Marc looks with some satisfaction at Mike, then assumes a very serious (oracular, one might say) pose. A holographic image of an hourglass miraculously appears beside him, the number "10" glowing inside with a harsh, red light.  The number "10" is replaced by "9" as his voice drops three or four octaves. "Now hear the Oracle of the Implementers," he begins. (7) "The Wisdom of the Ages," he continues, in no apparent hurry. (5) "The Revealed Truth of All Truths," he drones, the word `truths' somehow adding an extra syllable or two. (2) And, finally, "Listen." Then, snapping out of his trance-like state, he looks in your direction rather sheepishly. "Sorry about that," he says. "I get a little carried away. Just another five Zorkmids and I'll finish up with a really juicy piece of information."  He looks at you expectantly.

Marc's bust does a double-take. "Hmm," he hmms. "Not a bad-looking specimen, though back in the old days, they built `em tougher." description: Museum of Illusion inventory: ['brass lantern', 'glasses', 'ZM$100000', 'Multi-Implementeers', 'razor-like gloves', 'cheaply-made sword'] |action| pull tinsel reward: 0 hint: ['examine lantern', 'west', 'turn lantern off', 'take red lens', 'take off gloves', 'untie tinsel', 'put lantern down', 'put multi down', 'put tinsel down', 'put glasses down', 'put gloves down', 'put sword down', 'put all down', 'put on glasses', 'empty glasses', 'examine glasses', 'throw lantern', 'throw multi', 'put lantern in slot', 'put lantern in glasses', 'push red lens to lantern', 'push red lens to slot', 'push red lens to glasses', 'put tinsel in slot', 'put all in slot', 'put all in glasses', 'empty glasses into slot'] state: Taken.

With a blink of his eye, the tinsel goes up in a ball of sparks and flame (pyrotechnics being a specialty with him) and the coin drops fully into the slot.

Marc assumes the oracular position and intones: "Ahem. It may be uncommon knowledge, but, it should be clear to see that text is not a great three-D medium. You may be blue, but looking through rose colored glasses helps bring things into alignment."

Mike says, "True, Marc. All too true. As you know, I'd try to pry the sixth rib I saw."

Museum of Adventure
This museum is a sick, twisted, and pitiful homage to that special creature as near and dear to my heart as a parser, the Adventurer. There, in the center of the room, sits a display that sends a shiver up your spine: A skeleton. On the small pedestal beside it sits a plaque. The walls have been clawed, the wallpaper and exhibit signs shredded by what was probably an over-excited tourist group of grues. In what looks like the remnants of their enthusiastic visit, piles of bones lie on the floor, cracked open, fang-marks clearly evident on their glistening white surfaces. One sign on the wall by a door to the southwest remains, though.

Janitor's Closet
As you step through the doorway, you realize you've entered a room so vast, you can see the distant curvature of the Earth. On the distant, foggy horizon, the ceiling appears to meet the floor, blending in the mist. The only thing in this enormous, cavernous area are shelves, shelves and more shelves, all of them empty, dwindling into nothingness. This of course disproves the ancient belief that there's never enough closet space.

On the shelves is an aerosol can.

The Mud Forum
This large, square chamber is certainly messy enough for a mud forum (whatever that might be), but there is no mud in sight (for purposes of argument, it could be postulated that the water source for the mud has dried up, or that mud was brought in for some scientific purpose, or that MUD refers to a Multi-User Dungeon of the sort now popular among the better-socialized members of the adventurer class.) In the southeast corner of the room a sign reading, "Exhibit Closed! Danger!" overlays another sign, beneath which is a sealed door. On the floor, starting near the center of the room, four large symbols have been painted in royal purple; a large display unit with a heavy wooden cover stands behind.

At first, a blurred image appears. Then, after a few moments, an almost magical, three-dimensional scene comes into view: a man with a flattened head stands in the foreground, while directly behind him is a tree. Behind the tree you can clearly see a house, while behind the house, hovering off the ground, is a hot-air balloon. Oddly, the raft appears off to the side, as if not in the scene at all. After getting a good look, you drop the cover and release the button.

Museum of Illusion
The Museum of Illusion was dedicated to the memory of the Great Implementers - figures who were believed to have created the GUE as an act of pure will. Before you, a row of delicately crafted porcelain busts of these immortal greats once stood. Legend has it that so lifelike were these busts, that they would seem to talk among themselves, discussing history, the arts, music, and philosophy, much as those mythic figures did in the Golden Age of Text Adventures. But years of neglect and the ravages of time have toppled most from atop their finely-wrought pedestals. Now, alas, the only two that remain are those of Marc Blank and Mike Berlyn, bloodied, but unbent; battered, but unbroken; shaken, but not stirred.

