him? If so, you need to address him.]

Stranger: ok so i have to do this like im in a MUD

Stranger: ok

Stranger: so talk to butler

You: [What do you want to say to the butler?]

Stranger: say what are ya looking at ?

You: The butler responds "Only admiring your coat, sir".

Stranger: go north

You: The door is closed.

Stranger: *sigh* open door

You: The butler rushes to your assistance. "Sir! Surely you do not wish to

leave on a cold night such as this!"

Stranger: tell butler yes i do

You: The butler says "I'm afraid that is not an option, sir. I must attend

to you.".

You: He blocks the door with his body and coughs.

Stranger: say you can come along if ye want

You: "Thank you, sir, but it is simply out of the question. I am required

to keep you safe inside."

Stranger: say so what am i supposed to do to kiil the boredom ?

You: "You have your study upstairs! You have thousands of books on any

subject you could conceive of."

Stranger: go up the stairs

Stranger: tell me the exits

You: [I assume you meant: Go up the stairs.]

You: You ascend the creaky staircase slowly, careful not to lose your

balance.

You: You are in the stair room; your study is to the west, and your

bedroom is to the east.

Stranger: Go east

You: You go into your bedroom.

You: The entire surface of the floor is a large, springy mattress.

You: There are many closets along the north wall; the south wall holds a

large computer monitor and three buttons.

Stranger: Open closet

You: You open a closet. Your clothes are neatly arranged inside, smelling

freshly laundered.

Stranger: Start computer

You: [Please rephrase that command.]

Stranger: umm

Stranger: Push button

You: Which button do you want to push: The red button, the green button,

or the blue button?

Stranger: Push the red button

You: The screen turns on to show the Mandelbrot set; it is quite

beautiful, and animated in fascinating ways.

Stranger: examine set

You: [I assume you mean: examine the Mandelbrot set]

Stranger: yeah

You: It is breathtakingly beautiful, and, as always, you see patterns in

it that you have not noticed before.

You: You will never tire of this fractal, you are sure.

Stranger: push green

You: You push the green button; the computer screen shows a picture of the

butler guarding the door, taken through one of your hidden cameras.

Stranger: ...

Stranger: push blue

You: You push the blue button. A voice sounds throughout the house: "Push

blue button twice more to confirm". You see, on the screen, that your

butler has left the door.

You: You hear the stairs creaking.

Stranger: go west two times

Stranger: fast

You: You go west and see your butler just coming out of the staircase.

You: He stops you.

Stranger: damn

You: "Sir! You must be more careful!"

You: The butler walks east into your bedroom, where you hear clicking

sounds and loud beeps coming from the computer.

You: He then leaves the bedroom and returns downstairs.

You: The staircase creaks loudly.

Stranger: go east

Stranger: push blue

You: You return to your bedroom.

Stranger: push blue twice more times

You: You push the blue button. The computer does not respond.

You: You push the blue button. The computer does not respond.

You: You push the blue button. The computer does not respond.

Stranger: ok go west twice

Stranger: and search for items

You: You return to your study.

You: You see many books around you; on your desk is an ashtray.

Stranger: take ashtray

You: You pick up the ashtray, empty it onto the floor (the butler will

clean it up, surely), and add it to your inventory.

Stranger: go down the stairs until i see the butler

You: [First going east to the stair room.]

You: The staircase creaks loudly.

You: The butler is standing in front of the door. He coughs gently.

Stranger: hit butler in the head with ashtray

You: The ashtray shatters to pieces on his head.

You: He presses a button on his belt and cleaning robots come inside and

remove the glass from the floor.

Stranger: isnt he knocked down ?

Stranger: nevermind

Stranger: say you MUST let me go out

You: "I'm very sorry, sir. It is in my contract: I must not allow you to

leave."

Stranger: say what do you mean in your contract...am I a prisoner

Stranger: ?

You: "That is an ugly word, sir. You are being guarded for safety."

Stranger: say protected from what ?

Stranger: [wow this is getting interesting]

You: "Assassination, sir, as you are well aware."

