YOU CAN'T SEE SQUAT

You find yourself in a completely dark room, coming to just as you hear the door behind you lock. You are not bound to anything, but you can tell your wrists and ankles were bound with rope recently. A quick search of your pockets reveals you have no items on your person - ones that would help you see or otherwise.


You're not really sure about anything that's going on right now. All you know is that something in this room reeks. Your SCHNOZOMETER is going nuts.

You crawl on your ass until you feel your back against the cold, metal door. You shiver a little. You use the handle to pull yourself up, your breath shaky and your legs feeling weak. For good measure, you jiggle it a little and confirm that it is indeed locked.


You start following the left side of a wall, making a mental map of the place as you do.

A black right triangle cut from a square. On the bottom right angle is a thin grey rectangle, and in the other two angles are two larger grey rectangles.

As you get closer and closer to the right side of the room (from the perspective of you with your back against the door, for clarity) the pungent smell gets worse and worse until your keen SCHNOZOMETER tells you you're right next to the source.

SCHNOZOMETER RATING: CHUCK-UP IMMINENT


Quickly continuing until you hit the door again, you determine that you're stuck in a square room with a few furnishings. You can pretty accurately tell how big the room is, too. With a full mental map, you have halved the rate at which you will probably stub your toe.

A black square with a smaller dark grey square inside. At the corners of the black square are various light grey squares and rectangles. Along the right side wall is a sickly green rectangle.

You follow the left wall back to the top left furnishing, carefully running your hands across it. You find a handle to what can easily be assumed to be a drawer, which you open. You hear a few small items rattle around as you do, but you can't tell what they are just from sound.

This is not another trilogy, it's just another story.

You carefully reach your hand into the drawer and feel about. There are a total of three items. One is a small, rubber ball, the other feels like a pen, and the third is what seems to be a sheath without a dagger in it.

You drop the pen into the sheath. It clatters around a little bit.


> Lick the bottom left object on your internal map.

You make your way to the bottom left of the room and run your tongue against the furnishing there. Your face recoils as your TASTEOMETER goes into the negatives. It appears you have licked a bed that has had some unpleasant materials seep into it.

You make your way back to the drawer and grab the ball, bouncing it a few times for good measure. Thanks to some pretty good coordination, you're able to catch it. While it might not prove useful, it never hurts to have a small, rubber ball on your person. You take the pen and sheath while you're at it.
