<<set $speaker = "Two Frog">> \Is somebody there? [[Hello?]]

Hello! It's me, Two Frog. [[Hello, Two Frog!]]

That's why I'm in prison. [[You're in prison?]]

Spot on. Will you help me escape? [[Ok|Yes]] [[Nope|Cancel]] [[Maybe later]]

You're so kind. I don't know how I'll ever repay you. Now, let's see if we can escape. [[I have some questions|questions]] [[Let's go!|Bunk Bed Room]]

We're currently in the bunk bed room. [[I want to look at someone's bed!|beds]] <<if visited("Assembly") is 0>> \[[Can we go somewhere else?|somewhere else]] \<<else>> \[[Go to the assembly hall|Assembly]] \<</if>> [[Can I ask you a question?|questions]]

Let me tell you about the bunk bed room. In the bunk bed room, there are lots of beds on top of beds on top of beds. It's like a maze trying to find your way through. I, however, always remember the right way to go. <<back>>

There's only one other place to go to at the moment, I'm afraid. You see, we all have to stick to the schedule. [[Go there then!|Assembly]] [[What's the schedule?]]

I'm all ears. [[What did you do to wind up in prison?|prison reason]] [[What is the prison like?]] [[What room are we in?|bunk bed room]] <<if visited("Bunk Bed Room")>> \[[Let's get going|Bunk Bed Room]] \<<else>> \[[Let's get going?|Bunk Bed Room]] \<</if>> [[I'm just generally confused]]

<<if $day is 1>> \That's a private matter, I'm afraid. Ask me again tomorrow. \<<else>> \I don't think I'm ready to tell you that... But it's a funny story. I'll tell you once we've escaped. \<</if>> <<back>>

Ah. Are you new to text adventure video games? [[I know a thing or two|n]] [[I don't know a thing or two|y]]

I'm so sorry, how impolite of me. I seem to have thrown you in at the deep end. Would you like to play the tutorial? [[I'll figure it out on my own|tut no]] [[Oh go on then|tutorial]]

Then you'll be fine! Just click the links at random and see where you end up. Most of the text isn't worth reading anyway. <<link "I don't even read what I'm saying!" "questions">><</link>>

Are you sure? The tutorial is extremely helpful. You'll be surely lost without it. [[Yes|Tut 2]] [[No|Tut 2]]

You still don't want to? Very well. Let's continue. [[Sure|questions]]

It's cold and slimy and deep underground. The floors are uneven and the wallpaper is crumbling. There aren't many of us here, but we all try and work together. <<back>>

<<if visited() is 1>> \Here we are... The Assembly Hall! What an exciting place to be. All my friends are milling about. You can go and meet them if you like (but I'll always be your favourite). \<<else>> \We're back in the Assembly Hall. \<</if>> [[Candlestick Jack][$speaker to "Candlestick Jack"]] \<<= either(["is smoking in the corner.", "glances around suspiciously.", "is tapping his foot.", "is frowning intently.", "chews and fidgets."])>> [[Misty][$speaker to "Misty"]] \<<=either(["wanders the room aimlessly.", "spins slowly in the middle.", "is trying to lick her own nose.", "is trying her best to do a cartwheel.", "is pretending to be a caterpillar."])>> \<<if $owe_gone>> Old Worm Eater is nowhere to be seen. \<<else>> [[Old Worm Eater|owe1][$speaker to "Old Worm Eater"]] \<<=either(["avoids eye contact.", "wipes their brow.", "murmurs, coughs and shivers.", "shudders and blinks.", "weakly blows their nose."])>> \<</if>> There's also a [[fancy booth|booth]] at the end of the hall. \<<if $day >= 2>> I'm here too, if you want to talk to [[me]]. \<</if>> Or we can [[wait for the assembly to start|counting]].

