You are about to embark on Receda's Revenge, an exciting adventure game based in Ye Olde Perplex City. Oct 04 05 11:19:30 You're 15 years old, and you live with your mother; your father died a long time ago, in mysterious circumstances that no-one likes talking about. Your mother works at the nearby tailors as an assistant. Oct 04 05 11:19:30 This is where you live. It's a tiny house with only three rooms, for a kitchen, bedroom and living area. From where you are, you can see all the rooms - clean, but spare. There is an air of want throughout, reflected by your fraying clothes and the old, many-times repaired furniture. Occasionally you dream of better things, and wonder whether there is more to life than this.

An old man, waiting at your door, quickly walks up to you. Oct 04 05 11:23:06 The old man stares at you, searchingly. His face is weathered and pockmarked with scars, and he stands painfully with a stoop, leaning on a cane, but you can sense a certain kind of dignity and pride that is buried under decades of toil. He's wearing an sad set of clothes; they're finely made, with good material, but they've been worn for ten years too long and need a good wash. He has an oddly-shaped head.

Who you really are, I mean. You weren't born here, in Perplex City." He gestures with his cane around at the street and crowds. "You were born in a far away place, and your father... your father, he was a great man. May the lords bless him. You don't belong here, among this scum. I know you must feel that yourself, sometimes. Your fate, your destiny, is m Oct 04 05 11:23:15 uch greater than that." Oct 04 05 11:23:15 A gentleman in a dark coat bumps against the old man as he hurries down the road, and apologises quickly. The old man seem startled and unsure, but continues. "I've travelled a long way to get here, longer than you can imagine, but the journey was worth it, just to see you, my l-" he cuts himself off, coughing. Oct 04 05 11:23:24 "Forgive me, but I must..." says the old man, who then collapses onto the ground, clutching his head. Oct 04 05 11:23:24 You pull him into your home and lay him down, but he pulls you close with frenzied eyes and says, "I need to tell you what you must do. You need to get me a potion, the Elixir of Glimdrang, or I will die from this infernal poison the Lord Flaganroth has given me." You eyes widen. Oct 04 05 11:23:27 "I don't have long, the poison is strong. Do this for me now," he croaks, "or I will die, and the beautiful, nubile Princess will die, and the kingdom will die! And maybe you'll die as well! Prove yourself, young lad, I know you can do it..."

Taversen Gate is a broad thoroughfare, with imposing, respectable businesses along both sides, like physicians and dentists for the town's endemic orthodontic problems. The people and businesses here have the money to afford little flowerboxes to put on the pavement. You look a bit out of place here, especially late in the morning on a school day.

It's some kind of Place or Circus or Square. Maybe not a square, because it's not square-shaped. Who knows? There's a statue here, so it must be pretty important. Exactly what the statue is of, you don't know - it seems to be of a number of people in a parade, with the person at its head being some Oct 04 05 11:32:43 important general. Oct 04 05 11:32:43 There's a city hospital here, and a coach station. Lots of busy-looking people are milling around the coach station, buying newspapers and food and drinks. To the north, along Taversen Gate, you can glimpse a wide open space and just about see the imposing buildings of the Academy. Oct 04 05 11:32:48 You can move north, east or south.

One day you wish you could become smart enough to get into the Academy, but your teachers at school just mutter about tuition fees and exams results, and then proceed to beat you, if you mention such a thing. It's probably because they couldn't get into the Academy either. Oh, what you would give t Oct 04 05 11:33:59 o become an Academician! You might not be the head of the class, but you feel you somehow have a destiny to be fulfilled. Oct 04 05 11:34:00 You're standing at the end of Taversen Gate, just beyond the stone and metal archway that is the Gate itself. Taversen Square itself stretches out before you, a vast expanse of white, dotted with fountains and statues and benches, with a huge central fountain. A policeman watches you warily.

Oct 04 05 11:35:45 Oct 04 05 11:35:45 You stand in the middle of Taversen Square - in the middle of Perplex City. The sun shines harshly overhead, gleaming on the grand central fountain and reflecting brilliantly off the white tiling of the Square itself. Some pigeons and crows mill around on the fountain's edges, cocking their heads nervously as you approach. A few important-looking people walk around, deep in conversation, ignoring you.

