look outside
>Look out the Window
Its another beautiful day in the flying city of Atheron. How it floats, you don't know. Some techno-babble you don't understand. You are currently staying at the FOUNDRY HOTEL, which used to be a metalwork until there was a horrible accident followed by a lawsuit and then bankruptcy. A classic tale. The inner conspiracy theorist in you, however, believes it was all a coverup because the metalwork was experimenting with a rare, illegal alloy.
Oh well time to go.
Take that exclamation mark.
> Examine ! on bed
Oh. One of
these things again. They have been appearing near you ever since you started going into the Dreamscape. One of them fell and broke your favorite mug, and since then you have hated the things. They usually vanish after a few seconds but lately they have been staying longer and longer...
What's that suitcase box chest
It's empty! Yay!
Psyche. You store your bong in it as to not alert the authorities. Like come on. Apparently its illegal to carry bongs around because they can be considered "a weapon". Really? Who in their right mind uses a bong as a weapon?
Wonder how you can afford to live in a hotel. Search for hidden safes.
Yeaaah about that... You kinda hacked your way into the Hotel. You see they have LAI-DEs (Linguistics Artificial Intelligence - Desk Employee) running the front desk, which are just cash registers with a few extra bells and whistles. You just pulled a few plugs from the back of it's head then stole one of the room keys...
By the way, you're broke.
Desperation kicks in as you kick the exclamation mark aside and examine under the bed for any trace of loose change or maybe a secret safe.
Great. You didn't find anything.
