Aawwww! ''$petname'' is such an adorable name! Now then... Shall we [[BEGIN]]?

<<set $location to "YOUR BEDROOM">><<set $goal to "Go to sleep">><center><img src="https://yourmonsters.co.uk/images/bedroomdusk.jpg" alt="bedroomdusk"></center> It's 9pm. ''MUM'' takes the ''NINTENDO'' controller off you and puts it next to the TV in the LIVING ROOM. Promptly, you are marched off to the bathroom to get ready for bed. After you've washed your face and brushed your teeth she tucks you into bed. "Did you have a nice birthday, ''$name''?" "Yes, I did," you reply. "Well nighty-night, my love." [[GO TO SLEEP->sleep]] <<set $item2 to "NODDY BOOK">> <<set $item3 to "PENCIL CASE">> <<set $item6 to "STEP LADDERS">> <<set $throwitem2 to false>><<set $checkdrawer to false>>

<<audio "tread" play loop>><<set $goal to "Wake up">>You wake suddenly in the night. What's that noise? [[IGNORE]] [[WAKE UP]]

There it is again. It sounds odd, like an eel squirming over sandpaper. [[WAKE UP]]

<center><img src="https://yourmonsters.co.uk/images/bedroomdark.jpg" alt="bedroomdark"></center> It's the dead of night. Your eyes slowly become used to the murky gloom. There is a dark shape by the chair. What is it? <<set $speakmonster1 to false>><<set $outtatime to false>>[[TURN ON LAMP]]

<<set $goal to "Get to ''MUM'' & ''DAD''!">><center><img src="https://yourmonsters.co.uk/images/bedroomlight.jpg" alt="bedroomlight"></center> The ''MONSTER'' squirms in the light, drooling at the end of your bed.

Not a chance. By the time you've thrown back your sheets and swung yourself out of bed the ''MONSTER'' has pounced. It leaps on you pushing you back down onto the bed, it's wet drool drips onto your face. You try to cry out but it's too late, a goopy hand covers your mouth and the world fades to black. [[BLACKNESS->CAUGHT]]

"Er, hey," you splutter. "W-what do you want?" The ''MONSTER'' smirks. A sickly, leering grin splits its face as it opens its dripping maw to speak. "I want to eat you!" <<set $turn = $turn - 1>><<set $speakmonster1 to true>> <<include "monstercombat1">>

Surrounded in darkness all you can do is wait for the inevitable end. Sure enough the ''MONSTER'' pounces, leaping on you and pushing you back down onto the bed. It's wet drool drips down onto your face. You try to cry out but it's too late, a goopy hand covers your mouth and the world fades to black. [[CAUGHT]]

You blow out your candles, eyes closed, hands clenched into fists, wishing as hard as you can for the all the best presents in the world. A slightly sour feeling runs through you. Maybe that was a little selfish?<<playerSmarts -1>> ''Your SMARTS have DECREASED'' [[OH WELL, LET'S GET ON WITH OPENING YOUR PRESENTS...->PRESENTS]]

<<playerSmarts 1>>You look at the thirteen birthday candles on your cake and exhale. Determined, you blow out each one in a single breath. Inside you feel a sense of calm spread through you. You feel even better. Your family cheer and ''DAD'' takes a picture of you on the Polaroid. A bright flash, then the whirring of electrical parts as the camera spits out the picture. ''Your SMARTS have INCREASED.'' IT'S TIME TO OPEN YOUR [[PRESENTS]]

"You're welcome sweetie," says ''MUM''. "Just remember to take a rest every now and again." "I will," you reply.

You play with the ''RUBIK'S CUBE''. It looks pretty as it is and you are unsure that if you mess about with the colours you'll ever manage to get them back in the right order. You give it a go as ''UNCLE JACK'' looks on. There is something unsatisfying about the ''$item1''. "How do I get the colours back together?" you ask after several minutes. "Well, that's the puzzle!" says your uncle. "There is a pattern to it all. You just need to figure it out." Feeling a little dispirited inside, you nod. "Oh. Okay." <<set $playtime1 to $playtime1 -1>><<playerEnergy -10>><<set $playcube to true>> [[GIVE UP->EndCube]] [[KEEP TRYING->TryCube]]

You give up on the ''$item1''. "That's kinda hard," you say to your uncle as you put it down. "I'll try later." ''UNCLE JACK'' nods. "Practice makes perfect remember.