The head office of the Perplex City Free Press is here, among other buildings. Oct 04 05 11:37:35 A begger is sitting here, gazing shiftily at a couple of policemen standing nearby, engaging in some kind of cold war that precludes them from removing him without causing a huge amount of commotion.

Oct 04 05 11:42:24 For a potions shop, there's precious little on display - just some coloured jars with strange liquids floating around. Most of the business seems to be done behind a curtained-off area, from behind which you can hear regular outbursts of giggling and a steady flow of women and the occasional well-dressed man in and out. Alric is sitting behind a countertop, greeting people in between reading a newspaper. The newspaper headli Oct 04 05 11:42:24 ne says something about a nearby kingdom that's been in turmoil ever since its royal family disappeared, many years ago.

The head office of the Perplex City Free Press is here, among other buildings. Oct 04 05 11:47:10 A begger is sitting here, gazing shiftily at a couple of policemen standing nearby, engaging in some kind of cold war that precludes them from removing him without causing a huge amount of commotion. He's wearing several layers of clothes, which is unusual for such a warm day. Oct 04 05 11:47:10 You can move north, east, west, or into the Square.

The sun shines harshly overhead, gleaming on the grand central fountain and reflecting brilliantly off the white tiling of the Square itself. Some pigeons and crows mill around on the fountain's edges, cocking their heads nervously as you approach. A few important-looking people walk around, deep in conversation, ignoring you. Oct 04 05 11:47:54 You can move northeast, northwest, southeast or southwest.

The doors are black, with ornate patterns spiralling over them, drawn in solid gold. That's right - solid gold! Occasionally you and the other boys from the school come over here to gaze at the doors, and think about the solid gold paving stones, solid gold lampposts, solid gold walls Oct 04 05 11:48:55 and solid gold rabbits that must surely hide behind those doors. Sometimes some kindly-looking Academicians standing on top of the walls will wave down and say something like 'inner city deprivation' and 'institute population control'. You don't know what they mean with such long words, but it must be nice. Once you even saw the Head of the Academy on one of the walls; you're not sure, but you think he spat onto the ground b Oct 04 05 11:49:01 elow (must've been some solid gold getting into his food). Then he threw some garbage over the side onto your head - you kept that garbage ever since. Oct 04 05 11:49:05 You can move east, south, or into the Square. Oct 04 05 11:49:05 > Oct 04 05 11:50:10 knock on the Academy doors Oct 04 05 11:50:42 You knock on the door, but it remains firmly closed. A young Academician standing at the top of the gates drops a very heavy book on your head, probably conducting a physics experiment. Oh well, it's not your fault. In any case, you're dead, and it's probably not a good idea to try and get into the Academy through the front door.

One day you wish you could become smart enough to get into the Academy, but your teachers at school just mutter about tuition fees and exams results, and then proceed to beat you, if you mention such a thing. It's probably because they couldn't get into the Academy either. Oh, what you would give t Oct 04 05 11:52:02 o become an Academician! You might not be the head of the class, but you feel you somehow have a destiny to be fulfilled. Oct 04 05 11:52:02 You're standing at the end of Taversen Gate, just beyond the stone and metal archway that is the Gate itself. Taversen Square itself stretches out before you, a vast expanse of white, dotted with fountains and statues and benches, with a huge central fountain. A policeman watches you warily. Oct 04 05 11:52:11 You can move north, east, or into the Square.

