Hotel Room
You are in a hotel room. Every flat surface is covered with clothes, make-up and miscellaneous detritus. On one wall is hung a mirror, above a dresser with two drawers. There is an exit to the south, and a door to the bathroom to the west.

>GO SOUTH
You still feel that you're not suitable to be out in public.

>DRINK WINE
You drink some wine. Everything seems a little better.

Are you sure you want to go out carrying an armful of make-up?

>DROP MAKEUP
You drop the make-up on the floor. You can sort that out in the morning.

>DROP WINE
You go to drop the wine but your hand doesn't seem to want to unclasp from it. You decide to hang on to it for the time being.

>GO SOUTH
Emboldened by just enough alcohol, you storm out of the door. The door closes behind you with a "click".

Hotel Corridor
The corridor continues to the east. There is a door to the north marked "room 404". There is a door to the south marked "room 403".

>GO NORTH
The door is locked. Shit. I hope you remembered to pick up your room key!

>OPEN HANDBAG
Opening your handbag reveals a camera, even more make-up, handbag fluff, some money, and a hotel room keycard (thank f*ck for that).

>CLOSE HANDBAG
You close the handbag.

>GO EAST
Hotel Corridor
The corridor continues to the east and west. There is a door to the north marked "room 402". There is a door to the south marked "room 401".

Elevator Lobby
You are in the elevator lobby. There are corridors to the east and west. There is an elevator door to the south. Next to the door is a button.

>WAIT
You wait. The elevator is getting closer.

>WAIT
You wait. The elevator is getting closer.

Elevator
You are in an elevator. The door to the north is open.
A Bemused Elderly American Couple are here, staring straight forward.

>SAY "HELLO" TO THE YANKS
I can't see any the yanks here.

>OOPS COUPLE
You say hello to the Bemused Elderly American Couple. They don't seem to hear you.

>SAY "GOING DOWN?" TO COUPLE
You say "going down?" in what you think is an amusingly suggestive manner to the Bemused Elderly American Couple. The wife faints.

The door of the elevator closes, and you feel it start to descend.

You are in an elevator. The door to the north is closed. A Bemused Elderly American Couple are here. The husband is fanning the wife with a map of London.

The Bemused Elderly American Couple don't appear to want that.

>WAIT
The wife of the Bemused Elderly American Couple appears to be coming round.

The elevator stops. The door opens. A disembodied voice says "Second Floor".

An Amazingly Tall Goth Tranny enters from the North.

The wife of the Bemused Elderly American Couple faints again.

>SAY "HELLO" TO GOTH TRANNY
You say "hello" to the Amazingly Tall Goth Tranny. She grins warmly and shows a stunning number of teeth framed by black lipstick. You unaccountably feel better about the world.

The door of the elevator closes, and you feel it start to descend.

>GIVE WINE TO GOTH TRANNY
The Amazingly Tall Goth Tranny takes the bottle of wine, downs it's remaining contents, and drops the empty bottle in the corner of the elevator.

"Thanks, are you off to the club?"

>REPLY "YES"
"Cool, do you need a lift?"

>REPLY "YES"
You reach the lobby and follow The Amazingly Tall Goth Tranny to her car parked outside, who then whisks you to the Tranny Club.

Penny M  >More
You cannot More

>y
You cannot y

>Y
You cannot Y

>YES!
You cannot YES!

>Yes
An orc enters the Tranny Club 
Victoria Fox  Dam Becky, that's so funny. I remember those text only adventure's bring's back old memories. Some even used to have a SSLLLOOOWWW drawing and filling screens :-S.

Type 'Yes' to continue 
Pandora Caitiff  Have you been playing with TADS? (See http://www.wurb.com/if/index for more info).

Only TG material I ever saw in an Interactive Fiction game was the very kinky Depravity Bites. A link is inappropriate, but I'm sure you can Google it... 
Vic  Those were the days when we used our imagination about the surroundings and characters.

Even so, we had those dyslexic keyboards even then. You'd think technology would have improved and we can have keyboards that can speel by noow. 
Alli' Cat'  Becky - you rock!
I must dig out my 'Beeb', and a cassette player, and all the leads, and re-tune the tele'...
I think I'm going off the idea. 
Jayne  That's so funny. I missed out on all of that sort of gaming. I didn't discover computers until I was thirty so I think you owe it to me to continue my education with such things. Could you really make it interactive? I think I would laugh until I coughed up my own eyes! 
Lynn Jones  LOL. Ahh those teenage evenings with a MUD editor.

Tip, don't examine the Orc, chances are it'll be better made up than us and wearing a posher frock.

Bitch. :) 
Emma G  Absolutely brilliant.
>MORE
>MORE
>MORE 
Siobhan  Genius. Bravo! :D

You know, the first time I ever used the name "Siobhan" online was in a very similar MUD one day in Nottingham.

I can feel the nostalgia welling in my pants 
Sirena  I don't recall any of that while playing "Zork" or "Hitchhiker's Guide." :D :p

Share and enjoy! 
Stephanie Rowe  Becky, that was brilliant! I was only a kid when those text adventure games were popular. I discovered them in the late 90s when I found a good few on a demo cd of an optical character recognition program. they were the only quality computer games completely accessible to blind folk. Yep there were some audio based ones, but there were terible. Those games ran only in DOS, in 1999! I mean come on! Now they're all directx windows aps but there are still only a handful that are any good, and I'm going off topic.
I still play interactive fiction occasionally.
so... MORE [Press space to continue.] 
Joanna  Superb.

Watch out World of Warcraft, World of Trannies is on its way. 
Suzie Tall  > PLUGH

You now have real breasts.

> PLUGH

They are still 'C' cup. Don't push your luck.


Looks like time to wheel the teleprinters and accoustic couplers down to the Fox and Hounds when you get it on line! 
Becky T  Is that how Sparkle manages to be all-inclusive, so that even the perpetually closetted trannies who are afraid to go outside the front door can attend? :-)

I remember playing The Pawn on the Atari. I think I probably spent more time trying to unravel the text interpreter, when instead of "go down" you needed to type "carefully descend the rocky ravine", and yet in another scene, all you needed was "exit maze". 
Helena Love  Love it, better than Thorin singing about gold anyday ;) 
Julie Budd  I've got to give it to you Becky.
Wait, come back, not that you silly bitch!

Brilliant, Brilliant and 10.10
By the way can someone tell me which hotel that is?
Julie
XX 
Penny M  You just had to mention Thorin and that bloody song didn't you Helena? All those years of therapy undone...

I need to lie down in a darkened room, one with a bed to the north and a light switch 
Gillian  Oh thats funneeee and Penny I spat tea at the orc comment. Reminds me of the first computer game I wrote

10 INPUT a$
20 DISPLAY "I do not understand that"
30 GOTO 10 
Becky Storm  fluff in the handbag... don't you need that later in the game so you can look into the future? I remember getting near the end of the Hitchhikers game only to discover I'd dropped that really early on... doh! 
Becky  Oo... well done for spotting that reference Becky. :-) 
Freiya  brilliant! i bow down to your superior genius-ness :)
