The gorilla, moving his rocket launcher not unlike someone handling chopsticks for the first time, puts three items down before you. A brass lantern, an elven sword of great antiquity and a platinum bar. Sweat breaks out on your brow. Oh no. He’s on to you. "Now tell me, Mr. or Mrs. AFGNCAAP...what would be your first action if I do this...?"\n And, pressing a button on his one launcher with his other launcher, your cuffs click open. Free. But it’s no use.\n\n[[GET ALL | getall]]\n[[TAKE ALL | getall]]

Okay, you finally reconcile with all she has said and done. After all those items in her old house triggered those memories, you feel like you finally understood her. You have grown yourself, in the intervening years. You now longer wear the innocent face of a child or the self-righteous, stern look of a teenager. You’re grown. Maybe you have grown to forgive. Who kno..Sorry to interrupt, but you’re being blown apart by a rocket launcher.\n\n\nTHE END
[[Some background info]]\n\n\nThere is darkness, and pain at the back of your head. Basic urges flow through your lizard brain, air, food, rest, smoochies, video games. After who knows how long you open your eyes. You're in some kind of interrogation room, small, cramped. The stone carvings on the moss-covered walls make this look like a lazily designed secret room from a videogame. With you in the room is a gorilla in a suit, who looks a bit like Ron Perlman. Only this gorilla has rocket launchers for arms. You close your eyes. 'Oh no' you think to yourself, 'not again.'And then you remember. The secret mission, from the new boss, who does look something like Michael Gambon: 'Somewhere in the Brazilian jungle, there is a new mastermind at work. We know very little, only that he killed our best agent, Bonathan Jlask. And that he's hidden in some secret temple. Well, we've heard you know how to find such places. And how to get into them.' You told him you're retired. 'No' he said, firmly. 'People like you never are.' You were about to respond, but his secretary, the spitting image of Kirsten Dunst, already handed you the tickets.Flash forward. The gorilla is looking at you. \n"What were you doing here?"\n\n[[What do you mean? I am a botanist. I was looking for a special plant. | Jungle Fever ]] \n\n[[I am a secret agent for the world government! | Too Easy ]]\n
The gorilla tries to wave his rocket launchers dismissively. He fails. He then says, "Who are you trying to fool? You wouldn’t approach a dangerous animal if you were, indeed, a renowned botanist. You know what I think you are? You are AFGNCAAP, the famous IF agent. I have a hard time making out \nanything specific about you, and that’s just odd for a fictional world that has something as weird as a me, a gorilla with rocket launchers for hands! So tell me, am I right?"\n\n[[Yes, I am a secret agent. My mission is to kill you.]]\n\n[[No. See, this is Twine. It doesn’t even have a parser or an inventory!

Woosh! The baby sloth looks at you with big, thankful eyes. This will have no gameplay consequences whatsoever. I am making an important point about morality in games here!\n\nThe exciting chase (music not included) leads you up a stony mountain path. It grows smaller and smaller, but you gain on the gorilla.

With a back-to-basics roar the gorilla storms up to you. He growls, inches from your face. Finally he then hits you on the nose with a rocket launcher. \nWhich is far less funny than it sounds.\n\n"STOP STALLING, HUMAN!”\n\n[[ I then decided to sneak up to it. | Waitaminute1 ]]\n

You try to pass the gorilla, but her accelerates his swerving maneuver and crashes into you. Your chariot looses ground, and you tumble down the \nmountain in a twisted mass of ostrich, chariot, and player character. You are swallowed by the green of the jungle. You are food for the insects, etc. This is \nnot the optimal ending, in case you’re wondering.\n\n\nTHE END
"Oh yeah, I bet you’d like a dialogue tree now? Lots of options to choose from? Maybe suggested topics? A long an involved talk, with me switching moods? Well, lemme tell you. Right now I am in a KILLING MOOD!"\n\n\nTHE END

For someone who thinks of scrolling down, picking handcuffs is no problem at all. Soon you're free. As he sees this, the brute follows cliché instead of logic and runs away! \nYou are right behind him , through endless, winding catacombs, always nearly but never quite losing him, as he rounds a corner or climbs some vines. Finally, there is blinding daylight! You blink into it, as you see your enemy jump into one of two waiting, ostrich-pulled chariots. You jump into the \nsecond one and whip the ostriches into moving! (Probably breaking some Protection of Animals Act.) Speaking of harmed animals, there is a ridiculously cute baby sloth in the middle of the road!\n\n[[You drive over it, gaining more speed. ]]\n[[You swerve around. ]]\n\n

"Many a year ago, I was a happy AI in a rocket launcher, the newest and deadliest in weapons technology. Straight on our way to skynet, we were. But then some crazy scientist attached a gorilla to me. And now see I how look. Completely stupid! That’s why I want to take over the world.