Everyday, we do things in the same order. First, we gather us all up in the assembly hall. Second, we work all day in the engine room. Third, we eat supper round the dining table. Last, we go to bed. Everybody sleeps in the bunk bed room, except for the lucky person who gets the master suite.<<if hasVisited("baron sleep")>> (And except for the Baron who sleeps in his armchair.)<</if>> That's what we do everyday, and everyday that's what we do. [[Who is this lucky person?|ex]] [[To the assembly hall!|Assembly]]

This is Old Worm Eater's bed. The mattress doesn't have a cover. There are suspicious stains on it. There's also a blanket but frankly it doesn't look very nice. (I don't want to touch it.) <<back>>

Candlestick Jack's bed is just a normal bed really. <<linkappend "That's odd...">> There's a [[suitcase|Suitcase]] hidden beneath the mattress.<</linkappend>> <<back>>

My bed is lovely and neat. I have a [[picture of my wife]] on my bedside table. I keep a [[precious book]] beneath my pillow. <<back>>

Inside the suitcase are a few objects. There's a yo-yo covered in stars. \<<if !$wallet_stolen>> There's a wallet with a silver duck on it. \<</if>> There's an ornate ring with a carmine jewel. There's also a dictionary. \<<linkappend "Hold on a second...">> That's [[MY dictionary!|dict]]<</linkappend>> [[Loot everything (shorcut: e for evil)]] <<back>>

No way! I'm not going to take someone else's stuff. (also please don't tell me you actually tried to press e) <<back>>

This is my favourite dictionary!

No problem! I'll just wait here until you come back. Don't feel under pressure to help. Take your time. [[I'm ready now|Yes]] [[I've decided against it|Cancel]]

Excuse me? Why not? [[I'm a horrible person|cancel2]] [[I have ethical objections to helping you escape]] [[Sorry, I've changed my mind|Yes]]

Oh... You're one of //those// people. You don't want to play the game. You want to ruin it. All you care about is exploring every possible path until the game is dead and dissected. [[sorry|Sorry]]

Sadly I have already used up all the stickers from this page. I hope you're not too disappointed. If I find any more I will give them to you. <<back>>

This is the last page of the sticker book. There's only one sticker left on this page and it's a bunch of bananas. I haven't found a use for it yet, but hopefully one day I will come across the perfect opportunity to use it, and I will be very smug. <<back>>

Oh dear! Misty's bed is unbelievably messy. How embarrassing! \<<if $has_tenpence>> [[Check under her pillow]] \<</if>> <<back>>

I'm not sure. They don't come out much. <<linkappend "Although..." t8n>> I've heard they sometimes go creeping around the prison at night. No one's seen their face, but you can recognise them by the smell of soot and ash...<</linkappend>> <<back>>

I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! I'M GOING TO BREAK OUT OF THIS PRISON MYSELF! [[calm down mate|te2]]

BAH! I BROKE THROUGH THE CEILING WITH MY BARE HANDS! I'M TUNNELING UP THROUGH THE ROCK! [[sure, well done|te3]]

Public transport is boring and useless. Also, it's very unreliable and quite expensive. That's something we can all agree on. So really it's no wonder I blew up a bus. <<back "ah">>

Who do you think I am? If you get it right, I'll give you one million pounds. [[Are you Misty?]] [[Are you Two Frog?|misty wrong][$misty_name to "Misty"]] [[Are you Jake the Bumblebee?|misty wrong][$misty_name to "Misty"]]

Well then you'd better go and get one! Because guess what? I don't have any! Sorry! <<back "That's fine, I'm not upset">>

Wrong! Too bad, guess I'm keeping the milly! [[Oops|misty questions]]

Wrong again! Guess I'll be keeping the milly. Bad luck wimpy! [[Great, brilliant|misty questions]]

Oh dear. [[Let's have another look around|Assembly]]

Wait! Can you help me with something? (pretty pleeeeease?) <<link "No chance, I'm up to here with you already." "misty to tf">><</link>> [["Fine, what is it?"|tooth2]]

I have a wobbly tooth. (I'm not a kid or anything I just got into a fight the other day (I mean you should have seen the other guy!)) Alright? So? [[What do you want me to do?|tooth3]]

Punch me square in the jaw! [[Only if I get to keep the tooth]] [[Only if you punch me first!|punch]] [[Only if you pay me 50p]]

No way, Jose! I'm giving my tooth to the tooth fairy. I need the cash. Some of us have bills to pay you know. <<back "fine.">>

Deal! //*WHACK!*// All right, now my turn! [[Hang on a second...|tooth3]]

Let's meet halfway. 10p? [[Deal!|tooth4]] [[No deal!|tooth3]]

10p? Wow. No. <<back "All the more for me!">>

Sure. And I'm kind and wise. <<return "Worth a shot">>

Excuse me? I am the brains of the operation. So don't try and outwit me, or I'll outwit you right back. <<return "Fair enough">>

That's the door to the master suite. But it's locked - you need a secret code to enter. [[What's the secret code?]]

