@go main_street

You are at the main_street

Welcome to Main Street - your path to all the excitement the city
has to offer.  "Watch out for those cars!"  The sounds of honking
horns fills the air.  As you hop onto the curb and take a look
around, a light mist starts to fall...You realize that you should
soon make your way into the Virtual City that awaits you...

@go pub

You are at the pub

The pub 'Frog & Shield' is the main Irish joint in the City. Here
you can always find a pint of Guinness or a shot of good Irish
malt, along with a good company to drink it with. The main room is
filled with jolly music, loud hum of bartalk and an occasional
beersong.

You are at the upstairs

Here in the upstairs corridor are the entrances to the office of
the manager and to some private rooms for more secretive
customers. If you want to reserve one of those, then talk to the
manager. Floor is covered with soft carpet and on the wall are
candle-shaped lamps.

You are in the Blue Room. King-size bed dominates the room. Couple
of chairs, a couch, desk under the window, cabinet in the corner
and a bath. Everything you might need during a business trip or a
love affair.

Susan smiles: I knew you would find me, it was just a matter of
time.
Laurie says: Gerald was somewhere around, I wonder where he's
gone.
Laurie says: He was speaking of clouds and travel.
Susan smiles: Yes, of course, and windows to the abyss.
Laurie says: Always these spaces are so unnerving.
Susan winks: Now you sound like Gerald!
Laurie says: Men, remain at home. Women, explore the wilderness.
Laurie says: Tentatively we will all meet at the plaza.
Susan says: The three of us, no one else is here.
Susan says: We will take vast strids.
Laurie says: Gerald!
Susan smiles: The three of us!

@go central_park

You are at the central_park

It's a beautiful sunny day.  You begin to daydream as you gaze
past the swans swimming around the the beautiful glass-like lake.
A light summer's breeze blows in carrying the light scent of
lilacs.  You lay down your blanket and open up your picinic
basket, ready to enjoy a relaxing afternoon in the park. ...right
now you don't have a care in the world....