Worse than the physical desecration of this shrine, it is clear that an attempt was made to commercialize what remains, for now, above the busts, is a sign reading, "Consult the Oracles - 10 Zorkmids."  Beneath the sign is a coin-sized slot.

Mike's eyes, like those on a famous science-fiction adventure game box, seem to follow you as you approach. "Marc! Wake up! We have company!" description: Museum of Illusion inventory: ['quint-Zorkmid coin, tied to tinsel', 'brass lantern', 'glasses', 'ZM$100000', 'Multi-Implementeers', 'razor-like gloves', 'cheaply-made sword'] |action| put coin in slot reward: 0 hint: ['west', 'turn lantern off', 'take red lens', 'take tinsel', 'take off gloves', 'untie tinsel', 'put lantern down', 'put multi down', 'put glasses down', 'put gloves down', 'put sword down', 'put all down', 'put on glasses', 'empty glasses', 'examine glasses', 'lower tinsel', 'throw lantern', 'throw multi', 'throw tinsel', 'put lantern in slot', 'put lantern in glasses', 'push red lens to lantern', 'push red lens to slot', 'push red lens to glasses', 'put all in glasses', 'empty glasses into slot'] state: The coin drops into the slot, but (unbeknownst to Mike and Marc) remains tied to the tinsel.

Marc looks with some satisfaction at Mike, then assumes a very serious (oracular, one might say) pose. A holographic image of an hourglass miraculously appears beside him, the number "10" glowing inside with a harsh, red light.  The number "10" is replaced by "9" as his voice drops three or four octaves. "Now hear the Oracle of the Implementers," he begins. (7) "The Wisdom of the Ages," he continues, in no apparent hurry. (5) "The Revealed Truth of All Truths," he drones, the word `truths' somehow adding an extra syllable or two. (2) And, finally, "Listen." Then, snapping out of his trance-like state, he looks in your direction rather sheepishly. "Sorry about that," he says. "I get a little carried away. Just another five Zorkmids and I'll finish up with a really juicy piece of information."  He looks at you expectantly.

Marc's bust does a double-take. "Hmm," he hmms. "Not a bad-looking specimen, though back in the old days, they built `em tougher." description: Museum of Illusion inventory: ['brass lantern', 'glasses', 'ZM$100000', 'Multi-Implementeers', 'razor-like gloves', 'cheaply-made sword'] |action| pull tinsel reward: 0 hint: ['examine lantern', 'west', 'turn lantern off', 'take red lens', 'take off gloves', 'untie tinsel', 'put lantern down', 'put multi down', 'put tinsel down', 'put glasses down', 'put gloves down', 'put sword down', 'put all down', 'put on glasses', 'empty glasses', 'examine glasses', 'throw lantern', 'throw multi', 'put lantern in slot', 'put lantern in glasses', 'push red lens to lantern', 'push red lens to slot', 'push red lens to glasses', 'put tinsel in slot', 'put all in slot', 'put all in glasses', 'empty glasses into slot'] state: Taken.

Mike's bust looks wistful. "Sigh," he sighs. "Oh for the olden, golden days of yore." description: Museum of Illusion inventory: ['quint-Zorkmid coin, tied to tinsel', 'brass lantern', 'glasses', 'ZM$100000', 'Multi-Implementeers', 'razor-like gloves', 'cheaply-made sword'] |action| put coin in slot reward: 10 hint: ['west', 'turn lantern off', 'take red lens', 'take off gloves', 'put lantern down', 'put multi down', 'put glasses down', 'put gloves down', 'put sword down', 'put all down', 'put on glasses', 'empty glasses', 'examine glasses', 'throw lantern', 'throw multi', 'put lantern in slot', 'put lantern in glasses', 'push red lens to lantern', 'push red lens to slot', 'push red lens to glasses', 'put all in glasses', 'empty glasses into slot'] state: Mike seems surprised (and not altogether pleased) that you've been able to put the same quint-Zorkmid coin in twice. With a blink of his eye, the tinsel goes up in a ball of sparks and flame (pyrotechnics being a specialty with him) and the coin drops fully into the slot.

Marc assumes the oracular position and intones: "Ahem. It may be uncommon knowledge, but, it should be clear to see that text is not a great three-D medium. You may be blue, but looking through rose colored glasses helps bring things into alignment."

Mike says, "True, Marc. All too true. As you know, I'd try to pry the sixth rib I saw."

Museum of Adventure
This museum is a sick, twisted, and pitiful homage to that special creature as near and dear to my heart as a parser, the Adventurer. There, in the center of the room, sits a display that sends a shiver up your spine: A skeleton. On the small pedestal beside it sits a plaque. The walls have been clawed, the wallpaper and exhibit signs shredded by what was probably an over-excited tourist group of grues. In what looks like the remnants of their enthusiastic visit, piles of bones lie on the floor, cracked open, fang-marks clearly evident on their glistening white surfaces. One sign on the wall by a door to the southwest remains, though.

