  > Go downwards
  You ride down the slide again to the second stop.
  
  You stand on the shore of a shallow lake lit underneath by some sort of yellow source. Mist is pumped over the water from the edges of the lake. To the north, beyond the lake, is a glowing room. You can
  climb back up the slide, too.
  
  A plastic skeleton lies partially in the lake.
  
  > look at the skeleton
  One of the skeleton's arms seems positioned like a lever.
  
  > pull arm
  bones and rubber body parts.
  
  > examine the lake
  The water looks nasty.
  
  > go to the north
  You can leave to the south. This is a large round room made of
  orange plastic. In the center is a pedestal.
  
  On the pedestal is a sun orb.
  
  As you enter the Sunroom, though, a monkey crawls out from behind the pedestal and snatches the sun orb. It leaps around the room, keeping the orb away from you!
  
  > look at the monkey
  The monkey is lanky and hairy. He has some fresh scratches on him.
  
  > Pet monkey
  You can't touch the monkey. He is too far away!
  
  > talk to the monkey
  The monkey shakes its fist at you and chatters angrily.
  
  > examine orb
  It is a clear orb wrapped in a plastic frame.
  
  > examine the pedestal
  This is a simple plastic pedestal fixed to the ground.
  
  > check your inventory
  You are carrying:
  a plastic beam
  five food tokens
  a winding key
  a safety whistle (being worn)
  a flier
  
  > go to the south
  The monkey chatters and shakes its fist at you as you leave.
  
  You stand on the shore of a shallow lake lit underneath by some sort of yellow source. Mist is pumped over the water from the edges of the lake. To the north, beyond the lake, is a glowing room. You can
  climb back up the slide, too
  
  A bridge of bones and body parts (plastic, of course) leads north.
  
  A plastic skeleton lies partially in the lake.
  
  > Go upward
  You carefully climb back up the slide.
  
  This large cylindrical room is constructed from mottled rubber webbing stretched between plastic ribs. The webbing pulses in and out to the hiss of hidden machinery.
  
  The way the ribs pulse in and out is fascinating.
  
  You can try climbing back up or continue sliding down.
  
  > go upward
  You carefully climb back up the slide.
  
  This room contains a square pyramid-shaped ramp that leads to a giant opening shaped like the mouth of a huge, feathered serpent. Inside the opening is a bright red slide going down.
  
  You can leave to the south.
  
  > Go south
  The air here is split with sounds of screams and clanks from the nearby attractions. Some of the park-goers pass by quickly to more quiet areas to the west, while others run eagerly into the
  attractions and to the Spooky Sideshow to the east.
  
  Serpent Slide at the top in bright red paint.
  
  words Midnight Laserfight inscribed on it in silver.
  
  Dad is standing around, relaxing and occasionally looking at his map.
  
  Your brother David wanders over from the west.
  
  > Go north
  "Queen coming through!" shouts someone in the crowd, and the petting zoo slowly clears out.
  
  This homey-looking area surrounded by a gleaming chrome fence has several soft animals (and, in one case, squishy) for you to pet or feed. A gleaming chrome food table provides snacks for the animals: a lettuce tray, a crate of mushrooms, and a plate of bratwursts.
  
  A truffle pig is sniffing around the petting zoo. It looks very full.
  
  A placid and professional zookeeper stands watch over the animals.
  
  A racing slug is oozing around here.
  
  A tailypo is stalking back and forth.
  
  > tell the zookeeper about the monkey
  "So that's where the monkey went! Naughty little thing. Thanks for letting me know. He's done it before, and he always comes back after a day or two, so don't worry too much about it," says the zookeeper. "At least he'll stop fighting with the tailypo."
  
  > take the limp
  You grab the limp bratwurst.
  
  The tailypo smells the bratwurst and scrabbles towards you, knocking the other animals out of the way. It seems the tailypo won't let any other creature get its bratwurst!
  
  > Go south
  The zookeeper says, "Be careful! These pets are gentle, but they'll follow you anywhere for that food. Make sure they get back safely!"
  
  The crowd is more or less divided here, with younger kids and families headed west to the Melancholy Mall and more adventurous teens
  and adults headed east to Mechanical Marvels.
  
  A sign to the north proclaims "Cragne Meatpacking Presents:
  Petting Zoo". Some graffiti applied to the sign proclaims, "TOBY KNOWS."
  
  A sign to the south says "The Queen's Menagerie". You've heard
  this is where more dangerous animals are displayed.
  
  There are three food sellers here: a sausage seller, a ceviche chef, and a jelly man, each with their own menu and cart. But something about the food they're selling seems weird.
  
  David is contemplating the various attractions and people in the park with wide eyes. He's holding his favorite plush chimera.
  
  The ceviche chef watches you and the tailypo silently.
  
  > go east
  The air here is split with sounds of screams and clanks from the nearby attractions. Some of the park-goers pass by quickly to more quiet areas to the west, while others run eagerly into the
  attractions and to the Spooky Sideshow to the east.
  
  Serpent Slide at the top in bright red paint.
  
  words Midnight Laserfight inscribed on it in silver.
  
  Dad is standing around, relaxing and occasionally looking at his map.
  
  Dad is so absorbed in his map he doesn't even notice the tailypo behind you.
  
  Your brother David wanders over from the west.
  
  > Go north
  This room contains a square pyramid-shaped ramp that leads to a giant opening shaped like the mouth of a huge, feathered serpent. Inside the opening is a bright red slide going down.
  
  You can leave to the south.
  
  The tailypo follows you to the north.