Stranger: hmm

Stranger: say it seems like i have no other option

Stranger: kick butler in the balls , open door and run north

You: "Pardon me, sir?"

Stranger: that would work in real life

You: "Sir!"

You: The butler is well trained for combat situations, and much faster

than you.

You: He deflects your attack with ease, picks you up, and carries you

upstairs to your bedroom.

You: [Bedroom]

You: The computer screen shows the butler guarding the door.

Stranger: push blue button

Stranger: then push blue button twice to confirm

You: Nothing happens.

You: You realize the butler must have done something to the computer.

Stranger: search for windows

You: There are no windows in your house; the butler had them boarded up

for safety.

Stranger: hmmm

Stranger: [can you give me a hint :( ? ]

You: Hint: Check your inventory

Stranger: ok check inventory

You: You are carrying your pipe (lit), a book of matches, and a handgun.

Stranger: examine handgun

Stranger: is it loaded ?

You: It is a derringer, made to be easily concealed. You managed to

acquire it without your butler's knowledge.

You: It is loaded.

Stranger: go west and down the stairs

You: You go to your the stair room and climb downwards.

You: The stairs creak loudly.

You: The butler stands in front of the door, guarding it.

Stranger: point handgun at butler

Stranger: say let me go

You: The butler looks at you straight in eye, and says "I cannot".

Stranger: (if he dows something shoot him)

Stranger: (does*)

You: He looks terrified, but is attempting to hide it.

Stranger: say i'm sorry

Stranger: shoot butler

You: The butler screams and begins to bleed.

You: He attempts to talk, but fails.

Stranger: open door

Stranger: say"farewell" and go north

You: You can see that the butler is mortally wounded.

You: The cleaning robots can see it too, apparently; they come in, remove

his corpse, and scrub the floor quickly.

You: You open the door; instead of the cold wind that you were expecting,

you see a brightly lit corridor.

Stranger: examine corridor

You: It streches ahead for as long as you can see.

You: It is completely spotless; you cannot see a speck of dust anywhere.

Stranger: keep going north

You: You continue north.

You: You feel your heart beating quickly; you know that this is unsafe.

You: You continue walking.

You: You hear loud whirring noises.

You: You walk ahead regardless.

You: You see the door close, far behind you.

Stranger: look north

You: There is a large glowing spot on the floor a few meters away.

You: It turns from red to green to blue, and back again.

Stranger: touch spot

You: [Do you mean when it is red, when it is green, or when it is blue?]

Stranger: touch it when it is blue

You: The corridor begins to shake. Far ahead, to the north, you see a

shape that resembles the butler running toward you.

You: It is riding on a cleaning robot.

Stranger: shoot the robot

You: You shoot the robot, which grinds to halt.

You: The butler jumps off and resumes running.

Stranger: shoot butler

You: You shoot the butler just before he reaches you. As he dies, he falls

onto the glowing spot (while it is green).

You: His body instantly disappears.

Stranger: check handgun to see how many bullets i have left

You: You have 1 bullet left.

Stranger: touch the spot when it's green

You: You find yourself back inside the entrance room.

You: You see the butler's corpse on the floor; it is soon cleared away by

the cleaning robot.

You: You have a sense of deja vu.

Stranger: open the door , and go north until i reach the spot again

You: You open the door and run north.

You: The door soon closes behind you.

Stranger: touch spot when it's red

You: You touch the spot and suddenly become dizzy.

You: The world becomes blurry around you, and you feel an intense pain in

your temple.

You: You faint.

You: As you regain consciousness, you see bright colors all around you;

you realize that you are falling down, but do not see any bottom.

Stranger: examine surroundings

You: They are strangely familiar, and exceedingly beautiful.

You: You try to hold on to them, but your hands pass right through the

colors.

You: The falling soon becomes tiring.

You: You have been falling for several minutes now.

Stranger: hmm i'm sure im not actually falling ,its an illusion

Stranger: pass trough the walls of colour

You: You feel the sensation of free fall.

You: You are not able to maneuver while you are falling!

Stranger: look down

You: Blackness.

You: You realize that, somehow, you are in the Mandelbrot set.

