Gymnasium at St. Catherine's (in the wheelchair)
St. Catherine's has an excellent gymnasium for its female students,
but of course it's of little use to you. The only reason you're here
is because your friend Amy practically begged you to come with her.

You can see some female gymnasts here.
human
About yourself
gpt
You're a girl in a wheelchair feeling sorry for herself. So what else is new?
human
You look at what you're carrying with you
gpt
You are carrying:
a Toys R Us bag (which is closed)
an angel pendant (being worn)
human
You examine the pendant
gpt
It's a white angel pendant made of alabaster. At least, you think it's alabaster. You're not sure where you got it from, come to think of it. It's pretty, though, and you've always worn it.
human
You remove the pendant
gpt
You try to remove the angel... uhhh...

Your head hurts. You wanted to do something, but what?
human
You open the bag
gpt
You open the Toys R Us bag, revealing four lead-painted metal bits (a jagged white bit, a long red hooked bit, a shiny triangular bit and a small green circular bit).
human
You look at the gymnasts
gpt
There's several women here, including Amy, out practicing for a professional gymnastic competition in Hamburg next Spring. Looking at them fills your mind with envy and self-pity. You cannot join them,
and you never will. Such emotions, you upbraid yourself, only illustrate the darkness intrinsic to the human soul. You turn away.
human
You examine amy
gpt
Look at her. She's so graceful on the parallel bars. You could never
do that. You can't see why she insisted you accompany her here.

Well, okay. It was the decent thing to do. But she's obviously over
her performance anxiety, and she's not paying any attention to you. She's too busy working with the rest of the girls.
human
You look at the red
gpt
Kinda like a pole, with a hook at the end.
human
You examine the white
gpt
(the angel pendant)
It's a white angel pendant made of alabaster. At least, you think it's alabaster. You're not sure where you got it from, come to think of it. It's pretty, though, and you've always worn it.
human
You examine the jagged white
gpt
Ick. Looks dangerous. Someone could cut themselves with that.
human
You examine triangular
gpt
"Is this a dagger I see before me?" Naaah.
human
You look at the green
gpt
This bit's rather like a coin. Except it's painted green and doesn't have a queen on it, or E Pluribus Uranium, or whatever coins are supposed to have on them.
human
You leave
gpt
You'll have to say which compass direction to go in.
human
You get up
gpt
No. Not here. What would be the point?
human
You examine the wheelchair
gpt
Your wheelchair. You hate it. But it takes you where you need to go,
so you're stuck with it.
human
Pray
gpt
You're not Catholic, or even Christian. You'd hardly know what to say.
human
You examine the bag
gpt
Amy asked you to hold onto her bag for her. What she needed it for,
you can't imagine. Amy always was a little weird. Maybe that's why she's your friend. When you're around, she probably seems almost
normal by comparison.
human
You jump
gpt
You jump on the spot, fruitlessly.
human
You drop the bag
gpt
Dropped.
human
You examine amy
gpt
Look at her. She's so graceful on the parallel bars. You could never
do that. You can't see why she insisted you accompany her here.

Well, okay. It was the decent thing to do. But she's obviously over
her performance anxiety, and she's not paying any attention to you. She's too busy working with the rest of the girls.
human
You take the bag
gpt
Taken.
human
About yourself
gpt
You're a girl in a wheelchair feeling sorry for herself. So what else is new?
human
You look  in the bag
gpt
In the Toys R Us bag are four lead-painted metal bits (a jagged white bit, a long red hooked bit, a shiny triangular bit and a small green circular bit).
human
You examine the chair
gpt
Your wheelchair. You hate it. But it takes you where you need to go,
so you're stuck with it.
human
You cut the angel with jagged
gpt
(first taking the jagged white bit)
Cutting that up would achieve little.
human
You cut yourself with the jagged
gpt
Cutting you up would achieve little.

but of course it's of little use to you. The only reason you're here
is because your friend Amy practically begged you to come with her.

You can see some female gymnasts here.
human
Go east
gpt
First Floor Hallway (North End) (in the wheelchair)
The hallway outside the gym is nothing special. Some trophies. The Christian cross. An aquarium of fish. The hallway continues south, the gym is west, the chapel east, and the exit to the street is to the north.
human
You examine the fish
gpt
You watch the fish swim about for awhile, and you feel the darkness in your soul ebb. These simple fish comfort you. Why?
human
Go east
gpt
You peek into the chapel, but the nuns are preparing for some sort of ceremony. A funeral, maybe. Or perhaps just a normal prayer service. You don't know why you're so gloomy today.
human
You go to the north
gpt
No. You can't leave without Amy. You promised.
human
Go south
gpt
First Floor Hallway (South End) (in the wheelchair)
The south end of the hallway is even less interesting than the north end, except for a sewer grating in the floor.

You can see a sewer grating here.
human
You examine the grating
gpt
A sewer grating in the floor. You hear something down there, something alive? Something or someone trapped? The grating is closed.
human
You look in the bag
gpt
In the Toys R Us bag are three lead-painted metal bits (a long red hooked bit, a shiny triangular bit and a small green circular bit).
human
You take the red
gpt
Taken.
human
You open the grating
gpt
Using the long hooked bit, you manage to pry open the grating.
human
You get up
gpt
You get out of the wheelchair.

First Floor Hallway (South End)
The south end of the hallway is even less interesting than the north end, except for a sewer grating in the floor.

You can see a wheelchair (which is empty) and a sewer grating here.
human
Go downward
gpt
Heedless of the risk, you push yourself into the hole, and fall...

You're in the sewer. It's dark and gloomy and smelly. But it's also cool and wet, which you don't mind so much. The hole you fell through is high above you, and the sewer extends east.
human
Go east
gpt
You crawl, fall, further down the sewer.

The water is deeper here; you can swim. But an alligator blocks
further passage east.

You can see an alligator here.
human
You look at the alligator
gpt
The alligator seems a friendly sort. It grins at you with sharp, sharp teeth. You feel you can trust it. Maybe even love it. But it blocks your way east.
human
You hug the alligator
gpt
You give the alligator a kiss, and he snaps at you!!

No! At your angel pendant! He crushes it into powder and...

A miracle! Your broken legs become a fish's tail, and you... you are a mermaid! How? How did this happen? Who put this curse on you? And oh! Your father and mother? How long have they missed you and thought you dead?
human
Look around
gpt
The water is deeper here; you can swim. But an alligator blocks
further passage east.

You can see an alligator here.
human
Go east
gpt
You swim past the alligator joyfully, and swim, swim, SWIM out through the sewers, out of mankind's waterways in into the ocean...

*    *   *

You swim to an underwater palace, where you find your father, the Merfolk King. He looks at you, unbelieving his eyes, then rushes to embrace you. When the initial shock has worn off, he takes a more critical look at you and says, "Where hast thou been, my child? Thy gills are as unclean as a lobster's arse." You laugh, and hug him again.
