; 24/11/89 MESSAGE 1 As you turn the peg in the round hole, the lights go out. END_MESSAGE 1 MESSAGE 2 After a short pause, you hear a terrified bellow from the cave below. ...EXIT BEAR, PURSUED BY GRUE.... You feel the rough fur of the bear brush past you as he makes for the light above. END_MESSAGE 2 MESSAGE 3 ..... A few seconds later, the light goes on again. END_MESSAGE 3 MESSAGE 4 There is a satisfactory clank from under your feet. The stick returns to its start position. Everything loose rattles. END_MESSAGE 4 MESSAGE 5 H I S S ! ..... C R E A K ! .... The locomotive rocks gently. END_MESSAGE 5 MESSAGE 6 C R E A K ! .... H I S S ! ..... The locomotive becomes very still. END_MESSAGE 6 MESSAGE 7 R O A R ! .. C L A N G ! .... The locomotive lurches backwards into the buffers. END_MESSAGE 7 MESSAGE 8 R O A R !.... The cab fills with steam. END_MESSAGE 8 MESSAGE 9 The bear's mother isn't afraid of the dark. END_MESSAGE 9 MESSAGE 10 There seems to be a bear moving around in the bear lair. END_MESSAGE 10 MESSAGE 11 I'm certain there's an even bigger bear in the bear lair now. END_MESSAGE 11 MESSAGE 12 $NOUN$ isn't anywhere to be seen. END_MESSAGE 12 MESSAGE 13 BO : O wise and brave Master, my miserable opinion is that END_MESSAGE 13 MESSAGE 14 BO : Please, place no credence on my personal opinion that END_MESSAGE 14 MESSAGE 15 BO : My stupefyingly ill-considered feeling is as follows: END_MESSAGE 15 MESSAGE 16 BO : If your eminence is prepared to take the advice of one who has but recently crawled from under a heavy stone, END_MESSAGE 16 MESSAGE 17 BO : I grovel at your feet, Highness. I have heard them say END_MESSAGE 17 MESSAGE 18 Wizard Prang is a wise but insubstantial figure. END_MESSAGE 18 MESSAGE 19 Sir Ramic, you are wasting your time, and mine, addressing an inanimate object like the $NOUN$. END_MESSAGE 19 MESSAGE 20 I am helping you as much as I can, thankless task though it is. Talk to the owl, by all means, but leave the rest alone. END_MESSAGE 20 MESSAGE 21 It's hardly Mozart, is it? END_MESSAGE 21 MESSAGE 22 Pipe down, for pity's sake. END_MESSAGE 22 MESSAGE 23 Final Score:- Bach 22 : Sir Ramic Hobbs 0. END_MESSAGE 23 MESSAGE 24 Stop messing about, Hobbs! END_MESSAGE 24 MESSAGE 25 Oh, for God's sake, can we get on with it, please! END_MESSAGE 25 MESSAGE 26 When are you going to stop playing the fool, Sir Ramic? END_MESSAGE 26 MESSAGE 27 The doormat rises about an inch above the floor, trembles for a moment, and then disappears with a faint WHOOSH. END_MESSAGE 27 MESSAGE 28 only an ignoramus like myself would need to ask about that. END_MESSAGE 28 MESSAGE 29 You'll have to get it first. END_MESSAGE 29 MESSAGE 30 Find it yourself, you lazy devil. END_MESSAGE 30 MESSAGE 31 Not practical, right now, Sir Ramic. You don't look well. END_MESSAGE 31 MESSAGE 32 What are you going to use? Just say USE OWL, or whatever. END_MESSAGE 32 MESSAGE 33 You can't do that from the mat, I'm afraid. END_MESSAGE 33 MESSAGE 34 OK. Now you're no longer on the mat. END_MESSAGE 34 MESSAGE 35 Now where the hell did you leave that flute? END_MESSAGE 35 MESSAGE 36 The scenery becomes a blur (well, MORE of a blur, really) as the mat transports you at top speed. END_MESSAGE 36 MESSAGE 37 The cat ignores the $NOUN$, but licks its lips in anticipation. END_MESSAGE 37 MESSAGE 38 END_MESSAGE 38 MESSAGE 39 Will you NEVER learn? A huge snake has sprung out of the basket. It seems rather hostile. END_MESSAGE 39 MESSAGE 40 a snake may often be charmed..... or distracted by a person of simian appearance. END_MESSAGE 40 MESSAGE 41 You seem to have become short of breath. END_MESSAGE 41 MESSAGE 42 It has slid through the metal bars in the floor and disappeared. We didn't hear it hit bottom, did we? END_MESSAGE 42 MESSAGE 44 Something really wierd happens... The little cell shakes a little, then the floor of the tunnel to the