Internet After Dark

The growing complexity of the Text Adventure games I’m hosting on Facebook continues to balloon. What was once a distraction designed to be completed in a day for the first few players is becoming a small production! In these past few days I’ve learned a few lessons

• Starting with this adventure, I now keep a detailed INVENTORY, MAP, and STATUS for every player currently active.
• I did start 3 games over the course of these last few days, which has taught me that it’s much more fulfilling for myself if I focus on one ADVENTURER until conclusion of their adventure.
• I’ve learned that not everyone is familiar with the short hand of Text Adventure games, and I’ll be writing up very basic instruction manual I’ll host here. Players need to be in the dark so that they explore and help me build the story – but functionality I assumed folks knew should be made available.
• I shouldn’t let Facebook malfunctions or  life’s responsibilities force my hand into a harried game. ADVENTURERS are invested. They’ll play till the end even if it takes a few days to get there.

These have really been a blast, and I’m so glad people are enjoying reading them as much as playing them.

If you’re a first time visitor to Internet After Dark, welcome!  Check out some of my videos that I really need to get to making once I’m unpacked.

Today’s adventure stars Independent Theater’s own, Gyda Arber! It was a real treat to get her involved in an ADVENTURE – she’s the creator of The Gameplay Festival at the Brick Theater in Brooklyn, New York. She’s also a polished performer and playwright – most notably as the creator of the critically acclaimed Mysterious Package, an interactive, location-based, theater game/event.

Again, these Text Adventures are completely a surprise, and and her words are entirely her own. The ADVENTURE was played out live over the course of a few days on an open thread on her Facebook page.

Remember ADVENTURE FANS, keep an eye on your Facebook page each morning, because AN ADVENTURER COULD BE YOU!!!

‎>GYDA ARBER JERKS BACK AWAKE AT THE COUNTER OF A SMALL DINER. THERE IS A SINGLE ROW OF BOOTHS IN FRONT OF THE COUNTER AGAINST THE SOUTH WALL, EACH WITH A FRESH TABLE SETTING BUT COMPLETELY EMPTY. TO THE EAST IS THE ENTRANCE TO THE RESTROOM, AS WELL AS A GRIZZLED MAN IN A STAINED TRENCH COAT SLOWLY DRINKING A CUP OF COFFEE WITH LOUD SLURPS. TO THE NORTH IS THE KITCHEN, WHICH GYDA CAN BARELY SEE THROUGH THE OPEN SERVING WINDOW. SHE CAN HEAR SOMETHING COOKING ON THE GRILL. TO THE WEST IS THE EXIT, ALONG WITH A DISTRACTED TEENAGED GIRL WORKING THE REGISTER.
>THROUGH ALL THE WINDOWS, GYDA CAN SEE THAT THERE’S SOMETHING OMINOUS ABOUT THE THICK FOG THAT ENGULFS THE DINER.
>GYDA’S BACON AND EGGS ARE 97% WARM
>GYDA HAS ZERO SYRUP
>GYDA’S SWORD IS CURRENTLY LEVEL 1

