You have apparently missed some stuff, so you look closer. The cones, rook, coin, person, catfrog, lipstick and giant tower are still where they were a few seconds ago. The buildings seem fine too, except for the one you recently vacated, which had smoke pouring out of its entrance. You wonder who would be stupid enough to start a fire in there. Definitely not someone as nice and as reasonable as you. Ha ha ha...

U murmur murderous mutterings, then u make many moles. The moles salute to their creator then run off to somewhere.
+ a bunch of moles
- a bunch of moles

You translate your 1/2 burnt Australian note using your 5.4 strange devices, creating a Wingdings. The note's words are now all in German.
- 1/2 burnt Australian note
+ 0.5 burnt German Wingdings

You combine 1 half-burned bloody stuffed bull head with 1 dirty bloody tube of lipstick to make a Ritualo Summon Worst Disaster Gaster! You can now Summon the Worst Disaster Gaster using your Ritualo, but only if it doesn't break the plot! You put the magical pendant into your box.

You investigate the dark b- oh, come on! You've already done this. But you don't have a say in the matter, so you have to do it.

You investigate the dark box. It is a dark rectangular prism, perfectly symmetrical, made of some kind of dark material that was very dark. It could fit in the palm of your hand. Through your investigations, you find that the box had been discovered in the wilderness of India in 1642 and had been passed down through the generations of the Poothlicker family. It, like many boxes, has a lid. It, like many boxes, is unlocked. It also has TARDIS-like properties, apparently.

You really want to shift your focus away from the box, even though it is probably the most important thing in this whole adventure.

What do you do?

You don't bother checking your inventory.

You investigate the 5.4 strange devices. They are Legendary Mystical Mysterious Strange Artifact Devices you found in some shop somewhere. Through your investigations, you find that these particular devices were found in the catacombs of the late First Secret Hidden Lord King Prophet of All Life and Death and Quantum and Pawnshops VI shortly before the shop these were in opened. They probably have strange and mystical properties.

You try to use your 5.4 strange devices with the 1 red-eyed catfrog. Only one device is consumed, as you have reached the maximun of two strange device augmentation slots on this particular object. Mr. Croak grows an antenna.
- 1 strange device

You cough. You sneeze. These must be symptoms from when a Parisite X had bitten you and infected you with Sickness X when you were visiting Planet X in Galaxy X with Alien X on XX/XX/XXXX.

You investigate yourself. You're you. There's not much else to say about this.

You investigate your clothes. You are wearing a plain white shirt, a cotton jacket, blue jeans, running shoes, and a lime-and-orange fedora.

You investigate your pockets. You find a pencil, a set of keys, a Scorpion, and a spare car.
+ 1 pencil
+ 1 set of keys
+ 1 Scorpion
+ 1 spare car

You look around and decide to copy-paste in what you've already seen.

Towering buildings soar several metres into the air, with an enormous orange skyscraper in the background, scraping the sky with such rubbery precision that the Lady of the Clouds has more than once come down to try to demolish it. All twenty kilometres of it. The Metric System reigns dominant in this society, and they will not commit anything to Imperial rule unless forcefully forced to. The supreme ruler of the city-state of Australia, Les Traffiks de Poothlicker, is particularly adamant about this. There are a number traffic cones strewed haphazardly across the road, making the oxcart drivers rage even more than they usually do. On one of the cones closest to you perches a rook. On the ground next to the cone sits a gold coin with some guy's face on it. On the opposite side of the street kneels someone hitting the road with a stick. Mr. Croak hops out of the box and starts taking swipes at the rook. The lipstick falls off his? head and into the dirt.​

You also spot a library, a pet shop, a cafe, a residential house, and a train station.

You try to write yourself a reminder, but you don't have any paper for that, and you don't know what to remind yourself of.

You feel like these commands are trying to pry out important information about you as a character.

You get Gud the Mole to come back. It goes to your side, waiting for your command.

Due to disuse, your black rectangle decays back into its fundamental components. It does, however, leave an imprint.

Alright, alright. Time to stop messing around.


Mr. Croak is getting lonely. It's time to get him a friend, and get the hell away from the crime scene that is Schrodinger's Pawn and Rook shop. 


>Go to the pet shop. 


>Drop the burnt German wingdings; you don't need those. 


>Combine the world with your shoes, as well as a strange device. Become the globetrotter.
 
