Some nights, when people are fast asleep, teddy bears are just waking up.

And some nights, those teddy bears make mischief.

And some nights, things somehow turn out for the best...

An Interactive Children's Story

Bedroom (on the big bed)
Moonlight plays through the window, softly illuminating the bedroom, full of comfortable memories.

To the west is the cupboard where you usually live, and the doorway to the northwest leads to the rest of the house.

David, your owner, lies next to you on the bed, in a deep sleep.

First time players may wish to try HELP.

That was a rhetorical question.
human
You hit David
gpt
David continues to sleep, totally oblivious.
human
Shout
gpt
Whom do you want to shout to?
human
You examine david
gpt
David is handsome, debonair, forgetful and fast asleep. He also wrote this description.
human
About yourself
gpt
Quite the most beautiful furry brown teddy bear.
human
You hug david
gpt
A touching gesture, although your owner remains asleep and unaware.
human
Waylay david
gpt
(jumping on then attacking David)

Jump on: What a curious idea.

Attack: David continues to sleep, totally oblivious.
human
You describe your surroundings
gpt
Moonlight plays through the window, softly illuminating the bedroom, full of comfortable memories.

To the west is the cupboard where you usually live, and the doorway to the northwest leads to the rest of the house.

A big bed fills up most of the room.

David lies on the bed, very much asleep.
human
You enter the bed
gpt
You struggle, but clamber up successfully.
human
Sleep
gpt
You settle down in the warm fabric and fall asleep. In time, morning comes. The day of your owner's big plan to take you along to the Teddy Bear Picnic! Unfortunately, the picnic requires some kind of reply card for entry, and David can't find it anywhere. Ah well, maybe next year.
human
You open the cupboard
gpt
The cupboard is out of reach.
human
You get down
gpt
The floor is out of reach.
human
You get off
gpt
You tumble down, but being a soft bear, that's ok.
human
You open the cupboard
gpt
That's already open.
human
You go to the west
gpt
When you aren't lying on the bed, you usually stay in here, snug and safe with your friends atop the warm pile of clothes.

The cupboard opens eastward to the bedroom.

On the pile of clothes you can see your good friends Matt and Terry Moose.

Your warm winter jacket is here, which may be just as well, it's a little chilly.
human
You look at Matt
gpt
A beautiful plush toy moose, in a kneeling pose, and a loyal (if silent) friend.
human
You look at Terry
gpt
A beautiful plush toy moose, in a standing pose, and a loyal (if silent) friend.
human
You take jacket
gpt
Taken.
human
You wear it
gpt
Just the thing for a cold night.

human
Go northwest
gpt
This is the southern end of a plain carpeted hallway, which continues to the north.

To the east is the computer room and to the southeast the bedroom. A bathroom (in the English sense) lies to the southwest, and one in the American sense to the south.

A yellow plastic ball, known as a favourite toy of the family cat, has been left here.
human
You look at the ball
gpt
A spherical yellow plastic cage, with a shiny bell inside.
human
Shake ball
gpt
(first taking the yellow ball)
The bell tinkles surprisingly loudly.
human
You look at what you're carrying with you
gpt
You are carrying:
a yellow ball
your green jacket (being worn)
your night shirt (being worn)
human
Go east
gpt
The computer room is neat but not often used. One day a new computer will arrive here, and surely then your owner will regain his enthusiasm. For now he keeps mumbling about bank accounts and expensive machines and repair bills.

To the west lies the south end of the hall.

A tall glass table stands here, home to your owner's old hobby computer. Next to the computer you can make out a blue disk through the thick glass.

You can also see an ergonomic chair here.
human
You look at the disk
gpt
You will have to get closer to the blue disk to see in detail.
human
You climb on the chair
gpt
You struggle, but clamber up successfully.
human
You climb on the table
gpt
You can't quite reach high enough to clamber up.

You can't quite reach high enough to clamber up.
human
You examine the chair
gpt
A strange looking padded chair on casters, designed for people to kneel on. This is supposed to be comfortable for them.
human
Go downwards
gpt
You tumble down, but being a soft bear, that's ok.
human
You go to the west
gpt
This is the southern end of a plain carpeted hallway, which continues to the north.

To the east is the computer room and to the southeast the bedroom. A bathroom (in the English sense) lies to the southwest, and one in the American sense to the south.
human
You go southwest
gpt
The bathroom has recently been tiled in glaring white. A doorway to the northeast leads to the rest of the house.

Along the west wall is a large tub, which your owner apparently enjoys swimming in.

