TO ZORK, WITH LOVE

TEXT BASED 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." Some of them even have fancy pictures attached to them. You wonder if this one just isn't trying hard enough.

There is a post here.

> READ POST

Which one?

> READ LATEST POST

"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 are DANNY WILLIAMS, a detective in O'ahu on the Governor's Taskforce known as FIVE-O. You have been tracking down LEADS on your latest CASE but have hit a snag.

What is your first move?

Steve Rogers ✪ MCU ✪ OTA

[winghead]

You are STEVE ROGERS, known better as CAPTAIN AMERICA, and have suffered a run in with ALIEN TECHNOLOGY. You have been transported into what looks like a LOCKED ROOM with no features other than A BED, a BROKEN DESK, a BATTERED WARDROBE, and a LAMP that doesn't appear to work.

Your earlier attempts to contact YOUR TEAM and the entity known as JARVIS have failed. Alone, confused, and locked away, you must find your way HOME, but you will need TOOLS to help you in your journey.

What do you do first?

Ms Green | Awful Hospital

[greenmamabear]

YOU wake up on a hospital bed. You're dizzy, confused, and a little nauseous. It smells like a mixture of birthday cake and sewage. The EXAMINATION ROOM around you seems fairly standard... sort of. Something about it definitely seems off, like the X-RAY OF A BUG above you and the HAND SANITIZER THAT SEEMS TO SQUIRT OUT MUCUS. A CURTAIN seems to lead out into the hallway of what you assume is THE HOSPITAL.

You're wearing a normal HOSPITAL GOWN. Its definitely not green. You're not green. You would know if you were green, right? That'd just be strange.

All YOU really remember is your son being very very sick, almost in a monstrous way. And now you're here. But your son is nowhere to be seen.

What should you do?

Lockheed | Marvel (616) | OTA

[kittysdragon]

You are LOCKHEED, a foot high heroic alien dragon and member of the X-Men. Your best friends KITTY PRYDE and RACHEL GREY have been captured by the SENTINELS and held in a SECRET LAB. You are resolved to find and rescue them.

You are flying above a section of the LAB where a PRODUCTION LINE is deactivated, a single INERT SENTINEL of some twelve feet tall stood at the end of the line, various other SCRAP PARTS dotted around the room and a CONTROL PANEL to one side. A trio of DOORS are marked with CONTROL ROOM to your north, WEAPON TESTING to the west and OFFICES to the south.

What do you do first?

The King Hippo Game

[couchkiller]

You are King Hippo, a powerful and handsome boxer from the world of Punch-Out and Mother Brain's very best warrior. Heroes fear you, and stupid mindless civilians worship the ground you walk on.

You wake up in your hammock after a good night's sleep. EGGPLANT WIZARD is sleeping in the hammock beneath yours, which doesn't seem like the safest place in the world to sleep. What will you do with your brand new day?

[wolfamongus]

You are BIGBY WOLF, a FABLE who operates in NEW YORK as FABLETOWN's Sheriff, having come from the world of fairy tales to the world of the MUNDIES due to the ADVERSARY. You are currently investigating the apparent murder of a FABLE after SNOW WHITE discovered the head of FAITH on the doorstep of the WOODLANDS apartments.

You are in your OFFICE by your DESK, determining where to do first. The DOOR to your OFFICE leads outside to a HALLWAY close to where ICABOD CRANE'S OFFICE is.

>You are SINBAD, KING of SINDRIA, your beautiful island kingdom - which you can't enjoy right now due to a MOUNTAIN OF PAPERWORK on your DESK, and a very angry VIZIER in your doorway

"Sinbad, you are not leaving this room until you finish this, you put it off long enough."

He's using your full name, not a good sign. Soon he leaves the room, and shuts the door, leaving you alone.

There is a large WINDOW in front of you overlooking the sea, and of course the DOOR behind you, Ja'far might still be hovering outside, or he might have left to finish his work.

Now What?

Peridot | Steven Universe

[kindergartencop]

You are PERIDOT, a technical support and maintenance Gem ostensibly under the employ of YELLOW DIAMOND. You say "ostensibly" only because, after a disastrous confrontation with the CRYSTAL GEMS, you appear to have lost all contact with HOMEWORLD.

You are currently situated inside your ESCAPE POD, presumably the only surviving remnant of your ship, THE RIGHT HAND. Sunlight streams in through the tinted window hatch, and you can see glimpses of PLANT LIFE through the glare. A quick physical scan shows you've arrived on EARTH without any major injuries, either to yourself or your gem.

Your mission parameters are still in effect, but the only question on your mind is what to do now.

