Section 3 - The Bathroom

The First Floor Bathroom is a bathroom. The description of the first floor bathroom is "In the bathroom you can see a pedestal sink with a mirror above it, a dirty toilet with a wastebasket next to it and a shower stall."

In the first floor bathroom is a bath called the shower. It is transparent. Inside the shower is a bar of soap. The description of the soap is "One end of this bar of soap has been molded into a point."

The first floor bathroom contains a garbage bin called the wastebasket.

Before taking the soap:

If the player is not holding the soap and a random chance of 2 in 3 succeeds:

Let C be a random container which is in the location;

now the soap is in C;

say "You try to pick up the soap, but it flies out of your hands and into [the C]." instead.

Every turn when the location is the first floor bathroom:

let sink be a random sink in the first floor bathroom;

let tap be a random tap included by sink;

if tap is switched on:

say "[one of]Steam rises from the bathroom sink.[or]The steam causes a hidden message to appear on the bathroom mirror.[or]Steam fills the bathroom.[stopping]";

now the description of the mirror is "The steam has clouded up most of the mirror, but revealed a hidden message.";

now the hidden message is in the first floor bathroom.

after inserting a thing into a a garbage bin:

if a thing is the binder:

say "That's certainly where they belong.";

remove the binder from play;

record "You're fired." as achieved;

say "Those TPS reports will never be seen from again.";

In the first floor bathroom is a mirror. The mirror is scenery and fixed in place. The description of the mirror is "A bathroom mirror. You take a good long look at yourself and grin. [if the player wears something]You are wearing [a list of uppermost garments worn by the player].[otherwise]You're not wearing anything. Do I really need to describe any further?[end if]"

The hidden message is a thing. The description of the hidden message is "The message reads 'Don't let it happen again!'" The hidden message is scenery.

Instead of taking the hidden message, say "How did you expect that would work?"

A binder full of papers is on the toilet in the first floor bathroom. The initial appearance of the binder is "[unless handled]Some important looking paperwork is lying on the toilet.[otherwise]You can see a binder here."

The description of the binder is "A 3 ring binder labeled 'TPS Reports' filled to the brim with indecipherable charts, graphs, printed out power-point slides and clipped out Dilbert comics, making it obvious whoever compiled this report didn't get the joke.[unless binder is handled][paragraph break]You're supposed to be presenting it at some kind of stupid meeting."

Understand "binder" or "tps report" or "report" or "3 ring" or "charts/graphs" or "paperwork" or "papers" as the binder.
