  This is the place where you prepare food. And by "prepare food", of course, I mean "microwave frozen burritos" and "call for pizza". It's fitted out with all the usual amenities: refrigerator, stove, microwave, cabinets, a large disembodied brain floating in the corner. Pretty much your standard IF protagonist's kitchen. The living room is to the east.
  
  Mindo is floating placidly in the corner.
  
  > take all
  Mindo: I don't suppose Mindo would care for that.
  lights: They're hardly portable.
  refrigerator: That's hardly portable.
  freezer: That's hardly portable.
  telephone: It's two in the morning. It's too late to be calling anyone on the phone.
  stove: That's hardly portable.
  microwave oven: That's hardly portable.
  cabinets: They're hardly portable.
  
  > call for the pizza
  It's two in the morning. It's too late to be calling anyone on the phone.
  
  > open the fridge
  That seems like a monumentally unwise idea. The last time you opened the fridge, you ended up spending a week in the hospital and lost all memories for thirty-six hours before and after the event. But hey, if you want to give it a shot, it's your funeral.
  
  > open the freezer
  Dang, no more burritos. You'll have to go to the store.
  
  > open the cabinets
  You open the cabinets, revealing a bowl of unpopped popcorn kernels and a fuse box.
  
  > Examine box
  (the microwave oven)
  A black box with a door and numbers on the front. You use it to reheat schezuan shrimp, nuke frozen burritos and pop popcorn.
  
  > take the Kernels
  Taken.
  
  > look at the fuse
  Which do you mean, the fuse box or the dusty fuse?
  
  > eat the Kernels
  You try one. Ow! No wonder people pop these first.
  
  > look at dusty
  It's a dusty old fuse that has served you well for years.
  
  > open the microwave
  Fortunately, you haven't accidentally left anything in there overnight. This time.
  
  > get the Kernels
  You already have that.
  
  > put the Kernels in the microwave
  You're about to put the bowl of popcorn kernels into the microwave when you feel a telekinetic tug at your arm.
  
  Mindo telepathically communicates, "You shouldn't make popcorn without oil. Unless you have an air popper. Which we don't."
  
  Mindo is, as usual, correct.
  
  > examine the stove
  You have mixed emotions when you think back to the day you last used this stove. You were making tuna noodle casserole. You're still not exactly sure why the contents exploded, but you haven't been able to pry the oven open since.
  
  > go east
  Everyone is here! Lisa's settled into the big armchair, Thor is hanging out on the couch, Mindo is -- well, Mindo's still in the kitchen, but he'll come in when the movie starts, undoubtedly. You've already got the DVD in your combination TV/DVD player, so you just need to turn it on and late night movie night can begin!
  
  Thor rumbles, "The time has come for time for Ragnarok, Twilight of the Gods! THOR MUST NOT BE KEPT WAITING!"
  
  Your reflexes serve you well, as you duck just before a lightning bolt arcs from Thor's fingers, passing inches from your head, and striking someplace in the kitchen behind you. Instantly, all the lights go dark.
  
  "Oops," rumbles Thor, "Did I do that?"
  
  > ask Lisa about the oil
  Lisa mumbles, "Wake me up when it's time for the popcorn and the movie, 'K?"
  
  > look at Lisa
  Lisa is dozing in the big armchair.
  
  > look at Thor
  Thor, the Norse god of thunder, is hanging out on the couch.
  
  > ask thor about the oil
  Thor rumbles, "The time has come for Ragnarok, Twilight of the Gods!"
  
  > look under the couch
  You poke around between the couch cushions.
  
  Thor rumbles, "This is an indignity up with which I should not have to put!" But he still lifts his butt cheek enough to let you check underneath the cushion he's sitting on.
  
  Jackpot! You come away with a candy wrapper, a quarter, a small bottle of oil, a penny, a dime and a wad of cat hair!
  
  > eat the cat
  That's plainly inedible.
  
  > Go west
  This is the place where you prepare food. And by "prepare food", of course, I mean "microwave frozen burritos" and "call for pizza". It's fitted out with all the usual amenities: refrigerator, stove, microwave, cabinets, a large disembodied brain floating in the corner. Pretty much your standard IF protagonist's kitchen. The living room is to the east.
  
  It's also pretty dark in here. It's a good thing you've got excellent night vision, or else that could be somewhat inconvenient.
  
  Mindo is floating placidly in the corner.
  
  > About you
  As good-looking as ever.
  
  > put the coin in the fuse
  Which do you mean, the fuse box or the burnt-out fuse?
  
  > gethe burnt-out fuse
  Taken.
  
  > put penny in fuse box
  Yowch! You suck your fingers for a moment, wondering if maybe you should get a trained electrician to stick pennies in your fuse box in the future.
  
  But on the plus side, the lights are back on!
  
  > check what you're carrying
  You are carrying:
  a burnt-out fuse
  a wad of cat hair
  a dime
  a small bottle of oil
  a quarter
  a candy wrapper
  a bowl of unpopped popcorn kernels
  
  > put oil on popcorn
  You pour the oil over the popcorn kernels and dispose of the bottle.
  
  > put the popcorn in the microwave
  You put the bowl of oiled popcorn kernels into the microwave, set it for two minutes and thirty-four seconds, and close the door.
  
  A few moments later, you hear a sizzling, popping noise.
  
  A few moments after that, the microwave explodes.
  
  Hrm. I probably should have mentioned that it was a metal bowl. My bad.