I don't know. But there's a clue written on the door in golden letters: <<include "SilverRiddle">> Then there's a five-letter combination lock. Funny, right? [[Got any leads?]]

Yeah, I've got one. \<<set $wallet_stolen to true>> There's something silver engraved on my wallet. Only thing is, my wallet went missing this morning. [[Sorry to hear that]]

It was a new wallet as well. Seems like everything I own keeps going missing since I came here... Anyway, I COULD just tell you what was on it. But that wouldn't be very fun would it? [[Oh dear|duck2]]

What? I've already found one of the clues. Plus I was the one that figured out what to do in the first place. I'm the brains of the operation, remember? Now get back to work. [[Yes sir|cj to tf][$speaker to "Two Frog"]]

Everyone's attention turns to the fancy booth. Suddenly, the curtains draw back to reveal the Baron, looking supercilious as ever. [[What does supercilious mean again?]] \<<if $beat_quiz>> [[Listen to the Baron|baron good][$speaker = "Baron"]] \<<else>> [[Listen to the Baron][$speaker = "Baron"]] \<</if>>

It's a large circular bedroom. It's extremely decorated. There's a [[big purple bed]] in the corner, covered in fluffy pillows. Opposite the bed is a [[ginormous fireplace]]. The fire inside is tall and menacing. North of the fireplace is an [[inconspicuous filing cabinet]]. To the right of the cabinet lies a [[heavy wooden coffin]]. Directly in the middle of the room is a [[ladder]]. That could be our escape! And immediately behind the ladder is the [[door we came in through]].

Congratulations! We'll be out of here in no time at all. [[Hooray!|Assembly]]

GOOD MORNING. The special person today is THE BARON. (ME.) That is all. GOODBYE. [[Wow|counting2][$speaker = "Two Frog"]]

We'll look it up in my dictionary later, ok? Now's not the time. <<back "neato">>

''Supercilious'' //When someone thinks they're better than you (even if they look super silly)// <<back>>

The curtains close. Say what you want about the Baron, but he's a very good public speaker. Right then. To the engine room? [[To the engine room!|Engine Room]] [[What did he mean by 'special person'?]]

<<if visited() is 1>> \Welcome to the Engine Room! (Try not to inhale.) \<<else>> \We're back in the Engine Room. \<</if>> There's a huge [[engine]]. Next to it is very messy [[desk]].

I can't work out how to move it! I figure there should be an on button around here somewhere, but I can't find one. [[Try the ticket machine?|ticket machine2]] [[Give up on it|Engine Room]]

There are dirty mugs on here that haven't been cleaned in years. \<<if hasVisited("ticket")>> There's an open envelope. \<<else>> There's a [[sealed envelope]]. \<</if>> There's an [[engine manual]]. And then, well, there's a [[pizza advert]]. <<back>>

The envelope says 'Misty' on the front. But at the same time, it does look very mysterious and it would be a shame not to open it. [[Open it!]] <<back>>

//__Barry's Pizza__// //Are you looking for loooove?// //Then why not fool in love with a pizzzzza?// //Litrally why noooot?

Well... This isn't complicated. <<include "Engine Manual">> I'll bring it with us so we can refer to it when needed. \<<set $has_manual = true>> [[Fantastic, I think I've got it|Engine Room]]

I'm not sure how. I've never been good with opening envelopes. [[Rip it open!]] [[Use your teeth!]] \<<if $has_tooth>> [[Use Misty's tooth!]] \<</if>> [[Use a knife!]] <<back>>

No thanks. Then Misty will know we've been snooping around her stuff. We need to do this discreetly, maybe just cut a hole in the bottom. <<back>>

I can't. My teeth aren't sharp enough. I bet Misty has sharp enough teeth though. Maybe that's why the envelope has her name on it. \<<if $has_tenpence>> [[What did she do with that wobbly tooth of hers?]] \<</if>> <<back>>

