Revenge of the Text Adventure Meme



You are in a Dreamwidth community on the internet. There are a number of posts on it, each of them containing a number of non-canonical situations affectionately known as "memes." You think you might have seen this meme before, but you can't be certain.

There is a post here.

Which one?

"Congratulations! You are now the player avatar of a text adventure! You have full control of the setting and the environment! The only problem is, you have no control over your own actions! But don't worry, the people responding to you have all bought copies of it and are more than willing to guide you in the right direction! We hope."

> TRANSLATE INTO CLEARER LANGUAGE


So here's the deal: You devise a setting for a text adventure for your character to star in; the people replying to you get to input commands as to what your character actually DOES, and you show the results of said action. And possibly some snark in the process.

Have fun!

You do something cool and practice a little with your lacrosse stick while you walk. It's pretty easy given your heightened werewolf senses, so you start showing off a little, throwing the ball behind your back and stuff. This, of course, ends with the ball rolling into the bushes. Oops. This is why werewolves shouldn't show off.

>Whoa! Dude, go get that ball! Those things are expensive.

You dive into the bushes to get that ball. It's all the way under the roots somehow, so you have to claw it out werewolf-style. You emerge, pleased that you have the ball again, but also covered in dirt.

>Wipe it off, it'll be fine. You're coming home from LaX practice anyway.

You wipe off the dirt, unconcerned because who cares, it's just dirt. Then you keep walking home, because oh man it is late, your mom might freak out.

>Yeah, she might. But is there something shadowy just past your house? Maybe you should check that out before you go inside.
