You are old and useless, sitting in your one-bedroom apartment overlooking Lower Manhattan. You have already begun the game! > Left You are in Dracula's bathroom.

What would company think? Oh, that's right, no one visits you. Sorry. > Jump out window There is no window here. > Turn on bathtub You look in vain for an 'on' switch, and are distressed to find only knobs, one marked 'H' and one marked 'C.' > Leave bathroom You are Dracula. You are old and useless, sitting in your one-bedroom apartment overlooking Lower Manhattan. > Jump out window You back up for a running start, sprint toward your window, jump, and smack right into the double-paned glass. You are laying on the ground. Your nose is bleeding. You hear footsteps outside. > Stand up You are Dracula. You are old and useless, standing in your one-bedroom apartment overlooking Lower Manhattan. > Go to door There is no need, the door is easily accessible from where you stand. The footsteps grow louder. > My apartment sucks > Open door I'm sorry, I don't understand that command. You open the door. Outside you see a dimly-lit hallway. > Walk into hallway You are in a dimly-lit hallway. To the north are doors leading to this building's other occupants. To the south are doors leading to this building's other occupants. The footsteps are very loud now, as if surrounding you. > Scream like a girl You scream like a girl. The footsteps stop, inquisitively. A neighbor opens her door, and asks you to keep the noise down. > Walk north > I'm fucking Dracula. Hiss You are in a dimly lit hallway. You hiss at no one in particular. > Stand You are already standing. > Sit You are sitting. You feel the floor's moisture seeping into your pants, and curse the super once again for not fixing the pipes. You hear footsteps coming from behind you. > Turn around You are facing south. You are in a dimly lit hallway. Further south are doors leading to this building's other occupants. Behind you are doors leading to this building's other occupants. > wtf The footsteps are now so loud that they seem to be a part of you. I'm sorry I do not understand 'wtf.' > This game fucking sucks > I want to shoot something Dracula! Did your mother teach you that language? > Shoot at footsteps You have no gun. > Knife the bitch There is no bitch in eyesight. Also you have no knife. The lights in the dimly-lit hallway go out. > Stand The footsteps reverberate through your body. You are standing in a non-lit hallway. You don't know what's around you. You feel a metallic hand on your shoulder. > Hiss You hiss at the hand on your shoulder. It does not move. You hear a voice. "Say, mac, you Dracula?" > I'm fucking Dracula The voice sounds taken aback. "Oh, sorry sir, I had no idea. Well, listen, tell your, er, boyfriend that the robots came looking for him. Do you know when he might be back?" > Claw metallic hand You claw at the metallic hand, feebly, teary-eyed and desperate. The robot does nothing. "...right. Well, listen, we're scheduled to do battle with Dracula. Some kind of promotional event, you understand. If you see him, let him know that the robots are in the lobby waiting for him." > Go to lobby There is no lobby here. > God damn it. I'm Dracula. > Turn into bat I don't understand command 'God.' You are now a bat. > Fly north You are in a non-lit hallway. You see nothing. Your bat radar senses an elevator further north. > Fly to elevator You are hovering in the air, looking at a cranky old elevator. This thing has frightened you ever since you moved into this building. And you're Dracula, so that's saying a lot. > Look for stairs You see nothing. > Press elevator button You fly at an odd angle, attempting desperately to maneuver your wing into a position to press the elevator button. You miss, continually, and manage to break your wing. You fall to the ground. Your consciousness begins to fade. You hear the robots speaking. "Yeah, I don't know man, they said he was scheduled to be here. Look, it says right on the paper, 'Meet Dracula at 2pm.' see?" A robot steps on your frail bat body, on its way to the elevator. You have died. Restore/Restart/Quit?
