TALES 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 on a crappier journal service 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!

Carlos | Welcome To Night Vale | OTA

[mountainofevidence]

Your name is CARLOS and you are a SCIENTIST. You are standing in the middle of your LAB, surrounded by several INTERESTING EXPERIMENTS. In the corner, there is a RADIO. It is currently turned OFF.

Outside, there seems to be some sort of COMMOTION that sounds very much like THE SCREECHING OF PTERANODONS. You could be wrong, though. You are a SCIENTIST, not a PALEONTOLOGIST .

WHAT WILL YOU DO?

[truthsnomiracle]

Your name is MILES EDGEWORTH. You are a high public prosecutor of some renown and former infamy. You love your work despite it being highly aggravating, because it allows the truth to be wielded against criminals so that they may face justice -- even if you sometimes happen to be dead wrong about who the criminal is the first time around. You're getting better about that, and have come to appreciate what a good defense attorney can do to correct you on that point.

One would think that being a prosecutor would just mean that you're good at logic, presentation, and debate. While these may be strengths of yours, the unfortunate truth is that the local police are of questionable competence, so you have to do a lot to point them in the right direction and even play detective a lot of the time yourself. But in the end, you can deal with this frustration too; you feel more comfortable when you're in control anyway, and all means of applying your intellect towards unraveling the truth are engaging and rewarding.



You are in your OFFICE, which is ROOM 1202 of the local PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE. Your DESK is partway back from the center, with a WINDOW and a SHORT SHELF behind it. A TALL SHELF filled with CASEFILES takes up one wall, while the opposite wall has a SOFA and a FRAMED JACKET. A TABLE CHESSBOARD stands in a corner, and the DOOR TO ROOM 1202 is near that, leading into the 12TH FLOOR HALLWAY.

You technically don't need to be here this late in the evening, so you could take some time to EXAMINE things, CHECK EVIDENCE or PROFILES, or just MOVE out of the room entirely.

Raphael | Rhythm Thief | ota

[rhythmically]

Your name is RAPHAEL and you most definitely are not a FAMOUS ART THIEF. In fact, you're just a normal TEENAGER, trying to finish your HOMEWORK that's due tomorrow. You could have done it earlier, but you were too busy stealing a painting and evading the Constabulary distracted by other priorities.

On your DESK you have your HOMEWORK and TEXTBOOKS scattered around-- you're not sure how much work you have left. Other things around your APARTMENT are: a BOOKCASE filled with various titles on art history, your nice soft BED that you shouldn't be sleeping on yet, a MAP of Paris with your notes pinned here and there, and your trusty partner FONDUE snoozing on his spot under the NIGHTSTAND.

And with that out of the way, maybe you should stop stalling?

Kaede Ueda | original character | OTA, muse has m/m pref

[mapledreams]

Enter ADULT CONTENT at any point to allow for other options. By default, ADULT CONTENT is set to OFF.

The current icon type is MANGA-style. Enter PB to change the character icon type to live-action.

-----------

Your name is KAEDE UEDA, a MED STUDENT. You want to become a DOCTOR, and have since you were small.

You feel like your life isn't all that grand; your OLDER BROTHER and OLDER SISTER have already left you in the dust in terms of a career and employment. You also go from one person to another in search of companionship.

You also have a heightened SENSE OF SMELL, and often have the urge to do something with your mouth as a result. You carry vanilla CANDIES with you everywhere.

You have the day off today. Sunlight drifts in from the window, and you can tell that it is morning. Although you enjoy mornings the most, your condition is still TIRED from the night before.

Your BED is a queen-size, and you are wrapped up in many, many warm BLANKETS. There's an ALARM CLOCK on the night stand, and near it is your CELL PHONE. There's a doorway leading to the bathroom to the RIGHT, and a doorway leading out of the bedroom AHEAD.

Lambda-11 | BlazBlue

[reformatted]

Your name is DIMENSIONAL BOUNDARY INTERFACE PRIME FIELD NUMBER ELEVEN: ANTI- SANKISHIN CORE UNIT LAMBDA. However, most people call you "LAMBDA-11" or just "LAMBDA", as DIMENSIONAL BOUNDARY INTERFACE PRIME FIELD NUMBER ELEVEN: ANTI- SANKISHIN CORE UNIT LAMBDA is a bit of a MOUTHFUL. You are a CYBORG, specifically a MURAKUMO UNIT. Your BOSS is PROFESSOR KOKONOE; a cranky scientist who is somehow part CAT.

Currently you are standing in the lab in front of your stasis tube with your armor deactivated. PROFESSOR KOKONOE has ordered you to the room beyond this one. The floor is COLD and you are starting to QUESTION your apparent DISLIKE of SHOES and SOCKS for that matter.