Janitor's Closet
As you step through the doorway, you realize you've entered a room so vast, you can see the distant curvature of the Earth. On the distant, foggy horizon, the ceiling appears to meet the floor, blending in the mist. The only thing in this enormous, cavernous area are shelves, shelves and more shelves, all of them empty, dwindling into nothingness. This of course disproves the ancient belief that there's never enough closet space.

On the shelves is an aerosol can.

The Mud Forum
This large, square chamber is certainly messy enough for a mud forum (whatever that might be), but there is no mud in sight (for purposes of argument, it could be postulated that the water source for the mud has dried up, or that mud was brought in for some scientific purpose, or that MUD refers to a Multi-User Dungeon of the sort now popular among the better-socialized members of the adventurer class.) In the southeast corner of the room a sign reading, "Exhibit Closed! Danger!" overlays another sign, beneath which is a sealed door. On the floor, starting near the center of the room, four large symbols have been painted in royal purple; a large display unit with a heavy wooden cover stands behind.

Behind the tree you can clearly see a house, while behind the house, hovering off the ground, is a hot-air balloon. Oddly, the raft appears off to the side, as if not in the scene at all. After getting a good look, you drop the cover and release the button.

You are in the Holiday Inn registration room. You talk to some suspicious guys, but they don't talk until you hold your gun to their side. "Alright! Alright! I'll talk! He's on the 15th floor! That's all I can tell ya!" You shove them away. You walk up to the registration desk and show the woman there your badge. She gives you the master ring. You now have access to all of the facilitys on the 15th floor. But the problem is that the 15th floor is the suite level, and there are 30 suites, and 5 pools, 2 saunas and 5 game rooms. Big problem! Well, you have all night. You get a picture of all on the 15th floor, the people up there have to show their drivers license to be admitted, and the license is secretly xeroxed. You look at them all. Well, better get started. You see one person who stands out. You get his room number from the lady. Room 30. Now you have to find it. To get started, go north.

Museum of Illusion
The Museum of Illusion was dedicated to the memory of the Great Implementers - figures who were believed to have created the GUE as an act of pure will. Before you, a row of delicately crafted porcelain busts of these immortal greats once stood. Legend has it that so lifelike were these busts, that they would seem to talk among themselves, discussing history, the arts, music, and philosophy, much as those mythic figures did in the Golden Age of Text Adventures. But years of neglect and the ravages of time have toppled most from atop their finely-wrought pedestals. Now, alas, the only two that remain are those of Marc Blank and Mike Berlyn, bloodied, but unbent; battered, but unbroken; shaken, but not stirred.

Worse than the physical desecration of this shrine, it is clear that an attempt was made to commercialize what remains, for now, above the busts, is a sign reading, "Consult the Oracles - 10 Zorkmids."  Beneath the sign is a coin-sized slot.

Mike's eyes, like those on a famous science-fiction adventure game box, seem to follow you as you approach. "Marc! Wake up! We have company!" description: Museum of Illusion inventory: ['quint-Zorkmid coin, tied to tinsel', 'brass lantern', 'glasses', 'ZM$100000', 'Multi-Implementeers', 'razor-like gloves', 'cheaply-made sword'] |action| put coin in slot reward: 0 hint: ['west', 'turn lantern off', 'take red lens', 'take tinsel', 'take off gloves', 'untie tinsel', 'put lantern down', 'put multi down', 'put glasses down', 'put gloves down', 'put sword down', 'put all down', 'put on glasses', 'empty glasses', 'examine glasses', 'lower tinsel', 'throw lantern', 'throw multi', 'throw tinsel', 'put lantern in slot', 'put lantern in glasses', 'push red lens to lantern', 'push red lens to slot', 'push red lens to glasses', 'put all in glasses', 'empty glasses into slot'] state: The coin drops into the slot, but (unbeknownst to Mike and Marc) remains tied to the tinsel.

Marc looks with some satisfaction at Mike, then assumes a very serious (oracular, one might say) pose. A holographic image of an hourglass miraculously appears beside him, the number "10" glowing inside with a harsh, red light.  The number "10" is replaced by "9" as his voice drops three or four octaves. "Now hear the Oracle of the Implementers," he begins. (7) "The Wisdom of the Ages," he continues, in no apparent hurry. (5) "The Revealed Truth of All Truths," he drones, the word `truths' somehow adding an extra syllable or two. (2) And, finally, "Listen." Then, snapping out of his trance-like state, he looks in your direction rather sheepishly. "Sorry about that," he says. "I get a little carried away. Just another five Zorkmids and I'll finish up with a really juicy piece of information."  He looks at you expectantly.

