Several options in the game are context sensitive, and the [b][Things][/b] with which you can interact are denoted by the pair of brackets: [b][...][/b] and corresponding color.[/i] [indent] > Things that appear in [color=lightblue][b][Blue][/b][/color] only work with Inspect. > Things that appear in [color=orange][b][Orange][/b][/color] work with Inspect and Pocket. > Things that appear in [color=yellow][b][Yellow][/b][/color] work with Inspect and Talk. > Things that appear in [color=green][b][Green][/b][/color] work with Inspect and Go. > Things that appear in [color=violet][b][Purple][/b][/color] work with All Options. [b]NOTE:[/b] [i]All[/i] Options can be used with [i]All[/i] Things, but if you vote for something that doesn't [b]work[/b], you'll [b][i]usually[/i][/b] just get a nonsense reply. Specify an option and thing in the following format to have it count towards the vote. FOR: [color=limegreen]Inspect > Soil[/color] AGAINST: [color=red]Inspect > Soil[/color] [/indent][/indent] [hr] [indent][h3]Part 001[/h3] [color=lightblue][b][You][/b][/color] awaken in a [color=green][b][Hole][/b][/color] deep beneath the [color=lightblue][b][Surface][/b][/color]. The [color=orange][b][Soil][/b][/color] is moist and compact, oozing a beautiful, terrible array of sights and [color=lightblue][b][Smells][/b][/color]. [color=orange][b][Bits of Worms][/b][/color] wriggle on the floor as if they had been cut in half, and the tails of tiny burrowing [color=violet][b][Rodents][/b][/color] peek at you from the threshold of various small [color=green][b][Tunnels][/b][/color]. After a moment, they scamper off into the [color=lightblue][b][Darkness][/b][/color] with a flurry of little squeaks. A [color=lightblue][b][Soft Light][/b][/color] illuminates the confines of the hole and fills you with a warm sense of composure and dignity. It makes everything feel alright. Even taking into account the fact that you're in a dank pit somewhere, you seem to be doing alright for yourself. Though... you're not sure exactly how it is that you came to be here. Just a short while ago, you were in your usual spot: sitting at your prized [color=lightblue][b][Desk][/b][/color] and playing an [color=lightblue][b][Online Video Game][/b][/color] with your arch-rival and resident scrub, [color=lightblue][b][CrybabyBanana413][/b][/color]. You can't stand that girl... She's one of [i]those[/i] kinds of people... a roleplayer. You're definitely no good with that sort of person. You became so fed up with her happy-go-lucky bullshit that you lost all composure and refused to lose at any cost! Let's see... After that there was a [color=lightblue][b][Loud Beeping][/b][/color] that filled your [color=lightblue][b][Apartment][/b][/color] and a sudden surge of heat licking at your heels and neck. A cloud of [color=lightblue][b][Noxious Smoke][/b][/color] descended upon your furiously gaming form and burnt your eyes front to back, as if someone had forcefully shoved your head into a barbecue grill full of smoldering coals. Ah... then you suffocated and passed out. The last thing you remember are the words [b]"Invader Repelled!"[/b] flashing on your monitor with an accompanying victory jingle. Good for you, you won! Just not at life, it seems. [indent][u][b]Options[/b][/u] > Attack > Go > Inspect > Pocket > Talk [/indent][/indent]