''DAD'' laughs while your $sibling gleefully picks up a controller. "Bring it on!" Time flies and you both get so engrossed that you spend the next hour playing together. You win the majority of battles which only annoys your $sibling further - much to your delight! During a particularly tense battle your $pet strolls over and curls up next to you.

Oh, nearly forgot to say, I put your ''$item5'' in the SHED last night. I think I left the ''SHED KEY'' in the KITCHEN. If you want to play together today just grab it from there."

"If that's what ''$name'' wants, that's what $heshe gets!" ''MUM'' snaps and opens the cupboard and pulls out the beige box of cereal.

<center><img src="https://yourmonsters.co.uk/images/glasscabinet.jpg" alt="glass"></center><<if $openglasscabinet eq false>> You carefully open the glass-fronted cabinet. Inside are ''MUM'S'' expensive-looking crystal glasses of various shapes and sizes: tumblers, wine glasses, sherry glasses, glass flutes, etc. Although wonderful to look at, you know all it would take is a trip to reduce everything in here to dangerous broken shards of glass. With that in mind, you always think it's best to leave this cabinet alone as much as possible.<<set $openglasscabinet to true>><</if>>\ <<if $openglasscabinet eq true>>There is nothing in here that you are comfortable taking.<</if>> [[CLOSE THE GLASS CABINET->Dining Room]]

Aside from the paint cans, spray cans, and jam jars filled with paint brushes, you can see a [[TOOLBOX]]. [[BACK->Garage]]

Unsurprisingly, inside the TUMBLE DRYER is absolutely nothing. [[BACK->Garage]]

You are careful to leave the <<if $hasitem20 eq false>>horn<</if>><<if $hasitem20 eq true>>[[HORN]]<</if>> alone though as don't want to get into trouble. To your left is the [[GLOVEBOX]].<<set $beenincar to true>> [[GET OUT OF THE CAR->Garage]]<</if>>\

Of course. ''DAD'S'' TOOLBOX. You slowly open it up. Inside the TOOLBOX is a load of wrenches, screwdrivers, sprit levels and many packets of screws and nails. <<if $hasitem33 eq false>>There is also:<</if>> <<if $hasitem33 eq false>>Some '' $item33'' are here. <<click [[TAKE THEM?|TOOLBOX]]>><<set $hasitem33 to true>><<get "sparekeys">><</click>><</if>> [[CLOSE THE TOOLBOX->Garage]]

<<set $hasitem22 to false>><<set $hornyes to true>>Well. It actually appears that you couldn't help yourself and you press the HORN. Immediately you regret this decision as the frightingly loud bark errupts from the CAR. ''"$name!"'' You hear ''DAD'' shout from the STUDY. Within moments he is in the GARAGE and hauling you out of the CAR. "You could have hurt yourself ''$name''. That was very bad!" <<set $mumdadtrust to $mumdadtrust -1>> Scolded, you remain quiet as ''DAD'' takes the ''KEYS'' off you and locks up the [[CAR->Garage]].

