It's the week before Easter, and you've popped out of your office one day on your lunch break. Your mission? To assemble an Easter basket that will both delight and mystify your 4-year-old son Max.

You enter a nearby candy store, and the shopkeeper hands you a festive Easter basket. "No charge," he says, smiling, and leaves you to your shopping.

It's Easter, Peeps!

First time players, please type "about" before beginning game play. 

Cheerful images of colorful eggs, chicks, rabbits, carrots, and ribbon-festooned Easter baskets adorn the candy store. To the north, the shopkeeper stands patiently behind a counter. South of you, the storefront window beckons to passers-by, tempting them with its proffered seasonal wares. The wall to the west is lined with conveniences, such as a pay phone, newspaper rack, umbrella stand, gumball machine, and a chair. A lighted display case runs along the wall to the east, filled with candy.
human
You look at the display
gpt
Which do you mean, the window display or the display case?
human
You examine the case
gpt
The display case runs along the right-hand side of the candy store.
It illuminates row upon row of tantalizing confections. The case is lined with a metal runner and a tube of black rubber piping where the smooth, curved glass meets the base of the display.

The lighted case is filled with candy of all sorts. You see some pastel-colored petit fors, marzipan carrots, macaroons decorated to resemble painted Easter eggs, pink marshmallow chicks, coconut eggs, buttercream eggs, peanut butter eggs, milk chocolate rabbits, and rock candy skewered on polished wooden dowels. There is a floral vase full of Pixie Stix in the case with a pile of "pixie dust" (aka "colored sugar!") in front of it.

Hello
gpt
Use the format "ask shopkeeper about [subject]".
human
You ask the shopkeeper about the eggs
gpt
(the decorations)
"Eggs are a reminder of the promise of new life ahead."
human
You ask the shopkeeper about the chicks
gpt
He laughs, almost embarrassed. "I do the best I can to decorate the place and make it look festive. I'm a novice, though, and it undoubtedly shows. My wife was the decorating expert of our duo."

You hear a clucking noise emanating from the window display.
human
Inventory
gpt
You are carrying an Easter basket, your wallet (which is open), inside which are a few bills and a couple of photographs and a keychain.
human
You examine the photographs
gpt
Two photographs of Max lie in your wallet: a baby picture and a more recent shot of him blowing out the candles on his fourth birthday
cake.
human
You examine the keychain
gpt
The keychain is a handmade gift from Max. Your car and house keys dangle from a chain looped around a small red and blue heart that he crafted out of salt clay and then painted with tempera paints.
human
About yourself
gpt
You are feeling quite chipper! It is a beautiful spring day and you are looking forward to celebrating Easter with your family this weekend. You're out of the office and engaging in one of your
favorite activities: brainstorming ways to make Max happy!
human
You examine the window display
gpt
The window display consists of a large ceramic rabbit holding out a serving plate, a golden goose, and abundant quantities of both plastic and painted Easter eggs nestled in copious green grass which lines the bottom of the storefront window. Gold letters form an arc above the main display which cheers, "Happy Easter!!!" to those peeking in from out-of-doors.

"You must be shopping for somebody pretty special, I'd say." The shopkeeper glances at you knowingly.
human
You tell the shopkeeper about Max
gpt
"I can tell you love him very much..."
human
You show the photographs to shopkeeper
gpt
(first taking the photographs)
The shopkeeper is unimpressed.
human
You ask the shopkeeper about the wife
gpt
"Passed away seven years ago," he says, eyes clouding for the first time. "She's with the good Lord now, though."
human
You get the chicks
gpt
(the decorations)
They're hardly portable.
human
You look at the newspaper rack
gpt
The newspaper rack is clearly more functional than aesthetic, constructed of metal and glass. In the newspaper rack are a newspaper and a lollipop.
human
You get the newspaper
gpt
Taken.

human
You look under the goose
gpt
The goose pecks at your hand sharply. Apparently, she doesn't wish to be disturbed.
human
You get the lollipop
gpt
Taken.

