West of House

You are standing in an open field west of a white house, with a boarded front door.

There is a small mailbox here.

Such are the exertions of this futile task that you start to sweat so copiously that the room begins to fill up with perspiration - will you short the hi-fi system (Yipee !) or gulp, drown ? (Boo)

... in 9/8

I've been thinking about doing this for a while, and even though this may be a terrible idea that ends in failure and the gnashing of teeth, I'm going to try it anyway.

This is based upon the concept of Jailbreak, which is an interactive adventure. You respond to this thread with your suggestions about what the character(s) should do next, and I will illustrate it extremely poorly. Your suggestion can be obvious, clever, or extremely stupid: I will read all of them and pick which one I think is for whatever reason, the best, and if I can't decide I will lean towards the one that was posted earlier. I have a few ideas about what is going on, but this is mostly up to you.

The original adventure used the first suggestion 100% of the time, but I think that's boring since it gives everybody else no reason to post. For the sake of simplicity, the initial set-up is similar to Jailbreak, but if this is successful and I don't lose the will to waste time on this, I will branch out to other locations that aren't a square, featureless room! The characters will probably slowly start to look better as this goes on, but if you're expecting art that isn't hilariously bad, look elsewhere. Just think of it as outsider art. ;-)

So, here goes nothing! (Except for free time)

You awake with a start by the loudspeaker playing the song Big Generator. You are in a small, hideously yellow room that contains absolutely nothing of interest. As you begin to stand, you see that you only have three fingers. You are also dismayed to discover that you cannot remember anything about yourself, except that you used to have more fingers, and probably some hair too. Stunned by this revelation, you fall back to the ground.

	Eat the mailbox! MAILBOX!
	Trendsetter win! The search for nonexistent perfection.

	Look around the room to see what other objects of interest are there.

	You scream in horror at the thought of trying to dance in 9/8 to Big Generator! Big Generator isn't even in 9/8!