West starts to rise, and closes the West entrance with a metal plate. Simultaneously, a gap appears at the base of the East wall, which gradually enlarges to show a tunnel leading East. At the base of the West wall, a catflap has appeared. There's probably an easier way to describe it, actually. END_MESSAGE 44 MESSAGE 45 I think you're ready for the easy explanation now. The elevator rises. The Eastern exit is closed, the Western is revealed. END_MESSAGE 45 MESSAGE 46 Going down... END_MESSAGE 46 MESSAGE 47 Going up.. END_MESSAGE 47 MESSAGE 48 Snap! The catflap has closed suddenly, and the fright has loosened your grip. The little bent wire has fallen through the bars in the floor. BUTTERFINGERS! END_MESSAGE 48 MESSAGE 49 It won't fit. END_MESSAGE 49 MESSAGE 50 Will you, for God's sake, take this seriously, Sir Ramic. Even if your out-of-condition body could take the strain, it would be very stupid to jump at this stage. END_MESSAGE 50 MESSAGE 51 The snake appears to be losing interest in you. I'm not surprised. It slithers away, pursued by Sir Fritz Tenshun. END_MESSAGE 51 MESSAGE 52 an elevator is a device for transporting wingless ones up and down, by manipulating the floor in a vertical direction. There is no cause for alarm, Oh Wise One, as they very seldom malfunction. END_MESSAGE 52 MESSAGE 53 Just as you fumble the last turn of the knot, the rope slithers off the ring, and falls away. BUTTERFINGERS, thou art well named! END_MESSAGE 53 MESSAGE 54 Careful with that rope! Oh dear. It's now slithered away across the cliff face. It's still attached at the top. END_MESSAGE 54 MESSAGE 55 That was smart. The rope is now lying in a heap, about 150 feet below. For you, Sir Ramic, the quest is over. END_MESSAGE 55 MESSAGE 56 I wouldn't trust you with anything sharp enough to cut with, Sir Ramic, so I've removed them from the game. END_MESSAGE 56 MESSAGE 57 The trapdoor seems immensely solid. I don't think you've unlocked it yet. Pushing it causes a click inside. END_MESSAGE 57 MESSAGE 58 Click.. END_MESSAGE 58 MESSAGE 59 You pressed too hard! The whole trapdoor swings wide, comes off its hinges, and delivers a sound blow to your helmet, as it crashes to the floor of the cave below. Suddenly, it has become very dark. END_MESSAGE 59 MESSAGE 60 All the fastenings are round the back. You can't take anything off! END_MESSAGE 60 MESSAGE 61 If you think you can wear anything on top of a suit of armour and helmet, you must be worse than I thought! END_MESSAGE 61 MESSAGE 62 You really ought to get some holes punched in that visor. It would help with ventilation, too. END_MESSAGE 62 MESSAGE 63 HI S S SS S S S S The ladder deflates with you on it. END_MESSAGE 63 MESSAGE 64 Whoops! END_MESSAGE 64 MESSAGE 65 Sir Fritz: Get in the queue, Tinribs! END_MESSAGE 65 MESSAGE 66 Sir Fritz: Leave my pet alone, Sir Ramic! END_MESSAGE 66 MESSAGE 67 Sir Fritz: Sit down and wait, like everyone else!" END_MESSAGE 67 MESSAGE 68 With a rather undignified abseiling action, you seem to have reached the end of the rope. Since you seem reluctant to let go, I'll just untie it at the top. ... that's done it. END_MESSAGE 68 MESSAGE 69 a boat is a device for transporting wingless ones across seriously wet, as opposed to merely damp, places. Such wet areas often have ideas about direction of travel which conflict with the ideas of the passenger. For this reason, it is wise to provide oneself with a means of propulsion before embarking, and I'm certain that your Excellency will already have obtained such an item. END_MESSAGE 69 MESSAGE 70 May I dispel, here and now, any hint that the rope twitched or stiffened in any way as a result of your little tune. END_MESSAGE 70 MESSAGE 71 No response to your offer. What do you expect? END_MESSAGE 71 MESSAGE 72 You're going to find it difficult to give away, I'm afraid... END_MESSAGE 72 MESSAGE 73 