AT THE PARTY
This being New Year's Eve, you are at a party. This being New Year's
Eve, you are at a very bad party. You have already tried talking to
everyone here, but most of them are too plastered to respond.
There is a board game here.
> X GAME
It is called "Claim to Fame," and is a cross between Charades and the
$24,000 pyramid.
> PLAY GAME
Trust me, you don't want to.
> X PEOPLE
The other guests are thoroughly plastered.
> TALK TO GUESTS
What do you want to say?
> TELL GUESTS ABOUT FRANCE
The other guests are uninterested in your trip to France, as they all
just returned from there themselves.
> Z
Time passes...