Which one, the machete or the dagger? [[Machete!|knife][$knife to "machete"]] [[Dagger!|knife][$knife to "dagger"]] <<back [[Try something else?|Open it!]]>>

<<if visited() is 1>> \I was joking. Of course I don't have a $knife, I'm in a prison. Even the knives we get from the Kitchen are cheap and plastic. <<return "Back">> \<<else>> \I use the $knife to open the envelope. Wow, you'll never guess what's inside! [[What?!]] <</if>>

I'm sorry, friend. I still don't have any knives. (I was joking.) Let's try something else. <<back [[Try something else?|Open it!]]>>

Alright, I cut a small opening in the bottom! Ah, you'll never guess what was inside. [[A ticket?|ticket][$header="Yes! Exactly right.\n"]] [[A pizza advert?|ticket][$header="What? No.\n"]] [[A dollar bill?|ticket][$header="Nope.\n"]] [[A certificate?|ticket][$header="Nice try, but no.\n"]]

It was a __train ticket__. I wonder what this could be used for... \<<set $has_ticket = true>> [[Hmmmmmmmmmmmm...|Engine Room]]

Misty's left her tooth under her pillow. [[Take it!]] <<back>>

Who do you think I am? Candlestick Jack? I won't go around stealing people's teeth, that's just not me. [[Give her 10p for it]]

Alright fine, I'll swap it for 10p. \<<set $has_tenpence = false>> \<<set $has_tooth = true>> I hope you're happy, tooth stealer. Now we've got to carry __Misty's tooth__ around with us...

---- //__Engine Manual__// If the only blinking light is the HAZARD light then do not panic. Simply yank the pull cord, then wind the ricket-crank. Do not forget to pour in oil immediately after you yank the pull cord (but before you wind the ricket-crank), and of course ensure the piston is retracted BEFORE you begin. If the only blinking light is the WARNING light then you can safely ignore it, UNLESS the pressure is above 80kPa in which case there is cause for alarm! Quick! Manually retract the piston, pour in oil, and then yank the pull cord twice. BUT! If the warning light is blinking AND the hazard light is on then that can only mean one thing: IMMINENT DISASTER! Listen carefully: DO NOT yank the pull cord, DO remember to wind the ricket-crank but DO NOT forget to manually retract the piston first, then keep pouring in oil until EITHER the hazard light turns off OR the warning light stops blinking OR BOTH. HOWEVER, if you have reason to suspect that there is condensate in the ignition chamber then ignore all the above advice and whatever you do, DO NOT fire the ignition, UNLESS the warning light is blinking, the piston is retracted AND the pressure level is below 10kPa, in which case fire the ignition IMMEDIATELY. //Thank you for choosing Ignit Solutions// ----

Hmm... The lights aren't on in the Kitchen. Maybe we ought to start the engine first. Then we'll have power. <<back>>

GOOD MORNING. The special person today is YOU. //[dramatic finger point]// That is all. GOODBYE. [[Yay|counting3][$speaker = "Two Frog"]]

Well done! I can't wait to try the chef's special later! [[To the engine room!|Engine Room]]

Oh right, yeah. You're special today. You're giving off special vibes. Here's your bucket. [[What's in it?]] [[Thanks, CJ!]]

Are you sure you want to know? Might be better not to think about it. [[Maybe not then|get special]] [[Tell me!]]

Don't call me CJ. [[Thanks, Candlestick Jack!|special food][$speaker to "Two Frog"]]

Hello again friend! What's that bucket you're carrying? [[It's the chef's special]]

Alright then. It's a bucket of spaghetti mixed with tomatoes, olives, spinach, baked beans, sardines, scrambled egg, vinegar, cream cheese, hot sauce and guacamole. [[Oh dear|get special]]

Oh... Wow! It's not quite what I was expecting. [[Tuck in!]]

Oh... Oh goodness gracious... [[Hold your nose!]]

Mmmm... Delicious? [[Halfway there!]]

If I close my eyes then I can almost pretend like everything's ok. [[Almost there!]]

GULP! Finished! What a meal! It reminded me of my wife. Oh, look at that. There's something at the bottom of the bucket. [[What is it?]]