The shopkeeper retrieves a wind-up chick from beneath the counter, winds it up, and sets it down. The toy gyrates jubilantly across the wooden surface, while the whirring sound of the wind-up mechanism drones from inside it.
human
Pet chick
gpt
You can only do that to something animate.
human
You examine the goose
gpt
The golden goose is not only golden, she's also alive! She seems to be sitting on something in quite a protective manner.
human
You take the chick
gpt
The pink marshmallow chicks are currently in a glass display case, inaccessible to you.
human
Open case
gpt
The shopkeeper comments, "I hold the key to the display case, but it
is a figurative key, not a literal one."
human
You ask the shopkeeper about the case
gpt
"Doesn't it all look positively scrumptious? Go ahead and look in the case. Just poke around for a bit."
human
You check your inventory
gpt
You are carrying a lollipop, a newspaper, a couple of photographs, an Easter basket, your wallet (which is open), inside which are a few bills and a keychain.

"Once you have some candy in your basket, bring it to me and I'll
check it against Max's list," the shopkeeper offers amiably.

"Max's list???" you think. Had you told the man your son's name? Or what sort of candy he likes?
human
You ask the shopkeeper about the list
gpt
"Oh, yes. I have it with me right here, behind the counter. Once you have some items in your basket, bring it to me and we'll see how much progress you've made on Max's list."
human
You put the lollipop in the basket
gpt
You put the lollipop into the Easter basket.
human
You give the basket to the shopkeeper
gpt
"Well, you've made a good start, but there are still some items on Max's list that you haven't found yet. Not to worry... 'well begun is half done,' as the old saying goes."

"Here," he says, handing you Max's list.
human
You look at the list
gpt
Your heart melts as you recognize your son's crude printing in orange crayon on a yellow piece of construction paper.

a gumball
jellybeans
a lollipop
a macaroon
tiny chocolate eggs
yellow marshmallow chicks
human
You look in the case
gpt
The lighted case is filled with candy of all sorts. You see some pastel-colored petit fors, marzipan carrots, macaroons decorated to resemble painted Easter eggs, pink marshmallow chicks, coconut eggs, buttercream eggs, peanut butter eggs, milk chocolate rabbits, and rock candy skewered on polished wooden dowels. There is a floral vase full of Pixie Stix in the case with a pile of "pixie dust" (aka "colored sugar!") in front of it.

Outside, a little girl tugs on her father's arm, straining in the direction of the candy store, but he hustles her along past the door.
human
You get the macaroon
gpt
The macaroon is currently in a glass display case, inaccessible to
you.
human
Break case
gpt
"Certainly! Here you are," he says, opening the display case with ease. He plucks a macaroon out of the case with a pair of tongs and deftly writes "Max" on it with a thin line of icing. He then wraps it in tissue paper and presents it to you with a flourish.

The display case wasn't meant to be broken, but maybe you can find something else in the candy store that is meant to be broken...
human
You put the macaroon in basket
gpt
You put the macaroon into the Easter basket.
human
You ask the shopkeeper for the buttercream eggs
gpt
Use the format "ask shopkeeper about [subject]".

Gold letters form an arc above the main display which cheers, "Happy Easter!!!" to those peeking in from out-of-doors.
human
You examine the gumball machine
gpt
A metal pole supports the classic-looking machine, a clear glass globe atop a shiny red support. The globe reveals heaps of huge, soft gumballs. Each gumball is stamped with the words "Happy Easter" in white script. A slot and knob assembly is engraved with the words, "Insert Token Here" and a swinging door covering a small chute reads, "Thank You!"
human
Look around
gpt
Cheerful images of colorful eggs, chicks, rabbits, carrots, and ribbon-festooned Easter baskets adorn the candy store. To the north, the shopkeeper stands patiently behind a counter. South of you, the storefront window beckons to passers-by, tempting them with its proffered seasonal wares. The wall to the west is lined with conveniences, such as a pay phone, newspaper rack, umbrella stand, gumball machine, and a chair. A lighted display case runs along the wall to the east, filled with candy.
human
You look at the umbrella stand
gpt
The umbrella stand is rather uninteresting. It is black in color and looks like it may be made of iron. It is cylindrical in shape, with a solid circular base and two circular bands of metal providing structural reinforcement above the base. In the umbrella stand is an umbrella.
human
You get the umbrella
gpt
Taken.
human
You open the umbrella
gpt
You open the umbrella.
human
You look in the stand
gpt
The umbrella stand is empty.
human
You ask the shopkeeper about the goose
gpt
He leans forward conspiratorially, even though you and he are clearly the only ones in the shop at the moment. He whispers, "I'll tell you
a secret about that goose. She likes candy dots. They're her
favorite food, in fact!"
human
You look at the confections
gpt
The lighted case is filled with candy of all sorts. You see some pastel-colored petit fors, marzipan carrots, macaroons decorated to resemble painted Easter eggs, pink marshmallow chicks, coconut eggs, buttercream eggs, peanut butter eggs, milk chocolate rabbits, and rock candy skewered on polished wooden dowels. There is a floral vase full of Pixie Stix in the case with a pile of "pixie dust" (aka "colored sugar!") in front of it.