I left the next biggest town a few days ago. My only companion was my guide, who did look a bit like Alfred Molina. Anyhoo, soon we arrived here and after some searching we found the plant. But then my guide fell into a hole. I attached my rope to a nearby statue. Only the statue had to be weighed down with sand from the nearby beach first, which I put in the linen bags which carried the clothes. Then I climbed down the hole. Down there, I felt like being eaten by a grue so I switched on my lamp. Only it didn't have any batteries. And my box full of batteries was guarded by a snake. I found a toy mouse to distract it, so I got my batteries. They were the wrong size. But with them, I could switch on the venilator for Professor Bunglay, who in turn gave me his electric shaver, which did hold the right batteries. So I went back down there again, but when I finally could see, I didn't see my guide, I saw a sleeping tiger!\n\n[[I then decided to sneak up to it. | Waitaminute1 ]]\n\n[[I then decided to wait a bit. | SoOne ]]\n\n[[I probably should tell you about the plant. | textdump]]
Quicker than you can say cutscene, you’re tied up again. The gorilla looks at you. "You know, I always envied you. Getting all the treasures, defeating all those thieves, solving all those fiendish puzzles. But now look. What has the world come to? All these angsty protagonists with their guilt-ridden \nbackstories, all these branching narratives. You live in a world that no longer needs you. The puzzle is dead. But don’t worry, soon are you!"\nWith that, he lifts his rocket launcher!\n\n[[Try to get back to that one childhood memory you always shut out, and mentally reconcile with your mother.]]\n\n[[Choose any incidental memory that just happens to pop up.]]\n\n[[Please, we can talk about this!]]\n\n\n\n
Erythroxylum coca\n\nFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\n\nScientific classification\nKingdom: Plantae\n(unranked): Angiosperms\n(unranked): Eudicots\n(unranked): Rosids\nOrder: Malpighiales\nFamily: Erythroxylaceae\nGenus: Erythroxylum\nSpecies: E. coca\nBinomial name\nErythroxylum coca\nLam.\n\nContents\n\n1 Description\n2 Taxonomy\n3 Amazonian Coca\n4 See also\n5 References\n6 External links\nDescription\n\nThe coca plant resembles a blackthorn bush, and grows to a height of 2–3 m (7–10 ft). The branches are straight, and the leaves, which have a green tint, are thin, opaque, oval, and taper at the extremities. A marked characteristic of the leaf is an areolated portion bounded by two longitudinal curved lines, one line on each side of the midrib, and more conspicuous on the under face of the leaf.\n\nThe flowers are small, and disposed in little clusters on short stalks; the corolla is composed of five yellowish-white petals, the anthers are heart-shaped, and the pistil consists of three carpels united to form a three-chambered ovary. The flowers mature into red berries.\n\nThe leaves are sometimes eaten by the larvae of the moth Eloria noyesi.\n\nTaxonomy\n\nAmong the genus Erythroxylum, cocaine-rich leaves are obtained from four taxa:\n\nErythroxylum coca var. coca\nErythroxylum coca var. ipadu\nErythroxylum novogranatense var. novogranatense\nErythroxylum novogranatense var. truxillense (see also Coca#Species and classification)\nAmazonian Coca\n\nErythroxylum coca var. ipadu, also known as Amazonian coca, is closely related to Erythroxylum coca var. coca, from which it originated relatively recently.[1] E. coca var. ipadu does not escape cultivation or survive as a feral or wild plant like E. coca var. coca [2] It has been suggested that due to a lack of genetic isolation to differentiate it from E. coca var. coca, E. coca var. ipadu may be better defined as a distinct cultivar than a taxonomic variety.[3]\n\nUnlike the other species of coca which are propagated through seeds, E. coca var. ipadu, which rarely produce seeds, is propagated through stem cuttings which remain viable for several weeks if kept moist.[2] Since Amazonian coca is vegetatively propagated, entire plantations may be populated from the same clone. E. coca var. ipadu is specially adapted to the shifting agriculture of semi-nomadic Amazonian peoples. Since cuttings of E. coca var. coca do not easily root, it is likely that E. coca var. ipadu has been artificially selected for its ease of vegetative propagation.[2] In contrast to the Andean E. coca var. coca, Amazonian E. coca var. ipadu is typically a weaker plant evidenced by the fact that after a few years plants lose their vigor and easily fall prey to disease or insect infestation. Overharvesting can speed up this process.[4]\n\nAmazonian coca is prepared differently than the other three cultivated cocas. After fire-toasting the leaves dry, they are pulverized. Once sifted, the powder is combined with ashes from plants which serve as the necessary alkaline admixture for coca chewing.[4]\n\nSee also\n\nCoca alkaloids\nReferences\n\nJump up ^ Plowman T.

You slow down, and predictably, the gorilla swerves his chariot - right into thin air! Ostriches and chariot dance the same old, short and painful dance with gravity, but the gorilla clinges to the edge of the rock. He can’t really get a grip with his rocket launchers, though, and he slides downwards ever so slowly. \n"LISTEN!" he screams, scrambling. "This is bigger than you and me. Bigger than everything!

You decide to ram the gorilla! This works better than expected. Both chariots get wedged into each other, and soon you both swerve off the road and tumble down the mountain in a twisted mass of ostrich, chariot, gorilla and player character.