It looks like someone's engraved a __''silver rat''__ at the bottom. That's a little off-putting. \<<set $has_rat to true>> [[Weird!|bath choice]]

Good morning friend! Were you saying goodbye to me? We've only just woken up! [[Old Worm Eater was here!]]

Don't be silly! That was just a wacky dream. (I get those dreams too sometimes!) [[It didn't feel like a dream...|waking][$header = "Good!\n"]]

There is some sort of slot in a box on the table... Maybe this is where a ticket goes? \<<if not $has_ticket>> [[Put a ticket in!|no ticket]] \<<else>> [[Put the ticket in!|train on]] \<</if>> [[Come back later|Engine Room]]

It swallowed it! \<<set $has_ticket = false>> Looks like we're in business! [[Chugga chugga choo choo!][$speaker = "Misty"]]

I can't! I don't have a ticket to put in. <<back "Oh yeah">>

Oi! What are you doing with my train? [[Oh, hello Misty]] [[What do you mean 'your train'?]] [[Just having a look]]

<<if $has_rabbit>> \I think we've spent enough time playing with the train! <<back>> \<<elseif $engine_fixed and $is_train>> \Ah! The train set lights are on.

Hellloooo! I'll ask you again! What do you think you're doing with my train? [[What do you mean 'your train'?]] [[Just having a look]]

It's covered in stars! (also it's got my name on it) [[Oh yeah, so it does|train questions]]

That's not fair! It's not like I ever look at your train. [[True|train questions]] [[Wait, I don't have a train!]]

So? What do you think you're doing with my train? (and how did you turn the power back on?) [[What do you mean 'your train'?]] [[Just having a look]] [[I got a ticket for it!]] [[I fixed the engine!]] [[Please can I play with it?]]

Well how would I know? I've never seen it. Because I'm a good friend! [[Thanks, Misty|train questions]] [[(are we friends?)]]

It's NOT a TOY! So you definitely can't play with it! But you can watch me play with it if you want. [[Let's go!]] [[In a sec|train questions]]

Woo! Where should we go first? [[Islington]] [[Pall Mall]] [[Piccadilly]] [[Mayfair]]

We can be friends if you want to. [[Yay!|train questions]] [[No way!]]

That's ok. I didn't want to be friends with you anyway. [[Me neither!|train questions]]

Hang on a second! There's only ever one ticket each day and I keep it in my envelope! [[I definitely didn't steal it]] [[I may have stolen it|misty badddd]]

I don't believe you! I bet you stole it from me because you hate me. [[I don't hate you!|misty good]] [[I didn't steal it from you even though I hate you!|misty badddd]]

It's the rabbit. \<<set $has_rabbit to true>> Watch out! [[Aaaah!]]

KA-BOOOOOOOOOMMM! The train exploded! Now I'm sad. [[Why did the train explode?]]

It always explodes when we get close to the __''silver rabbit''__. The rabbit's not like the other pieces - there's something weird about it. I'm so upset. [[This happens every day?]]

Yes it does! The train's always put back together by the next morning, but it's not me who does it. It's an endless tragedy. [[See you later, Misty|train_return][$speaker="Two Frog"]] [[Didn't you blow up a bus once?]]

No! I mean yes. But that was different! Nobody was on the bus and nobody got hurt. I would never hurt anyone. I'm not like some of the others here. [[Some of the others here?]] <<back "I see">>

LOL! Can't you tell? You're in for a world of surprise! [[Back|This happens every day?]]

Hello, friend! Did you enjoy your play with Misty? [[I found a silver rabbit!]]

Fantastic! I'm not quite sure what that means, but you sound happy about it! [[Back to the engine room|Engine Room]]

SWEET! are the uses of ADVERSITY. <<return "Great.">>

''Adversity'' //An adverse situation.// <<back>>

You're welcome. Don't get too full of yourself though. We've still got to escape. All you've done so far is find part of the code to unlock the door to the master suite. It might turn out to have been pointless anyway. [[Just open the door!]]