"Don't forget to look up, if you haven't tried that yet. You never know where things may be hiding in this store, so you'll have to look around carefully." The shopkeeper's helpful voice rings out across
the store.
human
You look up
gpt
You see a large pinata hanging from the high ceiling of the candy store.
human
You examine the pinata
gpt
Hanging from the ceiling is a pinata, decorated to look like a purple bunny holding a large orange carrot. It appears to be out of your reach.
human
Smash pinata
gpt
(with the umbrella)
An open umbrella doesn't make a very effective tool.
human
You close the umbrella
gpt
You close the umbrella.
human
Smash pinata
gpt
(with the umbrella)
The pinata sways, suspended by a piece of twine.

"Ah... I think you're on the right track, there," the shopkeeper encourages.
human
You examine the umbrella
gpt
A good-sized umbrella with a curved wooden handle. Its swirls of
black material are held in place with a loop of material and a snap when the umbrella is closed. It is closed.
human
Smash pinata
gpt
(with the umbrella)
A strip of candy dots flutters to the floor.
human
You take the dots
gpt
Taken.
human
You show the dots to the goose
gpt
The golden goose is unimpressed.
human
You give the dots to the goose
gpt
The goose stands and pecks at the candy dots contentedly, revealing a token beneath her. You take the bronze token.
human
You examine the token
gpt
A simple bronze-colored circular token.
human
You put the token in the machine
gpt
You put the token in the slot and turn the knob. You hear a slight clunking noise in the metal chute below, so you put your hand beneath it to catch a purple gumball as it rolls out.
human
You put the gumball in the basket
gpt
You put the purple gumball into the Easter basket.
human
You look at the chair
gpt
It is just a simple plastic chair, the kind you might find behind a school desk or in the waiting room of an oil-change shop. It appears to be anchored to the floor.
human
You sit on the chair
gpt
You get onto the chair.
human
You get up
gpt
You get off the chair.

Cheerful images of colorful eggs, chicks, rabbits, carrots, and ribbon-festooned Easter baskets adorn the candy store. To the north, the shopkeeper stands patiently behind a counter. South of you, the storefront window beckons to passers-by, tempting them with its proffered seasonal wares. The wall to the west is lined with conveniences, such as a pay phone, newspaper rack, umbrella stand, gumball machine, and a chair. A lighted display case runs along the wall to the east, filled with candy.
human
You examine phone
gpt
It's just a normal pay phone, like any other you'd see in a public place. The bulky receiver obscures the touch-tone dialing pad behind it, and a shiny metallic door that bears the word "CHANGE" swings over a small metal chute. You check simply out of habit, but... In the pay phone are a crumpled note and a candy coin.
human
You take all from the phone
gpt
crumpled note: Removed.
candy coin: Removed.
human
You read the note
gpt

"Forgive me, but I didn't notice whether you had happened upon the golden goose yet or not. If you haven't, you might want to keep an
eye out for her. She likes to think she's important around here!" the shopkeeper hoots.

"You'll find her in the window display, although I'm sure she'll make her presence known soon enough!" He chuckles.
human
You look D
gpt
The floor is made of dark, hardwood planks. Walnut, perhaps? Or
maybe oak? It is well-worn, but functional, and rather charming.

Display case
gpt
Whom do you want to display the display case to?
human
You examine the display case
gpt
The display case runs along the right-hand side of the candy store.
It illuminates row upon row of tantalizing confections. The case is lined with a metal runner and a tube of black rubber piping where the smooth, curved glass meets the base of the display.

The lighted case is filled with candy of all sorts. You see some pastel-colored petit fors, marzipan carrots, macaroons decorated to resemble painted Easter eggs, pink marshmallow chicks, coconut eggs, buttercream eggs, peanut butter eggs, milk chocolate rabbits, and rock candy skewered on polished wooden dowels.