You gnaw on the globe. It cracks open and you find a smaller globe inside.
+1 smaller globe

You turn back to Schrodinger's Pawn and Rook Shop and go to the pet shop next to it, leaving Mr. Croak behind with all the interesting objects. The shop is filled with a variety of oxes, bulls, cows, and other types of cattle. The counter is made of pure leather.

You drop the 0.5 burnt German wingdings onto the floor of the shop. You are completely certain you won't ever need it and that this action will not come back to haunt you sometime in the future.
- 0.5 burnt German Wingdings

You combine the world with your shoes, as well as a strange device, and become the globetrotter. You're sure there's something here you're missing as well. Your new shoes begin to crack.

- 1 pair of shoes

You notice your inventory is missing again.

Well, we'll go to the Duck Tape Emporium later and pick up some tape later to fix them shoes. It's probably best not to use them now, otherwise you'd be like china in a bull shop. ha hah HAH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAAHAHAHA

You suddenly have some random thought about ducks, tape and China while hearing manic laughter in your head. Weird.

You can't just bring back up your inventory because it's too meta for you. You do, however, ruminate on how you did that beforehand. Hmm, yes. Deep rumination.

You order a hint on from the Hintmaster Supreme™ on how to use imprints, using $50.00 of your dollarydoos. He takes the money and hands you a piece of paper with some stuff written on it while skipping your turn and moving pawn to e6.

You have a nefarious plan involving duct tape, a strange object, your mysterious dark box, a bovine, and combining them all to make a mysterious dark walking cow-box instead of having to carry the bloody thing around. You ask the shopkeeper what kind of bovine-themed animal would be best for completing your task. She doesn't reply, due to her being a traffic cone. A rather large ox is standing over her, dribbling dribble down her side. You can hear Mr. Croak meobbiting outside.

That's answer enough, you suppose.

>Acquire the large ox standing over her.
>Leave another $50.00 on the table. Should be enough! Stealing isn't in your nature. At least, now that you had that whole unfortunate thing with Schrodinger.
>Read the slip of written-on-paper.
 
You acquire the large ox standing over her. It moos (mooes? mooses?) indifferently.
+ 1 large ox

You leave another $50.00 on the table. The shopkeeper seems satisfied with the offering. Maybe. You find it hard to tell what the traffic cone is actually thinking behind that cold, stoic exterior.

You want to read the slip of written-on-paper. However, you cannot decipher the indecipherable language that the words are written in, so you don't.

God damnit, this is like dealing with genies.

>Use the shop phone to call an Indecipherable translator. You had the option to take Indecipherable in school as a second language, but you chose French instead. That always comes back to bite you in the ass.
>You still need duct tape, so use the shop phone to also call around and see which stores offer it at a decent price.
 
You wonder what a genie is.

You use the shop phone to call an Indecipherable translator, after wiping off all the slobber. The person who answers the phone says the translator is not available at this time and redirects you to the friendly neighbourhood Bat-Man. The Bat-Man asks you to read out the Indecipherable message to him. You can't, because it's indecipherable. He sighs and gives you his address instead and tells you to head over there with the note. You write down the address on the back of the paper using your pencil. You thank the friendly Bat-Man. He says no worries, and hangs up.

You still need duct tape, so you use the shop phone to also call around and see which stores offer it at a decent price. The person who answers the phone says that duct tape is not available at this time and redirects you to the friendly neighbourhood Bat-Man. The Bat-Man grumbles something Indecipherable, then asks what your problem is now. You ask him for duct tape. He says he has a bunch of duck tape where he is and you can have some when you come by. You thank the friendly Bat-Man. He says no problem, and hangs up.

The ox in your box is slobbering everywhere and has filled up your empty till and your black rectangle imprint with saliva. You move it to your pocket where it can slobber over the unimportant stuff.

It seems like there's only one option in this undoubtedly linear story, and when you take it you are definitely not going to have any roadbumps. Like for instance, the Bat-man is not going to be literally made of bats, and his duck tape is not going to be made of ducks. It's time to head over to the Bat-man!

>Use the set of keys on the spare car to open it up. Shove the ox inside. Tell him not to scratch the upholstery.
>Climb into the driver's seat.
>Hang the scorpion from the middle mirror like an air freshener.
>Ride to the Bat-man in style.
 