Fine. Here's the riddle on the door: <<include "SilverRiddle">> The silver clues you found (in no particular order) were: a duck, a rabbit, an owl, a rat and an eel. There are five bits to rotate letters: <> <<set $c1 = "a">> <<set $c2 = "a">> <<set $c3 = "a">> <<set $c4 = "a">> <<set $c4 = "a">> <<set $_chars = ["A", "D", "E", "L", "O", "R"]>> <<listbox "$c1" autoselect>> <<optionsfrom $_chars>> <</listbox>> - <<listbox "$c2" autoselect>> <<optionsfrom $_chars>> <</listbox>> - <<listbox "$c3" autoselect>> <<optionsfrom $_chars>> <</listbox>> - <<listbox "$c4" autoselect>> <<optionsfrom $_chars>> <</listbox>> <<listbox "$c5" autoselect>> <<optionsfrom $_chars>> <</listbox>> <> <<link "Try this code?">> \<<if $c1 is "O" and $c2 is "R" and $c3 is "D" and $c4 is "E" and $c5 is "R">> <<goto "door success">> \<<else>> <<replace "#result">> <<=either("Nope, doesn't work.", "Nope.", "No.", "That's not it.", "Wrong!", "Very wrong!", "Incorrect!", "Try something else.", "Almost!", "You're not even close.", "Definitely not.", "No. Why did you think that would work?", "No! Give me a break.", "Failed!", "Hilariously wrong!", "Good guess!", "Nearly there!", "Spectacular failure!")>><</replace>> <</if>> <</link>> \

Oh. It actually opened. That's surprising. To be honest, I thought you'd made all those animals up. [[Enter the master suite!]]

There's a spiral staircase leading upwards. There's a room at the top... The ''Master Suite''. Oh wow. [[What's it like?|Master Suite]]

Big purple bed! It's lovely and soft. Not that I enjoy that, of course. I wouldn't consider myself a soft person, quite the opposite. Hang on - ugh, yuck! This bed stinks of soot. Must be the fire. <<back "Look at something else">>

Someone's been keeping this fire alive, for sure! I wonder who? It doesn't seem like anybody else is here. <<back "Look at something else">>

It's filled with files, surprisingly. There's a lot of stuff in here. Oh my... There's a file in here for each of us. [[What does it say?]]

Well, this is certainly odd. A heavy wooden coffin in the middle of a bedroom? Can't be good. [[What does it say on it?]] [[What's inside?]] [[How do you know it's heavy?]] [[Do something else|Master Suite]]

It goes up to the ceiling. It's quite tall. [[Climb up!]] [[Look around more first|Master Suite]]

You want to go back to the Assembly room? You can't. Two Frog's not there anymore. \<<if $tf_fate>> [[Might as well try and escape then|Master Suite]] \<<else>> [[What do you mean?]] \<</if>>

The ladder [[ends]] at the ceiling. Painted onto the ceiling is a [[circular painting]]. It's a pretty scene in the [[countryside]]. There's also an [[inscription]] around the outside. Oh, and there appear to be small [[clockwork keyholes]] at various locations in the painting. Or we could [[go back down|Master Suite]].

Embezzlement, theft, arson, explosives, poisoning... I think these are our criminal records. We're all in here. Oh wow. Did you know Two Frog boiled his wife? [[Boiled his wife?]]

That's what it says. How could you boil your wife? I don't understand the logistics of it. Oh wait, there's a picture. OH. Well, I always knew Two Frog had something strange about him. \<<if $has_key>> [[Let's do something else|Master Suite]] \<<else>> [[Is there anything else?]] \<</if>>

Ah. How best to put this? He's a little busy at the moment, but he wishes you were there. [[Fair enough|Master Suite]] [[Candlestick Jack, tell me how it is!|not riddle]]

I've been preparing this one for a while. (I'm quite proud of it.) This is what happened to Two Frog: \<<set $tf_fate = true>> <<include "DeathRiddle">> Comprenez-vous? [[I understand perfectly]] [[I haven't a clue what you mean]]

Good. I'm sorry to have put it so bluntly, but 'electrocution' would have taken too long. \<<if $has_escaped>> [[Oh dear|Hooray!]] \<<else>> [[Let's keep moving then|Master Suite]] \<</if>>

Well, you could say that Two Frog's fate is quite 'shocking'. There, that's all you get. That one was quite obvious, actually. Should've stuck with just the riddle. \<<if $has_escaped>> [[Oh dear|Hooray!]] \<<else>> [[Let's keep going then|Master Suite]] \<</if>>