To the south is the bathroom sink, the next subject of renovation, with a new copper pipe installed, and a storage drawer below.
human
You examine the sink
gpt
In actual fact, the one thing this unit presently lacks is a sink. But it does have a sparkling new pipe and a working drawer.
human
You examine the drawer
gpt
A nicely laminated white drawer, presently shut.
human
You open it
gpt
The drawer wobbles around, and seems quite loose as you pull it open, revealing a yoyo and a ukelele.
human
You get all from the drawer
gpt
yoyo: Removed.
ukelele: Removed.
human
You play ukelele
gpt
You strum a few chords, unconvincingly. Which isn't surprising, considering your soft toy paws.
human
You examine yoyo
gpt
A `Moose' brand glow in the dark yoyo, missing its string.
human
You look at the bath
gpt
A large white tub, still with quite a bit of water from the last time your owner went swimming.
human
You enter the tub
gpt
But then you might get your fur wet.
human
You go northeast
gpt
This is the southern end of a plain carpeted hallway, which continues to the north.

To the east is the computer room and to the southeast the bedroom. A bathroom (in the English sense) lies to the southwest, and one in the American sense to the south.
human
Go north
gpt
A small knot of doors leading every which way, this end of the hall can be a little confusing for small bears such as yourself.

Let's try to make it easy: northwest to the living room, north to the study, east to the front entrance, and south to the rest of the hall.
human
Go east
gpt
The front entrance is unremarkable, but for the charming antique clock hanging on the south wall.

A door to the east leads outside, and the hall lies to the west.
human
Go east
gpt
The door is locked. Besides, it's cold and dangerous outside at night.
human
You examine the clock
gpt
This is a timeless tale.
human
You go northwest
gpt
The local centre for entertainment and laziness, the living room is permanent home to a very comfortable sofa and a television set. Both of these are much in use, usually at the same time.

From here you can go south to the kitchen, southeast to the hall, or east to the study.

Holly the calico cat is here, fast asleep on the comfortable sofa.
human
You enter the sofa
gpt
You struggle, but clamber up successfully.
human
You examine the cat
gpt
Holly sleeps soundly, softly purring.
human
You hug Holly
gpt
Holly purrs contendedly, and sleeps a little sounder.
human
You throw the ball at the cat
gpt
Holly awakes with a start, eyes and ears alert, and bats the ball away.
human
You examine the cat
gpt
Holly's eyes dart about, looking for a toy to chase.

Holly playfully bites you.
human
You throw the ball at the cat
gpt
(first taking the yellow ball)
The yellow ball is out of reach.

Holly bats at you.
human
You check your inventory
gpt
You are carrying:
a ukelele
a yoyo
your green jacket (being worn)
your night shirt (being worn)

Holly playfully bites you.
human
You give yoyo to Holly
gpt
Holly sniffs the yoyo suspiciously.
human
Go downwards
gpt
You tumble down, but being a soft bear, that's ok.

Holly leaps down from the comfortable sofa.
human
Go south
gpt
The kitchen manages to remain untidy, despite the fact that your owner tends to prefer home delivered pizza to anything else.

A door to the south leads outside, and one to the north leads to the living room.

Along one wall stands a high bench, featuring a sink full of dirty dishes, next to which you can see a telephone and an answering machine, if you step back and crane your neck a little.

An insulated wire cord emerges from a hole at the bottom of the bench, leading to a socket in the wall.

A picnic basket has been left here, containing a baguette.
human
You examine basket
gpt
A wicker picnic hamper (David picked it up from a toyshop about two years ago), in which you can see a baguette.
human
You examine the baguette
gpt
A long, thin loaf of French bread.
human
You eat it
gpt
(first taking the baguette)
Perhaps it's best to save the baguette for later.
human
Inventory
gpt
You are carrying:
a baguette
a ukelele
a yoyo
your green jacket (being worn)
your night shirt (being worn)
human
You examine wire
gpt
The cord is thin, white and functional, and runs from a hole at the bottom of the bench to a socket in the wall.
human
You pull the wire
gpt
The cord comes away from the socket, and you lose grip as it recoils back through the hole. The answering machine tumbles to the floor with a loud thud, cracking open.

A small tape drops out of the machine.
human
You examine the tape
gpt
A small magnetic tape of the type used to record messages on.
human
You examine the machine
gpt
A bulky, primitive, answering machine with no controls you seem to understand. A small red light is conspicuously not glowing.
human
You go to the south
gpt
The door is locked. Besides, it's cold and dangerous outside at night.
human
Go north
gpt
The local centre for entertainment and laziness, the living room is permanent home to a very comfortable sofa and a television set. Both of these are much in use, usually at the same time.

From here you can go south to the kitchen, southeast to the hall, or east to the study.

You can also see a yellow ball here.

Holly the calico cat is here, prowling menacingly.

Holly bats at the television.
human
You look at the tv
gpt
A less than state of the art colour tv.

The television is currently switched off.

Holly flicks her tail back and forth.
human
You turn the tv on
gpt
The television appears to be tuned to a home shopping show.