No luck with that rather feeble ploy.. END_MESSAGE 73 MESSAGE 74 The guard is delighted. He grabs the sword, does a few experimental flourishes with it, and dashes off. END_MESSAGE 74 MESSAGE 75 There are certain difficulties associated with that course of action. Are you sure all the necessary items are present? END_MESSAGE 75 MESSAGE 76 I can't hear a word you're mumbling! END_MESSAGE 76 MESSAGE 77 Peace, Perfect Peace - - END_MESSAGE 77 MESSAGE 78 Why did you do that? I can't hear myself think. What do you mean YOU can't hear me think either? END_MESSAGE 78 MESSAGE 79 The door crashes open, tears from its hinges, and disappears. You hear a distant splash. Vandal. END_MESSAGE 79 MESSAGE 80 There's a trick to this. Just keep trying. END_MESSAGE 80 MESSAGE 81 The door appears to be wearing an evil grin. Try something else. END_MESSAGE 81 MESSAGE 82 You're not going to be beaten by a ruddy door after all this effort, are you? END_MESSAGE 82 MESSAGE 83 a door is a piece of wood in a hole in a wall.... Hell, I've forgotten what I was going to tell you. What did you ask? There's something weird about this place. END_MESSAGE 83 MESSAGE 84 a ladder is a device to enable wingless ones to ascend and descend without breaking their valuable necks. These pneumatic jobs are a mystery to me, though. There are some of these cartridges kicking around in the Grand Central Cavern, as I'm sure your eminence already knows. END_MESSAGE 84 MESSAGE 85 You've stood still so long that the leg joints of your armour have frozen stiff. END_MESSAGE 85 MESSAGE 86 They scuttle away, making rude gestures with their antennae. END_MESSAGE 86 MESSAGE 87 Are you still standing there?..... Here, let me just warm you up by showing you these pretty pictures in the book... There, now, that's better, isn't it? END_MESSAGE 87 MESSAGE 88 Gosh, you ARE patient. I've brought you some reading matter. END_MESSAGE 88 MESSAGE 89 a wire coathanger is the adult form of the safety pin. If one leaves a few coathangers in a drawer, one will find them to be joined by a number of coathanger larvae, ie the common safety pin. These safety pins will develop into fully grown wire coathangers at the moment that a safety pin is required. Similarly, once a pair of wire coathangers have mated, they will disappear, leaving only a musty smell when their drawer is opened in search of a wire coathanger. Wire coathangers will not mate if hung in a wardrobe, and may become vicious. Many develop sharp edges or sag in a treacherous fashion when used. END_MESSAGE 89 MESSAGE 90 ..... well, what can this miserable owl add? They are DELICIOUS! Begging your pardon, of course, my Lord. END_MESSAGE 90 MESSAGE 91 'salmonella-free' means there is no charge for the salmonella. END_MESSAGE 91 MESSAGE 92 W H O O S H H The ladder inflates. It now stretches upwards. END_MESSAGE 92 MESSAGE 93 W H O O S H H H !!!!! POP. Whimper... C L A N K. You FOOL! You were holding it when you closed the cover! The ladder deployed sideways, caught a sharp projection, and self-destructed. END_MESSAGE 93 MESSAGE 94 The eternal flame goes out without warning. Isn't that just the kind of thing you'd expect? This quest is a bummer, I tell you. END_MESSAGE 94 MESSAGE 95 Now you're back in the Hall, the eternal flame re-kindles just as mysteriously as it earlier went out. How DO they DO that? Beats the hell outa me. END_MESSAGE 95 MESSAGE 96 "Now, Sir. You know the rules about cartridges as well as I do." END_MESSAGE 96 MESSAGE 97 "$OBJECT$! $OBJECT$! Don't bore me with THAT subject!" END_MESSAGE 97 MESSAGE 98 this trouser ferret is but a shadow of its former self. It is not sleeping, pining for the peat bogs, or observing a two-minute silence. Its immortal soul has long ago left to take its place in the great Trouser Leg in the sky. It is my considered opinion, indeed, that its mortal remains have been