(set: $goal to "food")First thing's first. You need to make sure you have enough food to survive, to keep your body running. There used to be food in your pack, but there isn't anymore. There hasn't been in a long while. There should be at least some places here that haven't been looted through and scavenged from. You just have to find them. [[Explore further|city center]]

(set: $goal to "water")You can't stand the way that every swallow hurts, how your limbs feel heavy with dehydration and how you can feel the beginnings of a headache looming on the horizon. Everything else can wait. Luckily, this city seems to get a decent amount of rainfall, if the heavy clouds on the horizon are any indication. It shouldn't be too difficult to find water. You just have to make sure it's safe. [[Explore further|city center]]

(set: $goal to "shelter")Right. Should probably make sure you don't get caught in the storm. Everything else can wait. There's a lot of options here. The city's chock-full of buildings, actually, but you have to be wary, here. You're not alone here, and you don't think it's humans you have to worry about. [[Explore further|city center]]

(if:visits >= 3)[The clouds have come faster than you expected. They loom overhead, casting deep, dark shadows across the buildings. You used to think the storms brought rain. You know better now.

(if:visits is 1)[Your footsteps echo oddly in the empty halls. A lifetime ago, this tiny shopping mall would have been filled with people.

Well. There's certainly water //in// the fountain. That's for sure. Only problem is, you're not //entirely// sure it's actually drinkable.

There are plenty of bushes scattered around the park, that might have, a lifetime ago, been organized and shapely. Now, though, they're overgrown and unruly.

(set: $inv to $inv + (a: ' red berries', ' brown mushrooms')) Honestly, at this point, you're hungry enough to risk it. You shove them in your pocket and return back to the [[park]], hoping to maybe find something more substantial.

Probably for the best. You toss them back into the bush and return back to the [[park]].

(set: $thirst to 0)(set: $status to $status + (either:(a:'water poisoning'), (a:), (a:)))Think of it this way; this water //might// kill you. Eventually. The dehydration //definitely// will.

Yeah. No way in hell are you drinking that. Return to the [[city center]].

(set: $inv to $inv - (a: " empty bottle"))(set: $inv to $inv + (a: ' dirty water bottle'))You fish the dinged up water bottle out of your bag and dunk it in the water fountain, watching it fill up. Luckily there's no leaks, and you put the bottle back in your bag. Head back to the [[city center]].

Once upon a time, this cafe was probably a warm, comfortable place. It's cold now, windows exposed to the daylight, leaving the once safe building into an exposed and uncomfortable place.

Experimentally, you press the button. A thick, brown-gray sludge comes out of the faucet. Yeah. Gross. No thanks. You head back to the rest of the [[shops]].

Out of all the shops, the vintage store is the most homely. It's easy to get lost in here, endless mazes and circular paths and strange hidden rooms filled with outlandish objects. There's a (either: "hat rack made out of a deer skeleton", "drawer full of homemade bracelets", "lamp made in the shape of an arm", "painting of an idyllic countryside") that you stare at for a few moments before moving on.

(set: $hunger to $hunger + 1)(set: $thirst to $thirst + 1)The candy shop is, unfortunately, very small. Secure, maybe, but it doesn't give a lot of options in terms of security.

The branches up here are much thinner, and you're careful to test every branch before you put your whole weight on it. You refuse to look down, instead climbing higher and higher, until you reach the nest. There are a few delicate, brown-spotted eggs inside the nest. They wouldn't survive the climb down—you have to either [[eat them|eategg]] here, or head back [[down|noeategg]]