Holly eyes you suspiciously.

The yoyo begins to glow brightly.

Awful tacky home shopping show muzak can be heard.
human
You turn tv off
gpt
The television goes dark and quiet, much to your relief.

Holly stares at the yellow ball.
human
You get the ball
gpt
(putting the ukelele into the green jacket to make room)
Taken.

Holly pounces on an insect which isn't there.
human
Go south
gpt
The kitchen manages to remain untidy, despite the fact that your owner tends to prefer home delivered pizza to anything else.

A door to the south leads outside, and one to the north leads to the living room.

Along one wall stands a high bench, featuring a sink full of dirty dishes, next to which you can see a telephone, if you step back and crane your neck a little.

An empty looking hole at the bottom of the bench loiters suspiciously near a power socket on the wall.

Holly the calico cat is here, prowling menacingly.

Holly stares at the comfortable sofa.
human
You go east
gpt
This is more of a study-to-be than a study. A desk will one day grace the west wall, along with a comfortable study chair. One day.

The hall lies to the south, the living room to the west.

On the floor you can see a less than organised pile of papers. In one corner sits a lone filing cabinet.
human
You examine the cabinet
gpt
A dull grey metal filing cabinet, consisting of one drawer, firmly shut.
human
You open the drawer
gpt
It seems to be locked.
human
You examine papers
gpt
A dreadfully messy pile of old exam papers, study notes, letters, junk mail, bills, walkthoughs for adventure games, recipes, newspaper articles, medical records, and who knows what else.

Near the top of the pile you find a flyer for a Teddy Bear Picnic!
human
You read the flyer
gpt
Everyone who is young, or just young at heart, will have a fine day out at the Teddy Bear Picnic. Bring along your teddy bear and partake in all the fun! Frolic in the woods, join the scavenger hunt, and you never know, a special guest may just turn up!

(A picture of a famous teddy bear of print, stage and screen appears on the flyer here)

For more information about the Teddy Bear Picnic just dial 72 on your phone. Calls will be charged at... (The rest seems quite unimportant apart from the date- tommorow!)

The yoyo is glowing more faintly.
human
You take the flyer
gpt
You already have that.

The bathroom has recently been tiled in glaring white. A doorway to the northeast leads to the rest of the house.

Along the west wall is a large tub, which your owner apparently enjoys swimming in.

To the south is the bathroom sink, the next subject of renovation, with a new copper pipe installed, and a storage drawer below (which is open and empty).

A storage drawer has been carelessly left lying about, revealing a deep hole beneath the sink unit.

Go downwards
gpt
The hole is entirely lined with concrete. It gives the impression someone once created a small wine cellar, and forgot about it when they built the rest of the house.

The bathroom is up from here.

An old time capsule, of all things, has been left here on the floor.

The lower half of a sparkling new pipe descends from above, and appears to be blocked with sludge.

Congratulations on ordering the z-chip. You should find enclosed in this package one (1) brand new, never before used, mint condition z-machine chip for use with any existing personal computer. Just put the chip in your computer and before you can say `xyzzy' it will be the Interactive Fiction machine of your dreams.

All you need to do is provide the software. And you need not even do that! We've provided you with a free sample game. Just put the enclosed disk in your computer and before you can say `away' you'll be storing treasures and annoying dragons just like a real adventurer would!

Best of luck!

It's become a matter of pride now not to give up. That tourist map of Paris must be up here somewhere in all this clutter, even if it has been five years since your last trip. And it's your own fault. It looks as if your great-grandfather was the last person to tidy up these lofts...



The attics, full of low beams and awkward angles, begin here in a relatively tidy area which extends north, south and east. The wooden floorboards seem fairly sound, just as well considering how heavy all these teachests are. But the old wiring went years ago, and there's no electric light.

A hinged trapdoor in the floor stands open, and light streams in from below.

You go northwest
gpt
The local centre for entertainment and laziness, the living room is permanent home to a very comfortable sofa and a television set. Both of these are much in use, usually at the same time.

From here you can go south to the kitchen, southeast to the hall, or east to the study.

`Do you dream of saving bridges from iminent disaster during major storms rather than playing volleyball?'
human
Go south
gpt
The kitchen manages to remain untidy, despite the fact that your owner tends to prefer home delivered pizza to anything else.

A door to the south leads outside, and one to the north leads to the living room.

A large cardboard box stands open on the floor here, foam rubber packing sprawling in all directions.

Along one wall stands a high bench, featuring a sink full of dirty dishes, next to which you can see a telephone, if you step back and crane your neck a little.

An empty looking hole at the bottom of the bench loiters suspiciously near a power socket on the wall.

A picnic basket has been left here, containing a honey jar.

You can also see an ergonomic chair and an answering machine here.