stuffed. END_MESSAGE 98 MESSAGE 99 "Now you're talking, Sir. Here's a new one to replace it." The storeman gives you a full cartridge and pops the used one in a nearby crate. END_MESSAGE 99 MESSAGE 100 "That looks uncommonly like bribery, Sir." END_MESSAGE 100 MESSAGE 101 The ferret regards you with dumb insolence. END_MESSAGE 101 MESSAGE 102 The ferret maintains a sullen silence. END_MESSAGE 102 MESSAGE 103 The ferret gazes wordlessly at a point behind your left shoulder. END_MESSAGE 103 MESSAGE 104 Harvey growls, and crouches, ready to spring. END_MESSAGE 104 MESSAGE 105 Harvey barks in a menacing fashion, and circles you. END_MESSAGE 105 MESSAGE 106 Harvey drools with anticipation. It appears he likes people like you, especially for his lunch. END_MESSAGE 106 MESSAGE 107 He's not about to let you leave. END_MESSAGE 107 MESSAGE 108 Harvey looks pleased and licks your hand. END_MESSAGE 108 MESSAGE 109 Harvey wags his stumpy tail. END_MESSAGE 109 MESSAGE 110 $OBJECT$ is not here. END_MESSAGE 110 MESSAGE 111 You haven't got the $NOUN$. END_MESSAGE 111 MESSAGE 112 $OBJECT$ doesn't seem interested. END_MESSAGE 112 MESSAGE 113 Harvey is delighted. He rushes off in pursuit, and returns, panting, with the bone, which he drops at your feet. END_MESSAGE 113 MESSAGE 114 This is just what Harvey's been waiting for. He gallops away in hot pursuit, and fetches the bone back. END_MESSAGE 114 MESSAGE 115 You've made Harvey's day. He'll fetch the bone every time you throw it. END_MESSAGE 115 MESSAGE 116 You're in no position to issue instructions, Sir Ramic. END_MESSAGE 116 MESSAGE 117 Harvey snarls. He's very particular what you do with that bone. END_MESSAGE 117 MESSAGE 118 As you pick up the bone, Harvey looks expectant, but when nothing happens, he looks puzzled, snatches the bone back and drops it. END_MESSAGE 118 MESSAGE 119 THAT WAS A MISTAKE! Harvey thinks you want to play, so he picks you up by one leg and shakes you a little. You can't take much of this game. END_MESSAGE 119 MESSAGE 120 I think you've seen the last of that mat, my friend. END_MESSAGE 120 MESSAGE 121 ZZZZZAAAAAAPPPPP! Wow! Your poor aching head! END_MESSAGE 121 MESSAGE 122 This mat is obviously a sports model! What a speed! END_MESSAGE 122 MESSAGE 123 WHEEEE! Play it again, Sir Ram! I want another magical ride! END_MESSAGE 123 MESSAGE 124 The door doesn't budge. END_MESSAGE 124 MESSAGE 125 There must be a trick to this. Keep trying. END_MESSAGE 125 MESSAGE 126 The door slides easily across. END_MESSAGE 126 MESSAGE 127 his customary boldness evaporates at the arrival of long wriggly creatures, although I bow to your Magnificence's omniscience in all such matters. END_MESSAGE 127 MESSAGE 128 Sherpas are mountain-ascending by descent. END_MESSAGE 128 MESSAGE 129 However, at the sight of the snake, the Abdominal Snowman turns a pale shade of green, makes high-pitched gibbering noises, and runs in an undignified fashion into the mist. The snake follows with every appearance of enthusiasm, while Sir Fritz, after a glare at you, pulls a portable snow suit from his pocket, dons it, and stalks off in pursuit. END_MESSAGE 129 MESSAGE 130 Sir Fritz: Oh my God, be careful of the basket! END_MESSAGE 130 MESSAGE 131 Sir Fritz: I'm so worried about the basket! END_MESSAGE 131 MESSAGE 132 Sir Fritz: I only left the basket for a moment! END_MESSAGE 132 MESSAGE 133 Sir Fritz: That basket is MY property! END_MESSAGE 133 MESSAGE 134 You untie the sherpa. He seems deeply grateful, and bounds off over the ice, leaving the string in a ball on the snow. END_MESSAGE 134 MESSAGE 135 Sir Fritz: Just put it down, Sir Ramic. END_MESSAGE 135 MESSAGE 136 You'll need to be in a workshop for that. END_MESSAGE 136 MESSAGE 137 You haven't got the magazine with the plans in it. END_MESSAGE 137 MESSAGE 138 There's no silk here! END_MESSAGE 138 MESSAGE 139 I can't see the