text: > examine the flowerdy
  You sometimes wonder if you should replace it, but you really like the flowers printed on it. Most everything you need's in it.
  
  > About yourself
  You've gone with your jean cut-offs and a plaid shirt tonight. Nothing fancy, but then it doesn't really need to be.
  
  > take foundation
  Taken.
  
  > wear the foundation
  You've already put on foundation.
  
  > Inventory
  You've got foundation, a flowerdy bag, eye shadow, and pink blush.
  
  > wear the shadow
  A couple of careful passes with the eye shadow brush and your eyelids turn a pretty lavender.
  
  > wear the blush
  You pop open the blush container and take the brush. Staring in the mirror, you rub the pink blush along your cheekbones with quick strokes. Satisfied, you put the brush back and close the container.
  
  > look at the posters
  You liked all of the posters when you put them up, especially that one of Mötley Crüe. But they've been up there long enough that you're bored of them. Even the Crüe is last year's band now.
  
  > stand
  Forget this. You stand up and grab your makeup. A little bit of mascara, then you dump all the makeup into your bag.
  
  > look under the bed
  You used to keep magazines under there until you got tired of your mom yapping at you about them and threw them away.
  
  > look in the closet
  Your closet's full of old clothes.
  
  > look at clothes
  You guess they aren't that bad. You'd still like some new ones.
  
  > Go outside
  (Opening the bedroom door)
  Hall
  The hall goes north to your bathroom and south to the stairs. Mom
  and Frank's bedroom is to the west, directly across from your room.
  
  > Go north
  You open the door and go through, closing it behind you.
  
  Your bathroom's not only small, it's not even right by your bedroom. Some day maybe you'll streak between here and your room, give Frank a real show. A bunch of your bottles are scattered round the sink. The hallway is back to the south.
  
  > look at the bottles
  Moisturizer, shampoo, shit like that.
  
  > Go south
  You open the door and go through, closing it behind you.
  
  The hall goes north to your bathroom and south to the stairs. Mom
  and Frank's bedroom is to the west, directly across from your room.
  
  > go west
  Mom and Frank's room is okay, you guess. That waterbed of theirs is pretty sweet, even with that stupid little nightstand next to it.
  Their bathroom is north, and an open door to the east goes back into the hall.
  
  > look at the nightstand
  It's not much to look at. There's a closed drawer in it.
  
  > examine the bills
  Frank's little stash of money. There's probably over a hundred bucks, easy.
  
  > take bills
  You glance over your shoulder, then pull a bunch of bills from the roll. You stop after about eighty. If you're lucky, Frank won't find them gone for a while. You put the roll back in the drawer and hide the bills you took.
  
  > Go north
  You don't know why Frank has this big thing about you not using his
  and mom's bathroom. It's not like it's any big secret deal. You can leave it to the south.
  
  > Go south
  Mom and Frank's room is okay, you guess. That waterbed of theirs is pretty sweet, even with that stupid little nightstand next to it.
  Their bathroom is north, and an open door to the east goes back into the hall.
  The nightstand drawer seems to contain a roll of bills.
  
  > close the drawer
  Closed.
  
  > go to the east
  The hall goes north to your bathroom and south to the stairs. Mom
  and Frank's bedroom is to the west, directly across from your room.
  
  > Go south
  You head down the stairs.
  
  When you're not in your room you usually hang here, watching TV from the couch. Frank sometimes works at a little desk he's got in here, but he's normally pretty cool with you watching TV while he works. There are stairs to the south. You can get to the kitchen to the northeast and the front door and hallway are northwest.
  Frank is sitting in the chair, hunched over his desk.
  
  As you come down the stairs, Frank looks up at you. "Goin' out tonight too, huh?" Is his speech slurred again?
  
  > examine Frank
  Frank's dressed in that ratty old Bud t-shirt of his and a greasy pair of jeans. He's working hard on some appliance, frowning at it from time to time.
  
  > Kiss frank
  Ew.
  
  > look at the appliance
  He's been "working" on some of that junk for years.
  
  > ask Frank about the work
  If you want to talk to someone, use TALK TO.
  
  > talk to Frank
  You wander over to Frank's desk and look at the jumble on it.
  "What'cha working on?"
  
  "Toaster," he says, staring at the inside of a chrome-plated box.
  
  > Continue
  "Toaster, huh? What's wrong with it?"
  
  "Thought it was the heater element shorting, but that wasn't it." He goes on a while about the toaster, almost makes you wish you hadn't asked. Finally he gets to the point. "Anyway, the power cord's shot, so now I'm replacing it."
  
  > Continue
  You take a couple of steps away from Frank. "Gotta have toast, huh?" But he's not even listening.
  
  > keep going
  "Hey, Frank, where'd mom go?"
  
  "Groceries." He leans his head from side to side, trying to loosen tense muscles. "Piggly Wiggly. Hope you told her what you wanted this week."
  
  > Continue
  "Nah," you say, shaking your head. "Doesn't matter."
  
  "Well, okay," he says.
  
  > Continue
  "By the way, could you spot me a couple of bucks for tonight?" you ask as casually as you can.
  
  He sighs and runs a hand through what's left of his hair. "You know money's tight this month."
  
  > keep going
  "I know. But it's not like I'm asking for much. I mean, there's not a lot of places to spend money around here 'cept the Sonic. All's I need is like a ten or something."
  
  "Look, I told you already. Money's tight, and I don't have any to give you. Now quit yapping about it." Frank pointedly turns back to the toaster.
  
  > attack frank
  He'd hit back.
