This is the third in the Art of Minimalism series. As with the last one, it's completely different from the previous.

RULES:
Join at any time.
Standard RtD rules. 1d6.
Try to limit yourself to one action per turn. A series of actions is allowed, if they're actually related. More than that, or if the series includes unrelated actions, and you'll start to take penalties.
Please, no transforming or summoning items. That was a pain last time. On a related note, stick to humanity, at least at spawn. If you need an item, use the Machine.
You start with a random item in your pocket. You may influence this by requesting a specific item on spawn, but this will be modified by a roll! Don't ask for weapons if you don't want to roll a 1! This item must be one that could reasonably fit in a largish pocket. STOP SPAWNING WITH NPCs.
Thinking of something may influence what the Machine spits out.
You can turn items into other items if you can find the necessary items to do so.
Have fun.

-----

Room Description:
You appear in a room hewn of solid stone and then smoothed. You are clothed in a bathrobe, slippers, and underwear. In the middle of the room is a Machine composed of gears, belts, and other mechanical bits. On each of seven sides is a large sign, written in at least a dozen languages:
"To use, place an item in  a compartment and press any button."
What will you do?

Items:

((I could use a item? Where do i get the other item?))
You could use items.
What other item?

Anyways, I suppose I could update now.

Spawn while thinking about bow and arrows.. Place underwear in machine.
(Fair to assume you want to press a button?)
[4] You get a few arrows. [3] Underwear removed, placed into machine. Button pressed, sound made.

Think of a laptop.
[5] You get a very powerful netbook.

GM note: Apparently, I failed to realise something. Fixing rule which shoulda been obvious.

Spawn with a zerg egg in my pocket. Wave to Spinal, and Misko.

"Why aren't you wearing underwear?"

[1] It's a chicken egg. You are sad.

Spawn thinking of a great laptop.
[1] You have a cardboard box that used to hold a Cray supercomputer.

Yay!
Fashion whatever comes out into a bow.
Also tighten the front of my bathrobe.
You pull out...huh, a cotton string and a long, stiffish piece of something. [1] It makes an easily broken bow. It breaks. [6]You realize that there's a girl in the room, and tighten the bathrobe to the point that you can't breathe!

Play DF. Wave at Cas.
[6] You start up Dwarf Fortress. It's a version which accidentally let's the dwarves out of the window to rampage across the computer.
"Hi, Cassie!"

Toss the egg into the machine, press the button, and think of tame dinosaurs.
