As I mentioned in my con entry, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
xiphias and I were talking ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
infocom games over dinner on Friday, which got me started not only on my current obsession (learn how to write a text adventure) but on getting my z-file of Leather Goddesses of Phobos to run. And other such things. I pounded on Frotz for a while, but it didn't love me. It didn't love Kevin either. So I went and looked for more OSX apps and picked one out because the guy whose website it's on posts to alt.callahans, so if it didn't work I figured I could email him. ;)
So.
You've waited until the last minute again. This time it's the end of the term, so all the TechNet terminals in the dorm are occupied. So, off you go to the old Comp Center. Too bad it's the worst storm of the winter (Murphy's Law, right?), and you practically froze to death slogging over here from the dorm. Not to mention jumping at every shadow, what with all the recent disappearances. Time to find a free machine, get to work, and write that twenty page paper.

Terminal Room
This is a large room crammed with computer terminals, small computers, and printers. An exit leads south. Banners, posters, and signs festoon the walls. Most of the tables are covered with waste paper, old pizza boxes, and empty Coke cans. There are usually a lot of people here, but tonight it's almost deserted.
A really whiz-bang pc is right inside the door.
Nearby is one of those ugly molded plastic chairs.
Sitting at a terminal is a hacker whom you recognize.

Life is good.
