Mystery Box
Meander confusedly into The Mystery Box

Despite your Intermittant Dizziness, you manage to keep your footing as you hurry through the door, and down the Apartment Stairwell, all the while pulling Wallace behind.

[2x1][Image: anxious.png] [|] [box=https://solifuge.github.io/mysterybox/text/walter/box.png border=16]Look, I seriously can't go... wherever you're taking me right now? I need to go home.[/box][/2x1]

[2x1][Image: hood.png] [|] [box=https://solifuge.github.io/mysterybox/text/flannery/box.png border=16]You already mentioned, Wallace. That's why I'm bringing you there.[/box][/2x1]

[2x1][Image: glare.png] [|] [box=https://solifuge.github.io/mysterybox/text/walter/box.png border=16]But I live there? And don't really need you to bring me there?[/box][/2x1]

[2x1][Image: hood.png] [|] [box=https://solifuge.github.io/mysterybox/text/flannery/box.png border=16]Well, I'm also going to need a place to lie low for a while.

Your house sounds like a good place to do that.
[/box][/2x1]

[2x1][Image: wry.png] [|] [box=https://solifuge.github.io/mysterybox/text/walter/box.png border=16]But you... you can't just invite yourself into someone's house? I don't even know your name!

Besides, you're a thief, you said so yourself! Why would I let a thief into my house?
[/box][/2x1]

[2x1][Image: hood_judge.png] [|] [box=https://solifuge.github.io/mysterybox/text/flannery/box.png border=16]Because I'm escorting you home, obviously. Duh.

You'll owe me for the favor, and I'll lie low at your house as repayment. The Dumpster Merchant said that's how you do things around here.
[/box][/2x1]

[2x1][Image: doubt.png] [|] [box=https://solifuge.github.io/mysterybox/text/walter/box.png border=16]I... but...

...dumpster...

...what?
[/box][/2x1]

With that, you step out the front of the Apartment Complex and back into the light of Late Afternoon. The PIGGS' Sirens pierce through the air, not far behind... but thankfully, nothing Police-Like seems to be on this side of the building. Wasting no time, you lead The Guy Who Actually Knows Where You're Going into the nearest alley, cut across to another road, and embark on a journey through the unfamiliar streets of Bigg City...

[Image: travel.gif]

[box=#808080 width=full border=2]New Project: Journey Into the Unknown (Insight):
Progress (Very Easy): 0/1
Goal: Find... Walter's Home?

When you travel toward an unexplored or unfamiliar destination, test your Insight to find your way, and gain Progress. When your Progress is full, you've arrived. More difficult-to-reach destinations require more Progress.

Triumph (20 or more): You've reached your destination, without further trouble.
Success (16 to 19): Gain 2 Progress, and encounter some danger or obstacle.
Compromise (11 to 15): Gain 1 Progress, and encounter some danger or obstacle.
Failure (10 or less): Encounter some danger or obstacle.

Spend 1 Progress to detour, and pick one of the following:
• Find your way back safely.
• Find supplies or information.
• Find aid or shelter.[/box]

You honestly don't know where you're going, or how exactly you expect to find your way to A House You've Never Seen Before, let alone while Magically Disoriented and in Unfamiliar Territory. Your Adventuring Companion offers no help either; he limply follows along, in the confused stupor of A Man Who Can't Even Anymore.

Perhaps he's stuck processing the recent turn his life has taken, in a state of Catatonic Silence?

After several minutes of hurried travel, you arrive at... well, it's certainly Somewhere?

Wherever it is, there's a sign out front, with a Very Fancy Lad on it. It looks rather like a Bodega or Grocery Store of some kind? You suppose it could also be William's Home, but homes don't typically have mascots and logos...

[Image: encounter.png]

Out front, you notice three green gelatinous creatures. They radiate with Adorable Yet Violent Intent, though they don't seem to have noticed your presence. Your Semi-Catatonic Companion seems to have noticed them as well. His body adopts the stance of someone Preparing For a Fight, though he still has enough sense about him to look to you for confirmation.

Better act fast! What do you do?