/* ITEM SYNTAX name = The name of the items to show up in the inventory and other places when mentioned. description = The block of text shown when the item is examined, if the 'checkable' parameter is used, then this description will only be shown if the player is in one of the predefined passages specified. If not then it will show the text in the 'checkableText' parameter. battle = true / false. Can this item be used in battle (true) or is it a key item for use elsewhere (false)? destruct = true / false. When used in battle, or checked and another item is found within, is this item destroyed? throw = true / false. Is the item a throwable (one use) item in battle (true) or is it an equippable item that can be used multiple times (false)? close = true / false. Is the item only useable in battle when the enemy is close to you (like a melee weapon)? If this is set to false, and throw is set to false then the item is useless in battle. damage = When used in battle, how much damage does the weapon do per usage? (Possible improvement: Allow this to be an array of [minimum,maximum] where it will randomly generate an amount of damage between the minimum and maximum numbers to deal, if not an array then it will just do a flat amount). battletext = When used in battle, this message will be shown to state what has happened, so should be something like "You throw the ___ at the monster and it strikes it in the head". status = An array of status effects that this item causes when used, in battle, this will be applied to the monster, out of battle it will be applied to the player. quantity = How many of these are you carrying? This can be increased over time, if reduced to 0 then the item is destroyed. checkable = An array of what passages this item can be checked in, ie: ["Passage 1","Other Passage"], see the description section above for more details. checkableText = The text shown if the item is examined outside of one of the checkable passages. discardtext = When discarded, this text will be shown instead of a default message. contains = An array of item handles inside of the current item. When examined, it will display the 'containsText' parameter and a yes/no option. If yes is specified, then the player will get all of the items specified in this array, if 'destruct' is set to true then this item will also be destroyed. containsText = Text shown to describe items inside this item, ending in a "Will you take it?" style question. combine = An array of items that this can be combined with to create another item. The index in the array should be the handle of the item with which this can be combined, and the value should be an array containing 'result' which is the handle for the item created when combined, 'optionText' which is the text stating that the item can be combined with this and whether they want to (this will always be followed by a yes/no option), and 'combineText' which is the message given when this combination is successfully made. Any items combined together that have 'destruct' set to true will be destroyed. Example usage: "combine" : { "itemToCombineWith":{ "result":"resultingItem", "optionText":"It looks like you can combine this with the itemToCombineWith, would you like to?", "combineText":"You successfully combine the two items together and end up with a shiny new resultingItem!" } } combinetext = When it is possible to combine this item with something else, this text will be shown at the bottom of the examine text. So something like "If only you had a LIGHTER you could light this smokebomb..." */ <<set $items={ "cricketbat": { "name": "Cricket Bat", "battlename": "CRICKET BAT", "description":"A solid wood cricket bat.

Your $uppersibling is still out at their friend's house and no one has heard from ''UNCLE JACK'' since this morning.

"Your father says you were in the ATTIC. Did you find what you were looking for?" "No, but it wasn't very important. I was just looking around really." ''$petname'' makes a noise next to you and you reach down and [[STROKE THEM->PETRETURN]]<</if>>

''DAD'' shakes his head. "No, it looks like something struck you." "Did ''$siblingname'' hit you?" ''MUM'' asks. "No! Of course not! I don't know how it happened." "Does it hurt anywhere else?" "No, just my head." You press on with the lie. Given you hurt everywhere, you feel it necessary to not divulge that to ''MUM'' & ''DAD''. It'll only upset them. <<set $mumdadtrust to $mumdadtrust -1>>\ ''MUM'' runs a cold cloth under the tap and soothingly presses it against your head till the bleeding stops. "Try and be more careful, okay?" You get back to [[EATING->UNCLE RETURNS]]

"Something attacked me." The bluntness of your words land with a heavy thud at the dining table. <<if $mumtruth1 eq "yes">>"What do you mean?!" ''MUM'' blurts out. "Like the thing you mentioned this afternoon?"<</if>> "Something?!" ''DAD'' exclaims. "What type of something?" "It was a ''MONSTER''." ''DAD'' shakes his head. "Now come on ''$name''. You don't have to make stuff up. Was it someone from school?" A shiver runs through you. Of course, they are gonna think it's about those bullies at school... You hesitate too long. "No-" you begin but are cut off immediately by your slightly panicked parents. "We'll have to speak to your ''HEADMASTER'' about this on Monday." ''DAD'' is saying to ''MUM''. "This has gone far enough." "Oh darling, I'm so sorry. We'll see what we can do at school tomorrow." For a moment you regret saying anything. You'd been trying to put those bullies at school out of your mind over your birthday weekend but the dread of returning to school has flooded back in. All said and done though, the way your parents have reacted has made you feel so much better. You are glad you told them. <<set $mumdadtrust to $mumdadtrust +2>><<set $bullytruth to true>>\ You get back to [[EATING->UNCLE RETURNS]].