>Exit pod?
>Scan surroundings?
>Weep silently?

[arkhamscoldest]

You have infiltrated ARKHAM CITY to verify rumours of a possible cure underground there. You are currently in the former GCPD BUILDING, turned into your personal lab. You must search the streets of ARKHAM CITY for an entry point to the rumoured OLD GOTHAM and check for samples there whilst dealing with the forces of the JOKER, PENGUIN and TWO-FACE gangs and the likely interference of the BATMAN.

You are in your FROZEN LAB where there is a COMPUTER DISPLAY MONITOR and your WORK DESK. Your CRYO ARMOUR is to one side. NORA'S CHAMBER is in a room to the NORTH, locked with a security code. There is an exit to the GCPD LOBBY to the SOUTH.

Jason Todd | DCU (preboot) | OTA

[asinisterkid]

You are JASON TODD, better known as THE RED HOOD. After years as BATMAN'S sidekick, ROBIN, you died horribly and were resurrected, only to learn that BATMAN had moved on and recruited a new ROBIN, some kid named TIM DRAKE. Also, THE JOKER, the man who killed you, is still alive, leaving you both replaced and unavenged.

You are not okay with this.

These days you work as a vigilante and crime lord. You explain this apparent contradiction in job descriptions by rationalizing that what crime can't be eliminated should be controlled so the fewest innocent people get hurt. You also look for opportunities to KILL THE JOKER and PROVE YOU'RE BETTER THAN BATMAN. That'll show him you deserve his love, definitely. Occasionally you indulge in RAGECRYING.

You wake up in your SAFE HOUSE. Something seems off, though it's not immediately obvious what. There is a DESK by the room's lone WINDOW, and a DRESSER across from it. To your left, there is a tiny KITCHEN. To your right is the BATHROOM.

The FRONT DOOR is across from you.

Clint Barton | Marvel 616

[makethatwork]

You are CLINT BARTON, also known as the AVENGING ARCHER, HAWKEYE. You're a superhero without super powers, who fights evil with a STRING and a STICK from the PALEOLITHIC ERA. You like to think you're PRETTY DAMN GOOD at it, though you think your CURRENT PARTNER (who is also called HAWKEYE) could be better than you in time.

While you probably have enough money to live in Manhattan, you currently reside in a SHITTY APARTMENT out in Brooklyn. It's okay that it's shitty, because you are also the LANDLORD, having "PURCHASED" the building from the RUSSIAN MOB.

You are currently sitting on the sofa in your shitty apartment watching TELEVISION. You can hear the COFFEE MAKER gurgling in the KITCHEN, beyond which is the door that leads to the HALLWAY. Your BOW AND QUIVER rest against the STAIRS, and on the other side of the room there is a line of TARGETS. Your one-eyed dog, LUCKY, lays on the floor at your feet.

The exits are UP and LEFT

illyasviel von einzbern | fate/ ( ota )

[worldcup]

You are ILLYASVIEL VON EINZBERN, better known as ILLYA for short. You are a 19 year old HOMUNCULUS living in a 9 year old girl's body. You are a part of the GREATER GRAIL, which allows people to grant one wish. You are also a MASTER in THE FIFTH HOLY GRAIL WAR. Your Servant is HERCULES, better known as BERSERKER.

This means that you are able to use MAGIC. But you have to keep it a secret, since not many people know about the existence of magic. While you are able to go outside of the the EINZBERN MANOR, a rather large mansion, it's possible that you will get scolded by SELLA and LIZ, your two maids. (Especially Sella.)

There are six MASTER and SERVANT pairs left out there. You have to defeat all six in order to get the HOLY GRAIL and have your wish granted.

Currently, you are in YOUR ROOM on the upstairs floor of the manor. There is a CANOPY BED along with various STUFFED ANIMALS in the room. If you wish to leave, the exits are OUT THE WINDOW or OUT THE DOOR.

You currently carry a PACK, are wearing a pair of NEW BOOTS and a GREEN ROBE, and you have NO MONEY. You do, however, have JEWELRY.

Floweregg | Axis Powers Hetalia | ota

[notbloody]

You are FLOWEREGG, the dog of the nations SWEDEN and FINLAND. Lately, SEALAND and LADONIA have also joined the household. Your daily life mostly consists of facepalming (or, well, facepillowing because you are a dog and have no palm, but pillows are good substitutes) at your family. And then being thrown off the couch because dogs don't go on this particular couch. Which is very rude because it is the softest couch in the house.

Today, the house is empty, except for LADONIA who is playing video games in his room. You just woke from a nap, so you are in the LIVING ROOm.

You have the whole house to explore. What do you do?
