"Oh, Julia! Where did you learn that?" Keith whispers breathlessly.

All tongue and fingers, he kisses the milky skin above your breasts, while your hands slide their way up and down his sculpted chest, so eager with lust that your watch occasionally snags on a stray chest hair. Your lips, glistening like two fresh strawberries laced with dew, hungrily roam across his neck. And your hips! Well, that's better left to the imagination.

Normally, you wouldn't even consider seeing Keith at Pine Meadows, but Frank's in Boston and won't be back until tonight's banquet. And when the cat's away...

Just then, a low shelf wedges itself in to your back, jarring you from your reverie. That's when you hear it.

A click. A flash. The tell-tale tapping of heels on concrete.

The next few minutes are a blur. Keith juts his tongue down your throat, but, without you reciprocating, it feels like he's searching for cavities. The rhythms of your body no longer coincide with his. In fact, the only rhythm left in your body is the pounding of your heart, the warm throbbing of blood in your ears. He must notice your discomfort as soon he backs off and starts buttoning his shirt.

"Well, I gotta get back to the Pro Shop, babe," he says, grabbing his shades. "Stop by later." With that, he takes off down the hall, leaving you, still stunned, slumped against the wall.

Utility closet
This is the first time you've been in this closet, and hopefully it will be the last. Keith assured you that no one ever comes down here. And now you can see why. The concrete walls are oppressively close, made more so by the smell of bleach and chemicals coming from a filthy shelf against the far wall. Various brooms clutter the room, displaying none of the pleasant tidiness characteristic of the rest of Pine Meadows. All this can be escaped through a door to the south.

Tossed to the side in the throes of passion, your bag, a fabulous Louis Vuitton original, lays on the ground.

I've helpfully navigated the ABOUT menu for you. There's the disclaimer that there will be (well, has already been) adult situations and we will be playing an awful person, some information about the author, and a "Hints" section, but the vital bit is:

Most of the new verbs implemented are not needed to complete the game, but rather they exist to allow a little more natural speech. For example, you can SPILL or POUR one thing on something else, but the same could be accomplished by PUT. However, one new verb is necessary to complete the game; hopefully it should be obvious when to use it. At at least one point, you will need to BLACKMAIL (someone) WITH (something), where the something is a word.

Additionally, to prevent the headaches associated with getting different responses from ASKing someone about something and TELLing them, the verb TALK TO (someone) ABOUT (something) is implemented. Although you can still use ask and tell (they'll both give you the same response, however).

So, what do you do next, Julia?
