 ...  You regain consciousness after being knocked out by what you could only describe as a CATASTROPHIC EXPLOSION This wouldn't be the first time you've woken up to find yourself in ENIGMATIC CIRCUMSTANCES. You recall waking up earlier, being trapped in your room, and engaging in a lot of FRIVOLITY and PUZZLE SOLVING. At some point the explosion happened, and now you feel like you're back to zero. Your head is ringing with a HEADACHE even larger than the last one. You're getting pretty sick this |

> Roll over and go back to sleep. You know what, you aren't dealing with this anymore. You're done with all this unproductive meandering. You're just going to catch some sleep. Whoever did all this to your house can just deal with waiting.   MEANDERING SOUNDS REALLY GREAT ALL OF A SUDDEN  You've fallen from your BEDROOM to your MAINROOM, and, wow, is it a mess. The whole house seems to be falling apart. You're beginning to wonder how much money you can sue for this. You hear the same RINGING outside that you heard before, but it seems much louder. You also think you hear a faint ALERT TONE coming from THE LAB downstairs. > Check the broken metel egg
> Make sure the other egg is not cracked and is okay This isn't an egg. It's your LIGHTING ASSISTANT BOT named, EUREKA! He seems really happy to see you! This little guy helps you in the lab by keeping your projects lit at whatever angle you need.  This one is your LAMP that was attached to your dresser. You recall that it was involved in some sort of PUZZLE keeping you in your room. Whatever it was, it's broken now. > Assess facial hair situation.  You certainly remember drawing these bad boys yourself. You may be a PROFESSIONAL SCIENTIST©, but let it never be said that you never engaged in some IRONIC FRIVOLITY.

You would, but you don't seem to have your MARKER anywhere near you.
>Engage in more IRONIC FRIVOLITY
As fun as that would be, you're feeling that it's about time you started sorting things out. The explosion has you wondering if you aren't in any more IMPENDING DANGER.

Aww yes! Housening is back!
Consider LODGED COUCH. What room lies beyond it? Can you squeeze past its tender soft cushions to exit? Or is the tilted comfort too overwhelming to pass?
Investigate BARRED STAIRWELL? Is it locked, perhaps PUZZLELOCKED?

> How does one shove a couch through a door? The only question you can think about is how you're going to get it out> Abscond Well you could always try and...  OOF! > Consider LODGED COUCH. What room lies beyond it? Can you squeeze past its tender soft cushions to exit? Or is the tilted comfort too overwhelming to pass? It is pretty much STUCK. You can't even get the thing to budge. Although, if you were to climb over the top you could squeeze through, but it seems like it would be a ONE WAY trip. You don't think you could get back if you entered in to the hallway.  It doesn't seem like there's anything of immediate interest in the hallway. Just the doors to the BATHROOM, CLOSET, and the SIDEYARD. You can't see it from here but the STAIRCASE is to the right. There seems to be a SUBSTANCE, leaking out of the closet. You honestly don't want to know > Ponder your list of enemies. Oh Pfft, like any of your rivals could pull off a stunt like this. You're leagues smarter than anyone who is petty enough to be jealous of you, and your house is, or was, fortified beyond anything those guys could of possibly broken in to. You are certain this was done by some ROGUE MYSTERY CHARACTER. You're thinking it might have something to do with your stockpile of technology that could probably cripple all the worlds governments if used properly. > Investigate BARRED STAIRWELL? Is it locked, perhaps PUZZLELOCKED? Oh boy, this is bad! This entrance to your LAB only gets sealed off when the house believes it's being sabotaged. The only way to prove to the house that everything is okay is calm down the INTERNAL THREAT DETECTION SYSTEM. Usually a funny joke, or some nice gifts do the trick. It seems like no one has figured that out yet. But it doesn't seem to matter, because you just recognized the ALERT TONE you've been hearing. It's indicating that there is a MALFUNCTION OF CRITICALLY DESTRUCTIVE EFFECT. The house is probably way too stressed out by this to open up for you. You are still completely confident in your decision to make your home security based on emotional parameters. Just because it's backfiring on you now, doesn't mean it wasn't a great idea.

Talk to the house! Stroke it's carpet! Tell it that it's pretty! Hey, have you been doing something with the closet? Like water? Wow, you are so creative house! Sooth it with flattery.
Turn on the charm and Smoulder!
Have Eureka Slip past the Lab Bars to retrieve some more gizmos.

> Talk to the house! Stroke it's carpet! Tell it that it's pretty! Hey, have you been doing something with the closet? Like water? Wow, you are so creative house! Sooth it with flattery.  You comfort your house; it's obviously been through a lot and just needs to hear a familiar voice. You tell your house how much you appreciate it, and how it's doing such a great job not collapsing after such heavy structural damage. You stroke the floor. You never think about the fact that you stroked the floor of your house again.  You tell the house that it's the most fortified and practically efficacious station of operations an inventor could ask for. Every house has low days, it's no big deal; the crumbling walls don't make you any less awesome. You don't even care; you're going to have a ton of fun re-mechanizing and of the broken systems. You can't even tell that all of your furniture is destroyed or missing.. or that all of your lab work has probably been destroyed.... Who even knows where your favorite memorabilia ended up in the rubble. Don't.. even.. worry.. house  You can't keep this up anymore. Seeing your house in this state is really tearing at you.  Your house has probably been the most important thing to you your entire life. As long as you've been here you've sunk so much of yourself in to it; all of your interests, your creativity, your progress as a scientist, your house acted as a backdrop and archive for it all. As weird as it may sound, your house was kind of an extension of your identity. After so many years, you were really starting to appreciate the story your house was beginning to tell. Now it's all in rubble, and you can't ever get it back. You mean sure, you could always rebuild and do new things, and those things would be much better than what you had before, but you're losing a footprint that you can't ever make the same again.