As you continue munching through dinner you all hear the FRONT DOOR open and bash against the hallway wall. ''MUM'' sighs. "That'll be ''UNCLE JACK''." There are further clattering noises from the hallway as a clearly drunk ''UNCLE JACK'' makes his way to the kitchen. "Started without me, have you?" he confidently demands as he staggers in. "Where's mine?" Ignoring his attitude, ''MUM'' stands up and heads over to the stove. "Dinner is at 7pm every night Jack. Not our fault if you can't tell the time." ''UNCLE JACK'' opens his mouth to grumble but ''MUM'' shuts him up. "Now sit down and I'll get you a plate." ''DAD'' eyes his brother warily while you try to avoid eye contact at all. You don't like ''UNCLE JACK'' when he is behaving this way. It's a little bit frightening. ''$petname'' <<if $pet eq "cat">>meows <</if>><<if $pet eq "dog">>woofs <</if>>gently from under the table. ''UNCLE JACK'' glances down, he seems shocked they are there. "Oh, I see, this stupid creature is back is it?" ''MUM'' pulls a questioning look. "''$petname'' lives here, ''JACK''" "Well, it was pissing me off this morning, making a load of noise, so I stuck the stupid thing in the ATTIC." "What?" the three of you gasp. "Hell, I was gonna bring it down when I came back. Knew it would be fine. But seems like you got there first." You feel your face reddening. How dare he? You clench your first and dig your nails into your palm. [[TRY TO KEEP YOUR COOL->UNCLE CONFRONT]]

You throw back the blanket and stand up on the bed. The ''MONSTER'' looks at you, slime dripping from the teeth in its wide open mouth. You confidently stare it down. <<if $pet eq "cat">>''$petname'' hisses at the ''MONSTER''. It looks like they are going to help you fight this thing! <<addCompanion "cat">> You look down at your $pet who stands up, gives you a look then turns back to the ''MONSTER'' with a determined look on their face.<</if>>\ <<if $pet eq "dog">>''$petname'' growls at the ''MONSTER''.

"[[LET'S SEE WHAT YOU GOT!->firstbattle]]"

It's almost like you set a bomb off in the kitchen. <<set $uncletrust to $uncletrust -4>>\ You hear a stunned gasp from your ''MUM'' in the beat before ''UNCLE JACK'' lunges for you out of his chair. It's an almost comical Homer Simpson attempt to grab you but ''DAD'' is already on his feet and slams his brother against the wall. "That's for what you did to ''$petname!''" you shriek. "And for whatever horrible other things you've been up too!" There is a spark of fear in ''UNCLE JACK''S eyes as he looks back at you while your parents take control of the situation. "''$name'', come here." ''DAD'' commands. "Now you are gonna apologise to ''UNCLE JACK''. And then ''UNCLE JACK'' is going to get the hell out of our house." [[APOLOGISE->Apologise]]

"You dropped it?" ''UNCLE JACK'' sneers. "Settle down ''JACK''," ''DAD'' says, an edge to his tone. "$heshe has had a tough day." "A tough day!" he laughs, mockingly and begins to stand up. "Just wait till you're my age and you've been thrown away like a piece of rubbish. Once you hit 25 no one wants you anymore. But what would a spoilt little brat like you know anything about that?" ''DAD'' is up like a shot. "What did you say about my $sondaughter?" There is a spark of fear in ''UNCLE JACK'''s eyes and he looks back at you while your ''DAD'' towers over him. "Nothing." He finally whimpers. "Get out ''JACK''. You will not talk to my family like that." ''UNCLE JACK'' hovers for a moment, considering his options. You shuffle in your seat and avoid his glare. He backs down, outnumbered now ''MUM'' has also stopped what's she's doing. "Look-" he pleads. "No, ''JACK''." ''MUM'' is firm but you can sense the anger swelling underneath. "Just [[LEAVE->leave]]." <<set $uncletrust to $uncletrust -2>>