Oct 04 05 12:24:28 > Oct 04 05 12:24:52 <-- Daffy has quit (Client Quit) Oct 04 05 12:25:16 Thanks! Oct 04 05 12:25:28 put key in pocket Oct 04 05 12:25:44 You already have the key. Oct 04 05 12:25:45 > Oct 04 05 12:25:49 talk to barmaid Oct 04 05 12:26:12 The barmaid looks at you blankly, trying to figure out your unspoken words. Oct 04 05 12:26:13 > Oct 04 05 12:26:33 Hello there! I hear you have the finest Fletcher's Spirit in the city! Oct 04 05 12:27:10 She says glumly, "Yes, we do indeed. Why's that? Surely you don't want to drink it?" Oct 04 05 12:27:11 > Oct 04 05 12:27:47 --> Lazarus (~andy@tank34.plus.com) has joined #receda-game Oct 04 05 12:28:00 Not I - my dying father's last request was one last drink of Fletcher's, right from the White Code Tavern. Oct 04 05 12:28:39 I promised him that, even though I've failed him in so many things, I would fulfill this last wish. Oct 04 05 12:29:03 She says sarcastically, "Yeah, I'm sure. Well, you'd still need to pay. Unless you want to do me a favour. I'm feeling a bit low ever since my boyfriend disappeared, I don't suppose you could get me some flowers?" You don't know why she can't get the flowers herself, or indeed why she's telling you this, but whatever works. Oct 04 05 12:29:04 > Oct 04 05 12:29:38 What flowers would you like? Oct 04 05 12:30:12 "Any! I'm not picky. Apart from daisies. They don't count." Oct 04 05 12:30:13 > Oct 04 05 12:30:52 Of course I will! Anything I can do to make you feel better. Oct 04 05 12:31:10 One last thing: are there any libraries of note around here? Oct 04 05 12:31:13 "Enough! Just get me the flowers already!" Oct 04 05 12:31:14 > Oct 04 05 12:31:32 leave tavern Oct 04 05 12:31:54 Mixture Street Oct 04 05 12:31:54 Mixture Street has a (ha ha) a mixture of shops, residential, entertainment establishments. A theatre might be right next to a nursing home; a museum next to a podiatrist. It's an interesting place to be, and it usually has all sorts of fads in it, like this new 'electricity' that they're talking about. One of the more interesting places is the new White Code Tavern, which is proving to be popular with Academicians; it has a Oct 04 05 12:31:54 strange sign with white symbols on a navy background, below the head of some famous scholar. It's said that in order to get in, you have to decode the symbols. Oct 04 05 12:31:55 You can move northeast, east, or into the tavern. Oct 04 05 12:31:57 > Oct 04 05 12:32:23 go east Oct 04 05 12:32:42 Mixture Street / Apple Street / Parancore Way Oct 04 05 12:32:43 This is where your school is - Fanhill School. It's an imposing, broad edifice, taking up almost a full block of land and housing well over a thousand students. It used to be government offices but was transferred to the city education authorities some years ago, after everything of value was removed from it. You can see the window of your classroom up on the second floor, and the headmaster's office on the fourth floor, whe Oct 04 05 12:32:43 re he can survey his empire. The gates to the school lie open. Oct 04 05 12:32:43 The Parancore Way begins here, one of the longest streets in the city. It joins onto Mixture Street and Apple Street. Oct 04 05 12:32:47 You can move south, east, west or into the school. Oct 04 05 12:32:48 > Oct 04 05 12:33:02 go south Oct 04 05 12:33:27 Government Lane / Apple Street / Kink Street Oct 04 05 12:33:28 Government Lane begins here, and stretches southwards. Not a terribly imaginative name for a street, but pretty descriptive. Along this street are the innumerable departments and institutions that are responsible for keep the wheels of Perplex City moving, if not moving terribly smoothly. Apple Street heads northeast towards your school, and Kink Street heads west. Oct 04 05 12:33:28 You can move north, south or west. Oct 04 05 12:33:28 > Oct 04 05 12:33:50 <-- Mokey has quit (Client Quit) Oct 04 05 12:34:15 go west Oct 04 05 12:34:33 Kink Street / Wardlock Street Oct 04 05 12:34:34 Being so near to Taversen Square, most of this area is taken up with expensive or exclusive shops, restaurants or clubs, like the Capita Club, a favourite destination for politicians. One of the shops here is Alric's Potions; Alric (if that's his real name, which you highly doubt) claims to be able to produce medicines and potions that have useful effects. Judging by the number of people going in and out of the shop, people Oct 04 05 12:34:34 must believe