You: You look around with a new-found appreciation. You have always

enjoyed fractals.

You: You begin to relax.

Stranger: damn i must be on LSD

Stranger: continue

You: You puff your pipe contentedly.

You: You are still falling.

Stranger: wait for a few more minutes

Stranger: still falling ?

You: You relax, and examine the self-similar patterns.

You: You continue smoking your pipe.

Stranger: ok so im trapped in an endless loop.....

You: You run out of tobacco in your pipe.

You: As you clear it out with your finger, you notice a small object

inside.

Stranger: examine the small object

You: It appears to be a camera of some sort.

Stranger: use camera ?

You: You press the single button on top of the camera.

You: There is a bright flash.

You: A picture comes out of it.

You: But this picture is not of the fractal, but of your bedroom!

You: You see yourself on the screen.

Stranger: hmm

Stranger: ...

Stranger: i'm stuck

Stranger: take another picture ?

You: There is a bright flash.

You: Another picture comes out of the camera. Paradoxically, the picture

is of the camera itself.

Stranger: i knew it was all an illusion !

Stranger: take a picture of my face so the bright flash will make me blind

for a second and maybe i'll wake up in my room

Stranger: ...

You: You phtograph your face.

You: There is a bright flash, and you hear a picture coming out of the

camera.

You: For a moment you are blind, but gradually your vision resolves.

You: You are unfortunately still in the fractal.

You: The picture that came out of the camera was of the corridor.

Stranger: ok can i recive a hint ?

You: Hint: Try examining some of the items in your inventory.

Stranger: check inventory

You: You are carrying: Your pipe (empty), a book of matches, a tiny

camera, a picture of your bedroom, a picture of your camera, and a picture

of the corridor.

Stranger: examine the picture of my camera

You: It is glowing.

Stranger: in RGB again ?

You: It is glowing in the colors of the picture.

Stranger: touch it

You: You touch the picture, and feel yourself disappearing... But you

immediately reappear at the same place.

Stranger: oh i get it

Stranger: touch the picture of the corridor

You: You touch the picture, and feel yourself disappearing...

You: You reappear in the corridor.

You: You see a broken cleaning robot.

Stranger: examine it

You: It is the robot that you previously shot. It has dirty boot marks on

it; apparently the butler was outside shortly before stepping on it.

Stranger: go north but ignore the spot

You: You continue north.

You: The corridor goes on, and on, and on, for kilometers...

You: You find yourself becoming tired.

You: You stop to rest for a while.

Stranger: keep going maybe i'll find somethng

You: You continue.

You: The place is no longer so spotless; in fact, it is filthy.

You: There are large spiders crawling on the ceiling.

You: You stop to admire the fractal nature of their legs.

Stranger: look north

You: To your north, the spider-webs become thicker and thicker, and the

spiders more plentiful.

You: Farther on, the webs become so thick that you cannot see through

them.

Stranger: go north

Stranger: light a match

Stranger: and throw it on the webs

You: You stop at the thick webs.

You: You throw the match at the webs.

You: They catch fire instantly; they soon shrivel, as do the spiders

unfortunate enough to have been on them.

You: Beyond the webs, you see sunlight.

Stranger: yay

Stranger: north

You: You walk outside, and take your first breath of fresh air for over 20

years.

You: It is calming...

You: You look around you.

You: The area is covered with grass, and you see tall trees.

Stranger: look at the building at my south

You: It is large and colorful.

You: There is a statue on its roof.

Stranger: so now i can go in any way ?

You: You are surrounded by a thick forest; you probably could not make

your way through the trees if you tried.

Stranger: hmm

Stranger: climb a tree and examine my suroundings

You: The trees are completely smooth, and you are quite weak.

You: You do not manage to climb.

Stranger: take a picture of the forest to see if it's real

You: You press the button in your camera.

You: The flash is not nearly so bright in the sunlight.

You: A picture emerges... In it, you see your study.

Stranger: examine the picture

You: Its glow is very faint in the sunlight.

Stranger: touch it

You: You disappear for a moment, and then reappear in your study.

Stranger: oh wait i have to go

Stranger: sorry

Stranger: bye