"I'm sorry ''UNCLE JACK''. I don't know what came over me. I really didn't mean to break it." ''UNCLE JACK'' doesn't say anything, ''DAD'' still has him pressed against the wall. "Thank you ''$name''. Now off to bed please. We'll talk about this tomorrow." Without looking back you [[HEAD OFF TO YOUR ROOM->enddinner]]

"You too." ''DAD'' says, seeing your empty plate. "Go get ready for bed please. We'll talk about this tomorrow." You head [[UPSTAIRS->enddinner]] avoiding ''UNCLE JACK'S'' glare.

<<set $location to "the UPSTAIRS HALLWAY">><<set $goal to "Get ready for bed">>No sooner has your foot hit the upstairs hallway you hear voices start again in the kitchen. "Get out ''JACK''." You hear ''DAD'' say in a low voice. "You're not welcome here when you're drunk." ''UNCLE JACK'' says something in response that you can't make out. Almost immediately there is movement as your uncle is steered out of the house. The front door opens and you stand statue still, holding your breath. There are muttered words before the door finally slams. "''$name?''" ''DAD'' calls up. "Are you there?" [["YES, I'M HERE."->"Yes, I'm here"]] [[SAY NOTHING->Stay quiet.]]

"Yes, I'm here," you shout back. "We asked you to go get ready for bed not snoop around!" ''DAD'' snaps, clearly annoyed at having had their private conversation spied on. "Get ready for bed, dear," ''MUM'' encourages warmly. <<set $mumdadtrust to $mumdadtrust -1>>\ You hurry to the bathroom where you quickly brush your teeth and wash your face. Do you need to use the TOILET? [[YES->usetoilet]] [[NO->notusetoilet]]

You stay quiet, and take some careful steps backwards into the shadows. "Night dear," you hear them call up assuming you are in your room. You quickly take a few steps towards the bathroom, open the door and shout "night" back to them. Satisfied they believed you weren't snooping you quickly brush your teeth and wash your face.

"Is he coming back?" ''MUM'' pauses. "No. Good night, sleep tight." "Night ''MUM''.<<if $petcompanion eq true>> Night ''$petname''.<</if>>" With that she reaches in and flicks off the light switch.

''[TUTORIAL: This MONSTER is quite close and when they get close enough you'll be able to lash out with your CRICKET BAT.

''[TUTORIAL: You are about to fight a MONSTER! BATTLES are turn based and allow you to either ATTACK or DEFEND. You can ATTACK by throwing items you have picked up. If you DEFEND you will halve any damage you take. Your chance to hit with throwable weapons is a percentage of how SMART you are. The smarter you are the better your chance to hit. Each time you get hit your ENERGY goes down. When it hits zero you will collapse and lose the battle. MONSTERS have different attacks but will do the most amount of damage if they get near. Do all you can to stop them getting too close. Lastly, in this first battle your $pet companion has joined you and will fight by your side. They will have a turn of attacks too but cannot be hurt.

"No dear," I expect they are outside hiding in the garden if they're not sat on or under a bed inside." You take a breath ready to plough into the detail; how you have a note that says your $pet has been taken, how you've seen ''MONSTERS'' inside and outside in broad daylight. You take that breath but then ''MUM'' says: "Maybe it's just your big $sibling playing tricks on you?" Shaken, the words you'd put together fail to find your lips. "No!" you insist, trying to pull away. "It wasn't ''$siblingname'' trying to scare me! ''$petname'' is missing!" ''MUM'' gives you another squeeze and lets you go. "They'll come back, dear. Right about dinner time I expect." Defeated, you stand there thinking of something to say. By the time you've done so ''MUM'' has finished what she was doing.

They would most probably help you but ''$petname'' is your pet and you know this is something you need to deal with on your own.
