Prizon
by Jason Gamble (2017)


action: %
response: You're dragged out of the medic's station bunk just before dawn by two burly guards. Still sore and bruised from your last beating, you're dizzy and can be sure of only one thing: the next beating will be your last. You almost died from the one that knocked you off your feet for the last three weeks and the only thing you did to earn that one was accidentally making eye contact with one of the guards in the exercise yard.

You must get out of here...
You must get out of here... before anyone figures out why you're in here.
Your silence is the only weapon you have. Their ignorance is the only reason you're still alive.

You can see Door Delta 402, your shelf (on which are your cup (in which are your toothbrush and your tube of toothpaste), a pack of cigarettes and a copy of the Baker of Shireton (closed)), your bed, a sink (empty), a ventilation duct (closed) and a fire sprinkler here.
action: You read baker
response: It's a fantasy novel based on the famous "Age of Aeons" MMORPG called "the Baker of Shireton". There seems to be something hidden in the book.
action: You open the book
response: You open the copy of the Baker of Shireton, revealing a postcard.
action: You look at the postcard
response: It's got a picture of a naked lady on one side, and the scribblings of a lunatic on the other.
action: You read the scribblings
response: There's glyphs, but it's not language. It's the nonsensical hieroglyphics of a maniac. Looks like he wrote it with shit. You'd sniff it, but you're reasonably certain it'll end up being shit. Rat shit. Used to be a lot of rats around until the crazy fucker that used to stay in your cell ate them all.
action: You examine the cigarettes
response: An unopened pack of smokes. You haven't opened it yet because smoking is bad for you.
action: You open it
response: No way. They're more valuable in this condition anyway.
action: You examine the cup
response: A tall, clear Permaplastic cup. Moldproof and dishwasher safe. Rounded edges, and too rubbery to work as an improvised weapon.

In your cup are your toothbrush and your tube of toothpaste.
action: You examine the toothbrush
response: It's a moldproof toothbrush. Even though it's long and thing, it can't be made into a shiv because it's made of Permaplastic.
action: You examine the toothpaste
response: It's empty, and the cap is missing.
action: You examine the shelf
response: On your shelf are your cup (in which are your toothbrush and your tube of toothpaste), a pack of cigarettes and a copy of the Baker of Shireton (in which is a postcard).
action: You look at the bed
response: Your bed is, of course, a standard bunk built into the far wall. No blanket, no pillow. Just a slab that's somehow more comfortable than it looks.
action: You examine sink
response: The sink is nothing special. Just a faucet and a drain.
action: Examine duct
response: (the ventilation duct)
Thanks to clever engineering when they built the prison, the ventilation duct is only three by three inches tall and wide. You're not getting out that way. Might be able to open it for storage though.
action: You open it
response: It seems to be locked.
action: You examine the sprinkler
response: If the guards catch you messing around with that they'll beat you for hours.
action: You examine the faucet
response: The faucet is rustproof, stainless, shiny, voice activated, and broken. The knob is missing.

The faucet is currently switched off.
action: You examine drain
response: It's clogged. It might be connected to the broken faucet.
action: About yourself
response: Inmate D402-JDK. At least, that's what that print on your jumpsuit says.
action: You examine the jumpsuit
response: It's a snug fitting onesie with rubbery soles, and you can't take it off. It's designed to be uncomfortable to keep inmates from having enough range of movement to put up much of a fight. It can also serve as a stabproof vest, pajamas, and thanks to clever design, functions as a shower and toilet. Sadly it does not have pockets out of security concerns. It also makes it impossible to masturbate. All of this makes inmates wearing them extremely agitated, limiting their ability to pool their talents and cause trouble.
action: You turn the faucet
response: Nothing obvious happens.
action: You turn on the sink
response: It's broken. The thing you twist on top is missing.
action: You take the tube
response: Taken.
action: You open the duct
response: (the ventilation duct)
It seems to be locked.
action: You unlock the duct with the tube
response: (the ventilation duct with your tube of toothpaste)
That won't work. You need something long and thin yet sturdy for that.
action: You unlock the duct with toothbrush
response: (the ventilation duct with your toothbrush)
You pry the toothbrush through the grating of the duct panel and manage to unlock the maintenance latch behind the panel. Thanks to your clever reasoning, you can now use the ventilation duct to store some stuff.
action: You open the duct
response: (the ventilation duct)
You open the ventilation duct, revealing a three of clubs and a napkin.
action: You look at three
response: It's the three of clubs.
action: You examine the napkin
response: It has the name 'Layla' on it in girly handwriting, with underneath her phone number. Lots of twos, sevens and nines... you think. Some fucker put a cold glass of ice water on it or something, and it's all blurry. You try to read it and you think it's... 227-277-2292. Well, there's only 59'049 possibilities, you could try them all.
action: Close duct
response: (the ventilation duct)
You close the ventilation duct.
action: You put the toothbrush in the cup
response: You put your toothbrush into your cup.
action: You put the tube in the cup
response: You put your tube of toothpaste into your cup.

response: You open Door Delta 402.
action: Go south
response: You can see Door Delta 402 and Guard 176 here.
action: You look at the Guard
response: Everyone's on edge. They'll probably beat you if you try approaching them. Discretion is the better part of valor plus it's nice to have teeth, so let's not draw any attention to yourself.
action: You look west
response: Roof access is to the west.
action: You look east
response: Delta Courtyard is to the east.

action: You look south
response: The Library is to the south.
action: Go south
response: You can see a library bag (closed) here.
action: You examine the bag
response: It's a messenger bag that one can wear thanks to an adjustable strap. It's used to collect library books that found their way out of the library and return them. It could help you carry things around without raising suspicion.
action: You look west
response: Alpha Courtyard is to the west.
action: You look east
response: Charlie Courtyard is to the east.
action: You look south
response: Bravo Courtyard is to the south.