>GYDA ATTEMPTS
>READ COFFEE LOVERS HANDBOOK
>COFFEE IS A BREWED BEVERAGE WITH A BITTER FLAVOR PREPARED FROM THE ROASTED SEEDS OF THE COFFEE PLANT. THE BEANS ARE FOUND IN COFFEE CHERRIES, WHICH GROW ON TREES CULTIVATED IN OVER 70 COUNTRIES, PRIMARILY IN EQUATORIAL LATIN AMERICA, SOUTHEAST ASIA, SOUTH ASIA AND AFRICA. GREEN (UNROASTED) COFFEE IS ONE OF THE MOST TRADED AGRICULTURAL COMMODITIES IN THE WORLD. COFFEE CAN HAVE A STIMULATING EFFECT ON HUMANS DUE TO ITS CAFFEINE CONTENT. IT IS ONE OF THE MOST-CONSUMED BEVERAGES IN THE WORLD.
WILD COFFEE’S ENERGIZING EFFECT WAS LIKELY FIRST DISCOVERED IN THE NORTHEAST REGION OF ETHIOPIA. COFFEE CULTIVATION FIRST TOOK PLACE IN SOUTHERN ARABIA; THE EARLIEST CREDIBLE EVIDENCE OF COFFEE DRINKING APPEARS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE 15TH CENTURY IN THE SUFI SHRINES OF YEMEN. FROM THE MUSLIM WORLD, COFFEE CONSUMPTION AND CULTIVATION SPREAD TO INDIA, TO ITALY, AND ON TO THE REST OF EUROPE, INDONESIA AND THE AMERICAS.
IN EAST AFRICA AND YEMEN, COFFEE WAS USED IN NATIVE RELIGIOUS CEREMONIES THAT COMPETED WITH THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH. AS A RESULT, THE ETHIOPIAN CHURCH BANNED ITS SECULAR CONSUMPTION UNTIL THE REIGN OF EMPEROR MENELIK II OF ETHIOPIA. THE BEVERAGE WAS ALSO BANNED IN OTTOMAN TURKEY DURING THE 17TH CENTURY FOR POLITICAL REASONS AND WAS ASSOCIATED WITH REBELLIOUS POLITICAL ACTIVITIES IN EUROPE.
COFFEE BERRIES, WHICH CONTAIN THE COFFEE SEEDS OR “BEANS”, ARE PRODUCED BY SEVERAL SPECIES OF SMALL EVERGREEN BUSH OF THE GENUS COFFEA. THE TWO MOST COMMONLY GROWN ARE THE HIGHLY REGARDED COFFEA ARABICA, AND THE “ROBUSTA” FORM OF THE HARDIER COFFEA CANEPHORA. THE LATTER IS RESISTANT TO THE DEVASTATING COFFEE LEAF RUST (HEMILEIA VASTATRIX). ONCE RIPE, COFFEE BERRIES ARE PICKED, PROCESSED, AND DRIED. THE SEEDS ARE THEN ROASTED TO VARYING DEGREES, DEPENDING ON THE DESIRED FLAVOR. THEY ARE THEN GROUND AND BREWED TO CREATE COFFEE. COFFEE CAN BE PREPARED AND PRESENTED IN A VARIETY OF WAYS.
AN IMPORTANT EXPORT COMMODITY, COFFEE WAS THE TOP AGRICULTURAL EXPORT FOR TWELVE COUNTRIES IN 2004, AND IT WAS THE WORLD’S SEVENTH-LARGEST LEGAL AGRICULTURAL EXPORT BY VALUE IN 2005. SOME CONTROVERSY IS ASSOCIATED WITH COFFEE CULTIVATION AND ITS IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT. CONSEQUENTLY, ORGANIC COFFEE IS AN EXPANDING MARKET.
MANY STUDIES HAVE EXAMINED THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN COFFEE CONSUMPTION AND CERTAIN HEALTH CONDITIONS. WHETHER THE OVERALL EFFECTS OF COFFEE CONSUMPTION ARE POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE HAS BEEN WIDELY DISPUTED. THE METHOD OF BREWING COFFEE HAS BEEN FOUND TO BE IMPORTANT TO ITS HEALTH EFFECTS. FOR INSTANCE, PREPARING COFFEE IN A FRENCH PRESS LEAVES MORE OILS IN THE DRINK COMPARED WITH COFFEE PREPARED WITH PAPER FILTER. THIS MIGHT RAISE THE DRINKER’S LEVEL OF “BAD CHOLESTEROL.”

SUDDENLY IT CLICKS INTO MOTION AND IT’S GEARS EXPOSE THEMSELVES. THE BLADE WAS NEVER A BLADE TO BEGIN WITH – IT WAS MUCH MORE THAN THAT. THE BREAKFAST BLADE INVERTS AND CONNECTS ITSELF TO GYDA’S ARM, CONTINUALLY TRANSFORMING AND WORKING ITS WAY OVER GYDA’S TORSO.