Engraved on the front is a silver chestnut tree. Underneath it, also in silver, are two letters: "E.X." Whose surname begins with X? <<back>>

I can't open it. The lid is sealed on tight with hot glue. [[Hot glue?]] <<back>>

Great. You caught me. I guess I tried to lift it up when we first entered the room? Does that make you happier? You and your attention to detail. <<back "Sure">>

That's what I said. The glue is hot. It hurt me when I touched it. I could touch it again to check if it were still hot, but I strongly imagine it is still hot, in which case I would hurt myself yet again. <<back>>

Fine. Maybe it starts at the ceiling and ends at the floor, in which case I've just climbed it backwards. <<back "Just checking">>

Oh, yes - something fell out while I was perusing the files. It's a __clockwork key__. I'll bring it with us. \<<set $has_key = true>> [[Let's have another look around|Master Suite]]

It's a weirdly complex painting. There's a <<linkreplace "large chestnut tree...">>large chestnut tree in the middle. It's missing a branch.<</linkreplace>> Sat in the shade of the tree is an <<linkreplace "owl...">>owl, throwing various spices into a cooking pot.<</linkreplace>> There is a <<linkreplace "suspicious trail...">>suspicious trail of soup leading away from the cooking pot. It leads to a rat, sniffing at fish bones.<</linkreplace>> On the other side of the tree is a <<linkreplace "duck...">>duck wielding an axe. It looks like it's chopping bits of wood.<</linkreplace>> At the bottom of the painting is a <<linkreplace "lake...">>lake with a small wooden boat. In the boat sits an eel, holding a fishing rod. There are bubbles in the lake where the fishing line enters the water.<</linkreplace>> At the shore of the lake is a <<linkreplace "rabbit...">>rabbit, carrying a long plank of wood. It seems to be assembling a sturdy boat.<</linkreplace>> Oh - and there's also a <<linkreplace "hollow in the tree...">>hollow in the tree. Now that I look closer... There seems to be a hand in the darkness. It's holding a matchstick.<</linkreplace>> <<back>>

The inscription is in golden letters. It reads: //Forgive this substitute of day,// //But who needs sunlight anyway?// <<back>>

There are a number of clockwork keyholes. I think they must be used in some kind of code. \<<if $has_key>> [[Try using the clockwork key!]] \<<else>> [[I guess we ought to look for a key|Climb up!]] \<</if>> \ <> <<set $key_order = ["tree", "duck", "rabbit", "eel", "owl", "rat"]>> <<set $key_pos = 0>> <<set $keyhole = "none">> <>

The countryside! A wonderful place full of bees and butterfiles and pollen. I've been down here for so long I can hardly imagine it. <<back>>

I don't know what order to use the keyholes in. Maybe there's a clue written around here somewhere. Hmm... It does seem that the only one I can turn first is the chestnut tree though. [[Use key on chestnut tree|key][$keyhole = "tree"]] (missing a branch) [[Use key on owl|key][$keyhole = "owl"]] (with cooking pot) [[Use key on rat|key][$keyhole = "rat"]] (eating soup) [[Use key on duck|key][$keyhole = "duck"]] (holding an axe) [[Use key on eel|key][$keyhole = "eel"]] (fishing on the lake) [[Use key on rabbit|key][$keyhole = "rabbit"]] (building a boat) [[Go back|Climb up!]]

I used the key on the <<= $keyhole>> keyhole. \<<if $keyhole is $key_order[$key_pos]>> \ \<<set $key_pos += 1>> \<<if $key_pos is 6>><<goto "escape">><</if>> \ It makes a satisfying click-click-click as I turn it. \ \<<elseif $key_pos is 0>> \ I can't turn the key though. It seems I have to do the chestnut tree first. \ \<<else>> \ \<<set $key_pos = 0>> Hmm... It sounds like the clockwork just reset itself. I don't think that was right. We should start again from the beginning. \<</if>> <<return>>

It worked! \<<set $has_escaped = true>> A hatch in the ceiling swung open to reveal a vertical tunnel. This must be the exit! We've done it, we've escaped! \<<if $tf_fate>> [[Hooray!]] \<<else>> [[Let's go get everyone!]] <</if>>

I can't tell you what happened to Two Frog! It's not the sort of thing you should say out loud. I can tell you in the form of a riddle, though. [[Riddle me up, Candlestick Jack|riddle]]

Hang on... What's that smell? [[Smoke?]]