it, although for some reason most of the visitors appear to be female. Oct 04 05 12:34:34 You can move east, south, west or inside the potion shop. Oct 04 05 12:34:36 > Oct 04 05 12:34:57 go west Oct 04 05 12:35:15 Southeast Taversen Square Oct 04 05 12:35:16 Taversen Square lies before you. At the opposite end, behind the grand fountains, you can see the front door of the Academy. Behind you, on the south and east sides of the Square, are tall, beautiful and immensely rich buildings. The head office of the Perplex City Free Press is here, among other buildings. Oct 04 05 12:35:16 A begger is sitting here, gazing shiftily at a couple of policemen standing nearby, engaging in some kind of cold war that precludes them from removing him without causing a huge amount of commotion. He's wearing several layers of clothes, which is unusual for such a warm day. Oct 04 05 12:35:16 You can move north, east, west, or into the Square. Oct 04 05 12:35:19 > Oct 04 05 12:36:00 go west Oct 04 05 12:36:36 Southwest Taversen Square Oct 04 05 12:36:37 This is the main entrance to the heart of the city and its greatest institution - Taversen Square, and the Perplex City Academy. One day you wish you could become smart enough to get into the Academy, but your teachers at school just mutter about tuition fees and exams results, and then proceed to beat you, if you mention such a thing. It's probably because they couldn't get into the Academy either. Oh, what you would give t Oct 04 05 12:36:37 o become an Academician! You might not be the head of the class, but you feel you somehow have a destiny to be fulfilled. Oct 04 05 12:36:38 You're standing at the end of Taversen Gate, just beyond the stone and metal archway that is the Gate itself. Taversen Square itself stretches out before you, a vast expanse of white, dotted with fountains and statues and benches, with a huge central fountain. A policeman watches you warily. Oct 04 05 12:36:43 You can move north, east, south, or into the Square. Oct 04 05 12:36:45 > Oct 04 05 12:36:56 go south Oct 04 05 12:36:57 --> Bixter (~Bixter@nat-132.digitalriver.com) has joined #receda-game Oct 04 05 12:37:02 Henderson Road / Taversen Gate / Marginal Lane Oct 04 05 12:37:03 You're sure this place has a name that's more interesting than just three roads joined together, but you haven't learned it yet. It's some kind of Place or Circus or Square. Maybe not a square, because it's not square-shaped. Who knows? There's a statue here, so it must be pretty important. Exactly what the statue is of, you don't know - it seems to be of a number of people in a parade, with the person at its head being some Oct 04 05 12:37:03 important general. Oct 04 05 12:37:03 There's a city hospital here, and a coach station. Lots of busy-looking people are milling around the coach station, buying newspapers and food and drinks. To the north, along Taversen Gate, you can glimpse a wide open space and just about see the imposing buildings of the Academy. Oct 04 05 12:37:09 You can move north, east or south. Oct 04 05 12:37:10 > Oct 04 05 12:37:37 go south Oct 04 05 12:38:08 Teleo Alley / Taversen Gate Oct 04 05 12:38:08 Teleo Alley joins on to the rather more dignified Taversen Gate road here. Taversen Gate is a broad thoroughfare, with imposing, respectable businesses along both sides, like physicians and dentists for the town's endemic orthodontic problems. The people and businesses here have the money to afford little flowerboxes to put on the pavement. You look a bit out of place here, especially late in the morning on a school day. Oct 04 05 12:38:08 You feel like you should be moving faster. Time could be running out for the old man. Oct 04 05 12:38:08 You can move north, east or south. Oct 04 05 12:38:10 > Oct 04 05 12:38:31 examine flowerboxes Oct 04 05 12:38:45 There are some pretty flowers in them. Oct 04 05 12:38:46 > Oct 04 05 12:39:15 carefully pick flowers that are not daisies Oct 04 05 12:39:44 You take the flowers that are not daisies. Oct 04 05 12:39:44 > Oct 04 05 12:39:56 go back to White Code Tavern Oct 04 05 12:40:42 You attempt to walk directly to the White Code Tavern, with no diversions, but end up walking into a private house, getting shot by a crossbow and dying. Better not try that one again. Oct 04 05 12:40:42 > Oct 04 05 12:40:42 --- RecedaBot sets modes [#receda-game -v Cassandra] Oct 04 05 12:40:50 You have been resurrected in a new body.