"Doesn't it all look positively scrumptious? Go ahead and look in the case. Just poke around for a bit."
human
You examine the runner
gpt
The shiny, grooved piece of trim serves as would-be pin-stripe detailing for the display case. The runner is about 3" wide and appears to be made of sturdy chrome.
human
You examine the piping
gpt
A narrow black tube of rubber piping, about 1/8 inch in diameter and hollow. A cross-section of the piping would look very much like the letter "o."
human
You get the piping
gpt
You're not entirely sure that the shopkeeper won't be upset if you start disassembling his display case...
human
You examine floor
gpt
The floor is made of dark, hardwood planks. Walnut, perhaps? Or
maybe oak? It is well-worn, but functional, and rather charming.

They're hardly portable.

You examine the window
gpt
The window display consists of a large ceramic rabbit holding out a serving plate, a golden goose, and abundant quantities of both plastic and painted Easter eggs nestled in copious green grass which lines the bottom of the storefront window.

(the pinata)
Hanging from the ceiling is a pinata, decorated to look like a purple bunny holding a large orange carrot. It appears to be out of your reach.
human
You examine the ceramic rabbit
gpt
The ceramic rabbit in the storefront window puts you very much in mind of "Alice in Wonderland." His fur is white and he dons a blue waistcoat. He is holding a serving plate.
human
You look at the waistcoat
gpt
The ceramic rabbit wears a royal blue coat, which falls to about mid-hip length and is fastened in the front with three brass buttons.
human

You examine the base
gpt
The base of the display case looks sturdy and functional.
human
You examine the dust
gpt
You can see white linoleum gleaming through the colored powder in places. There is something scrawled in the pixie dust.
human
You read dust
gpt
"/3../3./3./3/__/2../2/6./3/9../__/3/6../8/7../__/8/6../__/4/6../6../7. ./3./"
has been traced in the pixie dust.
human
You look at the phone
gpt
It's just a normal pay phone, like any other you'd see in a public place. The bulky receiver obscures the touch-tone dialing pad behind it, and a shiny metallic door that bears the word "CHANGE" swings over a small metal chute. You check simply out of habit, but... The pay phone is empty.
human
You look at the marzipan carrots
gpt
The candy has been carefully molded and decorated into very realistic-looking, albeit miniature, carrots. One could almost
believe that they had been pulled from Mr. MacGregor's garden only
just this morning. The candy appears rich and dense. "Mmm...candy
for grown-ups," you think to yourself.
human
You look at the macaroons
gpt
Moist, glossy macaroons. They are decorated with icing to resemble painted Easter eggs.
human
You examine the pink chicks
gpt
The marshmallow chicks are very... well, very... pink! The fact the the manufacturer was able to create colored sugar of such a bright, neon fuschia shade is rather remarkable to you.
human
You look at the coconut eggs
gpt
The filled eggs look extremely tasty, but you're looking for something with a little more pizzazz.
human
You look at the milk chocolate rabbits
gpt
Solid, not hollow... if you had to guess.
human
You examine the rock candy
gpt
Colored crystal-like candy of various hues clings to gleaming wooden dowels. YUM!

These are a real classic! Paper straws filled with flavored sugar
that leave kids of all ages begging for more!

human
You examine the counter
gpt
Just a simple slab of wood separating the shopkeeper's area from the rest of the store. It looks like it may be made of the same dark hardwood as the floor. A serving tray is on the counter.
human
You look at the tray
gpt
Since the candy samples have already been enjoyed, you can see that
the silver tray bears an inscription on its top surface.

You read the tray
gpt
"One code is as easy as ABC,
The other uses phone digits, 1-2-3..."
human
You get the tray

You gently slide the candy wrappers onto the counter and pick up the serving tray.

"Yes, yes," says the shopkeeper. "You go on and take that. I have a feeling it might be helpful to you!"

You hit pinata
gpt
(with the umbrella)
JACKPOT! A deluge of candy comes raining down from the burst pinata. The stash that has fallen from the pinata includes a creme egg, tiny chocolate eggs wrapped in pastel-colored foil, yellow marshmallow chicks, and a sack of jelly beans.

"Well done!" says the shopkeeper. "Good on you! That's for Max...all of it!"

He tugs a nearby stool over and climbs upon it, detaching the empty burst pinata shell from the ceiling, and then disposing of it
somewhere behind the counter.

Congratulations! You have put together a marvelous Easter basket that will undoubtedly please Max greatly. The shopkeeper wraps it beautifully in cellophane and attaches a festive bow. You carry the basket back to your office, anticipating the holiday weekend ahead.
You can almost picture Max's smile already...