Marc's bust does a double-take. "Hmm," he hmms. "Not a bad-looking specimen, though back in the old days, they built `em tougher." description: Museum of Illusion inventory: ['brass lantern', 'glasses', 'ZM$100000', 'Multi-Implementeers', 'razor-like gloves', 'cheaply-made sword'] |action| pull tinsel reward: 0 hint: ['examine lantern', 'west', 'turn lantern off', 'take red lens', 'take off gloves', 'untie tinsel', 'put lantern down', 'put multi down', 'put tinsel down', 'put glasses down', 'put gloves down', 'put sword down', 'put all down', 'put on glasses', 'empty glasses', 'examine glasses', 'throw lantern', 'throw multi', 'put lantern in slot', 'put lantern in glasses', 'push red lens to lantern', 'push red lens to slot', 'push red lens to glasses', 'put tinsel in slot', 'put all in slot', 'put all in glasses', 'empty glasses into slot'] state: Taken.

"Oh for the olden, golden days of yore." description: Museum of Illusion inventory: ['quint-Zorkmid coin, tied to tinsel', 'brass lantern', 'glasses', 'ZM$100000', 'Multi-Implementeers', 'razor-like gloves', 'cheaply-made sword'] |action| put coin in slot reward: 10 hint: ['west', 'turn lantern off', 'take red lens', 'take off gloves', 'put lantern down', 'put multi down', 'put glasses down', 'put gloves down', 'put sword down', 'put all down', 'put on glasses', 'empty glasses', 'examine glasses', 'throw lantern', 'throw multi', 'put lantern in slot', 'put lantern in glasses', 'push red lens to lantern', 'push red lens to slot', 'push red lens to glasses', 'put all in glasses', 'empty glasses into slot'] state: Mike seems surprised (and not altogether pleased) that you've been able to put the same quint-Zorkmid coin in twice. With a blink of his eye, the tinsel goes up in a ball of sparks and flame (pyrotechnics being a specialty with him) and the coin drops fully into the slot.

Marc assumes the oracular position and intones: "Ahem. It may be uncommon knowledge, but, it should be clear to see that text is not a great three-D medium. You may be blue, but looking through rose colored glasses helps bring things into alignment."

Mike says, "True, Marc. All too true. As you know, I'd try to pry the sixth rib I saw."

Museum of Adventure
This museum is a sick, twisted, and pitiful homage to that special creature as near and dear to my heart as a parser, the Adventurer. There, in the center of the room, sits a display that sends a shiver up your spine: A skeleton. On the small pedestal beside it sits a plaque. The walls have been clawed, the wallpaper and exhibit signs shredded by what was probably an over-excited tourist group of grues. In what looks like the remnants of their enthusiastic visit, piles of bones lie on the floor, cracked open, fang-marks clearly evident on their glistening white surfaces. One sign on the wall by a door to the southwest remains, though.

As you step through the doorway, you realize you've entered a room so vast, you can see the distant curvature of the Earth. On the distant, foggy horizon, the ceiling appears to meet the floor, blending in the mist.

This of course disproves the ancient belief that there's never enough closet space.

On the shelves is an aerosol can.

The Mud Forum
This large, square chamber is certainly messy enough for a mud forum (whatever that might be), but there is no mud in sight (for purposes of argument, it could be postulated that the water source for the mud has dried up, or that mud was brought in for some scientific purpose, or that MUD refers to a Multi-User Dungeon of the sort now popular among the better-socialized members of the adventurer class.) In the southeast corner of the room a sign reading, "Exhibit Closed! Danger!" overlays another sign, beneath which is a sealed door. On the floor, starting near the center of the room, four large symbols have been painted in royal purple; a large display unit with a heavy wooden cover stands behind.

This is the entrance to the library. The circulation desk dominates the room, seemingly cobbled together over the course of several generations from an assortment of desks and tables. A pair of security gates stands before the front doors to prevent people from stealing books. A card catalog lurks in a dark and dusty corner of the room, seemingly cringing away from the harsh flourescent light. Glass doors to the west lead to the book stacks; an archway to the northwest is labelled "Duplicating Services"; a door to the north bears a sign marked "Private" in large friendly letters; and the exit is to the east

Ground Floor Stacks
This cavernous room is lit with flickering flourescent lighting which makes the ceiling look even lower than it really is. It is filled with half-empty shelves, upon which rest the dusty boxes of many early games. To one side sits a massive, ancient desk, its surface cluttered with paperwork. A sign on the wall indicates that this is the reference desk, which would make the prim young woman sitting behind it the reference librarian. A doorway to the north is labelled "Stairs", and glass doors lead east to the lobby.