bamboo you're going to need. END_MESSAGE 139 MESSAGE 140 String! Where's the string? END_MESSAGE 140 MESSAGE 141 You haven't got a wire coathanger here. I KNOW it isn't in the plans, but you ALWAYS need a wire coathanger! END_MESSAGE 141 MESSAGE 142 Insert tab A in slot B. Bend along line CD. Cut along dotted line. Hmm... . . Time passes... . . .. and pull tab Z! Wow! A Hang Glider! * There's a footnote in the magazine that says you ought to drop any bat, chalk, flute, paint, peg or magazine you may have. END_MESSAGE 142 MESSAGE 143 You have disassembled the glider into its component parts. END_MESSAGE 143 MESSAGE 144 It is remarkable that someone of your decrepitude can lumber into motion in this fashion, but off you go, limpimg towards the cliff edge.... and over. Wheee!! This is more fun than the magic doormat! Far below, Harvey, clutching his bone, gallops down the steep cliff path, swims across the River Alf, and stands panting on the road, waiting for you. You arrival is less than elegant, and very unkind to an innocent dog you have chosen as the target for your forced landing. END_MESSAGE 144 MESSAGE 145 Limp, limp, hobble, hobble, trip, whizz. Thump. You wake, covered in sand, with Harvey trying to lick your face. END_MESSAGE 145 MESSAGE 146 It is advisable to carry a glider of some kind if you want to fly. END_MESSAGE 146 MESSAGE 147 a glider is an instrument of suicide much favoured by the exhibitionist. END_MESSAGE 147 MESSAGE 148 Sorry. The gap is too small to squeeze through with that hang glider. You'll have to find another way out of the caverns. END_MESSAGE 148 MESSAGE 149 The limitations of your capabilities are such that you can only tie string. You cannot tie string to just anything, either. I suggest you restrict your Boy Scout activities to the feasible. END_MESSAGE 149 MESSAGE 150 Crapulous peers should refrain from the impossible, in my opinion. END_MESSAGE 150 MESSAGE 151 Insobriety is no excuse for asininity. END_MESSAGE 151 MESSAGE 152 You try tying the string to the $OBJECT$ for a while, but it's no good. END_MESSAGE 152 MESSAGE 153 You might find that easier if the string were here! END_MESSAGE 153 MESSAGE 154 Done. The string is tied to the rope. Are you pursuing some idea? END_MESSAGE 154 MESSAGE 155 It's already tied to the $OBJECT$. END_MESSAGE 155 MESSAGE 156 It's untied. END_MESSAGE 156 MESSAGE 157 Done. The string is tied to the bone. This is interesting. END_MESSAGE 157 MESSAGE 158 Into bondage, are we..? Think shame of yourself, Sir Ramic. END_MESSAGE 158 MESSAGE 159 It doesn't work. Tying string to the $OBJECT$ isn't going to help the quest, unless you mean to BUILD the GLIDER, in which case, just say so. END_MESSAGE 159 MESSAGE 160 Harvey's lip curls, and he utters a growl which BO tells me means something like: "Are you feeling lucky.... Punk..?" or "Go on... Make my day.." END_MESSAGE 160 MESSAGE 161 You cracked it at last. The bone, in its flight, passed over the drawbridge latch, pulling the string. Harvey's retrieve has pulled the rope over too, and you now have both ends of the rope. END_MESSAGE 161 MESSAGE 162 There is an ominous click, then the rope recoils back towards you. With a ponderous determination, the drawbridge lowers itself. The castle gate now lies open to the North. END_MESSAGE 162 MESSAGE 163 I can hear your little grey cells clicking together. You're on the right track, but the string is too short, and anyway it wouldn't be strong enough to pull the latch. END_MESSAGE 163 MESSAGE 164 Good idea. The first, I think, in some while. However, the rope is too heavy to throw the whole way. Is there something else you can throw? END_MESSAGE 164 MESSAGE 165 Hmm.. You need something to weight the end of the string. END_MESSAGE 165 MESSAGE 166 Something tells me that his condition isn't terminal. I should leave him alone if I were you. END_MESSAGE 