You fail to find the potato, and you're tired of mindlessly pulling levers, so you ignore the one next to the door to the north.

>>CHECK INVENTORY

You are carrying:
A bottle of Jack Daniels (Half full)
A Moroccan travel brochure
A puzzle piece (Showing the nose of a cat)
A key
A crowbar (Wielded)
A headcrab hat (Worn)
A large diamond
A half potato (In off-hand)
A shiny metal box with a button on it

>>INSPECT PUZZLE PIECE

You look at the puzzle piece and wonder why you are still carrying this. You are about to get rid of it when you notice something scrawled on the back.

>>INVESTIGATE BACK OF PUZZLE PIECE

A note on the back of the puzzle piece in tidy, yet incredibly small handwriting reads "PULL DOWN YOUR PANTS, STUPID".

>>TURN AROUND

You turn around, shouting "Aha!" and pointing in an accusing manner. You catch no one.

You hear a noise behind you.

>>DROP PANTS

you hear a girlish giggle from behind you.

>>TURN AROUND

You turn around, shouting "Aha!" and pointing in an accusing manner. You see a girl standing there.

>>LOOK AT BREASTS

"its so cute!" she exclaims.

>>BLUSH AND COVER NETHER PARTS

Whilst holding onto your once familiar nether parts you feel something is amiss. There is a weight to the equipment that was never there before you awoke in the weird room.

>>GIVE NETHER REGIONS TO GIRL

The girl seems very amused by your attempts to separate your nether regions from your other regions, but they only cause you pain. You eventually determine that you can't give those.

>>TALK BRACKETS

[]][][][[][][][][[]][][[[][[, you say. But it appears the girl only speaks in Brace.

>>SAY {{}{}{}{{{{{}{}{{{{{{}{}}}{}{}}}}{}{}{}

((Argh, too slow! Fortuantely, my post still works, with a little editing))

You sure are... strange, but you're a chronic drunk too, so this isn't really abnormal, is it? It's a miracle you're able to do anything at this point, trying to recover from a hangover with more drinking, much less try to find your way back home.

The girl appears puzzled by what you've said. She then goes NORTH, climbing some conveniently-placed crates to an open window. She motions you to follow.

>>WEAR PANTS

((Because Murphy's not about to go anywhere with those pants still down!))

You hastily put on your pants and follow the girl to the NORTH. She turns a corner to the WEST, you turn the same corner and she seems to have disappeared.

>>SAY "Hey, where'd she go?"

"Who knows?" Says a strange man sitting at a table. He appears to be working on a puzzle of a cat.

>>LOOK

The strange man is sitting at a table. He appears to be working on a puzzle of a cat.

>>GIVE HALF POTATO

The man laughs a cheerful, yet aged laugh, smiles, and says,"Why thank you, son. I don't know why you're giving me a potato, but I appreciate it."

He chuckles again, and continues to work on his puzzle.

>>INSPECT PUZZLE

The cat is missing its nose. Something stirs deep inside your brain. You make a mental note to get that checked.

>>GIVE PUZZLE PIECE

You hand the puzzle piece to the aged fellow. He turns it over in his palm, and mutters to himself. Looking up at you, he proclaims "this is a piece from a different puzzle son, a puzzle of a black cat with a pink nose, while mine is of a white cat with a black nose. Go see my brother on the other side of yonder hill."

>>EQUIP MOROCCAN TRAVEL BROCHURE

You fold the brochure into a sharp sailboat hat and don it.

>>GO EAST

You are back at the corner that you turned earlier while chasing the girl. To your WEST, you can see the old man putting the puzzle together, and beyond him, what appears to be a marketplace. To your SOUTH you can see the window that you jumped out of earlier. You take notice that you appear to be a narrow alleyway. It still appears to be morning.

>>VERBOSE

((This is a common command to provide full descriptions after each command, rather than omitting details already given to the player. I think, for now at least, this might be helpful to keep things more straight.))

>>WONDER WTF HAPPENED TO THE SEWER

((My fault -- I missed the part where they jumped in the sewer. If there was a locked door in the sewer, I'm going to claim that there were also crates by it with some sort of window above the door. So to answer your question, the sewer is back through the (now ground-level) window.

Again, try to roll with the inconsistencies. This is all the more reason for me to have put forth the VERBOSE command, so that everyone is required to full-describe the area (the same way) each time they enter the area.))

>>GO WEST TO MARKETPLACE

You pop out of the alleyway into a large dirt street. Houses and buildings made with simple masonry surround you. Also, what appeared to be a marketplace was indeed a marketplace. There are people sitting at their stands with their goods on display. There are plenty of people bustling around trying to get their hands on the freshest items early in the morning.

To your NORTH the street continues with more merchants to the sides. EAST is the alley you came from. Immediately SOUTH are more merchants; however, beyond that you see the landscape rise and that there is a large, impressive building in at the peak of the hill. The building is far more modern than everything else you can see.

>>GO SOUTH

More merchants are lined on your sides. To the NORTH is the marketplace center, and to the SOUTH is a rising landscape with an impressive, much more modern-looking building in at the peak of the hill. The merchants appear to be selling the following: fish, some sort of fruit apparently called "nomels", rugs, and a much sketchier merchant with a "stand" apparently selling everything he found in their attic -- the sort that gives one the delusion that they might sell genies in lamps and other secret treasures.

>>TALK TO SKETCHY MERCHANT

"Argh... Hold on" the merchant says. He disappears behind a drape for a moment. You look across the table and pick up a box filled with door handles. Suddenly SKETCHY MERCHANT returns and asks "Whatcha lookin for bub?"

>>ASK MERCHANT ABOUT THE OBSCURE COLLECTION FOR SALE