You use the set of keys on the spare car to open it up. The large ring of prison keys don't fit. It doesn't even need any keys to operate anyway, so you don't know what you're trying to do.

You name the ox Bat-Cow, in honour of the friendly neighbourhood Bat-Man. You feel like there will be some copywrite issues here, with a Bat-Cow already existing and all, but you decide to deal with those problems when you come to them.

You shove Bat-Cow inside the car and tell him not to scratch the upholstery. He dribbles on it instead.

You climb into the driver's seat and hang the Scorpion from the middle mirror like an air freshener. It grudgingly accepts its fate as an eternal fresh-air provider.

You ride to the Bat-Man in Style, France. Or, you would have, if you didn't know that the only way to get there was by train. Instead, you turn on your car. Its strong gravitational field results in cattle being pulled in and getting stuck onto its sides. You manage to squeeze the car through the door, leaving the animals behind, and exit onto the street. The gravitational field is attracting all sorts of things, like some traffic cones, the gold coin, another traffic cone, Mr. Croak with the rook in its mouth, some more traffic cones, the lipstick, a few additional cones here and there, the 0.5 burnt German Wingdings, extra traffic cones, Gud the Mole, and the stick the person on the opposite side of the street was using to hit the road. Oh, and a bunch of traffic cones. The person who had the stick is nowhere to be seen.
+ 1 gold coin
+ 1 Mr. Croak with a rook
+ 1 dirty bloody tube of lipstick
+ 0.5 burnt German Wingdings
+ 1 Gud the Mole
+ 1 stick
+64 traffic cones

You arrive at the train station. It was a rather difficult ten-metre journey with a clump of cones and Mr. Croak plastered onto the windowscreen, but you made it. This car is probably more trouble than it's worth.

What do you do now?

Oops.

You attempt to reach out of the car to grab Mr. Croak with the rook and put him inside. Your hand collides painfully with the window. You open it. The gold coin, the lipstick, the stick and three traffic cones fall in. You grab Mr. Croak with the rook, putting him inside. He purroaks in appreciation.

You put Co-Captain Gud in the passenger side. He shakes your handbin gratitude. You feel like you're assuming genders again, but whatever. The Sorpion releases some fresh air.

You contain the urge to stop Bat-Cow, by any means necessary, from dribbling on the upholstery. You wouldn't be able to do much anyway, since it's already standing hoof-deep in spit. You feel lucky you had decided to put it in the back seats instead of at the front with you.

You throw $10.00 dollarydoos at the train attendant for the price of your ticket. The money comes flying back in due to gravity, along with the till from inside the booth.
+ 1 full till

You squeeze your car through the train door. A traffic cone gets caught on the doorframe, but you manage to catch it before it gets left behind. You put it on Bat-Cow's head. It moos unenthusiastically. The doors close behind you.

You look out the window of the car out the window of the train. The vehicle has started to move, and you can see some people wearing blue uniform running alongside it, looking up at you and shouting something indecipherable. Murder? Theft? What? Sorry, you can't hear anything over this blaring silence. Have to get going now. Toodles! The people are quickly left behind as the train starts picking up Speed. You settle back for the ride.

What do you do?

You notice that, once again, your inventory is gone.
 
>Don't only pick up Speed. Coddle it. Hold it. Let it know that you love it.
>Roll down the back windows so you don't drown in ox drool.
>Do a subway performance with Mr. Croak and Co-Captain Gud to make money before you get to your destination.
 
You want to give your love to Speed, but it's the train that's holding it, not you. You begin to slightly envy the train.

You roll down the back windows so you don't drown in ox drool. The stuff is already ten centimetres deep. Now that you think about it, though, the liquid will have had to have reached chest height and spilled into the front before it would get to the windows. Nice thought, though. A stray cone rolls through one of the newly-opened windows.

You get out of the car, spilling five more cones in, and do a subway performance with Mr. Croak and Co-Captain Gud to make money before you get to your destination. The Scorpion and Bat-Cow watch on. It's an amazing preformance, one that would have had people around the world crying from witnessing its glory. Unfortunately, the compartment you are currently in is empty. You're also not on a subway. You can see the giant cone getting smaller and smaller as you ascend through the air. Cloud Transport is really outdoing themselves with this spectacular view.

The door leading out of the room is slightly ajar.

Due to disuse, your Ritualo Summon Worst Disaster Gaster decays back into its fundamental components. It does, however, leave an imprint.
