  > Look around
  Pauls Parents are rather fond of this small pool. It's surrounded by some deck-chairs. The eastern and western garden walls are overgrown with undergrowth, so as to hide the family members going for a seamelss tan. This wasn't necessary for the southern wall, wich is quite high, because it borders on a Golf course (Pauls told you they find the occasional golf ball in the pool nonetheless.)
  
  A long paste table is standing here. A white table-cloth has been draped over it, to give it some glamour. The result, contrary to IF conventions, is quite good. Champagne glasses are arranged on it in neat rows.
  
  On the table is a glass of champagne.
  
  A small flock of people is lying around in the deck-chairs, most of them still dressed, waving drinks and mumbling to each other in the afternoon glow.
  
  You can also see a battery here.
  
  > get the Champagne
  No! As a daring adventure person, you know you have to keep your wits about you for the fiendish puzzles that lie ahead. (And the champagne is not a vital item in one of them.)
  
  > take the battery
  Taken.
  
  > look at the battery
  It's a fully powered laptop battery.
  
  > examine the undergrowth
  Thick undergrowth. You think you glimpse something, though.
  
  > search it
  There is a switch in there somewhere. You fight your way through the underbrush, but all you discovered is an old chainsaw.
  
  > get the chainsaw
  You already have that.
  
  > look at it
  It's not the cool kind of big and loud and smoky chainsaw, but a safer, small one, for gardening purposes. Powered with electricity. It has an unusual plug, one you've never seen before. European, perhaps.Of course, the little "CHARGE" light is completly dark.
  
  > examine the plug
  It's an unusal plug, which won't fit any sockets. (So, it wouldn't make sense to painfully have them implemented in every room.)
  
  > look at the wall
  Quite high. But climbable.
  
  > go to the north
  The main feature of this room is the impressive glass door, which leads south, to the pool. All benches and counters are weighted down with random food stuff, brought by the party goers. Of course, there are more people here than in the living room.
  
  People stand around, glasses or plates in hand, happily munching and talking.
  
  On the counter next to the sink sits Paul's laptop. It's plugged in.Wires connect it to some small speakers, providing music.
  Right now, it's playing:"On the edge of a cliff" by The Streets.
  
  > go to the north
  Before the party people invaded it, this was a spacious, cozy room, which one of those big, expensive TV's. Now, you have to wade through thick smoke to escape either eastwards to the hallway or to the Kitchen and the Pool beyond to the South.
  
  Some people sit on the two comfortable couches, sharing joints and talking about Textfyre.
  
  Between the two couches is a huge heap of purses and backpacks.
  
  You can also see Mao here.
  
  > examine Mao
  This guy makes an unconvincing Mao. And an unconvincing threat, for that matter. He is wearing something that vaguely resembles an Anime-junkies idea of a Mao suit. He is waving an obviously fake bomb around.
  
  > examine the bomb
  Oh wait. That's isn't a dud. It's the real thing! A bomb!! You're all doomed!!! You have to do something !!1! Quick !!1!!
  
  > ask Mao for the bomb
  "Hey, how come nobody is the least bit worried about the bomb?"
  "People don't see what they can't believe is there."
  
  > ask Mao about the bomb
  "Uhm, can't we all just get along?"
  "No, I will bomb you capitalists to hell!"
  
  (Actually, don't sweat it. You can't die in this game.)
  
  > take bomb
  You don't dare go for the bomb. What if he activates it? You're changes of getting laid will decrease radically once you're blown to bits.
  
  (Well, you can, but it's an easter egg.)
  
  > take the bomb
  You don't dare go for the bomb. What if he activates it? You're changes of getting laid will decrease radically once you're blown to bits.
  
  > Kiss mao
  Keep your mind on the game.
  
  > get Mao laid
  (lacerating would be more appropriate)
  The chainsaw isn't running.
  
  I only understood you as far as wanting to get Mao.
  
  > go to the east
  A small hallway, brightly lit by a row of neon lights. Dark wooden stairs lead upwards, and a doorframe opens west into the Living Room. A small door under the stairs lead into a storage closet. (Referred to by Paul only as "The Potter Room".)
  Your steps don't make any sound on the the thick, red carpet.
  
  You can see a chest of drawers (empty) here.
  
  > Go upward
  Paul has forbidden any entrance for either you or anyone else to the rest of the House for the night. Aside from a a seductive "Maybe later, when we're alone", that is.
  
  > go west
  Before the party people invaded it, this was a spacious, cozy room, which one of those big, expensive TV's. Now, you have to wade through thick smoke to escape either eastwards to the hallway or to the Kitchen and the Pool beyond to the South.
  
  Some people sit on the two comfortable couches, sharing joints and talking about how some singers suck, even though their songs are great.
  
  Between the two couches is a huge heap of purses and backpacks.
  
  You can also see Mao here.
  
  > go to the south
  The main feature of this room is the impressive glass door, which leads south, to the pool. All benches and counters are weighted down with random food stuff, brought by the party goers. Of course, there are more people here than in the living room.
  
  People stand around, glasses or plates in hand, happily munching and talking.
  
  On the counter next to the sink sits Paul's laptop. It's plugged in.Wires connect it to some small speakers, providing music.
  Right now, it's playing:""Sober" by P!nk.
  
  > drop all
  chainsaw: Dropped.
  battery: Dropped.
  
  > climb wall
  You manage to scramble over the wall.
  
  You are at the foot of a small, sloping hill, the lawn neatly cut. You can go eastwards, uphill. The wall of Pauls garden is here.
  
  > look at the wall
  Quite high. But climbable.
  
  > Go east
  You are on top of one of the innumberable hills of the golf course. You can see the whole golf course around you, which is boring as hell. The only interesting part seems to be one of the entrance gates to the North-East.
  
  You can see a golf cart (empty) here.
  
  > examine the cart
  The golf cart is empty.
  
  > go to the northeast
  A metal gate bares the way out to a lovely country lane.
  
  You can see a plank here.
  
  > examine the plank
  A wooden plank.
  
  > open gate
  It seems to be locked.
