The Ride of Train; (A Forum Adventure about Pain)

"The Ride of Train" is a forum adventure, which is a mock up of a text adventure game played in a forum. This game is going to play similar to a real text adventure game when it comes to scenario or situation(although, that is implying any of you ever played one). However, as like all forum adventures, I expect commands to come in compete sentences. Input can be pretty much anything, but how the character responds is up to me. He is basically a blank character and not defined in anyway, so go nuts. Or not, if you don't feel like dieing.

Anyways, here goes.

EDIT: The person who get to chose the player input is the first person who post after my updates on the character's adventure. So, first come, first serve.


You wake up to find yourself leaning on the side of a door while sitting on the floor. It is very dark, however emergency lighting shows you are in the back of a subway train, which could easily act as the front of a train if you could control it. Outside the train it is very dark, and you can't see shit. To the left of where you are in this confined space is the control panel and a chair, and to the front of you a door to the passenger area of the train car, where it is also dark as all fuck and you still can't see shit there ether.

Also, you can only tell the control panel is a control panel because it's the only thing that sticks out here. You can't see what the controls look like at the moment, due to being on the ground in the mostly dark train leaning on a exit door.

What do you do?

You go to the control panel. However, for some reason, it does not have the controls for a train, but instead a computer built into the panel. It has a old style keyboard and a built in track ball mouse which serves no purpose, as the OS is loaded with a mod of QADOS(quick and dirty operating system).

Someone has also been using the computer, as a few commands have already been put into the machine. Most of it was just messing though folders, however one note worthy command is apparently waiting to be entered, who the last user never put in, reading "c:\MTAfiles\profilecreation.exe"

You press enter on the keyboard, and it loads up a prompt. Also, a mouse pointer shows up.

(Note: All computer logs will be inside the code box.)

Code:
 
Hello new employee. Welcome to the MTA train crew. Please enter your name into the computer and press the enter key enter.


There is more text than that, but it's all in very very small font that you can't read.

Ignoring the text and the mouse, you enter in "David Caradine" and press enter.

The screen goes blank for a second, then the prompt opens up again.

Code:
 
Hello David. You must now enter a description of your clothing for this train test simulation for reference of the staff. You may put down one type of shirt, pants, shoes, and one other type of clothing that is miscellaneous.


Again there is more small text and the mouse pointer on the screen. You could do something with it, but you're not sure what without trying.

You find that the track ball mouse, which you have found somewhere a few seconds ago, was infact, a mouse.

You left click the small text, and it decreases in size. Then more text shows up at the bottom.

You make the other text smaller by left clicking it. You keep left clicking it till it's as small as the other text. You feel better about yourself because this program is annoying as hell and this serves it right.

You try typing out the lyrics for Princes of the Universe by Queen, assuming typing out it's awesomeness would solve all your problems.

The computer screen goes black and it starts smoking before you can type down your clothing, which you were planing on lying about with random answers.

Really, you are wearing a nylon jacket, a plain white tee, black jeans, and colorful sneakers.

You have four pants pockets that can carry one small item in each one from your inventory. Your jackets has two pockets that act the same way, and one of which lets you grab items like phones, small flash lights, and matches while still having them equipped with out them being in your hand. You aren't carrying anything, however.

What do you do?

As stated before, there are two doors. One leads into what appears to be a underground train tunnel full of blackness, and the other leading into the train. However, it seems that by over loading the computer terminal, you have activated the emergency lighting for the rest of the train. You guess memorizing Queen lyrics really does solve problems.

Which door do you go though?

You enter the main section of the train. It's wide and looks like what you would expect of a NYC subway train. Well, beyond the crappy lighting that flashes in the further parts of the train car, the horrible smell, and the piece of paper at your feet which looks like a map, but you can't tell because your standing on it.

Apparently the piece of paper is ripped. You can see appears to be two train cars, the one your in(with the area you started in red) and a different train car, with what seems to be a door open leading to another red area that's closed off. Also, the person tried to write stuff onto the paper but you can only see "YOU!", "THIS MAP-", and finally "GOOD-".

Also, it appears that at the bottom in red, it explains what the red areas are for or something, but it was cut off also, leaving only "Don't fuck aro-"

What do you do?

You look around the lit part of the train for items while still holding the ripped map in your hand. You find a book called "THE ROAD", a small battery, and a large magic marker. You have a feeling these could come in handy.

Which items do you or do not take into your inventory?(Including the map)

Expanding further upon the inventory system, you have four pants pockets and two jacket pockets, each being able to hold one reasonably sized item or two small items. If you took all three items, the magic marker and the battery would fit into one pocket, and the book would be dedicated to a single pocket on it's own.

You take the battery and put it into your jean pocket. You are still grasping the map in your hand.

...? When did you grow a beard like that? You where clean shaven just a moment ago but now without consciously realizing it you have a big bushy beard rivaling any battle hardened hobo you could name (to be fair you can't name many).

You don't feel anything strange sans the sudden growth, if not spontaneous appearance of your curly face forest. It does feel a tiny bit itchy though, but over all it's presence on your face is just annoying at best.

What now?

In the half of the train car that's lit you fail to find any exits sans the normal subway doors leading into the dark tunnel (all of which are locked shut). You do find a few advertisements however, most of them being for shitty pawn shops and lawyers and some anti smoking ads.

One however sticks out among the rest for two reasons; first being it featuring a cheeseburger which reminds you how you are hungry and how you could go for some food right now, and the other being that the frame for the ad is open a little, and looks like it can be removed even.