166 MESSAGE 167 He grunts and opens his eyes suddenly. Luckily, they close again! END_MESSAGE 167 MESSAGE 168 H.L.Gorilla: Oh, for the love of Pete, can't you see I'm dying? END_MESSAGE 168 MESSAGE 169 The cat eyes Harvey carefully, and crouches, ready to spring. END_MESSAGE 169 MESSAGE 170 The cat decides that discretion is the better part of valour and hurtles off. Harvey pursues, but soon forgets what he is doing, and returns, looking pleased with himself. END_MESSAGE 170 MESSAGE 171 Excellent net, this. You've caught a huge fish! END_MESSAGE 171 MESSAGE 172 Keep trying till you catch a fish! END_MESSAGE 172 MESSAGE 173 Your net catches something that looks like a section of fence. You throw it back in. END_MESSAGE 173 MESSAGE 174 Your net catches something that looks like a piece of a rowing boat. You throw it back in. END_MESSAGE 174 MESSAGE 175 The cat eats the fish with relish, but still looks hungry. END_MESSAGE 175 MESSAGE 176 one has frequently seen better turned legs on a sideboard, her voice is clearly audible over a circular saw, but she is acutely sensitive on the subject of eating in bed. END_MESSAGE 176 MESSAGE 177 .......aaaaargh! END_MESSAGE 177 MESSAGE 178 The gorilla grumbles restlessly in his sleep, and his huge paw grips convulsively on a banana skin. END_MESSAGE 178 MESSAGE 179 Well, it was worth a try. But no dice, old chap. Sorry. END_MESSAGE 179 MESSAGE 180 Yecch... Is that the cave or is it you? END_MESSAGE 180 MESSAGE 181 I smell nothing unusual, other than your socks. END_MESSAGE 181 MESSAGE 182 this quest is characterised by a total lack of importance. Like me, and unlike you, the items and characters populating the halls of this world are only there because they have to be, and would much rather be left to their fates. END_MESSAGE 182 MESSAGE 183 this is an implement of wood, designed to strike a sphere of leather. Much greater minds than mine, O Prince, have decreed that it be so, and who are we to question them. In short, Sire, I haven't a clue. END_MESSAGE 183 MESSAGE 184 What you have suggested is either pointless, or can be expressed differently. $VERB$ something else, perhaps. END_MESSAGE 184 MESSAGE 185 You'd need the $NOUN$ for that and you haven't got it. END_MESSAGE 185 MESSAGE 186 Sorry, but rope-climbing just isn't possible for you, Sir Ramic. You could SLIDE DOWN a rope, but that's about it. END_MESSAGE 186 MESSAGE 187 Yes, I see. You are scribbling on a nearby rock. END_MESSAGE 187 MESSAGE 188 Yes, I see. You are daubing a nearby rock. END_MESSAGE 188 MESSAGE 189 Don't you dare, Sir Ramic. You've got enough trouble. END_MESSAGE 189 MESSAGE 190 Just leave that $ADJECTIVE$ $NOUN$ alone. I'll deal with it. END_MESSAGE 190 MESSAGE 191 No. You've got it wrong. YOU do the leading. WE do the following. END_MESSAGE 191 MESSAGE 192 Everything here is non-flammable, thank goodness. END_MESSAGE 192 MESSAGE 193 Will you for God's sake leave these eagles alone! END_MESSAGE 193 MESSAGE 194 It's not so simple. You're on the wrong track. END_MESSAGE 194 MESSAGE 195 You're blundering around in the dark. You'll have to keep trying. END_MESSAGE 195 MESSAGE 196 It's too dark to do anything like that. Where's the light? END_MESSAGE 196 MESSAGE 197 Can't you remember how you opened it? END_MESSAGE 197 MESSAGE 198 You don't want a nasty bite, do you? END_MESSAGE 198 MESSAGE 199 Less of the intimate stuff, if you don't mind. END_MESSAGE 199 MESSAGE 200 Hands off! Just what do you think you are doing? END_MESSAGE 200 MESSAGE 201 What do you think this is? A children's zoo? END_MESSAGE 201 MESSAGE 202 Still no sign of a thaw... You are rooted to the spot. END_MESSAGE 202 MESSAGE 203 Why not ask BO about the coathanger while you're stuck here? END_MESSAGE 203 MESSAGE 204 If you are frozen here much longer, you are going to have to ask for help. Again and again. END_MESSAGE 204 ə
