It's good to meet you, (print: $name). [[I hope you're well->0.1]]
//Child.
You are going to be eaten.

//(print: $name) wakes up.
The room is very red. Crimson wallpaper peels away from painted red wood. A [[red tarp->2.1]] obscures a lumpy mass that lines the perimeter of the room. [[A man->2.2]] sits on the floor near the center of the room. It's hard to notice him at first, he seems to blend in with everything else. (set: $tarp to true)
(print: $name) moves towards the edge of the room.
The man on the floor moves in front of you, quietly reaching for a tarp before you can. An unbearably foul odor fills the air as soon as he grabs it. Underneath the tarp, you can see hints of a trash heap-- but it seems to be moving. The man recoils from the smell and drops the tarp. He then carefully slithers back to his spot on the floor.
(if: $floor_guy is true)[A [[switch->3]] on the wall behind the man catches your eye.](elseif: true)[(display: 'floor guy')](set: $floor_guy to true)
(print: $name) approaches the man.
//"There is only survival, kid. No escape. You don't matter."//
A [[switch->3]] on the wall behind the man catches your eye.
(if: $tarp is false)[(display:'tarp')]
(print: $name) flips the switch.
A blue light eminates from it, and washes over the room. The junk covered by a tarp is replaced by a shallow pool of water, faintly glowing and reflecting off the now blue walls. The air feels still, calm.
A door now sits next to the switch. [[Open it?->4]]A [[red tarp->2.1]] obscures a lumpy mass that lines the perimeter of the room.[[The man->2.2]] is sitting still again.(print: $name) opens the door.
The room beyond is a little dark. It's hard so see inside from where you're standing.
A voice permeates the darkness.
"Hello!"
[[Investigate->5.1]]
[[Reply->5.2]]
[[Close the door->5.3]](print: $name) steps forwads and peers into the room.
"Hi!" The voice calls again.
You can faintly see a figure standing a little ways beyond the door.
[[Respond->5.2]]
[[Say nothing->5.11]](print: $name) says hello.
"Hello! How's it going? It's good to meet ya."
The smell of roses radiates from the room in front of you.
End
[[reset to the beginning->0]](print: $name) shuts the door tight.
You can hear the voice through the door.
"Hey! Sorry, I didn't mean to startle ya. Umm, do you wanna talk? Knock twice for 'yes', and um-- I guess don't knock at all for 'no'."
[[Knock twice->5.1]]
[[Don't knock->5.4]](print: $name) waits awhile without knocking.
"...Okay, well, I'll get goin'. I hope to talk to you in the future, y'hear? --But if not, that's okay too!"
You can hear them moving away. It's eventually quiet in the room beyond.
[[Open the door->6.x]]
[[Wait here awhile->5.5]](print: $name) rests.
The light from the water gently shimmers on the walls.
It's peaceful in here.
[[Open the door->6.x]](print: $name) opens the door.
It's quiet, no one's around. It feels nice in here.
The smell of roses radiates from the room in front of you.
End
[[reset to the beginning->0]](print: $name) just keeps looking forward.
"Heya! How's it going? It's good to meet ya."
The smell of roses radiates from the room in front of you.