Oh, right... I forgot to tell you. Two Frog won't be coming. [[Why not?|fate]]

It's not the sort of thing you should say out loud. I can tell you in the form of a riddle, though. [[Riddle me up, Candlestick Jack|riddle]] [[Don't bother, let's just escape|Hooray!]]

Yes, smoke! The coffin! The coffin's on fire! [[What?!|coffin_fire]]

It just caught alight! How did that happen? It's on the opposite side of the room to the fireplace! [[Get the others!]] [[Escape quickly!]]

There's no time! The fire is spreading around the room! Bed's on fire! Filing cabinet's on fire! [[Run away!]]

Good plan! The fire's already spreading... The bed's on fire! Now the filing cabinet's on fire! [[Quickly!|Run away!]]

Up the ladder! Up the ladder! Smoke's coming up behind me... [[Quicker!]]

I'm trying, I'm trying! This tunnel goes on forever... I think I'm nearly at the top! [[The top!]]

Ah-ha! Fresh air at last! [[Woooo!]]

We actually made it! I never thought I'd see the sun again. Aren't you glad you trusted me to help you escape? [[Where are we?]] [[What happened to the others?]] [[What do we do now?]] [[Time to go?]]

Good question. From the looks of it, we've just emerged from beneath an ordinary-seeming manhole cover at the side of the road in Chelmsford. It's very chilly, but at least the sun's out. <<back>>

Probably burned alive. Cheer up, though! At least it's not raining. <<back>>

Whatever you want to do! My criminal record burnt up in that blaze, and I have a sneaking suspicion that no one else has a copy of it. In other words, I'm free to do whatever I want. [[That doesn't sound very responsible]]

I'd say it was nice knowing you, but that would be a lie. I know nothing about you. And I'd prefer to keep it that way. Goodbye, stranger. [[Goodbye, Candlestick Jack][$speaker to ""]]

Responsible? Do you think the people down in that prison were responsible? Because I think they certainly were, they were responsible for a lot of things. And now they're all dead. Right now, I'm feeling less responsible than ever. And it's the best feeling of my life. So don't bother lecturing me on 'responsibility'. [[Ok|Woooo!]]

[[The end?][$speaker to "Misty"]]

Hello, person! It's me, Misty! Are we in Budapest? [[No, we're in Chelmsford]] [[Misty! How did you escape?]]

Ah yes! Chelmsford. <<back>>

Well, I did almost get eaten by flames. But then I used my [[secret jetpack]]! So now I'm perfectly safe. Do you want a ride on my secret jetpack? [[Yes please]] [[No thank you]]

No you didn't! I was listening very carefully and you definitely didn't say it. Sorry! <<back>>

Oh right. Thanks. (CJ says I'm not allowed to play with the engine because it's too dangerous.) <<back>>

Oh don't worry - I'll tell you what was on my wallet... In the form of a riddle! (I made it up myself!) [[Oh great!|duck]]

The only way to turn it off is in the engine room! Sorry! <<back>>

Don't worry. Most people say that. [[Oh dear|train questions]]

Wow! You sure are weird. Welcome to the squad! [[Yay!|train questions]]

Woah! I passed some plates and now we have even more plates than before! It's magic! But we need to make sure that the normal plates don't come into contact with the antimatter plates otherwise there'll be an insane explosion! [[Really?!?|plates][$header = "No. I was joking.\n"]]

No, I found a silver duck on my wallet. Tell me something I don't know already. <<back>>

What? Ask me again in the kitchen later. <<back "Ok">> [[But you don't serve water!]]

I serve anything you'd like. You just need to know how to order it. <<back "Right...">>

There should be __five silver clues__ in total (including the duck). There's probably another one in the __engine room__... There's probably also one in the __bathhouse__... For the other two, try asking around - I'm sure the others here would be willing to help you, if you help them first. <<back>>

What would I like? My, I fancy the CHEF'S SPECIAL! PLEASE get it for me, won't you? I'd KILL for a tasty meal! <<return "Coming right up!">>