What will you do?

Uzu Sanageyama | Kill or be la Killed | ota

[ironbuttmonkey]

Your name is UZU SANAGEYAMA, a man with SO MANY TITLES that listing them all would take up this entire comment. Instead, you are simply a YOUNG ADULT with HOTBLOODED TENDENCIES and a passion for FIGHTING.

You are currently in your personal quarters within HONNOUJI ACADEMY, the school you attend mostly to keep the student body under SATSUKI KIRYUIN'S rule. The room is tidy enough, but has that trademark sense of disorder you would expect from a teenage boy. Numerous SHOUNEN MANGA are stacked on a table beside your bed. You cannot read them because you are BLIND. There is a TELEVISION nearby with numerous DVDs piled beside it. You cannot watch them because you are BLIND. Also of note is your personal collection of PRIVATE READING MATERIAL kept beneath your bed. You cannot look at them because you are BLIND.

Sometimes you wonder if having your eyes sewn shut was a good idea, or yet another classic example of your RECKLESS SHOUNEN TENDENCIES biting you in the ass.

Obvious exits are DOOR, WINDOW and DENNIS.

What will you do?

Natsuno Yuuki/Koide | Shiki | OTA

[reluctantjinrou]

Your name is NATSUNO, and you are a JINROU which is a subspecies of VAMPIRE.

The journey begins with you, NATSUNO, sitting on a tree branch, next to his parent's HOUSE. From the branch you can see a WINDOW to a bedroom.

The sun is just setting, casting a DARKNESS over SOTOBA. The wind picks up and you wrap your COAT tighter around yourself.

You have on your person one pair of black capri PANTS. One button down white SHIRT. Comfortable SNEAKERS, and one striped winter COAT.

Nonon Jakuzure | Kill La Kill | OTA

[skullshako]

Your name is NONON JAKUZURE, the NONATHLETIC CHAIR of HONNOUJI ACADEMY'S STUDENT COUNCIL. You have a passion for CLASSICAL MUSIC and LARGE HATS, the latter of which you believe convinces people that you are taller than you actually are. It is UNKNOWN if anyone is genuinely convinced by this, but as they know better to invite your FIERCE WRATH and SHARP TONGUE no one has dissuaded you from your FANTASY.

Aside from regulating NONATHLETIC AFFAIRS of the school, you are also a DRUM MAJOR and the school band's CONDUCTOR. Currently, however, you are being LAZY by laying on the COUCH in your room. The one which is covered with an INSANE NUMBER of PLUSHIES. By all accounts you shouldn't even be able to FIT on the COUCH.

Exits are DOOR, WALL, and CEILING.

What will you do?

Houka Inumuta | Kill La Kill | ota

[databoner]

Your name is HOUKA INUMUTA, computer geek extraordinaire. Your interests, for the most part, revolve around TECHNOLOGY, COMPUTERS, and COLLECTING INFORMATION. And as such, you have a lot of IMPORTANT DATA on your many computers and devices. There is also several folders of data of a more …personal nature on the desktop you keep in your room and never let anyone else use, ever.

You're actually a PRETTY BORING GUY if it weren't for your high ranking position at Honnouji Academy as a three-star, which gives you the luxury of a nicely furnished room to yourself, which you are currently in. No HOTBLOODED TENDENCIES or SHORT-PERSON COMPLEX weighs down on your shoulders, although you do have a tendency for being far too sassy for your own good, and for wearing spandex a bit too much.

Obvious exit is the DOOR because unlike your fellow three-stars, you don't have a tendency to jump out windows or burst through walls.

im so sorry

Senketsu ✧ part of yet another KILL la KILL invasion

[sanguineseams]

You are SENKETSU, a sentient set of clothing, also known as a KAMUI. Despite being clothing you have a variety of interests, including but not limited to BEING WORN, BEING IRONED, SILENTLY EXPRESSING YOUR LOVE FOR HUMANS, CONSUMING BLOOD, and LONG WALKS ON THE BEACH. You have no PERSONAL EFFECTS but you are equipped with THE PATIENCE OF A SAINT and THE ABILITY TO GET AROUND ON YOUR OWN.

You wake up this morning on your HANGAR to find that you are COMPLETELY ALONE. There is no trace of your owner, RYUUKO MATOI, her best friend and sentimentally adopted sister MAKO MANKANSHOKU, or the rest of the MANKANSHOKU FAMILY. This strikes you as strange because, being the only clothes RYUUKO owns, this means she is somewhere, half-naked, without you.

The only exit in the house is SOMEWHERE OVER THERE.
