text: > look at your surroundings
  Here is where the middle of the couch is. If you want to play you should totally go north to the middle of the room where there is a lot of space. There is more couch to the east and west.
  
  Those are the mom's legs there by the couch.
  
  You can also see a helicopter, a remote control, a building instructions booklet (open to some helicopter instructions), a pile of dayglo blox, and a brix blox bucket here.
  
  Watson is gloomy in his sad homemade bat costume.
  
  > look at the bucket
  It is a tall cube that is open on top only the corners are all rounded so no babies are harmed in the extracting of the blox from the bucket and it is also wider at the top than at the bottom. It is lying on its side.

  You flip the pages by scrabbling at them until you are looking at this blocky diagram of a rolly car thing.
  
  > Turn page
  You flip the pages by scrabbling at them until you are looking at this blocky diagram of a nuclear reactor model.
  
  > open the remote
  That's not something you can open.
  
  Watson picks up the helicopter and takes it apart and dumps the brix into the big pile.
  
  > put the remote in the pile
  You need to be holding the remote control before you can put it into something else.
  
  Cassie zips in from the west.
  
  > get the remote
  You pick it up.
  
  Cassie babbles happily.
  
  > examine Cassie
  That is Cassie Sandoval, she is wearing a costume that makes her look like a pumpkin. Her arms are scraped up and she has some bruises on her legs.
  
  Watson looks at the instruction booklet and his hands move so fast they are almost blurry and the dayglo blox go together and suddenly Watson has built a nuclear reactor model. He looks at it and then drops it.
  
  > look at the model
  The little scoop in the back for loading in the enriched uranium is a nice touch.
  
  Watson picks up the nuclear reactor model and takes it apart and dumps the brix into the big pile.
  
  > Trow remote
  The remote control is already here.
  
  Cassie babbles happily.
  
  > get recctor
  You scoop up the booklet and it flops all closed.
  
  Cassie falls forward onto her hands and then she is crawling off to the north.
  
  > get the model
  You scoop up the booklet and it flops all closed.

  You flip the pages by scrabbling at them until you are looking at this blocky diagram of a poosh stick.
  
  > wait for a while
  Time passes.
  
  Watson looks at the instruction booklet and his hands move so fast they are almost blurry and the dayglo blox go together and suddenly Watson has built a poosh stick. He looks at it and then drops it.
  
  > take the poosh stick
  You pick it up and it takes two hands.
  
  Watson tries to build a poosh stick but he doesn't have enough blox.
  
  > examine the stick
  The parents call this a poosh stick because they think you are stupid and need baby talk, it is really a push stick. It is a stick for pushing things around. I guess the blox makers wanted easier and easier things to make and someone said, "Hey, I know what would be easy to build, a long stick." The stick is nearly two babies long, it's amazing that it holds together.
  
  Cassie zips off to the northwest.
  
  > Go northeast
  You are east of the gliding rocking chair that is fun to ride on and north of the big TV that Sesame Street comes from. On the wall is a big bookcase full of chewy books. There is a way into the kitchen to the north but one of those baby gates is there, that is no fair.
  
  About half a parent high in the bookcase is your favorite toy.
  
  Part of your playpen is here, there is more of it to the southwest.
  
  You can also see a little doll, a squishy ball, a much-loved kangaroo, a tall plastic block, a short plastic block, and a medium plastic block here.
  
  Zoe has hold of a plastic cup but she looks like she doesn't like it.
  
  Zoe gets onto the short plastic block.
  
  > get on the short block
  The short plastic block doesn't have enough room as long as Zoe is there.
  
  Zoe gets onto the medium plastic block.
  
  > continue
  You get onto the short plastic block.
  
  Zoe gets onto the tall plastic block.
  
  > get on the medium block
  (getting off the short plastic block)
  You carefully climb onto the medium plastic block, it is a ways off the ground.
  
  Zoe pokes the plastic cup towards your favorite toy.
  
  > give the stick to Zoe
  Zoe eyes you coldly, no way she is taking anything from you.
  
  Zoe starts to climb down onto the medium plastic block but then since you are on the lower blocks she looks down at you and makes this annoyed face. Clearly she is waiting for you to go down directly from the medium block.
  
  > get on medium block
  (getting off the tall plastic block)
  You carefully climb onto the medium plastic block, it is a ways off the ground.
  
  Zoe climbs down off of the short plastic block.
  
  > Down
  You get off the medium plastic block.

  Zoe has hold of a plastic cup but she looks like she doesn't like it.
  
  Zoe discards the plastic cup and she picks up a little doll.
  
  > drop the stick
  Dropped.
  
  Zoe gets onto the short plastic block.
  
  Jemison crawls in from the southwest.
  
  > Wait
  Time passes.
  
  Zoe gets onto the medium plastic block.
  
  > wait for a while
  Time passes.
  
  Zoe gets onto the tall plastic block.
  
  > Wait
  Time passes.
  
  Zoe lifts the little doll into the air as if it will magically get her your favorite toy.
  
  Jemison carefully picks up the plastic cup and blinks at it.
  
  > wait
  Time passes.
  
  Zoe gets onto the short plastic block.
  
  > Wait
  Time passes.
  
  Zoe climbs down off of the short plastic block.
  
  Jemison puts his mouth all over the plastic cup.
  
  > Wait
  Time passes.
  
  Zoe tosses aside the little doll and she grabs a squishy ball.
  
  > Go south
  The entertainment center here holds the TV all towering above you and it has these glass doors beneath the TV that you can see stereo equipment through. You are near the couch to the south and the middle of the living room to the west and there is a small open area to play in to the north.
  
  There is this baby swing right in front of the TV.
  
  > go south
  You are where the couch ends here at the east, at least where it ends at one end. North is the TV and west is more couch.
  
  The legs of Marion dangle from the sofa.

  > go north
  This is the middle of the living room, it is all big and vast. This is where everybody plays because it is so big. But when you get bored there is a bunch of other stuff you can go to like the TV to the east and the loveseat to the west and the couch to the south and the gliding rocking chair to the north.
  
  Part of your playpen is here, there is more of it to the northeast.
  
  Cassie is dressed in this pumpkin costume, it is adorable.

  > get the remote
  You pick it up.
  
  Watson tries to build a poosh stick but he doesn't have enough blox, he gets all grunty about that.
  
  > give the remote to Watson
  You show the remote control to Watson and he kinda flinches and looks away.

  Cassie makes these noises like a wounded pteranodon and smiles.
  
  The poosh stick is in that small open area to the northeast and so is way too far away for that.

  You shove the remote control in your mouth and start chewing on it and that leaves your hands free.
  
  > pull up on the couch
  You pull up on the middle grey couch and get to your feet and you are all steady except for the occasional sway.
