SURVIVE
« on: August 29, 2009, 05:41:56 pm »
Your goal is to survive.  Wherever you might be.  Make a nice settlement for yourself if you want to (you'll need to).  I will make this as real as it's every going to get, play dumb and die.  This first life you wake up inside what looks to be a box.  It's really hot in here and you have a switch-blade knife in your pocket.

Examine the walls, see if it would be possible to cut through them. If so, make a door with the knife. If not, try looking for a secret compartment or something. Floor hatch...Just look for an exit.

You crawl over to the north side of the box.  There's hardly any room in here.  The wall feels thin and weak.  You push to make sure, it bends easily.  You equip your switch-blade knife and cut a hole about 2 feet by 2 feet into the side of the box.  Light emerges from the new hole and blinds you a little bit, you can see a few feet outside.  You put your knife back in your pocket.

Blink rapidly to get used to the light, then look around.

Gah. Ninja'd.

You don't see anything immeadiately threatening, cut open the box further and step out.

First look in immediate vicinity before stepping out of box, don't want to get killed this quickly.

I suspect you've never tried doing many illegal things yet in your game. The second the CCS knows you're "active", they'll come down on you like the hammer of God.

You blink rapidly for a minute, to get use to the light.  You can see a lot better now.  You crawl out of the box to stretch you limbs.  A gaping, huge canyon is in front of you, you can see the sun low in the sky to the north.  If it is a sun, you can look at it without it hurting your eyes.  It's small and round.  It's way over at the other side of the canyon.  You guess that the canyon is about 100 feet wide?  Hmm...whatever.  The ground around you is mostly dirt and spots of grass every once in a while.  You hear running water.  The box behind you is not very tall, you can see over it.  You are standing next to that 2x2 feet piece of box that you cut out.  You can see that your t-shirt is white, your pants are blue jeans, and you're not wearing shoes.

Figure out what the box is made out of, and see if our inventory is hammer-space by trying to pickup the box chunk.

Looks like brown card-board to me.  Really cheap too, could never carry a person in this thing.  It's quite large, but not very high.  You walk over and pick up the box chunk,  you don't have any place to put it so you just hold it with your left hand, it's really light.

Try to find the source of running water. Which is always crucial for life.

You don't want to miss anything important so you walk over to behind the box, looks just like the other sides, except for what looks like writing in the middle.  It's too small to see unless you examined it.  The running water sounds like it's coming from the south.  You think you heard an animal for a second.

be on the lookout for the animal, and head south, towards the water.
